The Metaxy

I’ll tell ya, friends: Few things in life are as profound as a strong sense of place. Nothing compares to possessing intimate knowledge of a specific spot on this Earth, a piece of the world that is yours, which belongs to you and, deeper still, to which you belong. Who I am was formed here, in the land of the saguaro. Here is my territory. Here is my country. Here is my patria.

Palo verde blossoms bring out the gold in the saguaro

@growapair66 @ArtJenkins87593 @_6signxxx Go join the other retard in the corner.

@LifeInTheMetaxy @ArtJenkins87593 @_6signxxx Evidently you could read it . So what are you cry’s about . This isn’t a college exam it’s the internet .

I need people to realize that rock is a Black genre. It’s roots are deeply tied to the innovations of Black artists like Chuck Berry, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and Little Richard. Its not about "joining" the genre, it is about reclaiming a legacy that was whitewashed.

@ArtJenkins87593 @growapair66 @_6signxxx "Proofread before you post something"--yes, but have you ever heard of punctuation? Can you even pass the mirror test?

@growapair66 @_6signxxx You might want to proofread before you post something second of all we don't have to ride the coattails or backs of anyone whether you acknowledge it or not rock and roll is based in the Blues metal metal is a separate genre altogether but the roots are the blues

@AliAmongFlowers Even before sunup, which this was

@CowboyGospeler That was called "The Hub" (of the 60 & 260). I have a recording of my mother talking to her sister all about how the town was finally getting its first traffic signal.

I miss those span-wire signals, most in California have been replaced by ugly rigid mast-arm poles.

@bandy1803 About 1,000-1,500 when I lived there. Barely recognizable today, sadly.

We used to be a proper country.

Now I have "Beware of Young Girls" stuck in my head

@natecooley Is Megargee in your Top 10?

@LifeInTheMetaxy Love it!

Well I went & done it

@FLBogjig It is The Stuff

@LifeInTheMetaxy That's what I'm talking about

@JautryTX I'm a little surprised that no one since October who saw that didn't buy it.

@LifeInTheMetaxy Perfect

@Gusagain16 I figure, even a Megargee homage is a good thing

@LifeInTheMetaxy Thats Nice!

“Hey, it’s good…”

You must have that true religion True religion & your soul converted Then you must have that true religion Hallelu Hallelu

Chased this young diamondback (just getting going on its buttons) off the trail so as not to get run over. Only the 4th day of Spring, my 1st Spring day back on my desert, & I’ve now seen as many rattlers as I did all last Summer. I’ll see what the rodent traps say come morning.

@Hesycrashed Mine lost me money but gained me lots of friends
