Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 release from the indie musician best known for his work with Lambchop and Silver Jews. From M.C. Taylor (Hiss Golden Messenger) says, "William's new record, Goes West, is the best music that he's ever made. I'm sure of this because I know and love all of his music intimately, and this album moves me the most, and the most consistently. The first time I heard it was in the late spring in the Texas Hill Country, rolling between limestone and scrub. I was on a cleanse then-no alcohol, no drugs, no evil thoughts-and was astonished at the emotional clarity that the album held. It offered up a model for what I wanted my head to feel like. Goes West marks a sort of narrowing of focus for William's music; it sounds as though he found a way to point himself directly towards the rich and bittersweet emotional center of his music without being distracted by side trips. Perhaps this is down to the fact that William only plays acoustic guitar on the album, a clear and conscious decision considering that he is one of Nashville's great electric guitarists. The band that performs Goes West alongside William-including guitarists Meg Duffy and Bill Frisell, bassist and producer Brad Cook, keyboardist James Wallace, drummer Griffin Goldsmith, and engineer Tucker Martine-is the best and most sympathetic group of players that William could have assembled to play these songs."Track List Fail Safe Not in Our Stars Call Me When I'm Breathing Again Eventual Surrender Rebecca Venus in Aquarius Virginia Is for Loners Man in a Hurry Our Lady of the Desert
"The Desperate Man", famous self-portrait of the French painter Gustave Courbet, on the blog of Éric Bourdon. Gustave Courbet exhibited many times at the "Salon of French Artists", then called "Le Salon". He made this artwork in Paris around 1845. The painting shows him "desperate", but especially in full youth.
The photo is presumably taken during filming, so Sean is at work here. I have thought about some superlative for him, and how he pose. He's a bloody "Roughneck" a damn hot "Roustabout" he's like a "Wildcat" (U.S. titles Operation Snafu and Operation War Head) From net. No info about photographer or ownership. From 1961, so probably public now.

The bible contains words of wisdom, encouragement, hope, comfort, but also humor. I have been studying the book of John, and in chapter 10, Jesus tells us that He is the Good Shepherd and we are His sheep. When you really think about being compared to sheep, know as the dumbest and neediest animal, it is sad, but true. Insights on Sheep from The God Who Cares and Knows You by Kay Arthur 1. The life of a sheep depends a lot on what kind of shepherd it has. If the sheep has a mean or cruel shepherd, it would probably suffer, and its life would be hard. Or if the shepherd were lazy and didn't take care of the sheep it might be hungry or even starve! But if the shepherd was gentle and brave and didn't think of himself first, then the sheep would go to be healthy, strong, content, and happy. 2. More than any other kind of animal, sheep need attention and care. The shepherd must protect the sheep from cougars, wolves, dogs, and thieves. The shepherd must protect his sheep at all times of the day and night. 3. Sheep are timid and fearful animals. They get scared very easily, and this fear keeps them from doing many things that are good for them. 4. Sheep are "mass-minded"--they have "mob instincts"--they will do what every other sheep is doing! If one sheep gets scared and runs, all the others will run with it, whether or not they know why they are running. They will also follow each other off a cliff and plummet to their death. 5. Sheep are animals of habit. They like to keep following the same trails over and over. They will keep grazing on the same land until they practically ruin the land--and they will eat bad grass. 6. Sheep are known to be very stubborn animals. They need the shepherd to guide them around. They are also know to be very stupid, dumb animals. They will sometimes just freeze if there is danger around. Sometimes they won't even try to run for safety; they will panic and not even cry out. 7. Sheep will not lie down and rest until they...are not afraid, get along with all the other sheep, do not have any flies or pests bothering them, or aren't hungry. 8. Sheep will butt each other with their heads. They also have a "butting order." The oldest sheep usually has the highest position of power. If a younger sheep is eating in a patch of grass the oldest one wants, he will butt the younger one out of the way. The younger one will act just the same way to sheep younger than themselves. But when the shepherd comes around, the sheep forget what they were fighting over, and they stop and behave themselves. 9. A sheep has to have good land to feed on, or it will stay hungry. If a sheep is hungry, it will stay on its feet and constantly be searching for food to satisfy its hunger. Sheep cannot sleep if they are hungry, and they are not much good to the owner if they stay in that condition. They get nervous and upset very easily, and if they don't eat the right food, all sorts of things will bother them. 10. Sheep are bothered by many different pests--all kinds of flies, mosquitoes, gnats, and other flying insects. Many of these insects will aim straight for the nose of the sheep. If they get into the sheep's nose, they may lay eggs. When the eggs hatch, the larvae will get into the passages of the nose and cause swelling and irritations and sometimes blindness. The sheep will beat their heads against trees or rocks to try to get these pests to stop bothering them, and sometimes this may kill the sheep. Other sheep will shake their heads for hours and hours. Some will run until they just drop from running so much. The good shepherd puts oil on the sheep's head and around the nose to calm the sheep. This makes Psalm 23:5 more applicable..."you anoint my head with oil." 11. Sheep can become "cast down." This means that they get turned over on their back and cannot get up again by themselves. If the shepherd doesnt' come to the sheep quickly, the sheep may die. 12. In the sheepfold--the place where the sheep sleep--the shepherd lies down in the opening or doorway to guard the sheep. If thieves or predators try to get in and hurt the sheep, they have to cross over the shepherd--because he's the door. John 10:2 says that "he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep" and in verse 7, Jesus tells us that He is the door of the sheep and if anyone enters through Him, he will be saved and will go our and find pasture. "I am the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep...I am the Good Shepherd and I know My own and My own know Me. I have other sheep which are not of this fold; I must being them also and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one Shepherd." John 10:11,14 David was a shepherd before he became a king, and he understood this comparison better than anyone else. He penned Psalm 23, a familiar passage to many. It means so much more when we understand our role compared to God. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. So, the next time you think you are so smart, remember that we are really just dumb sheep in desparate need of a shepherd:)
