Hood stated that he is welcoming recommendations for new band names to replace Drive-By Truckers. “I’m not sure changing it now serves any higher purpose, but I’m certainly open to suggestions.”


He never really comes out and says what is offensive.

I’m offended by your offense

I thought I was a pretty open minded person but this shite is getting to me. Where can I get a MAGA hat?

I've thought that several times over the past few weeks. Every time I do, something else even more stupid comes along and outdoes it. This is off the rails lunacy.

Well, Asleep at the Wheel is already taken, so maybe Wheel in the Ditch would fit such a fricked up move.

Change it to "The Pandering Pattersons".

"Kneeling down sissies" seems like it might do the trick.

Maybe he can get new music to replace the Drive by Truckers music, because it fricking blows.

Hood never explicitly explained the connotation associated with the Drive-By Truckers name, though drive-by shootings are often used amongst rival gangs. Ku Klux Klan members have also been known to target black communities using this form of violence.


Oooohhh....it could be a KKK reference. OK, now I get it.

Don’t know about you guys but when I think drive by shootings I always think white people.

You want to talk about offensive. How bout Patterson Hood. He should wash the feets of 1,000 colored people and then off himself as penance.

He's a terrible person and a not that good singer. Hell, I listen to a lot of their music and that includes only one/two of his songs. Cooley is of a similar mindset, but doesn't come across as douchey. Hell, even his attempts at busting on Bush didn't really work.

Patterson Hood is literally the definition of white guilt. All his songs were always about how poor and awful his life is and how much he wants to kill himself, but now he’s rich so he has to have something else to complain about. Hood makes Jason Isbell look normal.

Mike Cooley is a liberal, but he’s cool as hell and isn’t obnoxious.

I loved DBT. Saw them five times.

Last time I saw them, Hood let us know if we, or anyone we knew, voted for Trump, we were racists and weren't welcome.

Cooley later told a story about Ronald Reagan sending the KKK to advocate for him during the 1980 election. Yes, Ronald Reagan and the KKK were hand in hand. The same KKK that was founded by the Democrats just a couple of decades prior.

I left the show and haven't listened to them since.
