General Music Chat

Ok, so now we need the dumbass's perspective. LOL



I did a long tour last week. It was just insane, but one leg had me going from Oklahoma City to St Louis and all I had was 6 hours. Doable, but you can't jack around.

Started to get some diesel in the city and there was a line, so I decided to get it along the highway just outside the crowded city. It was early and the fog was so thick that ya couldn't drive more than about 40mph without feeling you were jumping into a white hole.

I've been that highway several times before, but never noticed that there ain't a dang gas station on that tollroad for at least 45 miles. But I had to go 50 miles to reach the outskirts of Tulsa. Saw a sign along the way indicating gas at an exit, but I'm screwed if they don't have diesel. Took the exit and there were SIX different roads to choose from at the intersection in the middle of foggy nowhere, but no signs for which one leads to "gas"!?!

Since I couldn't see any lights through the wall of fog on my side of the highway, I turned left to go under the highway and drove for miles before giving up, turning around, and going back to try the highway again.



Yep, I was that idiot out of fuel on the side of the highway...except in my case, I called roadside assistance and got 3 hours of practise in my van while waiting on them.

Showed up very late for the gig but very prepared for those who waited around.

One week later, (last Sunday) about 4 AM on the way back from Knoxville, I hit black ice on I40 east of Little Rock, and my bus did two complete 360s at about 60 mph down the highway. That's a sick feeling.

I'm able to type this only because God set me gently into a soft bed of ice beside the highway where I slept comfortably in 7 degrees until a nice State Trooper woke me at 10AM the next day and asked if I could drive out. I did.

It's nice to be home.

That must have been a little stressful Ted, glad to hear you made it safely!

Yod, you don't skateboard i take it.

2 complete 360's is a "720"..

Ya gotta take a deep breath after one of those..and change your shorts. lol

You can't do OK City to STL in 6 hours, not in a auto, impossible, that's between 400 and 500 miles, can't be done. I've run out of Ok City at 100 mph all the way back to Springfield, MO.

Can't be done, not in 6 hours, I'll take that bet.

If you consistently stay at 10 mph over the speed limit without stopping, yes, you can. It's 7 hours and 15 minutes at the speed limit.

My goal is to show up 2 hours early for set up time, so it would not be too critical if it took 7 because I can set up my entire PA in 15 minutes.

But anything less leaves me no time to check into the hotel, set up the merch table, change clothes, talk to anyone, or relax for a minute before doing a 90 minute concert. I hate it when that happens.

So arriving 3 hours later than I planned, I was still able to set up in 15 minutes and get started 90 minutes after official announced start time. Most of the crowd was still there but many had left.

Bullshit

You think I'd lie about it? LOL....who cares what you think, bro?

You'd probably think that playing Dallas, Wichita, Oklahoma City, St Louis, Meridian MS, Birmingham, and Knoxville all in a week is impossible too.


But I do it all the time for the last 12 years.

The math is pretty simple on this. 500 miles/6hrs= 83.3mph average speed.

Moving pretty fast but certainly possible with a good radar detector.

From the MO line to the river is 292 miles always has been, always will be,
add another 200 miles or so from Ok City at least 2 stops to pay the tolls.

Who cares what you think, I've been around the world, and enjoyed success you will probably never know, (and Hardships you can't even think of), I am calling you a liar, and would to your face, and then would go as far as you wanted with it, I don't frighten at all. I can't be beat, you hear that FBob, it's probably not alright if I say it, but you can FBob, I ain't hiding.

I can't be beat, I'm not 1 letter removed from God, but I did get my Xmas card from the baddest mofo in the world today.

Yod you talk all this big sh*t, while you hang out in churches, I firmly believe, Jesus would have tossed your money grubbing azz out of the Temple, as he would most of the Christians today. You travel around singing and playing for the people, who just want to be closer to there God, and how you've convinced them giving you money(which must not be very much, to listen to you describe your financial situation) will help them achieve this closeness. They'd be better off helping there neighbors in need, but u church people gottem believing your gonna help them get to heaven( Oh no another deep subject, u Christians think u know the only way to get to heaven, while most of the world disagrees with you.)

Yeah Yod I think your a liar, cheat, bamboozler, and just a cheap azz religious act, which we have 20 in every little church in America. You can say what you want (and my have we not talked some big sh*t over the years), it don't mean I believe it. Look around where your sitting now at what you've provided for your family. I took care of everyone in my family, and have it setup where the'll always be took care of in a manner they're accustomed to, then after that, have I gone back into the music.

