    I'll be at all the shows with my wife! Also just snagged tickets to one of the TWEEDY nights at Largo!

    See you both places, Dan! I've just gotten tickets for January 1st and 2nd...quite the brilliant start to 2022, with the Tweedy band on that great little stage.

    but the coming week will be FUN. 😊

     

    From L.A. and elsewhere, who'll be there? I'm so glad to resume careful live shows! 💜

    Where are you, Jay Bennett? World Premiere, BluRay release, New Trailer, and final Kickstarter

    Wilco friends, Wilco fans, if you find yourselves intrigued and able to support this kickstarter, I encourage you to do so! I have been lucky enough to see this poignant film and haven't been able to get it out of my head in the several months since. Filmmaker Gorman Bechard is a longtime Wilco fan, and pays beautiful tribute to Jay, and to his place in Wilco and beyond, without needing to disparage either side or rehash the difficult split from Wilco. In his deft hands, Jay's story is accurately and lovingly told. It left me fiercely missing Jay, his big heart, and his music.

    Support this if you can, and bring tissues when you get to see it. I was in helpless tears, a mingling of happy reminiscences and pangs of loss, by the end. So moving!

    All is good and dry at my house here in NJ.  Never lost power (so far). But I am fortunate to live on a mountain.  Surrounding highways were closed last night due to flooding.  News reports are horrific.  I am very, very fortunate to live in the exact spot where I live.

     

    I'm glad you're safe, Brownie! The news stories have been chilling!

    "White Wooden Cross" means a lot to me. First, I think it's one of the best Wilco tunes among the last few albums. But the lyrics also carry personal voltage: After my brother was killed in a car crash (a long time ago), a roadside memorial was erected and I can't hear this song and see its imagery without internalizing its meanings in very specific, raw-nerve ways.

     

    I remember when you lost him. I can imagine that this song is deeply personal for you. Hugs.

    "Rivers burn, and then run backwards..."

     

    Well, the river isn't burning but it IS running backwards! :blink

    From CNN:

     

    Mississippi River flow reversing due to hurricane "extremely uncommon," USGS says

    From CNN's Brandon Miller

    Storm surge and strong winds stopped the flow of the Mississippi River on Sunday near New Orleans and actually caused the flow to reverse – something the United States Geological Survey said is “extremely uncommon.”

    “I remember, offhand, that there was some flow reversal of the Mississippi River during Hurricane Katrina, but it is extremely uncommon,” Scott Perrien, a supervising hydrologist with the USGS Lower Mississippi Gulf Water Science Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, told CNN.

    Perrien noted that the river level rose about 7 feet due to the storm surge pushing up the river at the USGS gauge, located in Belle Chasse, about 20 miles south of New Orleans in southeastern Louisiana.

    “During that time, the flow of the river slowed from about 2 feet per second down to about half a foot per second in the other direction,” Perrien said.

    Perrien pointed out that the gauge does not measure the flow of the entire river, so it is possible that the deeper portions of the river did not reverse flow directions.

    “The river is feeling the effects of the storm over a large area,” Perrien said, “all the way up to Baton Rouge the river has risen 1.5 feet in the past 12 hours as the surge pushes up the river. And the water level will likely rise more in the coming hours here in Baton Rouge.”

    I loved Charlie dearly for his curmudgeonly attitude to the 'upstart' rock'n'roll compared to his beloved jazz, and his drum sound on Some Girls is one of my favourites.

    Found this on Wikipedia that's so funny if true

     

    One anecdote relates that in the mid-1980s, an intoxicated Jagger phoned Watts's hotel room in the middle of the night, asking, "Where's my drummer?" Watts reportedly got up, shaved, dressed in a suit, put on a tie and freshly shined shoes, descended the stairs, and punched Jagger in the face, saying: "Don't ever call me your drummer again. You're my fucking singer!"

     

    Charlie provided the backbeat to my youth. Thanks for a wonderful story about this class act!

    RIP Don Everly

    No one else started one by now - wow.

     

    Few things more beautiful in this world than an Everly Brothers harmony. Not enough harmonies around these days.

    And thanks for being part of the Beatles inspiration Don.

     

    I've been really ill the past week and a half or I would've...thank you for paying homage to this brilliant man! He may be physically gone to his reward, but left us all with the treasure-trove of his & Phil's music. That'll never die.

    Rest in peace, Don.
