Back in 2015, I posted series of videos where Artie Lange and Norm Macdonald told stories of meeting Bob Eucker. The link to one of the oddest stories went dead shortly after it, but after searching for it again, I can report that I still can’t find the original story but Artie retold it on another podcast. The only difference is that in the original version I heard, the punchline has Sinatra’s goons saying “Now the bag’s on you, Drysdale!”.

I want to be your Sledgehammer
While I don’t think Harry Styles did anything new with or added anything unique to this cover of Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer, the live drums on this are fucking fantastic.

Baby trashes bar in Las Palmas
Via someone’s facebook post, I clicked this more out of boredom or procrastination rather than interest, and was audibly giggling in my seat at work. Maybe you need a 1 year old to really appreciate it, but hopefully not.

Listening the Rain
On the topic of Sturgill covers, I thought I would keep it going because I got this song stuck in my head doing that last post.
I was thinking about posting Long White Lines ever since I read it here, but I can’t find the Buford Abner version anywhere. The Aaron Tipping version is very 90’s country, so…
Man, Sturgill can do a cover. And as good of a guitarist as he is, when he was touring with Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, the Estonian country shredding guitarist was always mentioned. This cover Listening to the Rain (originally by the Osborne Brothers) featured that guitarist pretty well.

Bell Bottom Blues and other blues
Can’t really hit the high notes, but still a pretty good cover.
He can really do a cover. In addition to all the covers on his albums, I love his cover of I Never Go Around Mirrors.
In other Sturgill Simpson info, he did an extensive interview with Steven Hyden about frustrations with the music business and (this might be the writer speculating more than Sturgill) that he might not want to tour after this current tour.
