There's a few good bands from Nashville. Diarrhea Planet, JEFF the brotherhood. But yeah. It's not that great of a music town to be honest. Unless, you like the corporate stuff.

The rural Tennessee isn't really the part you should worry about. It's suburban Tennessee. The suburb culture throughout the state is basically white supremacist.

I agree on a lot of your points. However, I would say Memphis does have a lot to do if you know where to look. Nashville might be solid blue, but the politics of the state is ran b…

No New Orleans, Detroit, or Memphis. I really wished they considered a majority African American community that has the capacity to grow. This is just going to increase inequality.…

It hurts on all levels of the income spectrum, from lower to upper middle class. It's real bad in Tennessee where our flagship public school is 389.9 miles away from what was our b…

The Mother Jones case is completely different. Florida has anti-SLAPP laws, Idaho doesn't. Maybe Florida anti-SLAPP laws aren't good enough, I don't know. But it's a tough balance.…
