Currently, my favorite Dicks Picks are:
12, 15, 28, 29, 31 and 36.

I think those, along with American Beauty, Working Man's, Reckoning, and Without a Net would be Grateful Dead 101. The list I gave is probably 201.
I'd drop Without a Net from the curriculum, and replace it with a viewing of the Dead movie.

Europe 72 is a great place to start. That album and Live/Dead were my launching points.

There's another Mark Hamill quote from another video on youtube saying:
"It's only a movie. And if you think you're going to go into the movie and recapture your childhood, you're setting yourself up for disappointment."

^ My sex life isn't what it used to be, but on the bright side I have a snow blower that vibrates like hell...

Sure, maybe they do. And? So?
You're asking me to compare the impact of watching Last Jedi at 48 years old, versus watching Star Wars when I was 7.
I don't enjoy watching Star Wars now. I think it's slow.
I've tried watching Force Awakens a second time, but lost interest. I did enjoy it when I saw it originally. I also enjoyed Last Jedi.
Rogue One is the one I've been able to enjoy watching multiple times. I think it might be my favorite Star Wars movie of all, but I'm not willing to nudge it ahead of Empire Strikes Back.

dammit.

Yeah, I get it. I think the people who get pissed at movies for not meeting their expectations (I hate the Lord of the Rings movies...) should take a deep breath and a step back.
Was the new Star Wars a kick in the balls to you? I guess so. I'm sorry for that.
I loved the fact that Rey's parents were nobodys (and I hope they stick with that). I loved the kid at the end, who force grabbed the broom. That kid is me, in the summer between 1st and 2nd grades, seeing the first Star Wars movie.
If you want more Han Solo, guess what - there's a whole new franchise for that. Will the new Han Solo shit be as good as Harrison Ford's take? Probably not.

Yeah, they're fucked in 2018. Or not. People tend to re-elect their own idiots, but hate everyone else in politics.

Yeah, that is a good one. Here's a kinda freaky one. Part of the reason Healy was canned, I've read, for stuff like this:
https://archive.org/details/gd89-05-07.sbd.gardner.3329.sbefail.shnf/gd89-05-07d3t03.shn
But he was part of the crew until '93, right?
I'm trying to look up why he was fired, and answers range from burying Bob in the mix, to not making Sting loud enough, to being a junky...

Anybody else, who were fans of the original trilogy, feel like this newest go-around of 3 episodes is a big middle finger to fans of the original trilogy?
No, that's what the prequel trilogy was. Specifically midichlorians.
We saw Han die un-heroicly, without fight
And how did Obi-Wan die again?
Luke, Leia and Han Solo were in the original three. Let the next generation get theirs.

Last night, it was "Wind River". Slow but moving. Renner can convey a lot of emotion without saying a word.
Rented this last night. Really slow. At least they gave us a nice buns shot from Olsen.

^^Star Wars?

I signed up for it, but I got email earlier stating that I was put on a wait-list. Honestly, I didn't think the demand would be that high - I guess it is good for the two that it is.
Onto 12/14/80 - another decent show. Great Loser - the drums/space has been great during this run, too -----.Drums/Space with Airto Moriera and Flora Purim - really cool stuff.
Check your inbox. I just sent you my code, which was sent this morning. It's for the 3/10 show.
I'm not going to use it. As far as I know, I'm not on a wait list (never got such an e-mail)

The Donovan lyrics astutely predict a minor plotline in Game of Thrones.

Can’t spell Alobama without Obama?
I’ll sit down...

Tinnitus - do you know the woman who was kicked by Homme?
Have you ever had to deal with such an experience?

Saw Wonder over the weekend.
I wonder if it's too late for Owen Wilson to transition to a haircut that isn't "5th grade skateboarder"

Fans of Stranger Things might be interested in this:

Michelle Bachman, duh.
Former Minnesotan here. Keith Ellison would be ideal.
They don’t want a Wendell Anderson shitshow to play out again. I have a story about him. Old guy was an old school poon hound. In the early aughts, I was invited to his house to watch one of the Gore/ Bush debates with some classmates. He was on one of my classmates like stink on a monkey. Like openly. He was all hands. And she couldn’t escape because she was in a wheelchair! He kept on offering to take her on a tour of the house, which she would roll her eyes at.
She wasn’t uncomfortable, and it wasn’t awkward but all of us were like “whoa dude, slow your roll!”

I know a lot of hardcore Dylan fans think it's one of his worst,
That's nuts.
My only complaint is that they didn't bring in David Hidalgo for the video. (he played the accordion in this recording)

Looks like Al Franken is going to resign tomorrow.
Fucking shame, but it's clear that he had a pattern of inappropriate and inexcusable behavior towards women.

Tonight I'm going to watch the documentary of the concert the Grateful Dead (smartly) backed out of, 48 years ago today.
The Last Jedi with SPOILERS!

Just wanted to point out that Vyvyan from The Young Ones had the first line of spoken dialogue in The Last Jedi. Would have loved a cameo from Neil and Mike the Cool Person. RIP Rik Mayall.
