After his solo show a couple of weeks ago things were pretty low key .. so an old man there takes a picture with BJ (like a teenage girl with Justin Bieber), then he posts it on FB.
I look like a total dweeb ..

Alt-country is a very broad spectrum. What's some stuff you like, so I can give some comparable recommendations

OK, I was just making a general statement. Don't know anything about that band to criticize them.

and i'd agree with you for the most part
if a band has to cuss in EVERY song... yeah, it's a bit over done IMO

There's a time and a place to cuss. Sometimes it adds power and emotion to a song that couldn't be achieved with another word. Other times its just trying to hard and trying to shock people with the word "frick" because the writer isn't good enough to elicit emotion otherwise.
