At midday, sun broke through the cloud cover that had dominated the morning. Earlier there had been brief periods of rain.
Along the roadway and the house yards, blades of new spring green grass poked through the dead yellow remains from last fall.
The host of the show, Stryker, interviewed one of the members of Cypress before playing this song. They talked about the group’s roots, playing shows all over to get attention and sending out tapes. They also ask about his thoughts on the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake. He felt like Lamar has won it with his Super Bowl performance, and that Drake should move on, and that beefs are good for the rap and the hip-hop industry.
I guess there have been rivalries in other genres of music. Most of the time the beefs occur between members of the same band when the band breaks up. Maybe there have been issues in country. Certainly, there is one right now between mainstream country artists and alternative and/or outlaw country artists.
It’s all just noise really to get people talking about the artists and music. So most of it probably is contrived to make money.
I think stuff like that would drive me insane if I were a musician.
Jodi mentions that she could maybe get her horse to make a noise similar to the one that is the signature for this song.
