I think todays country western is very close to yesterdays rock n roll

Thats probably why I like it so much

Today's country is amusing.  Singers pretending to be their grandfather, singing as if they grew up like he did, as if they talk like he did, worked like he did, loved like he did, dressed like he did, etc...

Grab an espresso and send me a tweet, cowboy.

Vent time:  

SO, I got my Twenty One Pilots tickets (YAY!) and actually bought as many as they would allow so I could bring friends, too. 
Then the following exchange happens: 

Me:  Got the tickets, one reserved for you!
Friend:  Perfect! Can I send you the money via Zelle?
Me:  I don't know what that is, but I have paypal and can meet you for cash or check.  
Friend: Zelle is a way to transfer money between banks with email or phone number.  Check your bank mobile app for it, it's easy and no fees. 
Me:  I use XXX Bank, I don't see anything like that. 
Friend:  Look for transfer money, maybe, in your options.
**quizzically looks through bank app and and see nothing like that**
Me:  you know what else is no fees and even easier? CASH!


**upon google search, looks like my bank does not have Zelle launched at this time. Seriously, what's so hard about people taking out cash these days?    But noooo, people expect me to do all the legwork to get tickets (on presale, at that), and then want me to figure out some new system to take their money?   How about no, maybe I'll find someone who wants your ticket for straight cash instead.  :96:

And back a few pages I made comment the only place outside of the arena or outside my own mind about doing the right thing. 

Tomorrow morning my attorney and I sit with the team of attorneys from a 55k+ employee company worth billions and discuss waste fraud and abuse by people from their senior vice president ranks........ I blew the hell out of that whistle... Do they squash me or do I get their attention along with a chunk of their asses?  Here is the thing I'm thinking makes them most uneasy, and its the truth: it aint about money from my vantage... Its about principle and legacy... And it's because fuck them, thats why.

I guess it might be if my bank was set up for it.... but according to the Google, it is not yet launched for mine (a national bank, fwiw, not some small potatoes local bank).  
My bank must be slow on the technology-uptick, much like myself.

Good luck, Drew!  Hang in there.  Kitten posters and whatnot.

Happy birthday Fearless Frankie.  Celebrate them every year, it's better than the alternative.

My i s c & a aggie wife uses Venmo to transfer money amongst her friends when they do stuff like that. I just use cash.  Regardless, since you're the one that got the ticket, they should arrange to pay you in whatever way you request as long as it's reasonable.  Cash is certainly reasonable.

Well, Drew, it sounds like you have the facts on your side and that should count for something.  Dispassionate, unadorned facts frankly stated are a beautiful thing.
Happy Birthday, Frankie.
I try to not ever have to transfer my money to others. If somebody wants to give me money, I prefer ones. They go farther.
