I know what you mean Lo. I did an overnight in a multistorey motel on a highway in Fort Worth. The tiny bloodstains on the bathroom tiles matched the deep red of the 80s drapes (it was 2011). Being kicked out of Billy Bob’s at closing later that night - sober - with no help from the barstaff to call a taxi - and walking about 2kms to a Whataburger past midnight - was the perfect end to the experience. In Texas or not, those times are a foray into a parallel universe you’ll never forget.
Yeah there's an odd, barren vibe in Dallas, with an undercurrent of danger! I'm sure there's great parts when you know where to go and I know there's a thriving arts scene there but I was just counting wasted minutes and stranger's pubic hairs in my Rubik's Cube bathroom...
Haha, now there’s a visual! It may have been Dallas I stayed in not FW - I remember multiple highway lanes and a longish taxi ride to Billy Bob’s. But heck, if you’re gonna do noir, it’s gonna be Bigger in Texas, right? Glad you’re all back home in one piece.
Oh, fun and relaxation in Dallas. I’m having a small bump (nothing serious) of new subscribers from Australia, and I don’t even have a song streaming there.😎
Yes good luck and loved Chris Bailey ..he would often advise me on song writing ..just make sure it’s got a good beginning and end fuck the middle ..don’t bore us get to the chorus x
I love 'Sometimes It's Hard' :-)

You'll have to come on the surreal tour with me x

Love that! Yeah Chris was the sweetest, coolest dude. He was very much part of our family. Went way too young.
safe travels !
Thanks Lori!
I love Australia, have been to Syndey and NSW. Have a wonderful time!
