Saint Luke's Drifters 

Nashville has been turning out the same ole crap for years. With the exception of a few new acts like The Zac Brown Band, and Saint Luke's Drifters. SLD is a high energy band with deep hillbilly roots and a punk twist. They have a groove that gets your feet moving. You get reminded of what music used to be before computers. This is real human created music that you can't ignore. These guys are going to be a turning point for Nashville, and it is about time.

sunburned drifters with soapsud beards 

You know, it's that thing when a hobo becomes a rich man, so they take the big bubble bath.

Defined by Bill Hader as Stefon on Saturday Night Live.
You can find sunburned drifters with soapsud beards in NY's hottest club, Crease.
A person, with no real place to call their home. They wander from place to place, sometimes looking for something. Sometimes becuase its the only way to get away from everything that made them become drifters in the first place. We all have our reasons for it.

Drifters move from place to place...once their problems catch up to them, or they've had what fun they can get out of the place they are at, they move on again. They are but simple wanderers, for whatever reasons they have to be one.

Some consider them bottem feeders, just wasting everything from everyone else. Hobo's are often considered drifters. They may be homeless, but hobo's can't get around, or rely on themselves, thus they go to homeless shelters. A drifter may not have a home, but they are self reliant. They live alone, and have to rely only on themselves.

Only when they find a reason to stay somewhere, will they no longer be a drifter.
"Maybe I'll just disappear again. Too many people, and too many problems. And I can't do anything to help."

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
