(No good version of this exist on YT, only crappy ones like the one I had to use for this post. Please click the following link to appreciate it in the proper HD format: Sturgill Simpson - A Call To Arms)
Okay, okay, yeah, we just featured this song. Sorry. 3 reasons I'm playing this:
- We Play A Lot Of Sturgill Simpson.
- This recent SNL gig was pretty much the answer to his curious introduction to the rest of America (Heh, he loves Blonde. We have so much in common). I mean, check it, there's no way we couldn't play it. Like a gritful veteran legger-outer, he [redacted]in knocked it out of the park.
- Again, we just played this, but hell, today of all days, we should probably consider it again (NOFZ).

Okay, despite the fact that my due diligence on music is pretty strong, I am just this morning finally getting around to Sturgill Simpson.
I likey.
One observation: wow, I never would have guessed "In Bloom" would have worked so seamlessly against this backdrop.
I... have listened to some, and always like, but pretty much I'm in your boat, where I just haven't made the jump. Probably a function of just not listening to as much music generally. Also, too many WGOMers love the guy, so I've gotta be skeptical, right?
I needed this song in 2004. Sadly, it's been relevant every year since.
