Good Lord, Gavin…It’s no secret that California is a bit of a disaster right now, whether it’s rampant homelessness, crime, the massive state budget deficit, wildfire management, and now, people rioting in Los Angeles, the track record is far from impressive.

Man, I bet Sturgill Simpson would grimace watching this video back. Some people don’t like watching old videos of themselves because they don’t like the sound of their own voice, or because they don’t want to be reminded that Father Time is undefeated. Sturgill probably wouldn’t like watching this clip of himself from 2018 because he’d get upset thinking about all of the money he could have made.
