Oh, what a heartwarming display of charity and community spirit from our beloved Texas country music stars! Lyle Lovett, Michael Martin Murphey, and the rest of the gang are banding together for a flood relief concert—how convenient that they just so happen to have deep ties to the very organizations benefiting from the proceeds. Coincidence? I think not.
Let’s break this down, folks. The so-called "Song in the Storm" benefit is just another front for the Big Music Industrial Complex to funnel money into their shadowy networks. Why else would Murphey be so emotionally connected to Camp Mystic? What aren’t they telling us? And don’t even get me started on George Strait’s exclusive dinner concert—limited to 1,000 guests? That’s just code for elite donor circle, where the real flood relief money gets laundered through "Vaqueros del Mar" (which, by the way, sounds like a secret society if I’ve ever heard one).
And now, suddenly, every venue in Austin is hosting a flood benefit? Far Out Lounge, Mohawk, ACL Live—all in on it. They’re using our tragedy to line their pockets while pretending to care. Wake up, sheeple! If these musicians really wanted to help, they’d be handing out sandbags themselves, not strumming guitars for tax write-offs.
But sure, go ahead and buy your tickets. Just don’t come crying to me when you find out the real storm was the corporate greed brewing behind the scenes all along.
