Former Irving resident Charley Crockett, who’s thrived as a superb vintage-Outlaw country singer-songwriter now based in Austin, basically said he’s OK with going back to busking, which was what he did before becoming regionally famous — and which is what he may be doing if he keeps adding to this flamewar between him and supporters of two Earthly disciples of the great Satan hisself (“red and scaly with a bifurcated tail” and carrying a hayfork).
“FUCK TRUMP, FUCK EPSTEIN, BUT HAIL SATAN? NOT ME JACK” is what Crockett posted the other day before launching into a long explanation about his dumping Twin Temple from two dates on his tour. The married Satanic doo-wop duo from Los Angeles was set to open for him in Oregon and California last week before he gave them the “complicated cowboy” boot (thanks, snarky online commenters for that one). Big-time rockstar Jack White whipped out his phone, surfed to Instagram, and publicly asked Twin Temple to open for him in L.A. in September.
“Unholy hell,” the duo replied online, “Sir Jack, you have no idea what this means to us. Lifelong fans.”
Twin Temple’s streams, sales, and follows have since skyrocketed from the entire brouhaha…
