Do you remember
Back in nineteen sixty-six?
Country Jesus, hillbilly blues,
That's where I learned my licks.
Oh, from coast to coast and line to line
In every county there,
I'm talkin' 'bout that outlaw X
Is cuttin' through the air.
Anywhere, y'all,
Everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the X.
We can all thank Doctor be
Who stepped across the line.
With lots of watts he took control,
The first one of its kind.
So listen to your radio
Most each and every night
'cause if you don't I'm sure you won't
Get to feeling right.
Anywhere, y'all,
Everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, I heard it,
I heard it on the X.

Get to feeling right.

Everywhere, y'all,
I heard it, I heard it,

Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
I heard Billy Gibbons talking about this song.. on Storytellers I believe, where he made mention of WHAS out of Chicago. This stirred in me because my own influence came from listening to this station and an even less mention WLSD out of Louisville. For me it was early seventies. I'd sit in my driveway in the suburbs of Detroit with the top down on my ready to be retired '64 Bonneville convertible. There was a lot of heavy blues bouncing off the air waves late at night from AM stations playing 'outlaw music' long before FM got the hold it has today. There was a strange effect at night where (these stations in particular) could be heard across the continent. (Check out WHAS on Wikipedia)
A tribute to pirate radio and wolfman jack
Those of you that live near the Mexican border will know what this song is about. All Mexican radio stations have an X in their call letters. These stations were not restricted as to how many watts they could transmit. They used to bleed onto US stations and override them .
Yah, I think it may have been XERA. Late at night. In the Texas prairie.
What else is there?
The X was a 100,000 watt AM radio station that could be heard all over the country in the 60s and 70s after sunset.
Wolfman Jack did his show on that station.
According to Wikipedia the station was XERB.
