Every bit the lonesome drifter who saunters through his sumptuous brand of vintage Americana, the 36-year-old was raised by a single mother in a Texas trailer park before leaving for Paris, Morocco and Spain. There were stints farming in California, busking in New Orleans and getting his first break when gigging in the subway carriages of New York. “I have such an eclectic, colourful background that I think people get overwhelmed – but truth is stranger than fiction,” says Crockett of a life that also includes its unfair share of tragedy: a sister lost to addiction, an incarcerated brother and his own life-saving heart surgery at the start of 2019.

We’ve posted Marshall Mathers’ relevant lyrics, which are courtesy of Genius.com, below. They’re in order of his flow. First, on Brees, who caught Em’s wrath for saying that NFL players kneeling during the pregame national anthem was “disrespecting the flag.” Brees has since apologized for taking that stance. I had hoop dreams, now I shoot threes (What?)Got a lil’ green (Yeah), but I don’t do weed (Nope)Purp nor lea...

De Niro drops F-bombs during live interview; reaction from columnist Mark Steyn. Robert De Niro says he’s running out of dinero. The coronavirus dealt a massive financial blow to the actor’s finances he revealed in court, as his estranged wife asked for an emergency order to raise her monthly American Express card credit limit from $50,000 to $100,000.
