#Nashville TN

[muffin-n-waffle]

Please continue to share all you can about this! I think some bigger news outlets are finally covering it, but not nearly as much as they should. Us Tennesseans are trying to do all we can to fight this, among other things, but the more voices on this, the better.

Use this email prompt, and send them to the listed TN Reps if you have a quick second! The voting for this is supposed to take place tomorrow on April 6th around 9 AM Nashville time, I believe.

Rest in peace, Patrick Haggerty, it was a blessing to have met you. Haggerty was a country singer and queer activist, whose 1973 album Lavender Country is widely considered to be the first openly queer country album ever made. I originally became hip to Patrick through his 2016 StoryCorps short called “The Saint of Dry Creek”, a Sundance Film Festival selection that tells the story of being young and gay in rural america, and his father, a dairy farmer, who impressed upon him the beauty in being true to yourself.

“‘Look, everybody knows I’m a dairy farmer. This is who I am.’ And he looked me square in the eye. And then he said, ‘Now, how bout you? When you’re a full-grown man, who are you gonna go out with at night?’ And I said, ‘I don’t know.’ And he said, ‘I think you do know. Now, I’m gonna tell you something today, and you might not know what to think of it now, but you’re gonna remember when you’re an adult. Don’t sneak. Because if you sneak, it means you think you’re doing the wrong thing. And if you run around spending your whole life thinking that you’re doing the wrong thing, then you’ll ruin your immortal soul.’  And out of all the things a father in 1959 could have told his gay son, my father tells me to be proud of myself and not sneak. My reaction at the time was to get out in the hay field and pretend like I was as much of a man as I could be. And I remember flipping 50-pound bales three feet up into the air going, ”I’m not a queer. What’s he talking about?” But he knew where I was headed. And he, he knew that humiliating me and making me feel bad about it in any way was the wrong thing to do. I had the patron saint of dads for sissies, and no, I didn’t know at the time, but I know it now.” - Patrick Haggerty/Lavender Country

Patrick boldly made music that I know not only touched the lives of many of us, but provided a sense of comfort, confidence, and the power of feeling seen to his queer audience. He spent his life doing the opposite of sneaking, and left us with his art and spirit.

‼️‼️ UPDATE ON THE SITUATION GOING ON IN TENNESSEE ‼️‼️

They have successfully expelled Representative Justin Jones (AKA Brother Jones) of the Tennessee Three from his seat in the TN House of Representatives with a 72-25 majority vote. It was not a fair process. This entire situation isn't fair and was never meant to be.

A motion to adjourn until Monday was made by another Rep. who supports the Tennessee Three immediately after the expulsion vote. That was shot down with another majority vote. They have now moved on to the expulsion of Rep. Gloria Johnson.

The TN House GOP is truly about to fuck around and find out. This will not end well for them.

The people are sick of the excuses.

The people are tired of their children and members of their community dying.

The people are fed up with Tennessee legislators ignoring their pleas and doing nothing to help them.

As Brother Jones stated during his testimony, the people are sick and tired of being sick and tired.

I am 100% positive that Nashville doesn’t have 800 acres of land lying around 🙄

Dale at my favorite bar in Nashville the Wildhorse Saloon. The same bar that Luke Combs bought and will soon change. The same bar I went to as a teen from 2005 to 2009 and made so many friends and learned so many line dances and met many amazing musicians. I will miss that place so much. I will always live on the good times I had when I was there.

Please spread this around! We’re fighting so hard in TN for so many different things, and a lot of major news outlets are not covering this at all.

It’s easy to write off the south, but there are plenty of us here that don’t deserve to burn.

I performed the title track from my album Ghost Town at an open mic at the Bluebird Cafe recently (still can't really believe that actually happened - what an exciting time!!!), and since it was officially the second time I'd ever performed any of my own original songs in front of people I wanted to capture that moment forever - so "Ghost Town (Live from the Bluebird Cafe)" is out on my YouTube channel now!!! ✨ Watch it here!
