Coal operators unwillingness to lower prices is what led to the push for the alternatives.

We have a smart man hereI laugh at the people who blame politics for coal decline. There are two things to blame here and neither of which are Dems or GOP. It’s coal prices and alternatives to coal that led to its demise.
No evidence exists of any relationship you claim to have with multiple celebrities other than your stories, text messages that show nothing,
and photo-op pics that anyone with a backstage pass to a concert could get.

If even the lowest of the D list celebrities (like the youtube kid you used to boast about representing) gave you a shout out, you'd post it here immediately because you need validation from this boards members for some reason.
and you're not credited with a single thing in the entire music industry.
I think the best was when he said he is credited on some albums as helping to write/produce songs for these hugely successful artists. It must just be one of the many talents Rifle has been blessed with.
.
I would say there is no other Div III football coach out there writing top 40 music.
Googling his name only shows where he racistly sued his black boss for $15,000 (a check he didn't even bother to cash because rich people don't cash checks).
. All of the claimed corroboration comes from your end.
or he's coaching under a pseudonym.
You've clearly never been backstage at a big show. This isn't 1988 Motley Crue where 30 girls are brought backstage to blow the guys. Artists don't hang out "backstage" and wander around. Artists do one of two things: 1) they either go directly to their bus (their private sanctuary which is a home for them for many months) or 2) lock themselves in their dressing room.
Artists aren't walking around backstage socializing or looking to take pictures/meet new people.
That's why so many of my pictures are either on their buses. Unless you're a hot girl wanting to blow a rapper, you aren't getting on the bus unless you are somebody important to them. They keep hundreds of thousands of dollars of jewelry, thousands of dollars of luggage/bags/clothing, their recording equipment, their drugs/weapons in some cases, and their hard drives with all of their unreleased work that they make on the road on the bus. A simple acquaintance isn't getting on the bus. If you're on the bus, you either know somebody very closely who is also very close to the artist or you're somebody very important to the artist. The same thing holds true for their dressing rooms.
If artists have any sort of meet-and-greet, they don't do those things on their bus, in their dressing room, etc. So feel free to look at any pictures I have posted and see just how many are on their bus, just outside of their bus after they walk me back to wherever I am going, or in their dressing room.
I didn't claim that I was arranging a meeting with them. I said that I wanted to get Taylor to stay in town for the night so she would go and link up with Drake at his show in the same city since I was also going to it.
I never claimed to "represent him." I've produced about a dozen records for him, one which has gone platinum and one which has gone gold. Yes, I am credited on all of them. A kid who has 10 million Facebook followers and 4 million Instagram followers is hardly a "D list celebrity." The kid can't go out in public without getting mobbed. The kid used to fly commercial with his family and it has turned into too much of a nightmare.
As I have shown with the videos I just posted, what I am willing to post of a famous actress posting about me in her Instagram, etc. shows I don't "post it here immediately." Hell, I have hundreds of pictures with artists on my Instagram - how many have ever been posted on here?
I'm credited as a producer on dozens of dozens of major artist records. Do you know who gets royalties in music? They go to a producer/composer/writer/artist/publisher. Why would BMI send me my "royalty statement notification" every quarter if I was "not credited with a single thing in the entire music industry," moron? You can't even get a royalty statement without having credits.
Hell, I am a voting member of the Recording Academy (the group that votes on the Grammys). In order to become a voting member, you have to have some sort of minimum credits on major label records as a writer, producer, publisher, engineer, vocalist, etc. These things are all verified and confirmed before anyone can even get through the first step of getting approved.
Besides my BMI representation, I also have a publishing company which is repped by ASCAP. They also send me royalties every quarter for my credits as a publisher. Then, I also get royalty statements/payments from individual record labels. Then, the independent labels (Strange Music, Top Dawg Entertainment with some artists, etc.) also send me the same thing, though they tend to do theirs bi-annually instead of quarterly.
And just like my screenshot of my BMI royalty statement notification, I can screenshot the others.
I am credited on records with over 30 major artists including Jay Z, John Legend, Nas, DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, Flo Rida, Kendrick Lamar, Jeezy, T-Pain, Juelz Santana, Meek Mill, Wale, Chris Brown, Tamar Braxton, Mya, Dondria, Amerie, Mary J Blige, Ace Hood, Backstreet Boys, Gorilla Zoe, Bubba Sparxxx, The Game, Trey Songz, Bun B, Mario, Lloyd, Plies, Fat Joe, Wyclef, Pusha-T, Lil Wayne, Styles P, French Montana, Rich Homie Quan . . . and more which I can't think of off the top of my head. In the near future, I should have more with Lauryn Hill, Austin Mahone, Tory Lanez, Machine Gun Kelly, Royce da 5'9 (and since he is best friends and frequent partners with him, hopefully Eminem).
I wouldn't know since I have never coached at that level, but there is an FCS coach who has songwriting credits for some fairly successful national country artists. There is also an FBS coach who has credits with MC Hammer, as he used to be a backup vocalist/dancer for Hammer on his tours and albums.
Your West Virginian life-long education is showing again. The lawsuit wasn't for $15,000. The suit had to be in a certain court because it was in EXCESS of $15,000. Hell, all of the reporters had it right by using the same line: " . . . both men are seeking over $15,000, though a specific amount is not cited."
The suit was for well over that amount and my payment was for well over that amount.
Wow. This is embarrassing. You don't even know the difference between "corroboration" and "collaboration." You were looking to use the latter of those two. They are similarly sounding but different meaning words. You truly aren't a very bright guy. Your grammar, as I have to routinely point out, is atrocious. Your vocabulary is just as bad. These threads show your logic skills to be just as appallingly poor.
That's pretty awesome. I have my own claim to stardom as well. Just two years ago, me and 3,200 other people were in the same building as The Nuge, when he performed at the Kalamazoo State Theatre. I'll see if I can find a video on youTube to support my claim. It might be dark, but you'll be able to see that it's me. I was sitting in Row FF, seat 11. Google a theatre seating chart if that will help you spot me.I stood beside Amy Mickelson beside the 14th green at the Memorial Tournament once..

