Trust me, it's nothing personal (I don't even know her) about Ono, just her music. You're a bird enthusiast/ornithological-like chap, no? Why aren't you out there sticking up for the birds who's land has been compromised?

I'm a little put off that no bird enthusiasts (or at the very least environmentalists) are out there trying hassle them out of there with bird calls or Yoko Ono tunes into megaphones.

And in the end, no one but the self-entitled zealots really cares or thinks of him as a martyr. The sad and unfortunate part is that these folks are allowed to hole up somewhere on federal land and drain time, effort, and resources because of a warped concept that they are owed something that they are not. Didn't this thing start due to a couple ranchers being sentenced for arson on federal lands? I haven't followed it much but it just seems like a bunch of misinformed hicks with unintelligible or justifiable claims/wants/demands.

Dirty mindfulness....

Anyone been watching the new X-files mini-series? I caught parts of Sunday night's opener and, besides Scully aging very well, wasn't too impressed. Seemed like a lot of cliches and pretty weak dialogue. Just curious if anyone put more effort into it and if it's worth catching up on....

The rumors are that they've been in the studio working on a new album.....

How so?

"Tell Mike it was only business. I always liked him." Great scene.Here's a clip (with subtitles in German or Dutch or something!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d30Y0n1nDH4

No, I just get a kick out of Abe Vigoda and he'd, potentially, really liven the place up.

I'd have him taxidermied and keep him in my kitchen.

Yeah. He dressed as a wombat on stage while Phish played...."Wombat" on Halloween a couple years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-lmVFLeTbM

Listen, I know enough by now not to compete with cute baby pics or pics of Abe Vigoda on stage with Phish.

I still sleep like this.

September's coming soon. I'm pining for the moon.

Guns N' Roses: The Spaghetti Incident

Caught Terrapin Flyer last week w/ Melvin, John K, Mark Karan. Pretty good.

"Cold Rain & Snow," GD "Cold, Cold, Cold," Little Feat "Storm Windows," John Prine

I don't know about "seal(-ing) an envelope" with my 'taint, but if you've got a better way to sort my tax papers out, I'm all ears.

Paper cuts on the 'taint are the worst, too....

What about terrorists?

There's a kickstarter to help build and maintain the Studs Terkel archive: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1038252771/building-the-studs-terkel-radio-archive-online-col

There's a Studs Terkel Radio Archivist amongst us, actually....

Remember the blizzard of '78? I believe Ella Grasso shut down the state for 3-4 days. I still have pics of me and my brothers sledding off a barn roof into snow drifts from that one....

What if your mom was Nancy Grace?

Who's Nick Jonas? Winter storm Jonas? Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats are on the first day, I believe. These guys have blown up since their debut album last year. Already headlining Red Rocks this summer....Great album, too...
