Hi. In 1969, I took Dana Burroughs to see Paul & Art somewhere in Ft. Worth, Will Rogers maybe. I wore a tie and a three piece suit. It was my first concert. I saw Dana a few years ago and sorry to report she's looking rough and talking crazy just like her liberal friends. Yep, she's divorced and lonely. Her ex is/was a member of The Band. Still crazy after all these years.
I only saw them once, one of the reunion tours, 1983 I believe, at the Cotton Bowl.
It rained during much of the concert, but luckily I'd stopped at the old Wal-Mart in Grapevine and bought ponchos for our party (should've bought a case and could've recouped the cost of the tickets).
It was a good show, largely along the lines of the Central Park playlist, and Paul brought out his new bride (at that time), Carrie Fisher.
Big shout out to our new president and his lovely VP. The future looks bright with Joe & Kammie! Free stuff for everybody!
You been smokin' some strong stuff with the Shaman if you really believe that... 😲
I'm throwing a head fake.
Clearly.
We'd also like to welcome the newest member of Biden's transition team, the COVID-19 virus! Let's all give her a warm round of applause. Rumor has it COVID-19 is going to be the new Travel and Leisure Secretary. In other news, blue is the new official White House color.
Don't make fun of me. I want my free stuff. I need it.
Will Biden cancel the pandemic hysteria once inaugurated? A good friend of mine, about your age, is an unrepentant mostly liberal democrat. Prior to C-19, he was captain of our game team (and lead beer drinker) at the local pub.
Since the shutdowns, he will not attend game night, although the pub has limited patron density, and there is not much come-and-go traffic. He does frequent the big box retailer, and told me the other day that he refilled his growler at the pub.
He told me the other day he'd rejoin us when he's been vaccinated (over the summer, he said he wouldn't take a vaccination if DJT recommended it, but I guess the winds have shifted...).
Anyway, we've soldiered on, and just last night, came in 1st place for perhaps the 4th time since he's been AWOL. So, our team's performance hasn't been compromised.
Hey, I get that. I don't feel entitled to free stuff - I'm proud to work for a living. But if free stuff comes my way, I won't look the gift horse in the mouth. There's a few Ebay items I've been watching...
Oh man, that was tongue in cheek. You know I'm not a material guy -- what I should have spelled out is that most people want free stuff because they're lazy and full of desire. They want stuff without regard to the consequences. What's the average attention span of IQ 100 without throwing in something shiny? Too much money come too quick turn a good man bad.
I think we're on similar pages. With the stimulus giveaways, it appears that the Ds and Rs alike are nearing the end stage - although it's gone on for years - of de Tocqueville's observation/prediction: "It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury."