No, but me and him both showed up wearing only a loin cloth.Was he still dodging the draft and claiming to be a warrior patriot?
Oh man, that was as good as I hoped it would be. No evidence other than a 10 year old picture taken with a toaster. And yes, corroboration was the word I meant to use. Everyone knows you’re not collaborating with these people, we’re just looking for a shred of evidence that you ever have.
If you’re as important as you claim to be, show one tweet or image from their social media of you. Just one from anyone.
I got into it with Usher and was nearly removed by security at a major theme park. True story. Didn't even know who the guy was. Pissed me off. Cut line because he was special. Well, I had dropped my hard earned money on it as well. About got real ugly. Got ugiler when I said I might as well get the bastards picture even though I don't know who he is. Tried to take my phone and said come and get it!
haaaaa haaaa
The music industry seems full of them. The leeches that suck lifetime royalties off the real creators and/or artists. Think about it. These folks claim to perform a service, and then want nonstop payments and “credit”. It’s like selling your home today and paying the plumber that snaked your toilet 5 years ago a cut of the sale price.
LOL, I was cracking up watching the Bubba Gump or whatever video. I think Rifle is akin to the Loch Ness Monster in trying to spot/find any evidence he exists in those videos.
There's got to be better evidence than that. I could take those same two videos and claim that I was in them and no one could prove otherwise, because you may as well have Ray Charles trying to spot me.
If you’re as important as you claim to be, show one tweet or image from their social media of you. Just one from anyone.

*yoree, your deciding to take the liarherdfan route and bullshit your way (in a comically bad way) out of having poor vocabulary.

