DEBATE!

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Day Two, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, Calif., Oct. 5, 2024

It was strictly bluegrass to kick off Day Two of Hardly Strictly Bluegrass as the Dry Branch Fire Squad offered stories about HSB founder Warren Hellman and songs of the Civil War and death and Jesus alongside instrumentals on the Banjo stage. There were no amps during the day-opening set that found the quartet playing and singing into shared mics and telling slow-to-develop tales with good humor.

Later in the day, Moonalice would grace the Towers of Gold audience with the second “White Rabbit” of the festival - following Molly Tuttle’s Oct. 4 version - and Tuttle would return with Golden Highway to back Steve Earle for a set that included a surprise appearance from Emmylou Harris on “Goodbye” and a rare festival encore of “This Land is Your Land” to end Oct. 5 in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park.

As a warm morning turned to a sweltering afternoon that found festivalgoers gathering in shady areas and leaving sun-drenched stretches of grass empty, Jobi Riccio and her rhythm section created a stripped-back, Hejira-era Joni Mitchell/Harris hybrid for the Rooster-farians, as the emcee called those gathered at Rooster stage. Playing during Buddy Miller’s daylong Cavalcade of Stars, Riccio surely earned some new fans.

Showcasing their new How to Make Mistakes LP, Fruition entertained the Swan stage shade-seekers as the quintet with multiple lead singers and multi-instrumentalist members took a a Bandian approach to 21st-century Americana with faux-blood harmonies buttressing ballads like “Still on My Mind.”

Following immediately on the adjacent Towers of Gold, Moonalice - with drummer John Molo, guitarist Barry Sless, singer Lester Chambers, bassist Pete Sears and others - turned in a hugely entertaining and soulful set that included the front-line trio of female vocalists leading the large band through such covers as Marvin Gaye’s “You’re all I Need to Get By” the Grateful Dead’s “Bird Song,” “(Turn on Your) Lovelight” and the aforementioned Airplane number.

Back on the Rooster for the ongoing Cavalcade, former Carolina Chocolate Drop Dom Flemons played bones, harmonica, guitar and quills on traditional songs to demonstrate what being an American Songster is all about. As he performed Elizabeth Cotten’s “Freight Train,” on guitar and “Brown Skinned Girl” on harmonica, Flemons proved himself the rare solo-acoustic performer who could hold a field full of festivalgoers in rapt (near) silence.

But he also had assistance from the Red Dirt Boys - who’d previously played a rich-gumbo show of their own - on original country and western songs from Traveling Wildfire and an old-timey rendition of “Going Down the Road Feeling Bad,” as he danced with rubbery legs of joy. A couple of false starts added to the spontaneous nature of this surprise mini-set.

Carlene Carter provided midafternoon lunchtime country music as the Sound Biteses prepared for Mavis Staples on the Banjo. And she did not disappoint, cooling down the afternoon with such hopeful numbers as “I’m Just Another Soldier,” “Handwriting on the Wall” “Respect Yourself” and “Freedom Highway” as she declared the healing power of music and her gruff, joyful laugh.

“We come to bring you some joy, some happiness, some inspiration - we want you to feel good,” Staples said.

And she made people feel just that though it was disheartening to see the 85-year-old American treasure needing to sit during a portion of her show, which she did not do in Ohio several months ago.

Earle, Tuttle & Golden Highway ended the day with 75 minutes - HSB’s longest performance - and opened with “Warren Hellman’s Banjo.” The show was a little under-rehearsed but a prime example of live music without a net with songs from the Del McCoury-Earle joint the Mountain, a cover of Little Feat’s “Willin’” and perhaps the most-emphatic version of “Copperhead Road” to date.

“This turned out exactly the way I wanted it to,” an exuberant Earle said with a comment that summed up Mr. and Mrs. Sound Bites’ day perfectly.

I posted on Wednesday but I’ve been trying to get some scenes down for future chapters of American Beasts, it’s not much but it’s all my brain can muster as of late:

Joey leaned against the railing that encompassed the porch outside the Spread Eagle, her arms hanging off the wood, holding the glass of bourbon in her hand while Kit poured herself a glass. 

