    Hey Hey My My

    Happy birthday Neil Young. Just bought tix for a showing of his Harvest Time movie, at a local independent theatre. I love supporting the independents, anyways. They are in it for the love of film, not lucre.

    I've been an unlicensed psycho-naut for 50+ years....

    And didn't need any voter-approved measures to grasp the therapeutic value of psychedelics. Nor did the many who participated before me. Yet it's invariably good when society catches up with reality. Looking back, I could not in good conscience recommend large doses of LSD for adolescents -- in my case, it was rough going there for a while, but I rode it out over the years and, now, six decades later, I am indebted to psychedelics for spiritual renewal over more than three-quarters of my life. I moved away from using psychedelics at, say, Dead shows, because the crowds and loud music require a certain level of coping, which inevitably provides benefits, yet also requires ignoring more subtle aspects of the experience. (Still, feeling Phil's bass in my chest as a purple warmth was really cool...) Instead, I head solo into the backcountry to trackless high desert and roam all day ... but never at such a high dose that I cannot orienteer my way back to the truck, where a guitar, spleef and stiff drink always await. Last fall, an antelope in Disappointment Draw trotted up and clearly asked me, in one syllable, "Where is my herd?" Not knowing how to reply, I simply kept finger-picking and the antelope cocked its head slightly, obviously listening, and stayed silently and immobile for maybe 15 minutes, then trotted off.

    I have no point. Just a few thoughts on a sunny, cold, Saturday morning. Best of luck and good health to PT and all, and Crow -- way to go on the flyinig saucer retort. At one point I had normal-seeming, sweet neighbors who looked after me when my marriage hit the rocks, and one night they confided that they'd seen the "Mother Ship" hovering over their house. I became acutely aware of all my tiny facial muscles and sought to maintain a neutral look while I reeled inside. The thing is, maybe they did see it. Those Navy pilots are seeing and measuring the presence of somethin'...

    ...."Bruuuce!"
    That's what I remember hearing when they took the stage in Vegas '91.

    Bruce Hornsby Show

    Bruce Hornsby was saying tonight there were some unusual requests to play, including “Dark Star”, which brought some applause and chuckles from BH. He finally did a line or two acapella, and that was as close as we got to the Dead portion of Bruce’s show. As I suspected, without his band he is “Bruce Jarrett”, jazzy and kind of all over the place, but funny and irreverent, and an unbelievable keyboard player. If only Jerry could have beat the dragons, Bruce would have hung around, and recorded with the Dead, and who knows what might have come of that. At the very least, IMHO, he would have been the best keyboardist they ever had, bar none.

    No. Seriously. Gen Z showed up.
    Progressive activist Maxwell Alejandro Frost, 25, will officially become the first Gen Z member of Congress after winning his race to represent Florida's 10th Congressional District.
    Nice.
    The Larkin Poe Blood Harmony is amazing!! Next up? A Black Crowes EP of covers from 1972.
    They are coming back here in Feb. As is Three Dog Night and Umphrey's McGee. No shows on my radar until then. February is going to be cool.
    $70 average price per show, so that's cool too.
    Going to Three Dog Night with my sister and I's babysitter from way back in the day. She watched us and my mom watched her kids. Our families ended up being really close. Even to this day. She tried to turn me onto awesome music when I was 12. I didn't get it then but I do now. And she appreciates great sound.

    PT and Nappy

    Sorry to hear that, PT, but my best to you! And Nappy, I'm glad to hear you've been well so long after quite the scare! I made a plug on here for colonoscopies a while back, but I'll do so again. Not that big a deal, folks, compared to what you COULD end up going through . . . just had my first at age 51 about a year ago.

    Here in MN (and especially in the Twin Cities) things usually go well for the major party that has some members who don't fear drugs, and there was a slight surprise in the election results the other day that should mean legalized weed here in about a year or so. There already was this weird bill that went down out of the blue in the summer that got us some Delta 9 products, but the real deal would be appreciated, even if no one in authority in the Twin Cities has bothered anyone about weed for quite some time. Minneapolis has an ordinance that no law officer should arrest anyone who is using, so I believe at the moment about the most that might happen to you if you were seen smoking in that town is that an officer might walk over, ask you to stop, and suggest that you go somewhere a little more private.

    Be kind, rewind . . .

    Greensky Bluegrass

    From Michigan indeed. I remember seeing them before they were big with about twenty people at Founders Brewery, before they too went big. If I recall correctly, it was the following summer Greensky won the amateur competition at Telluride. And the rest, as they say, was history. And guess what! Same story with Billy Strings about ten years later, only at that point Founders was rising up in the ranks.

