Drunken Ramble #437
I just say he was the leader of a steel driving gang.
What did I say to the captain (What’d I say)? You know, the time he brought the steam drill ‘round.
Shaker you better pray, if you miss your six feet of steel, Tomorrow’s gonna be your burying day, day, day.
Polyanne would have been a hell of a woman. Driving steel like a man and so forth.
Fuck yeah.
Oh Lord.
Whatever. Causality pisses me off. Women and men always try to lay blame here and there when the fact is that there is no one at fault. Sure, that last person to date was a bad person, they fucked around. They ruined good things. They were intriguingly melodramatic. At some point in their developmental life, they were used, abused, misused, misguided, or some other decent reason to be unworthy of continued breathing. Fill it to the top, cause I hit rock bottom this time. This paragraph was not autobiographical.
This song is fun. And rocks. Poor me. Poor me. Pour me another shot of whiskey.
Right, causality. Lately, I been getting into bluegrass more than normal. Banjo rolls are God speaking to the soul of man. Declarative sentences rock. “What does that mean,” ask you.
Well, that means I am shit-hammered, Soon as I make a playlist that consists of almost exclusively of Ray Wylie Hubbard, Hank Williams, and mandolins, shit has went wrong.
I want to play so bad. Music is pouring out of me, but is not flowing into anything. I am not religious, but I’ll be Goddamned if a Blackface Twin with a couple of JBL’s worth of tubes driven to the limits of physics don’t throw me into convulsions.

Well, I like the sentence about Banjo rolls--I wonder if it they also speak to the hollers and then the hollers? You know, they speak back.
The hoops and the hollers and the creeks and the wallers. They all speak back, but if you're not quoting "Old Grave On The Hillside, you might have out obscured me. I'm Ok with that, though. I knew it would happen some day.
I also love the banjo rolls sentence. And it is also vintage Casey.
*scrawls "banjo rolls" in little notebook next to "Thai hooker"*
