Father, poet, teacher, Mets, Knicks, fishing enthusiast, James Joyce, Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, jazz, rock etc. Nonviolence. Trying to live contemplatively and peacefully with my spirit.
Post a pic of the venue where you saw your first concert and a pic of the band. Probably July 1983.
A San Francisco band, but not the more well known San Francisco band I would see more than any other band during the 1980s.

I may have seen Bob Weir live more than any other single musician! Loved him as the old shaggy dog and the middle aged rocker in the short shorts!

RIP Bobby

Everything nowadays has a survey, which I find pretty obnoxious. If I filled out all the surveys for all the Christmas gifts I ordered, doctor’s visits I made, events I attended and so forth, I would spend my entire day filling out surveys. So I pretty much don’t fill out surveys. #resistance

Cornelius Eady, a National Book Award finalist, will read an original poem at Zohran Mamdani’s swearing-in as mayor of New York City on Thursday. Read an excerpt from “Proof,” the poem he wrote for the ceremony. trib.al/i0Uhwxr

I urge folks to purchase the music of this group who withdrew from their New Years Eve performance at the Kennedy Center as an act of protest. All artists need support, especially those who act on conscience. Buy albums. Attend live shows. #music

Getting lots of nature pictures in my feed. Not sure if that is my algorithm or if that is simply what is going on on Bluesky these days. Either way I like it! #nature #photography
