Such great tallent and such a douchebag.

@dwinkle99 Why is he a douche bag? He's one of the few famous musicians I find that does not pander to their own celebrity, he may be awkward but he can take that awkwardness and turn it into a damn good song.

Art, skill and poetry caught on camera. As always another superb performance from Ryan. Top upload and many thanks for it.

Born and raised in jacksonville nc, he is singing about a street called hotel street in that had bars, tattoo parlors, and strip clubs, aimed for all the soliders from the huge military base in this town I'm a apprentice in this town and its amazing to hear about the legends that have tattooed in this town, business is booming, the hotels on hotel street were for marines who would have too much to drink and needed a place to stay, they closed the place down in order to clean up the town

Ein frühes Meisterwerk welches ich bisher noch nicht kannte -

"I ended up a soldier on the weekend

looking for a vacancy I wasn't able to find

somewhere the night sky hangs like a blanket

shoot it with my capgun just to make it seem like stars"

--------- Just beautiful!

@mimisixtyfour Das denke ich auch. Echt schoen!

Raising the roof and breaking down the fourth wall... Only JS could do it. Splendid.

[gr81dorn]

RA revisiting Whiskeytown days is the best thing ever.

From the first note he sings. He kills it. Thanks for his buddy!
