Great post, Meggles, and I'm sorry for your loss. (I lost my big brother when I was the age you are now, so...I can relate, in a way). Peace & be...
YES! Absolutely agree, on these. I also dig Ole Coltrane quite a bit. Also, the album he cut with Johnny Hartman in '63 is outstanding. That one...
He doesn't get many mentions, as far as I can tell...definitely among the best there ever was. Any other fans here? I swear, his 'Live at...
Yeah, I was really sad when I heard about his dying. I never even owned that many of his albums, but...he's a legend, no question about that.
Many fine memories of playing that particular album, with the spring rains falling...wind and rain blowing through the leaves of the trees...and...
I wasn't alive for it (I was born in 1973), but I'm pretty sure most would agree that Haight-Ashbury, where it was born, was a pretty depressing...
I definitely wanted to catch it the first time it was on, but I didn't...I'll have to look for it. I saw him interviewed about it, just briefly,...
A violent history? I didn't really have that impression of the Dutch at all, unless you're talking about colonization & so forth...Africa, & south...
From Sacramento, by way of Eugene and Phoenix...I thought I had found her recently, but I think I was mistaken. I believe she spent some time at...
Right on, Ladywolf, and welcome. I know what you mean, about always feeling a little bit displaced! But this is a very cool community to be a...
Well, thank you. And bless you. :) Wow...anybody have any kind of rebuttal? It's been a few days... No? Nothing?? Excellent!
Absolutely...thank you for the thread, LotF. :) For this and a number of other reasons, I'm definitely voting for John Edwards, as long as he's...
I haven't read this whole thread, but I thought this was a good place to jump in. Only quoted the portion that I quoted here to say that abortion...
This is yet another old one (I've been sober for ten years now, so the very first line dates it by at least that much). Getting drunk on white...
This is flawed, just because I think it's sort of disjointed, but there are some sentiments in it that I still like. (And I'm not nearly as angry...
Maybe I'm not as well-read as the average two-year old dog. But I can talk in the same way I think because I've been thinking all my life. I am...
This is something I wrote in the middle of a considerable fixation I was having about Nikki Giovanni. I think there was more to it, at one point...
I wonder if there's another thread where this has been asked/mentioned, but I don't feel like searching too much, so... Does anybody else have a...
Same here... Of the ones listed in the poll, I'd say Shakedown, Fire, FOTD, and Ripple (in no specific order). But there are so many others!...
You don't have the wrong idea at all, no. It's just that they were a part of the original San Francisco scene in the mid 60s- the Dead, and...
