Genx coughed so GenZ could also cough, but in a different way.

Are they doing hootie, Crowes, and rem tunes all night?

Huh! I'll have to hit that run some day. It's a strange thing to think of Jorma as a great Jewish songwriter (rather than Finnish bluesman). So interesting that JA was much bigger in the earliest days but the GD had the legs. Hits vs. nonstop tour horse. Which, of course, Hot Tuna became.

Yes! It's been a while, but I first read it during that time, and I felt like it helped me to understand where that flavor of rough frontier justice -- or "justice" -- came from in Cheney. And how the murder of Matthew Shepard emanated from that bleak land. Brokeback Mountain is in that collection.
