"Runnin Kind/Lonesome Fugitive" Merle Haggard-Live At Billy Bob's

The original outlaw and lonesome fugitive, when I think of Merle I often recall one of the truest quotes ever uttered about the man. Sitting at a bar in Nashville listening to one of the many hundreds of great bands that inhabit that town with pedal steels on stage and telecaster guitars fitted with custom inlays the lead singer introduced Merle as the man Johnny Cash pretended to be. While the crowd gasped in horror at the sacrilege I smiled knowing the back story of this epic songwriter, hellraiser and ex con. Then again the crowd maybe knew all that, maybe they don't take to kindly to Merle for he invented a new sound in country music, a sound that trumped said town's for arguably decades.

County music's sound before Merle was significantly different. Think of Elvis Presley's "Don't be Cruel", "Four Walls" by Jimmy Reeves or "I Fall to Pieces" from Patsy Cline. It was heavily produced, over engineered, utilized (I admit I do love it) a new tuning on the guitar in which wound EADG strings on a standardly tuned six-string guitar (EBGDAE)run an octave higher. It is a good sound but in the end gets tired and I reckon I wasn't the only one feeling that way.

Merle Haggard was born in Oildale, California next to another shithole town widely known as Bakersfield. Before readers get all spun up about that comment I suggest they spend a few weeks there. His parents moved from Oklahoma during the Great Depression and in their new land life wasn't any easier. Merle's father died when he was nine years old, from that tender age on he engaged in petty crimes, was interned in a juvenile detention center at thirteen and spent the remainder of his teens in and out of various centers and jails until he saw Lefty Frizzle in concert and decided to pursue music as a career. It didn't exactly take off and just seven years later Merle found himself robbing a Bakersfield bar and receiving a stretch at the famous San Quentin State Penitentiary.

Incarcerated Merle still kept his old ways, he ran a gamboling and brewing racket from his cell, while in solitary he met two men named Drunk Adam and Rabbit who engineered an escape, Rabbit would escape only to shoot a police officer and return to San Quentin for execution. It was the turning point in Merle's life. Also while in San Quentin he attended three of Johnny Cash's concerts the topic of which would later come up later on after Merle's country music fame in a conversation:

Haggard came up to Johnny and told him, "I certainly enjoyed your show at San Quentin." Cash said "Merle, I don't remember you bein' in that show." Merle Haggard said, "Johnny, I wasn't in that show, I was in the audience."

Upon his release Haggard left the dark side for good and began his country career in earnest posting thirty eight number one hits throughout his career and being famous for starting "The Bakersfield Sound" of country music which plays in direct contrast to the Nashville sound spoken of earlier. This stripped down, heavy guitar influence music would be the catalyst for the Outlaw Country Music movement played by men such as Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, David Allan Coe and Buck Owens. The British songs "Act Naturally" and "Far Away Eyes" by The Beatles and Stones respectively encompass the genre, Gram Parsons and the Flying Burrito Brothers made their names on it.

Aside from all this history (I feel the post is becoming a bit too didactic) this song, which is actually a combination of two famous Merle songs, brings to mind the road, the freedom and the experience of a man who spent the early years of his life with no freedom at all, only the hell of prison life and the misery of watching days tick on with no end in sight. It is purely American in its openness and ideals, self reliance, not offering excuses or apologies. When I drive out west as I often do through the jerkwater towns, the vast expanse of the American continent there is nothing better than throwing on some Merle, opening the windows, lighting a Red and just enjoy being on the run, lonesome and while maybe not a fugitive from the law, trying to outrun that blackberry.

Chicago PSP Thursday Announcement – Must Read/Watch

The PSP’s Chicago Open is off to a rough start this year. The Chicago area is currently experiencing a severe storm and water has flooded out several of the fields. Read on for an official update from the PSP’s Camille Lemanski as well as two photos from our friends on location.

Update: Tyler Harmon of Sacramento XSV shares some video footage of the storm in action. Check out the lack of visibility!

Urgent Update Regarding Chicago PSP

Please read entire message

After several days of severe thunderstorms pounding the greater Chicago area, the venue for the 2010 PSP Chicago Open has been greatly compromised. Late this afternoon, the mother of all storms came through and has left the site in a dire state. We will now need to perform much needed construction tomorrow to get the fields up and operating. Our plan before this last storm hit was to start 2 hours late tomorrow (first game at 10:00 am instead of 8:00 am). At this time, 10:00 am is the earliest that the first game will be played, but it could very well be later than that.

We are aware that hundreds of flights into Chicago have been cancelled. We will notify teams of their game times throughout the day through text messaging. We will be updating the website as often as possible with game times for friends and family to follow.

This intense rain has obviously created severe flooding and has turned the grass into mud in many areas. We will need your absolute cooperation in assisting us by obeying parking policies (1 car per team allowed in the venue, additional cars park for free next door at Balmoral Park and utilize the free shuttle services we will be providing). Do not try to drive up on grass areas without instruction from staff as you will get stuck and cause further delays with the event.

Teams are not allowed to walk fields thursday, as that would impede our crew’s progress in getting the event up and running. Attempting to walk the fields will further delay the event and anyone on the fields without permission will face disqualification.

