Show 629 – The End of an Era

This week our, good friend Anthony Sosa returns to the Temple because we wanted to pick his brain about a few things that just didn’t fit into last weeks episode. We deep dive into a discussion of what’s happening to a bunch of our favorite bars, clubs, and venues across Fort Worth. How one individual has the power to completely cripple the art and music community that is thriving in this city. We also get into the education system in Fort Worth ISD, the changes that are coming, and how the birth rate is affecting a lot of things long-term. There is a Sprite and Tea hybrid concoction for sale now, and just as we are getting to the Texas Monthly BBQ list, everything goes to complete shit. It’s a rough one, especially when it comes to political issues like deportation and ICE, and having an educated conversation about what these government agencies are doing and how they are overstepping their bounds. This conversation gets super heated and completely crumbles the entire show. So welcome to the end of the Jerry Jonestown Massacre podcast. For almost 12 years, I have poured time and energy into being able to deliver a podcast for 629 weeks straight. I get to the Temple early to clean up, make sure everything is working, to put together the structure of the show, put together show notes, and make sure guests are where they are supposed to be. After the show, I stay up late bouncing the audio (yes there is some editing, believe it or not), uploading to our server, creating episode art, posting the show, and making sure it gets distributed to all the appropriate networks and outlets. But over the last couple of weeks, I’ve started to realize that I’m tired. I’m tired of doing everything, and right now I need a break. I wish we could have gone a bit further, maybe at least made it to Show 650, but there’s only so many times you can be pissed on. Who knows what will happen from here, I guess we will see over the days to come. Eventually, there will be a whole lot of “Thank You’s” and a proper “Goodbye”, but right now I’m tired.