She sniffed at the amber liquid and it burned down into her throat. To her most spirits smelled and tasted like paint thinner but it never stopped her from drinking. Sitting up on the railing, her feet hanging loose, combat boots knocked against the wood. 

Giving her a sideways glance, Joey’s dark eyes were now sunken after the battle that never seemed to end. 

“I know you’ve been up in the mountains. Have you seen him?"

“Who?”

“Stace.”

Swallowing heavily, Kit sipped back on the liquor letting it burn its way down her throat. "He's alive."

Joey looked her up and down, it was hardly an encouraging answer. "That doesn't sound good."

She chewed on the inside of her cheek, it wouldn’t help Joey to know what was actually happening. The details weren’t necessary, not after what she’d been through with John. 

"He's broken. Every time I see him he has new cuts and bruises.” She stabbed her tongue into her cheek, swallowing the saliva that built up in her throat. “He's being eaten alive up there."

"Of all the people for him to end up with too.” Joey shook her head, and took a swig from her glass. “Jesus Christ."

"He's stronger than I thought, I'll give him that. He's done the trials, completed his sacrifice, and he's still standing. But he's not okay."

"What about you?" Joey placed her hand on Kit’s thigh. 

She didn’t flinch. 

"Two down, one to go, and my sacrifice."

"Yet here you are. I don't know whether I should be happy or scared."

Kit stared down into her glass, watching the ice cube floating inside the alcohol. "Bit of both, probably."

"Earl got in contact with me –" Joey stopped herself, Kit already knew what was coming next, " – said you let Faith go."

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"Guess I felt sympathy."

"So you kill John, but not her?"

She shot Joey a sideways glare. "I had my reasons."

💭 pleeeease syb thoughts and opinions on jessie:3

alfjasdfl;k doing first impressions and then a mid-reaping thought because i can't resist

first impression

Sybille is immediately intrigued by anyone who wasn't in the service who prefers to be referred to by their surname. Rook is new to the sheriff's department -- had only been there a few weeks before Sybille had shaken Earl's hand and accepted the job offer.

Rook smacks loudly away at her gum and her eyes raise as Sybille exits Earl's office and enters the bullpen. She kicks her chair into a spin to swivel towards her as she passes. "Hired on the spot, huh?" She pulls an exaggerated grimace when Sybille nods. "Eesh. Red flag."

Sybille cocks a brow. "That a commentary on the department or an assessment of me?"

Rook twirls her ponytail around her finger and gives a half-hearted shrug. She then blows a bubble that's nearly the size of her head. When it pops, she looks surprised to find Sybille still standing at her desk, awaiting an answer. But instead of giving her one, she changes the subject. "You fish?"

Childish is the first thing that comes to Sybille's mind to describe her. Followed immediately by evasive. She's struck with the urge to dissect her and figure out what makes her tick. She quirks a smile. "Worked on a boat for a while down in New Orleans. Know any good spots?"

most recent thought

Every muscle in Sybille's body aches. She has no idea how much time has passed since Jacob's Chosen got the drop on her. All she knows is that she spent longer than usual in the Red Place and had to claw her way out from underneath a pile of corpses. She hadn't even bothered washing. She just shambled her way from the mountains back into the valley because jesus fucking christ, she needs a drink.

Mary May has a shot glass full of whiskey with the bottle set beside it before she even makes it to the counter. She downs it and sits on one of the bar stools. The loud creak that sounds in the empty bar is either from the wood or her bones and she's not entirely sure which.

With a sympathetic smile and gentle tap of her hand against the counter, Mary May says, "Just holler if you need anythin'."

Sybille grunts and nods, not bothering with the shot glass and drinking straight from the bottle.

Her peace and quiet doesn't last much longer than ten minutes. The door to the Spread Eagle slams open, followed immediately by an all too familiar nasally and grating voice. "Hey, Mary May I need more -- holy fuck, Syb you look like shit!"

Both Sybille and Mary May let out a prolonged exasperated groan.

