How Bad Do You Want It?

by: julie oehme

How bad should you want Tim McGraw's latest work of art? The opening track "How Bad Do You Want It?" sets the mood for what is a classic, and what, for me, was an unexpected journey back to what can be considered a more typical country sound than his last album. As a true Tim McGraw fan, I will be the first to admit that it took several good listens to this album before I warmed up to it. But, McGraw has yet again managed to give his fans a collection of humor and heart wrench that you can't help but want to listen to again and again.

Having viewed McGraw's last album, Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors, as having a sound more appealing to the masses while managing to uphold the fundamentals of country music, I feel Live Like... is an album that will appeal more to the true country music fan verses a "cross over" fan, with tracks like "Do You Want Fries With That" and "Back When". It is in finding the fun and intended humor in songs such as these that allow for virtually anyone to appreciate them in some way. (Who can't find the humor in the lyrics "back when a hoe was a hoe and a screw was a screw"?)

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
