Cody Johnson - Leather
So today on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would like to talk about the latest album from Cody Johnson. The new album is titled "Leather" and was on Friday November 3rd, 2023. But before we dive into the new 12 track project, let's talk about Cody's Career for a little bit first up next.
Some of the biggest hits of Cody's career are songs like "'til you can't", "Human", & "On my way to you". Other hits include songs like "Nothin' on you", "Dear rodeo" with Reba McEntire, & "Ain't nothin' to it". Let's jump back o track before we go too far off topic. Here is the highlights of the album up next.
Cody had co-writting help from Hardy (Michael Hardy), & Devin Dawson on this new CD. His current single from the project is "The painter", & "Leather" is the title track as well. Other songs you should check out are "Work boots", "Double down" is a slight tribute to George Strait and his Ace in the Hole band, & "Watching my old flame go out". Kind of the stand out tracks in my opinion are "Dirt cheap", "Whiskey bent" featuring Jelly Roll, & "Long live Country Music" featuring Brooks & Dunn. Antther highlight of the album is "That's Texas", and here is the track list up next.
Track list.
Work boots.
Double down.
Watching my old flame go out.
That's Texas.
Dirt cheap.
Jesus loves you.
Whiskey bent (Featuring Jelly Roll).
Leather.
People in the back.
Long live Country music (Featuring Brooks & Dunn).
The painter.
Make me a mop.
And that's a wrap for the track list. And on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would give this new CD a 4.5 out of 5 stars. For a 12 track album, there were a lot of songs that stood out for me. So if you are Cody Johnson fan or a CoJo Fan, you will enjoy this new project. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. See ya all next time.

