Easily solved by firing the official who correctly gathered it!

Holy shit this is real Soviet/N. Korean style stuff. After the dismal jobs report Trump is going to fire people who compile the data and replace them with hacks. The markets and American people will never be able to trust these numbers again.

Happy Birthday Jerry Garcia. I bet he never could have imagined his impact and continued ascendance decades after his death. Check out my story on the inside story behind this iconic image of him at the Egyptian Pyramids.

A free afternoon in Cleveland before a family wedding meant a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with my brother David and sister Laura, my first musical compadres, and checking out the Allman Brothers. Their exhibit space is rather disappointing, but overall pretty cool spot to be sure.

This is why so many of us should have been listening to Black voices and learning far more about the history of racism in America.

All of that led us here. Fascism was already here for many others. And now it’s coming for the rest. If we had fought for others harder, we’d have prevented it.

I am so sad about the fire tearing through the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, destroying the historic hotel and closing trails. I have hiked the GC twice, once from the North and once from the South. Fantastic experiences.

Um, everything about the photo is a fail. Shouldn’t bride and groom be center with everyone else arrayed around them and the dummy in white buried in back with kids in front of her?

An Interview With Albert King Celebrating the blues giant on the 29th anniversary of his death. Interviewing him was one of the highlights of my career.

What is the single most common mistake young players make with the blues?

ALBERT KING: Overplaying. They play too loud, scream too high, and run too fast. See, when you overplay, you get too loud and people are gonna mistake what you’re doing for a hole in the air.
