Johnny Cottonseeds -- Post When You Turn Someone Onto DBT

RevMatt · Post by **RevMatt** » Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:28 pm

Back on the other board What Would Cooley Do coined what I think is the perfect name for hardcore DBT fans: Johnny Cottonseeds. I think it describes how their fanbase has been built by one person turning on a friend or an acquantance onto the band. They never had commercial radio airplay or anything like that. So, just as a hardcore Grateful Dead fan was called a Deadhead, I propose that a hardcore DBT fan be called a Johnny Cottonseed. And lets post whenever we turn someone onto DBT.

Today I took my kids to Holmdel Park, in Monmouth County, NJ. In the pavilion there was a guy playing accoustic guitar and singing. He played a whole lot of great stuff: Warren Zevon, Tom Petty, Skynyrd, Neil Young. I asked him if he liked Drive By Truckers. He told me he heard of the band but never checked them out. I said, "Do yourself a favor and check them out on YouTube when you go home. You will absolutely love them. The best songwriters around today."

I kind of like the reference to Johnny Appleseed. The guy made it his life's work to get people to grow apple trees on their property, one farmer, one property owner at a time.

I'm not sure I want to call myself a Cottonseed or a Johnny Cottonseed.

Another young lady lured to the dark world of RAWK. My work here is done.

Just kidding. She turns 13 this Wednesday and loves the Truckers - she knows all the words.

Just turned my best friend from high school Charlotte on to DBT and she likes them. She has been listening to my web uploads on FB!!!

Had to share this story. I work out on weekends that I'm home with a 20-something friend named Meredith. She knows I'm a huge DBT fan and has liked what I've played for her. Anyway, she just attended a wedding in Indiana, and bumped into a friend there. This friend, Miles, started telling her about all the music he likes. He said to her, and I quote, Meredith, you have got to check out this band, called the Drive-By Truckers, they will change your life! Miles went on to say he had never heard of them before seeing them open for Tom Petty. Meredith of course freaked out and told him all about me. Miles lives in the Chicago area and is considering coming to NYE! Naturally, I sent Meredith an email to pass along inviting him to join 3dd and encouraged him to buy his ticket now.

Way cool that the Petty show sparked a new fan, and to that degree!

My wife's uncle gave me some of his old vinyl, and told me some bands to check out. He mentioned that he like the Old 97's, so I told him to check out some DBT. Got a fb message the other day telling me that he was digging them.
