Only 81? He was old when I was a kid and I'm old now!

Didn't they halt Medicaid and Medicare payments for telehealth, then private insurance followed?

I'll go along with that since The Minutemen's Ain't Talkin Bout Love is the better one.

Had a hankering to hear it this morning. It felt good.

I always got him confused with Bobby Sheehan. Sure, Blues Traveller was at their best when he was alive and he was pretty good, but I never saw why people got all worked up about him.

The one not on Dick's Picks is short and not very interesting. I'd've wanted it out too.

YouTube video by neverending Bobfan Bob Dylan sings “Masterpiece” over the tune of “Istanbul (Not Constantinople)” in Fort Lauderdale

I saw him a while back. A woman in the second row yelled "play something we know!" loud enough for me to hear up in the balcony. The next song was about the only one not on Rough and Rowdy Ways - a Puttin on the Ritz-ed version of When I Paint my Masterpiece.

seems like you've been quiet about this for a while - glad to hear you got it to publication - cant wait to read it

I love the smell of lorum ipsum in the morning.

It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.

A Massive Climate Resilience Project Escapes Florida’s DOGE Purge - Truthdig Ron DeSantis is slashing government spending, but the Sunshine State can’t afford to abandon its climate adaptation fund.

it's really striking how the most pronounced effect appears in shifting perceptions of zelensky

My main takeaway from Chernow’s biography was Washington’s thinking that dismantling the slavery system was beyond his capabilities to figure out but that if someone didn’t there’d be hell to pay that would rip the country apart within four generations. Pretty accurate.

It's not as if no one has ever used a piece of bacon as a bookmark before.

I really like his work, especially Work Money Death. Wish they could get a North American distributor, though. $35 postage on a $30 lp is kinda harsh.

Spiritual Jazz 12: Impulse!, by Various Artists 17 track album

I’m pretty clueless too but a while back I got a bunch of those Spiritual Jazz comps on sale. Not all modal of course but a fair share. Nice mix of known names and others. This one has my favorite cover

Bob was in a league of his own at that. I like when he escalates into unintelligible screaming.

All my life I had to wonder if and when the government was lying. That dilemma has been resolved now.
