James McMurtry on Music, Politics and the Need for Change

[@murrayjimm]

This has been such as wonderful podcast with a key figure in the music business and this show opened up a whole lot more of James McMurtry than just his songwriting. I hope you replay this again sometime in the future. Watching him out in the woods by his house simply shooting some of his old favorite guns was fun also. check it out, and look for his quote on masks in the final 5 seconds.

One of the best songwriters in the past 20 years ,big fan here …… how we going to build a wall,without any Mexicans anyway

[@kurtnutin3968]

It’s a line in one of his songs !!!

1:11 It occurs to me that if we're having a house concert in our own houses, I could play along. Ok, I could try to play along. Just might have to look into this.

Great interview, and very prescient.

The purpose of politics is to improve people's lives. I love this man's heart and mind. I love his thoughtful music the best. Bush and Cheney lied us into a war we can't lie our way out of. I love the stories in the beautiful music he shares from his heart. I love his mind and his art.

Well said 🙏🏼

Wonder if James will ever write one of his "scathing indictments" of Pfizer or Ukraine???

Great songs James. My friend, banjo player Blair Lundstedt just turned me onto your music n' politics. I appreciate your work to encourage safety right now - esp by canceling tours.

Truth teller extraordinaire

[@LoneStarPlate]

Agreed!

[@tbamagic]

I like much of James' music. have attended his shows all over the USA. Have all of his CDs. The older ones are his best. But I don't agree with some of his politics. And that "host" is an empty suit....."Trump has never had a job"...what???? He's had a TON of jobs!

To be fair, you make decisions on the information you have at hand and err on the side of caution when it is other people's lives. Would like to see a Fauci song. Just because he's a liberal doesn't mean he's stupid.

McMurtry is a smart, experienced, ethical, genteel man. What's not to like? Its a shame the host doesn't seem to know the difference between a bar-room chat and an interview. I didn't watch this to listen to his blather. Interesting time capsule from the beginning of the pandemic tho.

[@LoneStarPlate]

Thanks for commenting! Our apologies the conversation wasn’t to your liking. Our show is definitely more of a chat, so yeah the host does talk too. We are not 60 minutes lol. But we definitely appreciate the blather , sorry feedback.

THERE'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE SAYING, "THE APPLE DOESN'T FALL FAR FROM THE TREE"! ...

[@Jordan-ut5ko]

[@LoneStarPlate]