Perhaps I should have never got out of music or never got back in, but my God has answered every prayer I've prayed about (there's some truth in be careful what u pray for), and I know, I KNOW, he will see me thru. I don't believe my God or the Jesus I worship hang out in the sacreligous Christian churches of today. My God is Lord and all powerful, where I sit today is testament to me of this fact.

So you go ahead and be the moral compass on this forum, and lead all the sheep down the path you think is right, I think your wrong.

Really? All this hate because I said I can drive from OKC to St Louis faster than you think I can?

Does shouting others down make you feel better about yourself? Is it your envy that makes you spout this vitriol? You only expose yourself as a bitter loser when you do that. Your silly accusations bounce off of me because they are just that. It's easy to prove, but foolish to answer a fool according to his folly.

So do you hate all churches and all christians? Red flag. Who is the accuser of the brethren? 1 John 3:14

No, it sounds like you are convicted about your own relationship with God. Why don't you surrender everything to Him right now? Or go on hating that which you don't understand.

Totally your choice, bro.

Btw, when driving non-stop I can get from Dallas to Orlando in 14 hours!

Damn Lynard, you are fired up..

Who's wadding up now?

Yod oughta to read his narrative about his trip from OK City, to STL, the fog the stop for diesel, your a fukkin liar, and I guess that probably means you'd steal from me to ( u wouldn't be the 1st). Justify it anyway you want, call me anything you want, judge me anyway you want, you have no effect on me. If you don't want to be called a liar don't fukkin lie, or at least stay abreast of your own narrative.

I didn't think I was shouting you down, just pointing out how full of sh*t you are, truth hurts I guess.

Yeah i'm the loser who took his whole family down to my double wide on 5 acres out side of New Orleans. But that's not what you meant, you just call me loser cause you don't have anything else to call me in your bag of lies. How would you know if i'm a loser or not? I ain't accusing you of nothing, your lying, your story doesn't jive, and you didn't drive it in 6 hours.

I don't hate all churches or any churches, I have no use for them, and I certainly don't try to make any money off them, I've always donated in the past, but I don't think it's money well spent anymore.
So you are like me then, with all this hate, when I simply pointed out your story doesn't work ,it's a lie, to make you a bigshot on this forum. You probably lie to be a bigshot in church also, don't you.

I don't presume to know the mind of God, and how could you know anything about my relationship with God? Surrender everything to him right now, huh. You sound like the preacher, am I also going to still get that sunday school room named after me.

I hate liars and theifs amonst others, I guess I do understand you, according to you, Go ahead and quote your Bible scripts to someone else, you can find a Bible script, to back any argument you want, is that what the Bible's for.

Who is him? Your God? Allah? Buddah? Satan?

Man convicts people like you've convicted me.

You make all your money from the churh, why don't you give it all to "him"?
Cause you don't have that much faith in your god, do you? He still hasn't provided you with all the material goodies you want. You still travel to these churches talking your bullshit, and lies. Go fuk yourself, if you don't want people to call you a liar, it's easy don't lie.

Totally your choice charlatan, but you've made your choice, so live with it. I've made it 54 years without any of your goddam advice, i'll risk what time I got left without listening to your advice.

You belong in church buddy, clean your ears out, and listen to what they're saying.

Let me quote a script, "Thou shalt not lie",

Damn Lynard, you sure are angry..

I think we all been getting pissed on, but getting just as mad isn't going to make it better.

I don't know who's lying, but better yet is the fact that it's really not that kind of thing to get mad about.

"Pick your battles"

Who really cares who long it takes to drive from SF to Tokyo?
Not me cause my submarine is solar powered..and f**k em all if they don't like it. (follow the bubbles, bitches) lol

. How would you know if i'm a loser or not? ,

By the way you lose your composure over how long it takes to drive from OKC to St Louis.

Dave showed you the math. The speed limit is 75 all across Oklahoma and 70 into MO...and it mathematically only takes 6 hours if your average speed is 83.

But blow an artery over it if you want


From Vidor to Terrebone LA will be 4 hours tomorrow then 7 hours to Tallahassee FL the next day, then another 4 to Orlando the next day...

When I finish up Sunday night, I'm going to South Beach Miami for next week while you freeze. Have fun!

It sounds like Lynard is Jealous of Ted! In my opinion you and Paul are the best singers on this forum. Happy New Year Yod!
