Yeah, Another Post About the Awesomeness of DBT

Splurged on CD last night. One I've wanted for a while, well, since it was released. The Drive By Truckers "A Blessing and A Curse". If you haven't listened to them yet, you really ought to. Yeah, someone might try to classify it on ya and make it to where you might not want to listen to it. I've heard them called alt country, alternative, adult alternative, Southern rock, rock - think of something you'd call a band from the south that has twang mixed with the sound pouring from a flying V and you get the picture. All you need to know is they produce great fucking music. Bar none. They've got to be one of the best bands to come out in a helluva' long time.

Anyways, after dropping the girl off, I was listening to a song Patterson Hood wrote called "World of Pain". In it was this lyric/chunk of philosophy:

"To love is to feel pain" there ain't no way around it
The very nature of love is to grieve when it is over
The secret to a happy ending is knowing when to role the credits
Better role them now before something else goes wrong
No, it's a wonderful world, if you can put aside the sadness
And hang on to every ounce of beauty upon you
Better take the time to know it there ain't no way around it
If you feel anything at all
