In The Three Great Alabama Icons DBT mentions Merle Haggard writing Okie from Muskogee to "tell his dad's point of view" and I've always kinda taken that as read. But today I had reason to look it up and in a cursory glance I can't find where Merle has said that, certainly not around the time of writing. Seems like he was mostly speaking from the heart. So does anyone know where they got that from?

Hi, intp here.. So Ti hero Te nemesis (this is relevant to the topic of the post) Does anyone know how I can overcome or improve an ingrained emotional/mental problem I have? Also sorry for the long post, but this is important, I really need help overcoming this.

I seem to have some sort of inferiority complex when it comes to my intellect. I can't determine if I am a smart or dumb person and my self-worth is pretty much strongly tied to my intelligence. I don't think I'm that smart. My parents think I'm dumb, or at least my father did because I dissociated for much of my childhood (Se trickster, I guess?) I disassociated and didn't pay attention in school AT ALL. Also I wasn't allowed to take science for religious reasons. I managed to completely repressed that I didnt take science until I read about it in some IEP paperwork I found. Same with a former therapist I had who I don't think was very smart and she had Ti trickster.

So basically at my core I think I'm a dumb person (except at typology I believe I'm good at that even though most would disagree. Also I am pretty fixed on my spiritual beliefs) and this belief is somewhat subconscious. Most of the time without thinking I will comment on posts with my opinions as a way to feel smart and I will get offended if someone doesn't seem to agree (this also seems to happen with beliefs? Like if someone doesn't share my spiritual beliefs, is open to my beliefs, or if I think they have dumb spiritual or religious beliefs, this is something I also need to work on) Also I have these grandiose rambles throughout the day in my head, usually done subconsciously where I am literally imagining myself explaining my thoughts processes and beliefs to say friends who don't share an opinion or belief with me and in my mind I am like coming up with evidence and points for why I am right. I am literally not aware that I do this but I do it many times a day when I am taking a break from something. I realized that I seem to feel a sense of pride when I'm doing it which is why I guess I keep doing it subconsciously. Doesnt help that growing up my isfp bro would constantly get into huge fights with me and his Ti demon would keep calling me stupid. Oh also, I've been doing this ever since I was very young.

This is very ingrained so I'm not sure what to do. I started by looking into something called Intellectual Humility and honestly I've been studying so many things all day everyday for months that I've been too exhausted to read most of it. But I will.

Just checking to see if I have the timing right. House of Blues website says doors at 5:30, show at 6:30. There's no opener this tour right? So would that mean DBT are done by like 9PM? Just wanted to sanity check since that seems early.

DBT show, Philly, 10/19/2024

Sorry for the crappy photo. Venue was jampacked. Encore was Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World. Awesome show.

I have at least 3, and probably 4 vip experience tix for tonight in NYC that aren’t going to get used. Willing to take a loss, but mainly hate for them to go to waste. I haven’t put them for sale on Ticketmaster (yet) because evidently the vip aspect requires sending an email and a copy of drivers license. Also, fuck Ticketmaster.

For me, it was supposed to be Greenville to NYC, but a work situation won’t let me Shut Up and Get on the Plane. Hate to miss the rock show.

Will be out of town. $50. PayPal or Venmo. Can't resell on Ticketmaster app which is baffling. Bummed to miss it.

I saw on Spotify they are playing 4 straight days in Athens but this makes it seems like they are only playing Wednesday. I just wanted to make sure that was correct.

I found this 10 years ago. I absolutely love this. I've watched it 100 times. After seeing it I was excited there might be more like it out there, but never found one.

Anyone know of another like it with a good DBT song combined with Freed art?

Either way I thought the video needed more views and shares.

Howdy! I have two GA tickets to the Saturday 10/26 show in Minneapolis, I'm wondering if there is a kind hearted soul out there who would be willing to buy them at slightly lower than face value ($100 for the pair) or better yet exchange with me for the Friday 10/25 show? I have a commitment on that Saturday now. Figured I'd take a shot in the dark!

See you at the rock show

Talk among ourselves

I have a VIP ticket to tomorrow's show in Seattle. I haven't received details on arrival time for soundcheck/early entry yet. Does anyone who has done the VIP experience this tour know how this works?

I bought my tickets back when it was announced but I realized I havent recieved anything yet and its weird because it was coordinated through ticketmaster which we dont use here. tickets should be through etickets. Anyone?

I have COVID and can't go. Sucks. I'll entertain any offers at this point. I paid about 300 bucks for the pair.
