Like it or not...in today's world a man is judged by the car he owns/drives.
, among other things.
Other things, like job/career, income, looks, height, attire etc.
Gonna own a truck for work/play, might as well go big and beautiful.
The day I saw that new Tundra '1794' on Youtube I fell in love with it.
So roomy, so country, so me.
Wouldn't fit in my garage, would cost too much to buy and run, and wouldn't fit within the car spaces at the mall, though...so I'll just have to make do with a Corolla sedan or hatch if ever I need a new car.
But if I were a tradie, on tradie income, I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Jason Aldean song is attacked by Progressives.
Song soars to number One, mainly because attacks are lies.

Funny how that works.

Yknow I would almost give you the thumbs up on that, because I have heard enough country music to understand where he is coming from.  I dont think the small town ethos of looking out for each other really needs to be taken as promotion of trigger happy vigilantes.  I can see how it makes an unpleasant thud on urban ears, and I understand why some might project the xenophobia and/or racism on the lyrics, but really I dont feel every small town song needs to combed over for nasty nits.

That said I am more a Mellencamp fan when it comes to small town songs. Mellencamp drills down to some truths, while this guy seems more about fantasizing.  Also some good small town tracks from the likes of Robert Johnson, Steve Earle, and Spruce Bringsteen.

And maybe next time research the history of the town square you are shooting the damned video in, director!

Oh yeah life goes on...

Jason Aldean deserves to learn what the fuck he is talking about. That means having his tired ass dragged behind a truck till most of his skin falls off and his heart stops, like they do in small towns.

If you do not know what I am talking about, look it up. A recent example happened in Texas.

You can be proud of anything if you are dumb enough. There are millions of Russians proud of how their war is going in Ukraine.

There are millions of republicans proud of abusing their children.

Sense does not come gently and sense cannot wait.

In bambuworld, Ford Mustang cars with petrol/gasoline engines are being recalled, some problem with them.
As that's happening an EV Mustang was being advertised on my tv.

I'm wary of vehicles built as left hand drive that are then changed to right hand drive, I can see how things might go wrong that.
Not sure if Mustangs sold here are built as left hand drive, and then converted, or built as right hand drive to start with.
One advantage of left hand drive is that if you're right handed you can easily shoot carjackers trying to open your driver's door.

The most common way small towns kill is by boredom.

Boredom is better by far than certain kinds of excitement.

Bambu cannot get a gun. He has to make do with a boomerang instead in his automotive defense arsenal.

Aileen Cannon timed the stolen secrets trial perfectly to deal a death blow to the GOP. It starts too late for any other republican to gain traction and early enough for donald to be processed, deloused and assigned his number before the convention.

Cannon has looked at the lay of the land and decided President Biden should run unopposed for his second term.

I suspect she will use pre trial motion practice to push it back. We will see.

And maybe next time research the history of the town square you are shooting the damned video in, director!


The director and the Production Company must have.

The Courthouse was featured in a Runaway June music video for their 2019 song We Were Richthe 2022 Paramount holiday film Nashville Country Christmas with Tanya Tucker, and Miley Cyrus , the 2009 film "
Hannah Montana: The Movie.
Not mention a host of other backdrops over the years by local Nashville and Tennessee productions.

Maybe it is you that needs to do your homework.

Help me out here. Which of those movies had a heavily implied threat of vigilante justice as a main theme? My guess is Hannah Montana, the Movie.
