The songs about the store owners hypocrisy and disdain for alcoholics

Charlie Parr is my spirit animal.

This is what I live for. Finding this kind of song for the first time. This is four times in a row. Haven’t stopped crying. I’m so happy.

Yeah, it's like an entire Larry Brown novel in one song. (Actually reminds me a great deal of the liquor store owner from the book Joe)

@@connordebruler3264 I heard something about Charlie Parr writing stories to eventually compile into a book, but then thinking the book wasn't any good. This song "Cheap Wine" comes from one of those stories he wrote. Sounds like there is a longer story here and we're just getting a glimpse of it.

He is NOT underrated by those who know of him.

This song is so simple and so powerful at the same time!

Just a masterpiece of a song. So much depth in a deceptively simple melody. Makes me want to drink more cheap wine

I love this- Hobo as well- New admirer -my daughter just saw you in Missoula and loved your talent and genuine kindness

One of the best character portraits ever written. (Along with Warf Rat)

I'm applaunding all the way! Had the privilege to see you play in Utrecht one time. You made a hack of a impression to me. Thank you Charlie.

Brilliant! Great song and awesome execution of playing the 12 string.

Wow that voice.

Right!?! I've listened to as many versions of this song as I could find and the one at Terrapin Station, I feel, is his best performance of the song. There's something raw and emotional about that particular performance.

So I took your advice.. This slower version, with the 12 string gives the lyrics a moment to sink in. I like it better, but it's all subjective.

Saw Charlie play the Lexington London (UK) a couple of weeks ago. Great gig.

This is beautiful.

Fantastic

Thank you spotify discover 🙌🙌

Old ladies don't like cheap wine. They buy it because they can't afford better. Of course, it doesn't make them better than other people. This song should be the anthem of neighborhoods like mine.

My blood runs cold When he says I own property In the cracks of all the pretty lines Hides two murders One he did by his own hand And the other one was the kid he set up for that murder Who the cops killed So our liquor store owner is Not really a good man Just trying to make it in life He killed two men who were what he was not Why is everything and everybody So sad today Were all capable of evil Greed love pain jealousy Can drive a body mad and snatch a life away 12 strings at a time P$ Just saying he's no hero But Charlie is in my mind So thanks charlie From the Ghost on the shore

On working in a liquor store; The old ladies are just as bad as the crustiest bum that comes in and ruins your day. The putrid stench of perfume eventually is the same as the stench of sweat and alcohol seeping through the pours as they sift through their change. I'm so tired of these labels. Why don't they just say it? It's cheap wine. The front door swings open, the bell attached to it dings. I see a grizzled man stagger inside mumbling to himself. The elderly woman buried deep in the Pinot Noir aisle is struggling to stoop to see the price tag on the bottom shelf bottles. As the aforementioned ghoul shuffles his way to the counter to ask about the price of a 5th of Arbor Mist that he can't afford, the shell of the woman stumbles out of the next aisle and wrinkles her nose at the man. I wrinkle my nose at her. The bum walks up, bottle in hand, and slaps a single crumpled dollar and an undetermined amount of silver and pennies onto the counter. The old crone behind him lets out a huff of impatience. I count his life's worth and send him on his way, paper bag crumpled tight around his low proof sweet wine. The next 7 minutes are pure agony. The woman is now boiling with rage which she can only pinpoint as either my fault or that of the man that is now happily on his way. Being that I am the only one in front of her, she directs her frustration at the only person who has had nothing to do with her frustration, naturally. She demands a discount for the inconvenience of having to wait in line like a normal human being and is frothing at the mouth when she is promptly told to insert the sharpest part of a cactus into her anal cavity and that if this is the worst she's ever dealt with, then this should be her eternal sentence when she undoubtedly reaches the hot, screaming gates of hell. Long story short, I would deal with legions of bums and miscreants before ever having to deal with a Sunday brunch van full of old women looking for a bottle of cheap wine. Thank you for coming to my TedTalk.

I just like cheap wine? I'm a cheap, low class wino. Then again, listening to this makes me wonder if there isn't more trauma here. I like this song. I didn't stumble here accidentally, so I guess I'm crazy.

Getting some Tom Petty vibes from this. Good stuff!

KZread is adertising something called Patriot Foods to me, and it's the most tone-deaf thing I've ever experienced. Then they are sending me something about golfing. Not much better. All of this on a post by a musician I love. Google recently admitted that they only care about the supply side of their advertising budget. Not surprising. These idiots try to market me as a product for things I don't want to buy.
