Bro Country Breaks Up


Florida Georgia Line bro country fusion band breaks up after 12 years. "Cruise" is their most iconic hit song.

The era of bros singing happy party songs is over. Now is the era of boyfriend country--solo artists elevating the girlfriend to religious status in sad ballads. Like "Die A Happy Man" by Thomas Rhett.

FGL's biggest criticism is they collaborated with other genres. Not real country. That's why they were so successful.

Remember the Eagles? When asked if they were country or rock, they answered YES. They appealed to two audiences, country & rock fans. Fusion is how you become ultra popular.

Have Faith in Love

Faith The final frontier  These are the adventures  Of a romantic love affair Whose destiny is to spread love Throughout the universe Faith That your love is sincere Your touch is real Your gaze is honest and true Your love game is not fake Have faith in me When I'm not with you Have faith  I'm thinking only of you Longing for your arms only Have faith in me  Like I have faith in you  I just feel that your love is real  I can't prove it  Don't want to lose it  Have faith in me I have faith in you Trust my love Like I trust you Have faith in love. UPDATE My boyfriend was feeling insecure he could never write like me. Wait a minute. I'm looking for a lover, not a writer. Besides he reads all these posts out loud to me & lots of other stuff. Without writers there would be nothing to read. Without bottoms there would be no tops. I'm lucky to have someone who's not overwhelmed by my passions. So we went for a walk. I took the new pic. Wow! Yeah I'm...

What Lonely Feels Like

Image
Every cup of coffee I consume Here alone in this quiet room Every memory I recall Your picture is on the wall Is this what lonely feels like? Looking out the window Every car drives on by I wonder / Is it you? I miss my old guitar Is this what lonely feels like? This is a new love song But I won't know how it sounds Until I write the music For these heart-felt lyrics  Is this what lonely feels like? Every cup of coffee I consume Here alone in this quiet room I hope I have a new guitar Next time you're at my door  Is this what lonely feels like? I remember every memory What it's like to be lonely The good times I recall Your picture on the wall Should I try to forget? Is this what lonely feels like? I wrote a new love song For my lonely heart To keep me company While we are apart Every cup of coffee I consume Alone in this quiet room Missing my old guitar I wonder where you are I can't wait to play it Is this what lonely feels like? Every memory I recall Your picture on ...

Star date on star base (ep. 5)

The hall is freezing cold, inappropriate for boxers & Tshirt. But the command deck feels like a sauna. I have better orientation now.  I see the camera bubble in the far right-hand corner. In the adjacent corner are two sexy men in white track pants & tanks. Barefoot. Wearing goggles.  They appear to be gaming as they face a sensor panel. The game sounds are as loud as the bowling alley video was. I don't see the captain anywhere. I scan the deck 360. I don't see him. Lieutenant motions that I follow him to the conference table near the big screen. We sit down in chairs so we face away from the camera. Lieutenant hands me a micro smart screen. I look down at a photo of Jacob beside a photo of the captain. I quickly look closer. They each have stats & zooms. Shocked I am! I look up at the lieutenant but don't say anything. How easy was that? Search Jacob in high school yearbooks & match the captain's description. I look back down. I tap Jacob to full scre...
