Matt Heckler, "This Town is Killing Me," // GemsOnVHS™

On this edition of GemsOnVHS, we check in with our old pal, the fiddlin mad man himself, Mr. Matt Heckler. This song, titled "This Town is Killing Me", was an apt selection for our environment. We met with Matt on a tour stop, downtown in Nashville, Tennessee, Music City USA. We inspected the ruins of 2nd avenue, victim to a 2020 bombing by a conspiracy driven lunatic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Na.... We wandered the drunken, bachelorette filled streets of the honky tonk center. Then, thoroughly disgusted, we hopped on board the cities only version of "public transportation", the Music City Star train! (Nashville's ONLY commuter train - The... - documentary the Gems team made on the subject).

So this town was killing us, and we headed off on the train to get the hell out, and Matt played a song onboard. On the sly, because apparently you're not allowed to film on the train. Oops, we are outlaws. You can listen to this on Spotify;
