This has been such as wonderful podcast with a key figure in the music business and this show opened up a whole lot more of James McMurtry than just his songwriting. I hope you replay this again sometime in the future. Watching him out in the woods by his house simply shooting some of his old favorite guns was fun also. check it out, and look for his quote on masks in the final 5 seconds.
The purpose of politics is to improve people's lives. I love this man's heart and mind. I love his thoughtful music the best. Bush and Cheney lied us into a war we can't lie our way out of. I love the stories in the beautiful music he shares from his heart. I love his mind and his art.
Great songs James. My friend, banjo player Blair Lundstedt just turned me onto your music n' politics. I appreciate your work to encourage safety right now - esp by canceling tours.
1:11 It occurs to me that if we're having a house concert in our own houses, I could play along. Ok, I could try to play along. Just might have to look into this.
McMurtry is a smart, experienced, ethical, genteel man. What's not to like? Its a shame the host doesn't seem to know the difference between a bar-room chat and an interview. I didn't watch this to listen to his blather. Interesting time capsule from the beginning of the pandemic tho.
Thanks for commenting! Our apologies the conversation wasn’t to your liking. Our show is definitely more of a chat, so yeah the host does talk too. We are not 60 minutes lol. But we definitely appreciate the blather , sorry feedback.