Your collection probably needs the Fleetwood Mac ‘Worlwide Live’ unofficial Box.
10 CD’s for $40.
8 Fleetwood Mac CD’s ranging from 1968 at the Carousel to 1990, along with a Stevie solo and a Lindsey solo.
Sounds pretty good. The only show that I already had was the 75 show. FM/pre-FM sources.
I figured that for $4/CD I should check it out.

Speaking of 69.. Banana box? Holy Cow 43 was good, 44 is up on deck. We live in the valley of riches, but of all the releases the last few years the 69 was the big surprise. I'll take a double dose of that any day.

I popped in the giants stadium 7/12, and it gets me every time. The whole first set like HIAB, loser, and TOS. the band was firing on all cylinders, especially Jerry and Brent with that tinkling keyboard is so sweet. Being there for most of the shows makes me bias. Just had to mention it. Back to dap 44. Great show.

If I could pick only one Grateful Dead show to see out of all the shows they played, it would be one of the acoustic/ electric shows from 1970.

Another one. Yikes! It's everywhere now.
And not a mask in sight.
Take it easy PF.
My local friend took a week. His wife like 10 days.
And they were just ready to get their bi-valent (Omicron+Corona).
I went and found the bi-valent (still scarce here) right after that.
Full effect around third week after booster, so about now for me.
But we are still doing masks in crowded stores since we have some COPD.
Best wishes and cheers

I purchased Dave's Picks 44, and it arrived as scheduled. The outer mailing box was punctured, and when I opened it, little pieces of plastic starting falling out. The CD case was broken. When I opened that, I discovered that CD3 was chipped and cracked. Today I listened to CD1 and discovered that it was defective. Tennessee Jed > Promised Land does not play. Anyone else have this problem? I have not listened to CD2 yet. I contacted customer service, and I learned that there were no replacement CDs available. Defective merchandise can be returned for a full refund. I am hoping that someone would be willing to email me digital copies of those songs that I am missing so that I can at least have the complete show. As I said, songs 1-7 on CD1 are fine. Songs 8>9 are defective. I haven't tried playing CD2, and CD3 is no good at all. Can somebody please help me out? Thank you!

Send a PM to MaryE.

In case you haven't sent a PM before: To send a PM, if you are logged in, on the upper right of the screen are your account options, cleck here, select messages and you can probably figure out how to send a PM from here. either that or fumble through customer service. They can probably pull something better than a refund off..??

Edit: Ooops.... Proudfoot beat me to this by a couple hours. I didn't see his response before I replied. Apparently, he and his dog have been eating mushroom chocolates all day and have developed super human powers as evident by their lightening fast and accurate response.

My dog Sarge, the brindle bull Mastiff had cancer, and was put down tonight. 14 years old. He was a loyal companion. "He's gone."

Condolences Carlo13.

I'm pretty certain that Sarge was very happy to have had you around with him for 14 special years. You took good care of him and now he has an opportunity to rest. You provided space in this world for him and that is a special love that was returned.

Stay strong and stay positive.

Carlo - Sorry to hear you had to put to sleep your beloved dog companion Sarge. Such a tough loss.

Sorry to hear about your loss Carlo, losing a pet is very sad.

Putting down a faithful companion may be the hardest thing you'll ever do in this life. This from an animal person who put down his 20-yr-old cat earlier this year. The day-to-day intimate and often subconscious connection is nearly unbreakable. And yet... mercy requires courage and acceptance. This will be hard in the days ahead. I survived by focusing on the blessing and cosmic luck of the years together and the realization, which does not come easy, that "there's nothing you can hold for very long," thanks Robert Hunter.

You did good for fourteen years and your departed buddy would wish you peace. As do we.

Condolences Carlo. So sorry Sarge's glorious 14 year run with you had to end. How lucky you both have been! As hard as it is to put down our four-legged companions when the time comes, they count on us to do the right thing to the very end. My 12 year old brindle Mastiff mix Annie is recovering from knee surgery, and I know her day will come sooner than later. I'll shed tears, but know she's counting on me. It's sad that dogs' and cats' lives are so much shorter than ours, but they sure do pack a lot into their time with us. Onward

I have had pets (dogs & cats) since 1965. It occurred to me years ago, that when I sign up to take a new animal (I call them my children, as I have no human children), we are implicitly signing up for an unknown time period of joy, and also, some days of grief & sadness. To me, this is still a good deal, but it makes the heartbreak no less painful or intense. I don't ever want to live without the unconditional love of a cat or dog, so I go in knowing the deal. I believe my life is always better with the love of a quadruped.

So, to Carlo, VGUY and everyone else who has lost a "child" recently, you have my total empathy and sympathy.
Carlo, as long as you remember Sarge, he's never really totally gone.
My 2 are 13 (redhead) and 7 (tuxedo) so 1 may go soon or not, but one piece of advice that was given to me was: "always allow 6 months to grieve before getting a new one".
By the way, I have not always taken this advice, but it does make sense to me.
