    Jason is one of the classiest poets, musicians on the planet...even garnered more class leaving the CMA When they didn’t recognize John Prine and his Music after he died....Jason and wife are pure Class.

    Man, I can’t stand you sometimes Jason, you don’t know me, but you can put words to my life when I’m living it and I can’t. Sometimes I just want to scream your lyrics from the top of my lungs, but I’d just be stealing them from you. Maybe part of life is realizing your unique and special existence is not so unique or special after all, but the special part is when you find you’re not alone. Castles made of sand.....beautiful but fragile. Damn you

The crawler asks the sitter if he has a cold Schlitz and the guy says no but here’s this water. Blacks out and then returns to crawler leaving the shack, on all fours still, and sitter shaking his head, as crawler has clearly not taken a drink of water but is apparently a purist who’ll settle for nothing less than that cold malt liquor...hilarious 🤣
