easily get emotional right now talking about it when he died i remember the meeting that we were in and i remember thinking am i going to have to walk out of this meeting and then like not walking out of the meeting and then saying okay i can compartmentalize this but it's the it's the musical focus of our friendship in a way that all of our experience with the wax paper dogs and i'm so glad that you like applied that filter to incorporating a number of albums into your list from that because it was so important and it's it's only overridden in our friendship by i think our moral experience where it was like it was just about the enjoyment it wasn't it wasn't even about what we were going to create it was about the experience of being together and we would talk about the experiences from the albums from the songs the fact that he chose to write about certain songs the album i picked is i'm always on a mountain when i fall i somehow i still have this tape now i remember that you your dad had this tape and then i got a copy of it because yeah he had that uh it has my favorite merle song which this was released in NUMBER_TOKEN my favorite song is i'm always on a mount when i fall the title of the album too incidentally it's it's a song that he didn't write which makes me feel weird about it being my favorite but it is what it is the production on this is the album you read about the album now and it didn't do well it was one year later is when he released servant NUMBER_TOKEN proof and everybody that was like a renaissance for merle and but i listen to this and the the production and the subject matters that he talks about i mean this has the immigrant on it that's i mean that's relevant today uh all of these songs are so many of these songs are so good but like on the b side life of a rodeo cowboy and there ain't no good chain gang are great but the best song of this album it's been a great afternoon yeah i mean the fact that he's he's he's got a radio hit out of a song where he's talking about being hung over and the only way he can get over his hangover is to have an enthralling sexual encounter in the in the early afternoon and the celebration of that is something that was hilarious to us as conservative high schoolers it was it's like he snuck things in that we were like what couldn't show my i couldn't let anybody know i was listening to chili peppers or uh if it was dr dre but he snuck it on the radio and talking about all this kind of stuff well and that's that's interesting because and then that's just that's essentially just racism at that point right the fact that yeah old white country dude you can talk about things that are pretty explicit but it was veiled language it was veiled but but you know but i mean not very you know yeah it was the fact that like yeah i can sit here and listen to this with my dad but you know if a guy's gonna be rapping about his sexual exploits that's uh
