Black Messiah is amazing but Voodoo for me just takes me to special place and nostalgia. His passing hit me hard yesterday.

Itโ€™s so important to love the journey part. Work on getting better but enjoy the process. Your music appreciation and hearing things you didnโ€™t notice before while listening to music is also life enriching.

Not recommending (buying the booze part) it, but if you have wine or beer they interact with you anyway to verify your age. I had a 10 minute conversation with the self checkout guy last time I went to Costco, when he checked my ID, it turned out we grew up near each other. Great chat!

NL playoffs are going to be lit. Philโ€™s, Brewers, Mets, Dodgers and the new all in Padres going at each other. Good luck to everybody above you will all need it.

What a tear jerker. Ignoring or not acknowledging race issues in the sports world of the 60โ€™s and 70โ€™s would be like pretending it didnโ€™t impact music, art and politics of the same era. You canโ€™t. Nor should we ignore it now either. Excellent as always and I canโ€™t wait for season 2!

Agree. I think for some they think they were saving the children or that is the lie that brought them in. I know a few people in the wellness industry that got sucked into Q and it was heartbreaking. The actual Save The Children foundation is a great thing, what Q does is horrible.

Call me crazy but I agree. Q brought people in over child sex trafficking which led to vaccination skepticism and other crazy stuff. While I wish their energy was about enacting real change to protect children their anger over the issue is a righteous one to them.

As a husband on the you can only have cereal for dinner twice a week rule letโ€™s remember moderation people, moderation. Whatโ€™s the rule on chicken waffles, anyone? No syrup = dinner? Savory crepes?

I loved the episodes on JR Richard and the 84 Padres. Keep these coming and thank you.

Thank god he doesnโ€™t have a dog, bad enough he abuses Americans.

America needs his too, he would be a great POTUS but it seems like America canโ€™t have nice things. Happy for Minnesota however.

Thatโ€™s the way to do it. It really does help.

Only they want freedom of speech, not anybody else.

If everyone is a child of god you donโ€™t get to choose which ones are not including poor children, POC, Gay, Bi and Trans. Why is this so difficult for some to understand? I know, I know rhetorical question..

Due to the rampant homophobia in the 80โ€™s not sure a metal singer going on about how he would blow someone like a hurricane would fly. But yes, poetically works much better.

Well the cool kids like the Danny Kirwan yearsโ€ฆ

Actually everything from the first blues album to Mirage is worth exploring. Fascinating history and drama with that band before the Nicks/Buckinham era. .

Morning and happy Juneteenth. Need coffee #2 now because one ainโ€™t enough.

Why would they say that? Turin is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. There are here because of their contracts, they all probably think the Club World Cup is as stupid as I do and would rather be on the beach in the south of France with girlfriends or wives. Moron.

Born in the late 60โ€™s and the music was better, promoting peace, love and standing up for free speech and civil rights was exactly the right thing to do. Butโ€ฆ the free love and drug part didnโ€™t make for great parenting for those that had kids. They got it mostly right.

Feel a little better after seeing such high turnout yesterday from my slight lean red suburb. This dog dad for the win.

Good signs and good turnout today. I will just say this suburb is the farthest thing from what the MSM would say would be the profile of people who protest. Gave me hope. #nokings

I just do Social Media on my iPad and limit my access to it. While I do use my phone to capture photos and videos that I will sometimes share on SM I took all SM apps off my phone so when Iโ€™m out in the world I am actually in it. Also gives me time to reflect if they are actually worth posting.
