Get forgiven or die trying

Rex Morgan, M.D., 8/30/23

I guess Mud Mountain Murphy's apology tour has now become Mud Mountain Murphy's relentless attempt to extract forgiveness from Truck, which isn't exactly in the spirit of humility and self-abnegation that Professor Mirakle preached, I don't think. Mud has apparently decided to check in at the Glenwood Hotel, which is where Truck sheltered in place after contracting some kind of not-COVID respiratory virus in the spring of 2020. It's a real shithole, which is why it was the perfectly depressing setting for a roots country tune that went unpredictably viral, which ironically means that, despite being in better financial straits, Truck feels honor-bound to just live there permanently now. Anyway, I can't remember if the owner was originally one Glenwood's surprisingly large contingent of roots country maniacs before all this happened; I'd like to imagine that he was more a classic rock guy, or maybe into Motown, but was compelled to get way into the roots country scene after his establishment got RootsTok famous, which would explain both his pompadour/sideburns lewk and his clear knowledge of the Mud-Truck feud's current status.
