Jason found Jason Isbell through the DBT

Don't leave out Mike Coley one without the other would be great but together totally awesome! My personal favorite is Cooley but I love the songs of both.

Now it 2022 & very much still is & I believe will continue to be until one day enough of us stand up with a foot down.

Its kinda more towards all the Blacks that have been gunned down. By there own community and by the whites.

yeah man..

Ignorance is bliss. google Larry Elder about cops murdering blacks. Spread it to your friends cuz time is short before something really bad happens.

Trayvon. *BANG* Trayvoff.

Guess it means that you ain't black. (and I don't care that Larry Elder is.)

Honestly reading through the comments it's just a widely spaced thing of "this is relevant again" and it's hard to keep track of what tragedies everyone is referencing. ACAB.

Its 4 years of relevancy and its sad

It's been almost 6 years since August 2016 when this was released and today, May 17th 2022, and I'm sorry to say that this is still as relevant as ever, if not more so. We just had a racist white 18yr old kid kill 10 black people in a grocery store this past weekend because he was worried about the "white replacement theory" being spread by Republicans. Our nation is a travesty.

It's still relevant 6 years later I'm afraid.

Thanks no thanks

It didn't used to be that way, but you're right.

bullshit, you ever buy one of their great albums

There are many many bands that do that, not just the sainted DBT

There's a lot of bands out there like that, just hard to find because they aren't popular.

krisannecombs they nailed it.

Still feeling strong today. Maybe even more.

Mood

Been preaching peace and respect eachother for 20 years 😪. So sad.

Didn't mnps reinstate their police force after the heat was off them? You could at least bitch a lot.

I heard half the audience walked out when they played this in San Luis Obispo (just north of Santa Barbara). It's more than just mainly the South. Southern California too. Like they say, it's everywhere.

Truer words, never have been uttered. Miss them live, right about now, ya know? One day in the future, till then... Memories of tears, smiles and laughter Thank you for commenting. Meant a lot. Ya dig?😊

Where do you live that they play DBT on the radio? I need to be your neighbor.

They have so many great songs I'm glad that you discovered them

@@jamescain9550 A friend on the DCC net introduced me to them in '01 and have been a fan of theirs ever since(just see my playlist's)....

Public radio

Mine, too.

I agree

The whole song breaks my heart. I remember reading about Mike Brown the day it happened at work at an ice cream shop about twenty minutes away and crying, and I remember how we lined the street with candles the next night, and I remember the protests and and how unjust it all was.

😂😂😂

Exactly when the tears hit

Everytime they lose fans they gain 5 more that appreciate these white guys doin hella amazing ass shit. This indigenous chic sends much love and prayers to these fellow Americans.

You sound like a thoughtful guy. Our differences show how art can be viewed so differently depending on the eyes and ears of the beholder. I think the song is deep. Deep in the sense that it challenges us to look at this situation not from whatever pre-existing notion of white-black-police-protest, etc. view one might traditionally hold. "We want our truths all fair and balanced as long as our notions lie within it". He says don't look to him for answers because he doesn't know what it means. He is challenging each one of us to take another look at the issue from a different place. A different perspective. "What is the point of post racial when old prejudices remain". By some of the reactions here and dozens on the DBT Facebook page, it appears certain fans aren't comfortable with putting themselves in the place of the opposite view. That's fine. This song as exposed that a deep divide remains. I think that is deep as hell. Peace.

Ha ha u know nothing of music and political activism....

But better yet, it'll REALLY stick with the true DBT fans like us!

shallow song? WTF are you listening to? They are asking what it all means...not preaching or giving solutions for fuck sake. Our next president, dipshit Don the Con sure thinks politics is plain, clear and simple.

Fuck you Internet tough guy wanna be.

Demographic, shemographic. If you're human, you're part of the DBT demographic.

Hopefully....millions won't vote for hate in 2020.

If you like it then it's for you. Music is universal.

@@johnlindsay5214 Thankfully, hate officially lost this election. However, it is rather disturbing how many people actually did vote for it.

Rest in Peace Trayvon

DBT didn't grow balls they always had them. and God bless them for it!

Three words: DRIVE BY TRUCKERS

Who is hated? All I see here is sycophancy for the DBTs.

You can't be serious.

Ahhh... I've seen this band many, many times and I can totally picture Cooleydoing/saying that! LADY DBTs FOREVER! (Thanks for the awesome comments. Great DBT story.!!!)

Thanks for sharing this. Just great. Patterson and Cooley are a gift to our nation. Cooley: “It’s all about consistently holding bullshit up to light of reason.”

Saw a show a couple months back where Patterson changed the lyrics to Southern Thing to say "to the fucking rich man all black people look the same" it's like he's dating some liberal hipster out there on the west coast and he's trying to impress her and her armpit hair.

+GTA BANJO He/they aren't the first band to change lines of songs to what they feel is happening years after a song was recorded. Won't be the last. It's fine to disagree, but, for people to think this is some complete 180 from things they have written about is pretty ridiculous.

Bill Murray fucking hates you.

+jakeiverson57 good for him

Nah Bill Murry likes you, just not the other guy.

If you don't tear up when listening to this, your soul is dead.

@@dilligaf2818 Says the white guy.

@@dilligaf2818 But it's Black lives that are endangered by police behavior right now so ALM is unhelpful bullshit at the moment.

@James Zell For 18 years I lived smack in the middle of a predominantly black neighborhood. You lose.

Listen to more of DBT's stuff - they've always been big on catching people's attention!

Yeah and finally you end up without a father and a government that does care as long as your unborn but doesn't care at all after. Great! I can almost smell the "positive male influence" of republicans. I'm sure Barron Trump will be a respectful human beeing one day, given his most respectful father (he has the worlds greatest respect! Believe me!) So, you actually want to discuss the real issues or do you just want to keep blaming Obama and the democrats for every bad thing that ever came to you?

Redd Pille Zimmerman was not “Authority”. He was the true “thug”

Drive-By Truckers are Righteous, always have been. If you’re Righteous, you must pick a side. This is them picking a side. And they’re picking the right side. I was driving with an African-American friend in 2005, he was in the passenger seat of my car. We had been in a small town outside of Omaha, visiting a friend. We stopped at a store and headed toward Omaha. A few miles out of town, a cop stops me. He asked for my ID, and my passenger’s ID, which I have never had happen. He took our ID’s, and came back around 10 minutes later, and said, “Have a good day.” No ticket. No warning. As we were driving away, my friend said: “He stopped us because I’m black. He took my ID, and checked for warrants and/or drug convictions. Since I have no warrants or drug convictions, he let us go.” I wasn’t speeding or driving erratically. It was around noon on a Saturday, beautiful weather, in the summer. This is what African-Americans face all the time: It’s a presumption of guilt. So I think we need more to do, because that was 2005, and it still obviously happens today.