..."Lance Wallnau’s book, “God’s Chaos Candidate” played a significant role in solidifying evangelical support for Donald Trump in 2016, brushing aside concerns about his obvious lack of morality. 

Paula White-Cain gave the invocation at Trump’s inauguration in 2017, at his re-election campaign kick-off in 2019 and his Jan. 6, 2021, pre-insurrection rally. On the second occasion, she gave what experts describe as a ‘spiritual warfare’ prayer: “Let every demonic network that is aligned itself against the purpose, against the calling of President Trump, let it be broken, let it be torn down in the name of Jesus.” 

Dutch Sheets engaged in a swing-state “prayer and prophecy tour” after Joe Biden’s election in November 2020, playing a leading role in building religious support for the Jan. 6 insurrection, in coordination with Trump’s White House. 

All three are prominent members of a rapidly-growing, anti-democratic religious movement known as the New Apostolic Reformation, which few Americans have heard of, except in passing or by way of heated denials. But a new book from Canadian scholar André Gagné, “American Evangelicals for Trump: Dominion, Spiritual Warfare, and the End Times,” could change that, as the NAR seems poised to play an even bigger political role in 2024. 

“Too many of the larger public, and too many who report news, know little about this movement,” said John Dorhauer, recently retired general minister and president of the United Church of Christ, via email. “The trap one must avoid in writing about this subject and reporting on the movement is to do so in a way that comes across as credible without sounding like a conspiracy theorist. The truth is you are in fact writing about a conspiracy. Because of that, large swaths of the American public are just predisposed to dismiss this as too far-fetched to take seriously.”

Gagné’s book is significant, Dorhauer said, because he clarifies and differentiates “various ideologies, theologies and end-game scenarios” in ways particularly helpful to “those of us looking to think strategically about how to offset the damage to our democracy.”  

NAR, Clarkson explained, is hard to understand because it is “constantly changing, [and] has factions in tension with one another. … They are wily because they are worried that the rest of society will figure out who they are and what they are up to.”

The "most radical change" since the Protestant Reformation

Arguably the greatest strength of Gagné’s book is its “focus on how [NAR] adherents speak of their beliefs and practices,” as he describes it, providing a coherent, objective record that can that’s not an outsider’s interpretation — thus evading an objection that religious conservatives have invoked for decades when subject to unwanted scrutiny. This is reflected both in the book’s origin and in its crucial explanation of the NAR, which C. Peter Wagner, who coined the term, described as “the most radical change in how churches operate since the Protestant Reformation.”

Dominion theology, "victorious eschatology" and the Seven Mountain Mandate 

When it comes to theology, Gagné focuses on the “idea of wanting to establish the kingdom of God on earth, the notion of dominion,” a thread long present in evangelical Christianity, but largely more as an aspiration than a master plan, as it is for the NAR. “Wagner was clear on what had influenced him in terms of dominion theology,” Gagné said, and specifically referenced Calvinist philosopher and theologian R.J. Rushdoony, the founder of what is known as “Christian Reconstruction.” (See Julie Ingersoll’s book "Building God's Kingdom: Inside the World of Christian Reconstructionism,” and a Salon interview.) 

Another important influence was onetime evangelical bishop Earl Paulk, who “popularized a teaching that is called ‘kingdom now,’” Gagné said, which claimed that “Christ in us must take dominion over the earth.... The next move of God cannot occur until Christ in us takes dominion.” 

It’s worth noting here that the dominionist belief in dramatically expanding Christians’ power over the secular world is inherently in conflict with previously more popular evangelical beliefs that the sinful world should be left behind, as reflected in the popular “Left Behind” novel series. In contrast, Gagné said, “Wagner had a view which is called ‘victorious eschatology,” where he links that idea to dominion theology.” He quotes Wagner saying, “We no longer accept the idea that society will get worse and worse, because we now believe God’s mandate is to transform society, so it gets better and better.”

