I think that pretty much goes for most every country song. Simple life experiences and pleasures. Guy met a girl who was into GNR late night at a bar and they lived happily ever after.

Interesting, I figured there had to be more to the story. Maybe Duff just never felt in sync with Frank but tried to work through that and it finally got to a point where he felt it wasn’t going to happen and a change was needed. Would make sense that it’s “his drummer” who’s taking over too.

Kind of a weird situation but that’s par for the course with this band. Not that it really matters but he either came to this decision pretty recently, he was thinking about it but just not speaking about it publicly, or the band felt that it was time for a new drummer all of a sudden.

I mean who knows what really goes on behind closed doors. Could be a lot of legitimate stuff we’re not privy to. Just odd timing and out of the blue. Kind of like when they got rid of Pittman, but that didn’t seem as amicable.

Interesting timing to be leaving. Has he commented on this at all? I wonder if it was solely his choice or if it was a mutual parting of ways. Hope they at least knew this was a possibility with shows on the horizon in a few months.

Never heard that stuff from Brain. Good pull there. Some time has passed so maybe he has changed his tune but I don’t really see him coming back to play with the current lineup. Maybe Sorum? We’ll see.

Edit: I just re-read the part about the amicable exit. So it sounds like it was a mutual decision, although that could be just a nice way to put it and the band actually had someone else in mind that they preferred. With this band, who knows if we’ll ever really know and ultimately it doesn’t really matter. I wish they were bringing in a drummer to help with the release of new music but we know that’s not the motivation in all likelihood. Frank lasted a long time and he was loyal. Who’s next? Most likely they already know who it is, they’re just not showing their cards yet.

Yeah, I was monitoring early on Tuesday night and all the projections were Trump was going to win and by a decent margin. And those kept getting stronger as the night went on, but I still didn’t trust them. But it did play out that way, which was shocking. Never thought he’d win the popular vote. Like you said, the whole democratic platform and campaign was Trump is Hitler and “anybody but Trump”. Apparently that didn’t work? Were the 11 million more people that voted against him just fed up with the last four years? Doesn’t really add up.
