Waylon Jennings’ son, Shooter Jennings, shared on Father’s Day that he’s found a “treasure trove” of unheard music that his dad made and said he will release it all in a new album. In a lengthy post on Facebook, Shooter wrote that he’d found never-before-heard music his dad recorded before the country legend died in 2002, and said that a new album with his dad’s songs will be coming in 2025. “When I was young, in the house that I grew up in, there was a room that was always locked. The ‘storage room’ is what my parents call it,” Shooter wrote. “I have vivid memories of dozens of grey boxes in cubby holes with notes jotted in marker on the outside. I knew what was in those boxes was my dad’s work.” Years after his dad died, Shooter explained that tapes his father had left in his office or in various studios around Nashville were all compiled and transferred to digital drives, but they just sat. In 2014, the process took place again to put the music on even more modern drives, but once again they sat “waiting,” until recently. “What I expected to find was a catalog of all of my dad’s albums and recordings,” the late-singer’s son wrote. “I knew there were a few songs that were never released, for whatever reasons, so I had my fingers crossed that I would maybe find something special and rare along the way that I could share with you.” Shooter Jennings announcing that’s there’s a bunch of new Waylon Jennings material getting released next year is cool as hell. pic.twitter.com/M6mq5TfUOk — brandon wenerd (@brandonwenerd) June 17, 2024 “What I found was massive historical documentation of a man and a band with an incredible friendship, worth ethic and deep passion for playing and recording music,” he added. “What I found was way beyond my wildest fantasies.” Shooter said he then set out to bring life to those “lost” and with the help of a pal, Shooter said he has done it, Whiskey Riff.com noted. “I’m in possession of a treasure trove of previously unheard full band Waylon Jennings multi-track recording from the 70’s and early 80’s and I have begun preparing the material to be mixed…” Jennings wrote. “These are not demos. These are not unfinished, but, they will take some time to explore, prepare, and mix,” he added. “You’ve got something to look forward to – there will be new, classic Waylon Jennings music in 2025. Stay tuned.” Related: Johnny Cash Album With Never-Before-Heard Tracks Coming This Summer

“Doctor” Kenny Chesney used to rely on his math smarts to “impress” the ladies before he could make them swoon with his Grammy-winning songs. The country star visited The Kelly Clarkson Show on June 17th and got on the subject of pickup lines. We assume his smooth vocals could easily land him some dates today. But he took a different approach in the past. “Well, I used to try to impress girls by quoting different formulas—like mathematical formulas,” he told Kelly. “And sometimes, it worked, and sometimes they looked at me like I was crazy.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Kelly Clarkson Show (@kellyclarksonshow) After the admission, Kelly Clarkson decided to see just how much he remembered. While he was talking, the producers shared the quadratic formula on a screen behind him. Then Kelly put him on the spot and asked him to recite it for the audience. “This was burned into my head in high school,” Kenny shared as he tried recalling the closed-form expression. “Doctor” Kenny Chesney Is “In Different League” It took a few moments. But after remembering the full name of the teacher who taught it to him, he quoted the equation with ease. And it worked—Kelly was impressed. “How many dates did that land you?” she asked with a shocked face. Kenny was honest with his response. While reciting formulas may have dazzled a few ladies, it didn’t exactly fill up his calendar. “A few,” he said. “But yeah, I mean, not as many dates as my guitar did.” Kelly Clarkson kindly admitted that it wouldn’t have gotten him far with her either. “If I was on a date, and someone said anything like ‘quadratic formula,’ I would just know that we are not meant to be together,” she laughed. “I would be like, ‘Oh man, you’re in a different league.'” Kenny Chesney then remembered that his alma mater, East Tennessee State University, handed him a PhD when he dropped in for a homecoming celebration in 2022. “Maybe that’s why they gave me an honorary doctorate,” Kenny joked.

The 2023 Nashville Covenant School murders understandably received massive news coverage when they occurred. The fight over obtaining the murderer’s diary also received news attention. But when “nearly four dozen pages” of the murderer’s diary were finally released earlier this month, the mainstream media completely ignored it. It turns out that behind the scenes, the FBI had fought hard against the diary’s release. Some Covenant School parents also opposed releasing the diary because it would force families to re-live the nightmare. The Tennessee Star’s parent company, Star News Digital Media, successfully filed two lawsuits to obtain the diary. Five days after the release of the diary, with the exception of the New York Post, which is a national news outlet, the news coverage was limited to seven other conservative outlets such as The Daily Wire and Newsbusters. The school murderer was transgender, and her diary reveals a suicidal left-winger who hated whites. The FBI expressed concern that the release of the diary from a transgender person could lead the public “to dismiss the attacker as mentally ill,” which would “further permeate the false narrative that the majority of attackers are mentally ill.” It worried that the diary could “potentially inflam[e] the public.” The FBI worried that releasing the diary could have “unintended consequences for the segment of the population more vulnerable or open to conspiracy theories, which will undoubtedly abound.” Self-professed “experts,” the FBI fears, will “proffer their perspectives” in the press. But there is a lot of important information in the diary. As is very typical of mass public shooters, the murderer was suicidal: “A terrible feeling to know I am nothing of the gender I was born of. I am the most unhappy boy alive. I wish to be dead.” She was also on the anti-anxiety drug Buspirone, whose potential side effects include “abnormal dreams, outbursts of anger, tremors, and physical weakness.” The FBI worries that the diary will help create a link in people’s minds between mass murderers and mental illness, but suicidal people presumably have some mental health problems. Nor should the link be particularly surprising given that the Crime Prevention Research Center shows that 51% of mass public shooters in the last 25 years were actually seeing mental health care professionals before their attacks. That is 2.5 times the rate in the general public. The FBI acknowledged that Americans want to “understand what led to such tragic events.” But the FBI argued these statements “seldom provide the answers” and the diaries and manifestos were “often misleading.” Yet the national media appears completely uninterested in why these murderers pick the targets they do and how their motivation to get media coverage is important in understanding how to stop these attacks. The diary showed that the murderer had picked the Covenant School because it was a soft, unprotected target. Even if the national media ignored these comments, Metro Nashville Police Chief John Drake, who had access to the diary, said on the day of the attack, “There was another location that was mentioned, but because of a threat assessment by the suspect of too much security, they decided not to.” A couple of days later, Nashville Council member Robert Swope stated that the murderer “looked at” two other Nashville public schools before deciding “the security was too great to do what she wanted to do.” While the FBI worries that many of “the offenders themselves do not fully grasp or comprehend” what they are writing, there is a logic to attacking facilities assumed to be gun-free zones, like the Covenant School, and trying to maximize the amount of media coverage that they receive. The FBI may not want to acknowledge this, and the media may not want to cover these points, but we see it consistently in these attacks. The mass murderer wanted to get attention for the difficulties facing transgender individuals. She compared trans individuals to other groups in a way that indicates she clearly believed that transgender people didn’t have the same rights: “Disabled have rights, civil races have rights, LGBTQ have rights, gun owners have rights.” But referring to the life of transgender people, she declared: “ … with no rights, anyone’s country is a s—– dictatorship.” The news media and the FBI under the Biden administration are attempting to control the information available to Americans about a mentally troubled woman who identified as a man. The Biden administration is free to argue against linking transgender issues to mental illness or mass murder, but censoring the information is not the right approach.
