Gunsmoke – Lyrics:
All my friends doin’ rails
& Drinkin’ cocktails
I was shooting shells & tossing hay bales
Raise Hell

Yeah I come from the deep woods
Yawl know I’m pure blood
So misunderstood
Never do what they say I should
Don’t think I ever would
No not even if I could
Yeah you know it’s all good

All Good
Cuz I come from the country
& I’ve been known to get crazy
I sell w**d & liquor to the city slickers
& I can get you there quicker & Like a gun I smoke

Like a gun I smoke
Five forty under my hood
Smokin’ on that good bud
Horse powers all stud
Never getting stuck in the mud
Don’t think I ever would
No not even if I could
Yeah you know it’s all good
All Good

Cuz I come from the country
& I’ve been known to get crazy
I sell w**d & liquor to the city slickers
& I can get you there quicker
& Like a gun I smoke
All my friends at the local bars
Wanna be rock stars
I’ve got mason jars &
life scars
Guitars!

Cuz I come from the country
& I’ve been known to get crazy
I sell w**d & liquor to the city slickers
& I can get you there quicker
& Like a gun I smoke

This episode clip is from a discussion about August 24, 2007, Cross Canadian Ragw**d and Dirks Bentley played a concert at Price Cutter Park in Ozark, Missouri.

It rained while they were building the stage, and when it stopped, the field was soaked. Plywood was put down to cover the field, and the gates were opened. When the people got out on that wet field, they destroyed it. Then it started raining again and rained through the load out.

The conversation in Episode 135 between Jake Daniels & Max Baker Jr. is taken from their episode of Turntable Touche that aired on Rock 100.5 The KATT in Oklahoma City on January 26th, 2025.

Turntable Touche airs every Sunday morning & Jake plays all vinyl. He invited Max to pick out 5 songs from his personal record collection & bring them up to the radio station, play them, & talk about them on the show. This turned out to be an amazing discussion about music and how it brings people together and drives people crazy, as they're on the quest for a rare pressing.

1. The Four Horsemen - Rockin' Is Ma Business

Episode 133 is LIVE

January 11th, 2000 is a historic day in Oklahoma City concert history. Slipknot was scheduled to play at the Tower Theater for the 3rd time. At the first show, they didn't have enough room to play the show due to being the opener on a Coal Chamber & Machine Head Package Tour. Max & Jimmy Johnson from Element, scramble and put their heads together to figure out how to get Slipknot back to OKC to play a headlining date. They have an off day on a Monday 10 days later, resulting in Slipknot returning to play for 400 or so people with Element & Lowlife opening the show. Max sees the popularity of the band growing & wants to bring them back through again & the January 11th, 2000 date was booked. Remember, during this time, 23rd Street OKC was not the nice vibrant neighborhood it is now! It was a dangerous place to be with vacant storefronts everywhere.

We sat down with Max Baker Jr. & Jeff Brownen to tell their accounts of what happened that day, where they were during the chaos, the discussions between the band management & the booking agent, & paying the band, all before Slipknot decided not to play. There were rumors for years about what happened that night, hopefully, this clears up some of the chaos & confusion & brings people back together!

Published & Aired Feb. 28th, 2000 on MTV News - "It was a bad gig, man. We learned our lesson," Corey Taylor ( #8) continued. "We're never going to play there again. We're going to play a place that will hold everybody. And he will not be involved," percussionist Shawn Crahan ( #6) added.

Fast Forward 22 years later to 2022 & Max Baker Jr. was involved in a Slipknot show in Oklahoma, where his company The Baker Boys did production load in & load out.... and yes, Max was in the building, from start to finish!
