I enjoyed the doc and at times get tired of Jason's politics. He has backed off the politics on Twitter a little over the past 12-18 months.

During COVID it was unbearable.

His wife is a little nutty I think but being married to an artist like that has to be a beatdown.

I think his new album will be pretty good but we'll see. I like the death wish song.

I love how you defend him by acting like his politics are similar to classic liberals like Steve Earle, Van Morrison, or someone like Dolly Parton when in reality he's a totalitarian borderline Marxist who thinks people with different political views than him shouldn't exist


This, frick that smug jackass. I haven’t forgotten about his vaccination requirement to see him live during the height of the Covid hysteria, either. Guy will never get another cent out of me.

God damn this is an incredibly funny sentence and you'll never understand why.

But people here seem to dislike him because his politics are left of center, he is fairly vocal about it and most people these days (on both sides) can’t handle people having differing views from them.


You seem to be unaware of being vocal in politics these days, particularly on the left, involve attacking the other side.

I don’t know much about isbell, but tried to check him out based on recommendation and he went from one song being a good old boy country town song to the next being some shameful good old country boy song. To me he seemed to be pandering and insincere based on that so I turned it off

The death wish song is great.

While his last couple albums haven't been masterpieces, there are still a lot of quality songs sprinkled in that I consider up there with some of his best like If We Were Vampires, Last of My Kind, and Only Children. And lots of other "good" songs on those albums.

I miss fat drunk isbell even though he was an a-hole

Nothing he’s done since was as good as the stuff he did back then

He might not be here now but at least he wouldn’t be a woke little bitch

Along with those songs, I think these are some of the best songs he's written in the last 10 years:

Dreamsicle
Letting You Go
Anxiety
Tupelo
Cumberland Gap
Speed Trap Town
24 Frames

Not a single political lyric in any of them for those that are triggered

i'd be curious as to what songs you listened to. tbh I like his first record he put out solo the best out of all of his albums. sirens of the ditch.

SOTD is one of my favorites. I try to put aside politics when listening to music.

Otherwise I would have to stop listening to quite a few people

exactly. 99.9% of people in the entertainment business are planted on the left. a large % of them are also vocal in their opinions. that's fine. as a consumer, people can choose not to listen to their art. but isn't that limiting yourself to what you will listen to? idk, just seems ridiculous to me.