Dear BOYS LIKE GIRLS 16th Anniversary Tour 2022,
I'd like to pretend I'm sorry for making this letter so long, but in all honesty I'm not. This is in fact a swoon letter.
If I could pick any day, I sure wouldn't go with Halloween, but beggars can't be choosers. (Note: in the real world, that's total bs cause you should be able to have choices in life.) Anyway skip the fact that you were on a holiday, the future that proceeded to take place after this show tells me that it should be Boys Like Girls and me in October for life!
I know I've told this story a million and one times, so why not a million and two because it makes the show even more special knowing the road it took to get there. As some of y'all know, I've loved this album for many years and when BLG did their 10 year Anniversary for it I couldn't go because I was scheduled to have spine surgery the next day. I mean I could have went but that just sounds like terrible pre-surgery practice, so I really COULD NOT go. Instead I was just bummed for 6 years, you know until I was re-gifted the gift I wasn't supposed to have in the first place cause they weren't even originally coming to my city. For 6 years I said if I ever got another chance to I'd go and buy VIP just to tell the band this story.
When you were announced I bought tickets the moment pre-sale would allow because I wasn't going to leave anything to chance. I wasn't going to wait around for potential friends or to see if my PTO that's never been denied before would be approved. Again no chances. That being said I passed on the VIP cause I can rarely justify paying to meet humans, outside of the concert ticket itself. That I left to chance even though it was the one time I said I wouldn't.
On the side, my friend invited me to see Lizzo that same night with a bunch of other folks from work and although I get mad FOMO, I passed for a solo adventure that spoiler, turned out to be one of the best concerts of my life. Sorry... not sorry.
Instead of a costume cause I don't do Halloween, I themed my fit to be "Elder Emo." Which was really just me pulling things out of my closet, you know my Warped Tour 2010 shirt, black overalls I've worn to several shows and a tie-die bandana to match Martin's bandana fits of the moment. So dressed for the occasion and Popeye's chicken sandwich in tow, I showed up early like I always do. Thinking I was late, I ended up being the first person in line. I promise you it is all pure coincidence and life feeding into the bit that I'm never on time for anything but a concert.
Eventually came the New York fan-guys who had seen BLG many times over the years and ended up being pretty nice line mates, so alone didn't last forever. I'm also fans of other adults who will continue to do "silly" things like this while their bodies allows. (Respectfully though.)
Next, and this is where dreams come true, you brought Martin (the lead singer for those who don't know) out and I got to tell him the surgery story and take pictures with him. That would have been enough for me, but he proceeded to ask if me and the other few people in line (like 5 of us or something) had VIP? We said no and that we were just there early. Martin then upgrades all of our tickets and I get VIP anyway. Like what are the odds? Super nice! The dreams just kept getting fulfilled and I was so grateful.
I got soundcheck with songs that weren't apart of the set list and more opportunities to tell my life stories. I ended up telling the rest of the band the surgery story during the official meet and greet. Johnny (the drummer) had also had I believe a major spine surgery before, so we got to talk shop a little bit which was cool. I felt immensely awkward, but still had my cup filled. The evidence for this next part is written somewhere on this blog, but trust me I'm telling the truth, I also told the boys that I Limewired my first copy of the self-titled album and Martin then proceeded to make that story a bit in the show. (Future says he continues to use my story to this day and I will maintain that it is based off my story. LET ME HAVE THIS!)
Bury Mia, a local band, opened the official part of the night and I'm just sorry I'm wring this so late cause I never got to tell them how good they were. The heavier cover of Wonderwall was a standout, one because I knew that one (outside of a little of their songs Satellite and Peanut Butter) and two because it wasn't done acoustically by some dude in the quad. I didn't know much of them at the time, however in the last few years I've added several of their songs to different playlists and I'm glad I can say I saw them there first. Hopefully I'll get to see them again one day.
I wanted to pass out in the middle of the show cause I'm old and the body doesn't always want to hang. But who cares about sleep when what it's replacing is so much better. Boys Like Girls was absolutely fantastic and put on one of the best shows I've ever been to. I'm just saying the joy I felt hearing those songs live and being in that crowd, was immense. I don't have a car but I need a bumper sticker that says I'd rather be at a Boys Like Girls show, because why would I not want to relive this night over and over again.
Videos may take up a large chunk of space on our phones, but my little clips where I can clearly hear myself, are everything to me. I don't have a clip of it but this is where I heard The Outside for the first time and I do remember it being great then too. They didn't play the entire album, which is whatever, I got my Hero/Heroin and Heels Over Head, the expected stuff and some new faves though, so I wasn't too pressed. And again the overall show was just so good that looking back now the salt that I might of had was nothing but flavor.
There was candy thrown, I think by Bury Mia and Johnny's drums were covered in webs and Chucky faces, but other than that I it didn't feel like a Halloween show. BLG's all started in masks and quickly ditched them cause they couldn't be bothered with them after like one, maybe 2 songs. I would have been chill with it either way, however I'm not gonna say that I didn't prefer the show with them off.
Bands are stepping up their encore games and Boys Like Girls did it RIGHT! They didn't fake us out. They didn't play 45 seconds of their biggest track and move on. They acknowledged what time it was, played the hit song and handed out the set lists themselves. Perfection! My only critique and it's not even a full critique, is the whole "put your phones away for the encore" bit. It's really only here because they talk about going back to 2004 or '06 or whenever phones weren't out at shows and wanting everyone to "live in the moment" and all the ish. I can get behind a phone free concert moment just wish it didn't also feel like a slight judging moment on top of it. To be clear though it was mainly a small phrasing thing and didn't sour the night whatsoever.
Before the night ended you gave me one more gift and that was to catch Johnny's drumstick, which is why I didn't get to say hi to Bury Mia before they packed up. Like a true cherry on top of an already wonderful night.
The night just gave and gave and will go down as a top 10, top 5 show of my lifetime. Maybe I'm just old and sentimental, regardless though anniversary tours and what comes with them get me every time. PS: This was the same venue I saw The Used preform In Love In Death back in 2015, so again GIVING!
I-Love-You-So-Much-Take-Me-Back,
Jai (Akwardly Uncool/FreshJai)

The NCAA will grant any Virginia football player whose college eligibility expired this past season an extra year to play, a response to the shooting on Grounds that killed three teammates, UVa athletic director Carla Williams confirmed Wednesday.
Virginia initiated and submitted the request, she said.
The decision from the NCAA comes in the aftermath of last month’s tragic shooting on Grounds…

This is among the most damning testimony I've ever seen.
"Everyone involved knew they were sharing lies. From Trump and Giulani's shadow diplomacy, to my missions to Ukraine and elsewhere [...] everything was for the ultimate benefit of Donald Trump and, thereby, Vladimir Putin."
"Congressman Pete Sessions, then Congressman Devin Nunes, Senator Ron Johnson, and many others understood they were pushing a false narrative. The same goes for John Solomon, Sean Hannity, and media personnel, particularly at Fox News, who used this narrative to manipulate the public ahead of the 2020 elections. Sadly, they are still doing this today as we approach the 2024 elections."
Republicans work for Putin.
