30 Years Ago: Bruce Hornsby Plays His First Grateful Dead Show

Seems like yesterday. I think Hornsby brought musical elements back to the Dead that hadn’t really been around since Keith died…and then drove them higher. He was no Pig Pen, but the first time he sat in with the band, he seemed like he belonged there, riding along on the bus to never-everland.

Hanging Tree Guitars: The Wood’s ‘Not Good, Not Bad, Not Ugly – Just Strange’

Freeman Vines is an African American luthier who creates what have been called “contemporary art sculptures hidden as guitars” out of old wood, some of it from a tree used for a lynching.

Why Dee Snider Had ‘Trepidation’ in Twisted Sister’s Early Days

Twisted Sister was one of the first 18+ shows I ever saw. It was 1978 or 79 I guess, so I was 16 or 17 at the time, back when IDs were paper and had no photos. Twisted Sister had played Glen Island Casino in New Rochelle, NY before, and been banned from playing there. But…for some reason, the club rescinded the ban and let them play the show. Zebra opened for them I think…though that might’ve been a different show I got really wasted at. Who knows?
Anyway, long story short…I got really wasted and Twisted Sister rocked the bar…and got banned again, (this time I think forever) and then went on to become a household name instead of a NY Area metal band that got kicked out of almost everyplace they played.
Fuck the critics and censors. Live your own music.

Trump again targets Fox: ‘They totally forgot who got them where there are’

#FoxNews is NOT News and should be banned from calling itself “News”.
OR… they COULD try standing up to Trump’s bullying and embrace actual journalism.

Portland protesters are finding new ways to stand up to federal agents

“We came out here dressed in T-shirts and twirling Hula-Hoops and stuff, and they started gassing us, so we came back with respirators, and they started shooting us, so we came back with vests, and they started aiming for the head, so we started wearing helmets, and now they call us terrorists,” Mac Smiff, a local Black organizer in Portland, said. “Who’s escalating this? It’s not us.”

BP CEO Calls Plan to Lay Off 10,000 Workers the ‘Right Thing’

The RIGHT thing would be to strip executives of salary, bonuses and perks, using the money to keep as many jobs for as long as possible as fossil fuels are fizzling in favor of an actual future for humans…but it’s not as if anyone is living under delusions of oil companies, BP in particular, doing ‘the right thing’.

CNN reporters covering Minnesota riots arrested live on-air

I truly don’t understand what the fuck the MPD was thinking, arresting a CNN reporter, with valid ID, while broadcasting LIVE ON THE AIR. It’s clearly a First Amendment violation to arrest journalists who are fully cooperating while covering the protests. Given the track record of Minneapolis’ Finest with people of color, should we assume some racism here? Yup. That or Trumpian cops who want to punish ‘fake news CNN’?
Both maybe.

One Family, Out Of 88,000 – News & Guts Media

Mr. Trump wants us to think of them as numbers. Acceptable losses.
But these are PEOPLE. GOOD people, who didn’t ask for this suffering. Almost 90,000 American families are mourning the loss of loved ones, cherished humans. But our President doesn’t understand, empathize, or give a fuck. They are just bad numbers he doesn’t like.
Because for Donald Jerkoff Trump, it’s all about convincing you he’s doing a good job. As our friends, family and neighbors are taken away in body bags and unemployment is soaring, he’s leveraging PPE and Federal relief funding, playing state Governors against each other for political advantage.
Why? Because he doesn’t care about anyone, unless it benefits Trump & Associates. It’s not a win unless profits are made and/or favors are owed him. The Donald is not president of America, just the repulsive Don of the corporate interests he colludes with, and the 27% of the population that might vote for him again in November, most of them out of fear.
I’ve seen a bunch of corruption in the Oval office in my 50+ years as a thinking human. LBJ and the Vietnam war. The Nixon coverup. Iraq lies of Bush and Son and the whole Afghanistan mess they got us into. Reagan’s puppeteers, as he slept through much of his second term. The Clinton machine and the lives it destroyed.
A LOT of shit has gone down in the last half century. But never in my lifetime have we had a president with so little compassion for Americans and so much disdain for the rule of law, The Constitution…and common fucking decency. So little empathy, so much ego. And so easy to read…sometimes I wonder why ANYONE believes his cons. Is everyone blind, or just corrupt as fuck and complicit? Or just afraid? Trump lives on fear, and if you’re voting for him, he’s probably preying on yours.
