What’s Nashville’s Broadway District like on a Saturday night? It’s something you have to hear to believe. I’ll take you there in Nashville-Broadway-Saturday-Night-Bob Davis Podcast 965.
First of all every time I come to Tennessee I visit my friend John Holland and we do a podcast.
Second when John moved to Nashville and I went nomad, I knew I’d be visiting Music City at some point.
But rather than sit around and talk, we thought we’d take a ride through one of the top tourist attractions in Nashville and do a podcast.
So that’s the backdrop for Nashville-Broadway-Saturday-Night-Bob Davis Podcast 965.
Certainly Broadway is a tourist attraction. However it is a lot of fun just to see so many people having so much fun.
Party buses. Pedal Pubs. Bar band after bar band “turning it up to eleven” to compete with each other and the street musicians.
More importantly there’s a lot of stories in this podcast.
Moving to a new city for a new job. All the usual stories about Nashville’s real “down home” nice.
A big change from what it was like when I used to come through here on Family road trips.
Of course everyone I know wants to know what it’s like in “Trump Country”.
On the other hand Nashville is a more cosmopolitan place than it used to be. Meanwhile Tennessee itself of course votes ‘red’.
John Holland gives us his usual political run down. After spending years in Chattanooga, Tennessee and working in many of the south’s now burgeoning cities, he’s usually got his finger on the pulse.
The music business, recording studios, film and video production, music itself and much more.
Finally it’s obvious from a trip through Broadway on a Saturday Night, Nashville loves to party.
Even more I can’t wait to come back and see the real down home Nashville the locals know.
Music City works for me!

Firstly wouldn’t it be cool to live offgrid in a home that actually pays you? I am in Kentucky and my guest in Offgrid-In-Trump-Country-Bob-Davis-Podcast-964 builds these homes.
Secondly rural Kentucky like most of rural America, is Trump country.
Out here they think the democrats stole the election from President Trump.
Most importantly there are a lot of stories about ballots all over the country.
But Jay Hamilton is unique.
Certainly Jay’s uniqueness is driven by his curious and active mind.
This is what makes spending time with him so much damn fun!
However when he applies his intellect to Benford’s Law and precinct level election data, sparks fly.
Above all many wonder about election fraud.
The great thing about being a nomad is the opportunity to meet and talk with people like Jay Hamilton. You get to join me in this effort in Offgrid-In-Trump-Country-Bob-Davis-Podcast-964.
Moreover my big city friends keep asking me what Trump supporters think.
Therefore I give you Jay. I do not pass judgement on his theories. I’ll leave that to you.
In the same vein I have learned we are all human beings.
I noted the fact that many of the democrats I’d met were very nice people.
Finally I think everyone should check out Jay’s analysis of what could have happened in the 2020 election.
And if you are looking to get off grid Jay is your guy.

Most importantly if you know me you know taking my time isn’t easy. At all. In addition my subscribers know I am no stranger to travel. However now that I’ve gone full gonzo nomad the idea of taking my time has new significance. Learn more in Taking-My-Time-Isn’t-Easy-Bob Davis Podcast 963.
Second of all aside from planning the actual highways and back roads to take on travel days, no plan IS the plan.
Therefore sitting in a state park in Indiana recently gave me some time to reflect on how the pace of travel should be different if you live on the road.
Even more when I am pushing to get from one place to another that is when I make stupid mistakes.
Above all it becomes necessary to remind myself it’s all happening in the now.
No Home To Go To
Certainly I don’t have to go ‘back’ home at any time. so I should be able to take my time, right?
On the other hand for type A individuals that is easier said than done.
As a result this is something I have to remind myself of almost constantly. I am not giving up. Maybe just letting go a little.
To clarify there is a plan. I’ll let you guys in on some of it in this podcast.
But it is a loose plan.
I’ve never been one to plan things down to the minute details. However I can get pretty intense when things don’t work out exactly as I planned.
Finally I am sure more and more ideas like this will become clearer and ‘gel’ as they say, as time goes on.
It’s all very new to me right now.

Learn more in Where’s-The-Landslide-Bob Davis Podcast 962. Penguin Pundits told us over and over one of these candidates would probably win the election ‘by a landslide’. What happened?
Firstly I don’t do minute by minute election coverage.
Most importantly I am in Fairfield, Iowa. A great mix of people in a great small Midwestern town.
Even more Fairfield was where I ended my 2020 Iowa Caucus fiasco coverage.
Above all podcasts have an opportunity to tell a story on any subject.
We Know media loves its statistics and judgements on election day.
On the other hand Hey-Where’s-The-Landslide?-Bob Davis Podcast 962 takes you through the night.
Certainly there are some stats. But there are also interviews with locals, check ins and some thoughts about the future sure to surprise.
In short if you had been listening to these podcasts you already knew the polls actually predicted close races in the contested states. I’ve been saying this for weeks. Yeah, I talk about it in Where’s-The-Landslide-Bob Davis Podcast 962.
Finally now we have to wait for the results.
In conclusion if you are enslaved by a political identity, or trapped in the roach motel of politics, this is a good podcast for you.
To sum up maybe it would be better if we waited for the results to come before we tell everyone what the results will be, right?

Most important thing to do to avoid dumb mistakes? Be present. Learn more in Mistakes-Final Polls-Bob Davis Podcast 961.
Secondly I had to stop and run down the final polls before this fiasco ends. Or not.
Certainly I have a lot going on in my mind. Even more when traveling. Double it if you’re a nomad.
As a result there is always a point where it’s easy for me to make a dumb mistake.
Above all these mistakes happen early in the trip or when I am preoccupied.
Firstly this particular mistake has to do with the green pump for diesel as opposed to gasoline. I’ll tell you more in Mistakes-Final Polls-Bob Davis Podcast 961.
In addition after a major delay to address my mistake I have to do a final poll run down before the election on November 3rd.
Consequently this podcast is a little extra. Longer. Some observations about life on the road and mistakes and a run down of the polls.
In the same vein you know how I feel about polling and media coverage this year. If you don’t click here.
Certainly people are taking liberties and making predictions polling should not be used for.
As a result many people are under the impression this has all been worked out.
In fact nothing has been worked out.
Finally you’ll learn in Dumb-Mistakes-Final Polls-Bob Davis Podcast 961 that Election 2020 can really go any number of directions.
To sum up if you do watch election coverage on November 3rd you might be up late.
In conclusion it all started for me in 2020 in Iowa covering the caucus campaigns.
Therefore I will end my coverage of this insane election in Fairfield Iowa.
