Horizon: An American Saga
The first part of Horizon: An American Saga lands in theaters on June 28, 2024, the second on August 16, 2024, so at least we won't have long to wait. I'm curious how this will go over with audiences. If it's as good as it looks and reviews well, it might be a one-two punch that really boosts this year's box office.
What is the new Western series with Kevin Costner?
Horizon: An American Saga: Everything We Know About Kevin ...
For Kevin Costner, it's an epic western film franchise titled Horizon: An American Saga—which he hopes will rival the success of his other cowboy drama, Yellowstone. Financing most of the marketing and distribution himself, Costner will release Horizon through Warner Bros. on June 28, 2024.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
This is a new track made by modern tech for an older star. For those that don’t know Randy Travis, he had a massive stroke a few years back that robbed him of his voice. A voice that made me like country music for a spell. I still think Randy had one of the most unique voices in music. The stroke took away a songbird's gift. Ai has restored it. At least as well as can be expected by modern times. Randy worked with the tech geniuses, music producers, and another singer to create this track in his iconic voice.
This is the story behind the song…
Many, including I said Randy saved country. He stayed true to the genre.
It always goes back to where it belongs.
If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.
There is a quote from Jimi Hendrix to the effect that he believed that Terry Kath was a better guitar player..
I guess that video could be used as exhibit #1. I have seen it before. It is exceptional..
Kath was a fantastic player. Much underappreciated player by those who don't know. Jimmy knew.
I posted something similar some years ago. Chicago was a trend setting band. They may have become a ballad band, but they could rock out, including a horn section.
Very innovative and cool..

What a fretting hand on this girl, those long lean fingers are amazing. I can't believe those triple pulloffs. She has a lot of videos on YT, these shorts are the best. I could watch this over and over.

The Black Crowes dropped an album in March that I’m just now catching onto. I loved the Crowes back in the 90’s. Their southern rock edge harkening back to the 70’s drew me in. I caught them live a handful of times from 92-97 or so. They never disappointed. They could all play relentlessly and Chris was/is a great lead man. He had stage presence and vocal range to back it up. This new album shows he still has it. The album sounds like the Black Crowes. Straight up southern rock and roll. The opening track of the album is so good. I love the tempo drop and vocals around the 2:30 mark.
This is an actual video the band produced for another classic sounding Crowes track. Chris looks his age… but don’t we all. Thankfully he sounds as young and powerful as ever.
Today, I’m diving deep into “Frontier Psychiatrist” by The Avalanches, a music video that’s not just a piece of entertainment but a guiding star for me and my grandpappy. Buckle up, because this video is like nothing you’ve ever seen!
First off, let’s talk about the opening scene. We’ve got this old-timey doctor who looks like he stepped out of a Wild West medicine show. He’s got a stethoscope and a notepad, but he’s diagnosing with the kind of flair you’d expect from a snake oil salesman. It’s immediately clear we’re in for a wild ride.
Then, the song kicks in with this crazy collage of samples – everything from old radio shows to bizarre sound effects. It’s like they took a blender, threw in a bunch of vinyl records, and hit puree. The video mirrors this chaos perfectly, with rapid-fire cuts between a cast of characters that look like they escaped from a circus. We’ve got mimes, ventriloquist dummies, and even a guy in a gorilla suit. It’s like a fever dream, but the kind you don’t want to wake up from because it’s just too entertaining.
The chorus features a parrot squawking “That boy needs therapy!” and if that isn’t the catchiest diagnosis I’ve ever heard, I don’t know what is. The parrot is a star, let me tell ya. It’s not every day you see a bird giving psychiatric advice, but here we are.
Next, let’s talk about the costuming. It’s like they raided a thrift store run by Salvador Dalí. The characters wear a mix of Victorian garb, circus attire, and just plain bizarre outfits that defy description. There’s a cowboy psychiatrist, a woman dressed as a nurse but with a twist, and a guy who looks like he’s ready for a masquerade ball. Each outfit adds another layer of surrealism to the already bonkers visuals.
The visual effects are another standout. We’ve got split screens, kaleidoscopic effects, and animations that pop up out of nowhere. It’s like a psychedelic trip without the side effects. The editing is frenetic, matching the tempo of the song, which makes the whole experience feel like a rollercoaster ride through a funhouse.
One of the most memorable scenes features a ventriloquist dummy who looks like he’s just been told he’s the next in line for a brain transplant. His lifeless eyes and creepy smile are pure nightmare fuel, but you can’t look away. It’s bizarre, it’s unsettling, and it’s absolutely brilliant.
The lyrics themselves are a smorgasbord of random phrases and non-sequiturs, stitched together in a way that makes you question your own sanity. Lines like “Can you think of anything that talks, other than a person?” and “He was white as a sheet” are delivered with deadpan seriousness, adding to the surreal atmosphere.
By the time the video ends, you feel like you’ve been on a wild ride through a bizarre carnival of the mind. It’s a sensory overload, but in the best possible way. “Frontier Psychiatrist” is a masterpiece of absurdity, a celebration of the weird and wonderful, and a reminder that sometimes, the best therapy is a good dose of the bizarre.
But here’s where it gets personal. This video isn’t just a piece of entertainment for me – it’s foundational to my personal philosophy. My grandpappy, Old Rusty Ralph, took it very seriously and made it his guiding star in life. He believed that life should be approached with a mix of humor, absurdity, and an appreciation for the surreal. “Frontier Psychiatrist” encapsulates all of that. It’s a reminder that the world is a strange place, and sometimes the best way to make sense of it is to embrace the madness and dance along to the beat of your own drum.
Grandpappy used to sit me down and say, “Randy, if you ever lose your way in life, just remember that boy needs therapy!” He’d play this video on repeat, claiming it held the secrets to the universe.
