Just back from the City. A wonderful celebration of life. I know these are days old, but posting for those interested.

Bob would have enjoyed this tribute. So good to be with the tribe at this time.

I've always considered this my "Bus Pass".
I take a small amount of solice, in the fact that I got to see Bob so many times, and I will always be grateful to to have seen the GD 60th's in Golden Gate Park, and the applause of a lifetime for Bob and Mickey at the end of night three.
Fare The Well!

To be clear.......
War is not Peace.
I do not endorse nor support this nonsensical stupidity!
I post this on the 3rd day of a new year, knowing it will be a relevant statement each and every day for the next 3 years.

Review of Newspeak creep from last year:
It has been, and will always be:

The Gulf of Mexico
The Department of Defense
The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Thank you for your attention to this matter

If you've got this one in your collection........Lucky you! Just a reminder to break it out every now and again. To me this is some of his best solo work, and even if not, it just hits right sometimes.

FYI: For all the Billy Strings fans, (and ones about to become fans)The Tiny Desk Concert just dropped his session today. These are photos from the High Sierra Music Festival in 2017. Note, first pick has no one up front, and the second is from his Doc Watson Workshop.

My Black Friday wish...
Looking forward to the day the WWEification of our government comes to a stop. It's not useful, productive or entertaining. It's just embarrassing.

Happy Birthday to Neil Young!,
This man's songs have been the background for many of my (and others) life's adventures. Here he is at 78 years old, doing one of my favorite cover's he does.
Thank You Sir!
Long May You Run! !https://youtu.be/9k-49rjue9o

Checking in -- Last night just outside Chico (phone pic)

The Scarlet/Fire @ GD 60 was a monster!
IYKYK

RIP Ozzy!
One of the best shows I've ever seen.
Van Halen on first tour was opening act.
Sabbath not to be outdone by some kids, came out blasting! What a show!
Still remember Sweat Leaf for the encore.
Ozzy is, and will always be legendary!

Is it ironic, or Orwellian, that we find out about the consequential bombing of Iran, on a niche social media app called "Truth Social", that is responsible for volumes of disinformation?

SO Proud of my community, got to exercise my right with one of my sons and my grandson (his 2nd protest)

Heading out to NO Kings!!
Peaceful non violent protest is a right!
The 4th largest economy in the world, does NOT need to be liberated by a convicted felon with multiple bankruptcies.
Our numbers will be loud!!

First Pale Bock of the Season, so seems appropriate to raise this glass for NORM!!, a man who brought me many smiles. Many great lines... but
"It's a dog eat dog world out there, and I'm wearing milk bone underwear" has to be one of the best

Proud to spend time with my grandson yesterday at Hands Off Chico. Got to show him what community, civil disobedience and "Good Trouble" looks like. Introduced him to stories about great Americans, including John Lewis and Cory Booker. It was a great day!

Just a reminder....
Newspeak is a thing. George was just off by 40 years (41 technically, but if you want to quibble over that, you missed the point)
