Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

I might poke fun but I really enjoyed living in redneck rural areas. Really hope the next year or two sees me into another. This hokey suburb is demoralizing. I hear the freeway 24/7 not to mention neighbors and their dogs/turkeys.(Really thought one would disappear around Thanxgiving, I think they didn't have the stones.)
After working out with taped up silverware, I like to eat my spaghetti in the tub. Hopefully Momma buys me a nice chocolate bar for dessert.
I hear ya. Too much concrete makes me nervous. It's a trip living where I am now as there are rednecks of all colors here. I seriously thought of buying a camera and filming the day to day activities of the locals here. The catalyst was driving back to my girlfriend's house and the black redneck family with rebel flags and jacked up trucks were trying to mount a tire with a sledgehammer by repeatedly beating on the sidewall with all their might. I actually had to stop in the middle of the road because I was laughing so hard I could no longer drive. She kept saying drive Joe, drive don't be stopped still in front of their house laughing at our neighbors. Good times. And the special language that the local watermen use is absurd to new levels and I thought Northeastern PA slang was funny, we had nothing on these fellers.
Pacifier left in frame so I retain my street cred.
I hope you dig it. I see that Moxee, WA is a bit outside Yakima. My wife's people are spread across the eastern slope of the Cascades from Central OR up through Southeast WA. Many holidays and family trips have taken me to Bend OR, Tri-Cities, Yakima, Walla Walla, and Lake Chelan WA. My father-in-law is retired and is set up in his cabin/grandkid-wonderland/apocalypse compound up in the Blue Mountains past Dayton. I won't be traveling up there this winter, but I'm glad a little piece of me made it up that way.
Also: seeing Kadavar on Saturday. Last gig this year, here's hoping it won't suck!
They kinda stole the show sandwiched between All Them Witches and The Sword here in AZ back in October. I was skeptical going in, given that they work the whole seventies retro image REALLLY hard, but they flat out rocked it, I can't lie. I hope its a good time.
I cannot tell a lie, it was the retro looks, sounds, and album covers that drew me over to the genre. I was stoked to find people still playing RAWK. Now my tastes have delved me deeper in the genre's branches, but I still like to spin some retro RAWK bands from time to time.
I totally dig it, the track called "If you were my woman you'd have a human baby" is amazing.
I've lived all over the PNW / North Cali but I'm from Yakima originally, I now live in the suburbs in Moxee but work in Yakima. I used to commute from Wenatchee to Yakima to Pasco, don't miss those days.
Black rednecks are so strange.
Yesterday I saw couple guys in a beat up Tacoma blasting Dio era sabbath.
Up the road there's a family that dresses like they are the human form of the country bear jamboree. Only they breed stray cats so there's always like 10 in the road as you try to pass, forcing you to drive slow and stare at them. One of them is "special" and also only has 1.5 legs and is always wandering amongst the cats in the yard on a knee and a stump.
See this would be an awesome new documentary or mockumentary. RaeRaebel Yell, the rise of the blackneck culture, hosted by J to the R O C of course.
The led color matches your bass, you little accessorizor you. She's a Beaut, Julian!
