A few months ago I bought tickets to see The Tedeschi Trucks Band tomorrow night at The Beacon Theatre in NYC.

Fuck Kevin Johnson and his dirtbag attorney for calling a 15-year GIRL a slut. And as for his attorney’s claim that he could “had more attractive offers” for guys like Johnson that’s just not what they want (eg: R Kelly).

That’s just the thing, isn’t it? He’s been able to skate past all these accusations of really heinous crimes (on top of other scandals related to his political and business dealings) without any serious repercussions for years and years, the way the rest of us might shrug off parking violations. It’s incredible and…

It’s a false equivalency that really only exists because of your cartoonish interpretation of what left-wing people are saying. It’s incredibly easy to find right-wingers who will decry any poor person taking a government “handout” as being a mooch but find me one prominent left-wing politician who advocates for…

Yeah I’m purchasing Neil And The Ducks recordings. I’m probably gonna browse Discogs over the weekend for Hendrix, Zeppelin, and others. I can focus my attention on that, since I’ve been buying a bunch of new albums that came out over the past month.

It said half the source is from the soundboard, the other is audience bootleg. Most songs are listed from 08/22/77 and as soundboard recordings. It’s been said that Neil supposedly has just about all the soundboard tapes from every show The Ducks played, but it doesn’t surprise me because Neil (and Jimi I bet) always…

Young’s contract at the time stated that while he was touring, Crazy Horse had to be his backing band, which forced Neil to either breakup The Ducks or continue playing within the city limits of Santa Cruz. He had hoped to keep that certain thing going longer at the time, but once the city newspapers got a hold of him…

So, I really like the lyrics. Does it make me shallow to say I also dig the vid? Cuz I do.

QUEEFCORE!

My favorite Bay Area thrashers ‘Exodus’ covered it on 1994’s Force Of Habit album.

‘Little Wing’ performed by “The Ducks”

Texano icon Selena covered it and titled it Fotos y recuerdos. Chrissie sang Rabo de Nube by Silvio Rodríguez for Selena in a Hard Rock Cafe show that I watched on VH1.

Drink water! If you’re going to stay up After Midnight, it’s good to be hydrated. Plus, hydrated people don’t end up sad and alone, like Eleanor Rigby. An important cautionary point.

I’m sorry for your loss. And, again, mourn and celebrate all those who died living a good life.

My grandfather passed away a few years ago from Alzheimer’s. He was a Yankee fan for most of his early life, but abandoned the team when Steinbrenner took over and tried to alienate Yogi Berra, who was his favorite player.

My great-aunt said the same after my gran’s funeral. She had been a widow for over 20 years and turned to my grandfather (her brother) and said “well, you just keep living because it’s better than the alternative”. That Grandfather died on Friday two weeks ago aged 98, at that point the alternative was no longer…

Sweet.
