Well damn. Now I'm losing count of the Woodstock clones, a sure sign of approaching/arrived oldish age. Ok. Old age. Dammit. Thanks. I shall embrace my resentment then.

Divorce lawyer here. If he will lie about the little things, especially after you've had some time with him for him to be truthful, he will lie about the big things. Counterpoint: confront him with the lie to see if there is a reasonable explanation and be forceful about setting boundaries that include honesty but be…

Mine always said he likes me but wouldn't want me for a neighbor. I'm not sure what to make of that.

Yep. Called my father-in-law to tell him happy birthday. He started complaining about gay marriage passing. The next thing you know a man will be suing to marry a sheep. I laughed and told him to just stop. My son, from a previous marriage, is gay, which he knows. Sigh.

Haha. We’ve been running into each other today. Everyone has been or is where you are now. I have been more than once. I’m having a loser weekend, month and more as my mate works in another state. My ex dumped me a week before Christmas many years ago. It’s ok to have sob stories. Own them, because at some point life…

Van Morrison. Another National Treasure

Love Randy Newman. National treasure.

And my dogs. Cat’s gone. Mate’s gone for awhile. No friends. Just work. Being a grown up is so haaaaard.

British?

Came back to add my thanks. I now have that song worming through my head, which it apparently will do until I sleep and my brain resets or something. Thanks!

You are starred. I'm not sure whether they are appearing as they disappear when I leave the page. I!m cursed. Thanks for yet more Jimi. I always look for these posts.

And I never minded standing in the rain. Which is a good thing, because here in Tennessee, we are looking at rain on and off through Monday. Fireworks right into the clouds, maybe fired from beneath an umbrella.

Best country song ever written!

Cash spoke with both authority and emotion. He is sorely missed here in Tennessee. Thank you for the post. Great poem.

Thanks for the article, Be-bop. Just got back from reading it. It was a good deconstruction of the variations that some might not realize were with purpose. You are a true and great fan. I appreciate your info.

King Crumson. Starless. I am. A trippy band I believed somewhat underrated but also an acquired taste. Don't know what you think of them but they were a great fit in a certain frame of mind.

Great tune! They remind me of an older band I can't quite recall. An influence, not a copy. It's hurting my brain. Also, my stars disappear after I leave and return. I'm walking a familiar, dimly lit path. Dammit.

I almost posted that. Don't know why I didn't. Maybe vague resentment of the milenial Woodstck? Jk. Great post. And, yeah. Taken too soon. Seemed a gentle soul, though, admittedly, I don't know much about him.

Two weeks and counting. I shall be joining the fold, brother.

Definitely smug. There's a place 49 minutes down the road that smokes the best damn brisket , Texas style in rural Tennessee, that I've ever had. People drive from all over to stop in. That said, I'm gonna give it a shot. Soon. Thanks for the walk through.