Rifle… It’s pretty clear that he is saying that nobody can corroborate anything you’re saying on the other end of the spectrum… It’s only coming from you.
Also, I’m pretty sure anybody with half a brain understands the difference in the two words.
That's entirely different than the story you shared about it years ago. You claimed he had Disney security/police escorting him to the front of lines by using the exit path from rides since they are far easier to access than having to pass hundreds of people in small corridors waiting in the normal line.
There was never any mention of you almost getting kicked out of Disney, it being ugly, you trying to take his picture, then him threatening to take your phone and you saying "come and get it." In that case, you would have been able to take his picture since he obviously didn't take your phone, so where is the picture that you tried taking?
I play two instruments, and unlike you, neither of them are the skin flute.
I routinely have artists sending me or asking me to listen in person to their unreleased records for feedback.
Those are all things that creatives do. I get it - you have to slave away at your job and make yourself feel better by lying about all of the "experts" of every topic discussed on here who you lunch with. Not all of us have to do that.
It's clearly me in both of them. You can slow it down. Further, you can match up the clothing worn in the videos with the clothing I have on in pictures with both Mya and Tom/Bubba.
I intended on going year by year to show something Murox asked, but it was too easy to do with just the first twelve months by using two videos of me out to dinner/being asked if I was coming with them/in a music video, so I stopped at those two.
I don't have Twitter, so I don't see their Twitter pages. The only thing I would see is Instagram (only a fraction of whom I follow). When else do you see an artist post pictures on Instagram of the producers they are working with? Usually, it's the other way around. Hell, Taylor doesn't follow a single person on Instagram. Speaking of which, there are plenty of artists who follow me on there.
Nice job avoiding the dozens of pictures of me with artists on their buses, in their trailers, in their houses, videos/pics at dinner with them, at music video shoots, etc. "Anyone with a backstage pass could get those pictures." Yeah, try getting a backstage pass to a Jay Z concert. If by some miracle you have one, try getting within 30 feet of him with his security. If by some major miracle you are, try asking him to take a picture with you . . . repeat that same thing with any of the other hundreds of artists.
Liarherdfan, you have some competition! Now, you are so embarrassed by your own stupidity and lack of vocabulary that you're blatantly lying. This is what you said:
"There are no shout outs to you on twitter, no pictures of celebrities with you on their social media. All of the claimed corroboration comes from your end."
"Claimed corroboration" makes absolutely no sense in that sentence. I claim to corroborate with them? Why would we corroborate anything? I claim that we corroborate on what I do with them? Yeah, hold on, let me get Taylor Swift to sign up and post on HerdNation.
The word you clearly intended to use was "collaborate." You were calling me out for claiming I collaborate with them, and you were calling those collaborations into question.
I understand - your lack of intelligence regarding spelling and grammar has taken a beat down over the last few weeks on here, so much so that you've ignored the threads where you were mocked for it. But now, instead of doing the same, your deciding to take the liarherdfan route and bullshit your way (in a comically bad way) out of having poor vocabulary.
*yoreMy deciding what? “Your” clearly a retard for not knowing the difference between “you’re” and “your.”
All the shit he post and he wants me to find a picture I took of Usher from 5 years ago or something. Then, wants to debate my story. Hell, I know it because I was like well I screwed up now. There goes 5 grand when they kick me out of here. Why would I make a story up about Usher? Usher of all people?The “claimed corroboration” was just poor wording on my part. I was about to go workout and I was trying to collect myself from laughing at your Bigfoot videos of you and obscure celebrities from 5+ years ago. Corroboration is the word I meant to use though. Show evidence from ANYONE other than your doctored text message screen shots.

Yags,
That is what started the whole thing. We got bumped for some VIP. Turns out it was Usher. I was already ticked. It wasn't a "ride" like a coaster, but another attraction. I ran my mouth to security about. He came out they told everybody to get away and I said F it, I paid my money just like he did. Little pip squeak didn't want his picture taken. I said F it and took his picture a couple of times. Me and the security guys started jawing. He said he would have me thrown out and they would take my phone. I said come and get it. A few more words with the security guy. And then, it was over. Hell, I was close enough to that little dude, I could have almost touched him. That is what they got mad about. Told everybody to get away and not take pictures. I was F this. He walks in here with his group and bumps me and the family. Don't walk in here the King of England and not want your picture taken.
For the record, he is tiny.
Good lord. I will try to find the picture. I had a different phone then. Matter of fact another post that gets on here every now again saw the picture because I texted it to him.
His finger slipped, right rifle?
I definitely took a picture of Usher. It was behind Bay Lake Tower. That is what really escalated it. Not with Usher. Of Usher.
I put that on here. I remember writing about it. It is not like I said I screwed the Queen of England.Again, I am not doubting the picture as I am the story behind it. There is no way you would have failed to include this big confrontation in your original version of this story.
It would be like Murox making friends with three new foreign-born doctors and not letting us all know about it - it just doesn't happen.
I disagree. I think Murox would indeed let everybody know about it. Of course, he would do the logical thing and wait to do his tell all 36 years after the fact.It would be like Murox making friends with three new foreign-born doctors and not letting us all know about it - it just doesn't happen.

If I had been black I would have voted for ObamaObama was not very good for the negros. I bet the colored folk wouldn't vote for him now days, like they did in groves back in 2008.
I corrected three of your grammar mistakes last week in a 24 hour period. One was you being arrogant and attempting to call me out on the proper name for the G Wagen.
It’s easy to understand why you try to hard to convince people you’re successful.

It’s also interesting that you attempted to call Raleigh out for taking order from his boss when your boss is a low-level college football coach. I’m sure he rips your ass all the time and you can’t do anything but sit there and smile and say “yes sir.”
If I had been black, I would probably be married to some fat white chick.If I had been black I would have voted for Obama
You need a comma after "right." You're welcome.
Actually...
His finger slipped. Right, rifle?
You need a space after the "y" and then between each of the dots in the ellipsis.
My way is perfectly acceptable. You need to argue with murox a little more.
