Allman Brothers 1975 at the Savannah Civic Center in Savannah, GA. I was 13 at the time & instigated the entire incident, likely after seeing an ad in the paper. We were in town visiting our maternal grandparents. The only concert I attended with all my siblings. I also kept my ticket stub.

One of my favorites. I first heard it on Skeletons From the Closet. It wasn’t until many years later I learned it had first appeared on Ace, Bob Weir’s debut solo album, essentially a Grateful Dead record as he was backed by his bandmates.

Pretty sure this was my last time seeing Bob Weir (or any of the other surviving members of the Grateful Dead for that matter). The Dead was the only other post-Grateful Dead incarnation I saw of the band besides The Other Ones. A friend offered me a free ticket to see Dead & Co. once but I passed.

Me: make it abundantly clear that I want to get out of retail.
Friends: suggest jobs working in retail.

This Xmas present from a family member arrived today. The trestle is among the 1st places I visited during my 1st trip to Athens in 1994.

I know shoes flung over power lines have varying degrees of meaning. What this means, I have no idea.

I miss posting photos such as this and people knowing who the folks in the photo are. Not here.

Among the first 5 albums I owned as a kid in the 70s. Seminal, foundational, formative. I never tire of it & still listen to it at ear blistering volume.

I’m 63, have never found my calling in life and soon, will be homeless. I’m hoping for death, that it comes soon and swiftly.

whiteboard at my work where the question is who is your favorite band (or singer). those who know me should have no trouble guessing mine.

@ethank.bsky.social pulled the plug on Murmurs not long after @remhq.bsky.social disbanded in 2011. He revived it several years ago with many members flocking to the site to check in. Most didn’t stay. It still survives with maybe a dozen or so regulars.

A prime example of R.E.M stretching it out & taking you away to some otherworldly place in concert in a way only they could do. I haven’t listened to this recording in decades. I taped it off of WRDU way back when. The majority of the show was released in 2018.

“The ocean is your girlfriend.”
Words from a friend who knew me when I went to the ocean every day no matter the weather. I would even pass up time with one of my dearest friends for time with the ocean. My time with the ocean has been essential in healing from deep emotional scarring.

I am now pondering who the best swearers in music are
December 26, 2025 at 7:24 PM
I strongly disagree. Though I’m in a different headspace now, back in 2023 when my world was unraveling, I found solace in sad songs. So much so, I’m fully convinced they helped pull me through.
