Cassi Creek: Climate
change, right here in River City
That starts with T, which rhymes with C, and that stands for…. Those of you who know the lyric can apply your own ending to this line. In conjunction with Toles fine cartoon, it seems appropriate to add another voice.
(note – this is the final performance of this song by the
Grateful Dead. 10 July 1990. Brent Mydland died of an overdose 19 days
later.)
From another retrospect:
Last night we went to a performance by Caravan of Thieves. I highly recommend this band
http://caravanofthieves.com/
Their first set was a very nice cover of the entire Sgt
Pepper’s album. Tremendous energy, had
the crowd in their hand from the first note.
Midway through the set, I looked behind me and got an impossible to prevent flash of the
stereotypical PBS pledge drive programming with gray-headed boomers singing
along to an aging reunion band. Couldn’t
shake the image but there were no commercials asking for money.
The 2nd set was high energy and mostly their
compositions. They play outside the
lines, know how to flow or jerk from one song into the next. Their instrumentals are fun and acoustic
based. The sound was well dialed in and
I found nothing to lament or complain about other than the desire for one more
set.
Turned 66 today.
Wow! It’s a long strange trip
from “don’t trust anyone over 30.”
Gloria, thank you for the best years of my life and the
better ones to follow!
