A Big Riders Shout-Out to Dwayne Thompson

So I’m sure y’all have heard by now that yer ol’ pal Dusty said a few controversial things at the Waynesboro, Oklahoma show last night, coming down pretty hard against cancer research. I just wanna say that we totally support our pal, even though officially the Midnight Riders do not endorse any of the opinions voiced by Dusty last night, nor condone his actions afterwards, when a journalist asked him why he loved cancer and Dusty knifed him between the ribs.

Luckily, the journalist is expected to recover fully – thanks to Dwayne Thompson from Amarillo, Texas, who won our website contest and gets to donate a lung in exchange for the FULL MIDNIGHT RIDERS DISCOGRAPHY on CD, autographed. You are the king, Dwayne.

Once again, we fully support Dusty while simultaneously not endorsing anything he says.

To all you diehard Midnighters out there in Florence, Arkansas, we’ll see you tonight at the Florence Civic Center and Flea Market.

Much love,

Jake 

Jake Here (For Real)

 Hey there, brothers. Apparently Ox found my laptop and decided to have a little fun. Then he found my book of Renaissance art and pasted on pages of pornography from Mounds Magazine.

The guys sure do bust my hump that I wrote ‘This Man Loves You’. You might remember the song—it’s the one that became a number one hit. Oh, that’s right. It’s the only Riders song to become a number one hit. You probably recognize it from a bunch of car ads a while back. We made a pretty respectable pile of coin off that song. That song they’re always criticizing.

Here’s a fact about ‘This Man Loves You’ you Midnighters might not have known: I wrote it to my father after he passed on. That Ox sure is a card, let me tell you. One of these days someone’s gonna break a tooth off in that big funny mouth of his.

Much love,

Jake

I aM JAke

I rite ballads hahahaaaa this man loves you

Every time i look at my stupid art books i cry 

On the Road to Fort Worth

Long night, brothers. The life of the road. 3am and we’re on our way to Fort Worth, Texas (a town with some history for the Riders) for another kick-ass show. I’m writing to you from my laptop on the Riders tour bus. Things are pretty chill here. Dusty’s practicin’ some licks. Smitty’s playin’ some Xbox, unwinding. And Ox is drinking an entire bottle of scotch whiskey and hurling insults at me. So it’s just another day in the life, brothers.

Hold on. Ox says he wants to type something at all you Riders fans out there. Take it away, Ox:

JAKE EATS FARTS HAHAHDAHAHA

According to Ox I can’t delete that or I’m kicked out of the band. We’ll see you in Fort Worth, Midnighters.

Much love,

Jake