Moe Bandy Celebrates 40th Anniversary Of “Let’s Get Over Them Together” With Becky Hobbs

Award-winning country music legend, Moe Bandy is celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Top 10 duet with Becky Hobbs, “Let’s Get Over Them Together.” Written by Charlie Craig and Keith Stegall, “Let’s Get Over Them Together” became Bandy’s 16th Top 10 hit and continues to be a fan favorite. Bandy was recently inducted into the Class of 2023 of The Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame along with The Texas Ranger Division of the Department of Public Safety, San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, Cleo Hearn, and Boots O’Neal. Bandy, was a proud competitor in bull riding prior to pursuing country music full-time. He now joins the ranks of Willie Nelson, George Strait, Red Steagall, Lyle Lovett, Clay Walker, Robert Earl Keen, Aaron Watson, and Bob Wills who have all received this prestigious honor. “This was such an exciting time in my life and career that I will never forget,” shares Bandy. “I was on the road and recording nonstop, which is what I had always dreamed of. When I heard Becky Hobbs for the first time, I knew she was destined for great things! When we went into the studio and recorded “Let’s Get Over Them Together,” it was clear this would be a single. We had a great run with it and hope you are still enjoying it today!” “I met Moe when I opened for him at the Coffeyville, Kansas Fair & Rodeo,” shares Becky Hobbs. “After the show, he was very complimentary and said, “If you had a hit record, you’d be dangerous!” He asked me if I’d be interested in doing a duet, and the rest is history. Moe is genuinely one of the nicest people on the planet, a heckuva singer/entertainer, and a forever friend.” Bandy recently released his new album, ‘Thank You Lord.’ Delivering a heartfelt project, Bandy recorded twelve heartfelt tracks and features special guests The Isaacs on “Family Bible” and The Oak Ridge Boys with Nora Lee Allen on “The Lord Is My Shepherd.” The title track, written by Mo Pitney, Bobby Tomberlin, and Cheryl Riddle offers a true reflection of where Bandy is in his life today, of which he is thankful for another mile, another day, and a life many could have only dreamed of. ‘Thank You Lord’ features tunes from prominent Nashville songwriters including Willie Nelson, Bill Anderson, Hank Williams, and more! The twelve-track project was produced by Michele Voan Capps and sponsored by Gus Arrendale and Springer Mountain Farms and is available on all streaming platforms now! To stream or purchase, visit HERE. “We all try to live life to the fullest and with purpose,” shares Bandy. “When you get to a certain place in your life, you reflect on your past. We have all made mistakes and decisions that we may regret, but you have to look at the positives. God has been so good to me. He has given my family blessings that I never dreamed were even possible. I am so thankful to Him and wanted this album to fully reflect my faith in God. A special thanks to Gus Arrendale and Springer Mountain Farms for their continued support and for making this album a reality.” For further information, visit HERE. ‘Thank You Lord’ Track Listing: Thank You Lord (Bobby Tomberlin, Mo Pitney, Cheryl Riddle) Family Bible ft.

Martha Colette Chandler, known as Colette, passed away to be with Jesus on July 7, 2022 at Northside Gwinnett Medical Center.

She was born and raised in Amory, Mississippi, a small railroad town, to Clarence Earl Jaudon, Sr. and Ada Lou Smith. Colette graduated from Amory High School in 1945 and then attended Bob Jones University. Upon completing her education, she moved to Birmingham, Alabama to begin a work career. Soon after, Colette relocated to Memphis, Tennessee to work as an administrative assistant with Chicago & Southern Airlines, where she also met her future husband Ceward Lebron Chandler. Colette and her husband moved two more times for his career to Bayshore, Long Island, New York and then to College Park, Georgia. During these years Colette became a mother to Celeste Kay and Carol Alaine Chandler.

Colette was a devout Christian and active in her church and many ladies Bible studies. She was a woman of God’s word and lived out her faith daily. She was also a member of PEO, an educational scholarship organization for young women around the world.

While raising her daughters, Colette worked as a licensed real estate agent, substitute classroom teacher and administrative assistant. She also managed to make time as a hospital volunteer in the communities in which she lived.

In addition to a work life, Colette was a woman of so many talents. She was a musician (piano and flute), artist, gardener, caterer, and home decorator. Everything Colette did was beautiful and reflected her love of God, life, people and nature.