We appreciate your understanding that our crew has been working 15-hour days in severe thunderstorms to provide you with the PSP experience you have come to expect. We need your cooperation in making sure we can all have a great event this weekend and thank you for your patience!

–END Message–

Photos were sent from one of our friends late Wednesday afternoon, prior to the latest storm hitting the area. One of the corners of the field is sunk in mud and what appears to be ruts from a tractor.

Adorned with some new sponsors and sporting a new fresh look, Style Supply is making a splash in the custom jersey market. Newcomers to the scene, Style Supply hooked up Joy Division, Russian Legion and Frankfurt Syndicate with new custom jerseys for the 2010 season. All you paintball history buffs might notice one fun detail on these jerseys; each bomb is emblazoned with the year of each NPPL title that Aftershock has won. With a strong finish at the last PSP event, this old powerhouse is sure to place podium at this event–especially with their new blood.

Coverage of the Hurricanes Tournament Series

Pro Paintball correspondant Tim Barnard was able to give us a recap of what went down at the first Hurricane Tournament Series. Here’s the scoop:

The first ever Hurricanes Series Event was held at Camelot Paintball, located in Chicopee, Massachusetts. The Hurricane Series is a PSP regional affiliate, which was refereed by Division 1, New England Hurricanes. And running the show was Jeff Stein, who organized the entire event. He also had a car full of New England Hurricane T-shirts he was giving out which was awesome! Also Billy Bernacchia was on site helping out and watching games, and talking to teams and players. It was perfect weather, sunny and in the mid 80’s.

The refereeing was on par. Few penalties were called, no favoring of a certain team. The event ran smoothly, with the exception of a few mishaps like the air going down to the pits, which was resolved and play kept going. All the teams played hard and fought until the end, great showing of teams.

Standings after event 1:

Division 3 Race to-4 X-Ball:
1) TNN
2) 187 cRew
3) Worcester Legion
4) Boston Reapers
Congrats to TNN on the hard fought win. You guys earned it. Cannot wait until the second event, July 24-25

Thanks Tim. To check out more photos from the event, check out Tim’s Gallery

El amor mata!

Un café con MONDRIAN!

"Mondrian se definen, a si mismos, como una banda que "Ama el sabor concentrado de 2 minutos de POP, hecho a mano, no de una forma automática para la gente", me llamó la atención la descripción y me dispuse a buscar un poco de música suya, y mi sorpresa fue mayúscula  cuando lo que finalmente encontré fueron 3 geniales videoclips que podrían competir en cualquier festival de cortos (que por cierto alguno de sus videoclips lo hace). Como vale más una imagen que mil palabras, mejor verlos vosotros mismos." = http://www.uncafe.es/2010/06/mondrian.html.

Ste za sendvič?

"Ste lačni? Takšnega sendviča, kot ga pripravlja dekle v videospotu pariške skupine Mondrian za pesem Last Breakfast On Planet Surf, si zagotovo ne želi nihče. Mlada japonka namreč rešuje svoje ljubezenske dileme preko vse prej kot okusne kombinacije hrane, ki na koncu oživi na presenetljiv način."

Back_on_the_Drone

"Mondrian est un groupe de pop bubblegum parisien que je n’ai jamais vu sur scène. En réalité, je ne les connais que par mail, puisqu’il nous envoie régulièrement leurs clips. Dans la série “propret qui dégénère”, le groupe m’envoie ce matin leur dernière production, “Last Breakfast On Planet Surf”. Toujours réalisé par le même réal espagnol, Jesus Hernandez. Un tournage qui sent le poisson." = http://www.the-drone.com/magazine/mondrian-last-breakfast-on-planet-surf/.

Pile poilito un mois après, on trouve ça sur la toile... la vie blogesque n'est-elle pas magnifique?

"Quand on dit groupe de jeunes parisiens formé en 2007, la caricature suit quasi-immédiatement, faisant tomber l'enthousiasme un peu en dessous du niveau zéro. Du coup, quand on s'aventure à écouter Mondrian, on se prend un revers bien dosé. A l'opposé des attentes, on découvre un duo minimaliste, très humble qui joue de la pop/pop/pop influencée. C'est une surprise plutôt douce que constitue la musique du groupe; une voix légère et d'une fluidité évidente qui s'appuie sur des mélodies accrocheuses d'une justesse étonnante. Roman Oswald et Morning Crash s'appellent donc Mondrian et font de la pop!"

Iran Paintball League Videos

Recently filmed in the 1st event of INPL (Iran National Paintball League) held on 13-15 May 2009. All the teams in the videos are from the Iranian Pro Division. There are 8 teams in Pro Division of INPL: Datis, Persian Legend, Datis 2, Ariana, Swat, Giv, Tigers and Persian Stars.

Iran National Paintball League has a website ( www.paintball.ir ). Unfortunately the language pack is in Persian and the English part of website is currently inactive.

At the end of 2009 season, Datis took the 1st place in overall winning all the tournaments. Persian Legend took the 2nd, and second team of Datis placed 3rd.
The new season of INPL will start less than one month later (14-16 July). The 1st event will take place in Tehran (Capital of Iran).

Also, I must notice that all foreign teams are able to participate in our league. Registration for Foreign teams in Semi-Pro Division is FREE.

Thank you to ProPaintball insider Nima Razavi!
