Today is always the anniversary date when something else happened, isn’t it? But is that more important that the fact that we have today? What’s more, it’s a celebration or a memorial, and that all depends on the side you pick. That’s the danger with thinking the past still exists. And thinking.

Advice for bassists playing ska vs reggae. In both cases the lock with the drummer is essential. You don’t have a groove without that no matter how good your chucka-chucka players are. But for ska you both push ahead of the beat. For reggae you must also push together. But from behind.
Nirvana was the perfect Buddhist band. Kurt was awesome at describing the sources of suffering. He only pointed to solutions, and was definitely impermanent. So he was Theravada, while Dave has become Mahayana. 🤔😎🧐
If you were a poseur then you’re probably still a poseur. Doesn’t matter how old you managed to get and whose fault that is. You never grew up, Pinocchio. And you let your wood get soft and rotten.
I fullly endorse this kind of outdoor activity. #Kraftwerk #ArtsAndKrafts #MusicSky
My wife to me this morning: We’re not doing so bad. Look at how falling apart physically & mentally all the other old punks we knew growing up are doing. We’re in the same boat. I replied, Maybe. So we all spent a lot of years trying really hard to kill ourselves & none of us left were successful.

What’s in it for God? He doesn’t need anything. He’s got it all. The whole world in his hands, to coin a phrase. That’s why the “ancient” gods make sense. They’re like us. And just as pointless. But we needed each other. Not whole on either side. No advantage or higher power required. Mostly.
How strange it is to realize that now at length before our eyes the end is likely really here; and such an end to its career, here at their prime at best King Lear and on the other hand Falstaff. If it were funny, some would laugh. So there it is, the nut unshelled, and all the meat run off to Hell.
Because it IS Friday (bless you dear fierce beautiful and impossibly deadly Freyja for giving us your day). If it must be a parting shot, let it be both an incredibly persuasive groove AND a subtle warning on the weekend to come #MusicSky #WillieHutch #GetReadyForTheGetDown youtu.be/hhzJCbrb1zE?...
Let's not forget. When somebody says "back in the day" they are usually referring to a Tuesday, probably in late spring. At a comfortable chronological distance - at least 10+ years. Maybe a deuce. At least, that's what I mean when I say it. #ItWasntMe #YouCantMakeThisShitUp #OldeSchule 🤔😉🤪😊
Well, the #Stones version definitely feels a little sleazier, but I still the Coasters rendition is far cooler :) youtu.be/uVAcvSukfrI?...
OK so the #RollingStones had an early minor hit with this one, but the original take on this #LieberStoller classic is SO much cooler IMHO. And this reminds me of a LOTTA round the way girls if you know what I'm saying. #MusicSky #TheCoasters #DownHomeGirl #OldeSchule
Good morning world.
A little like #Stanislavski, my whole life has been connected to art. But it's not #MyLifeInArt. It's more like #MyLifeAroundArt. In musical places: Detroit, Los Angeles, Long Beach, Boston, Memphis, Seattle, and New Orleans, with some interesting #staycations in flyover country in between 🫠

I'll say it again: anyone who thinks about being cool, who worries over what is and isn't cool, will never BE cool. It's like Nirvana in that respect. If u say u want it, and strive for it, and think somehow it's a goal to be achieved, #SomedayNeverComes. It will also be just out of reach.
Face it. This has been a test. And that's why we're stuck in detention slogging through Remedial Democracy 101. Because "we" failed. And also put gum in somebody's hair. But to be fair, they started it. Isn't that what everybody says, most of the time?
Revolutions have never lightened the burden of tyranny: they have only shifted it to another shoulder. #GeorgeBernardShaw #TheRevolutionistsHandbook

If u consider everything u say a sermon, a lot of people expect u to practice what u preach. Because they can’t do it. Preach or practice. That’s why they invent religions. To give u something to quietly play with at the kids’ table. They promise dessert, right? But they ain’t been in the kitchen.
Here’s how you know it’s from Temu. It don’t matter the country of origin. If you order a novelty shirt that looks like a head of cabbage, you’ll be receiving something in Brussel sprout. #SizeMatters #YouGetWhatYouPayFor
It is what it seems to be OR it isn’t what it seems to be. One of those seemingly diametric expressions of reality perception defines and is the underlying fundamental truth of everything that ever was, is, or will be of] EVERY religion, philosophy, strategy, personality, catfish, con artist,…
Basic Human Decency and Respect are NOT the same thing. But the two are infinitely intertwined. The amount of the first u are willing to share is the only amount of the second you’ll ever have, but u can be very “respectable” without being a basic decent human. U can’t get just one end of a stick.
The problem is NOT with the idea of Family Values. My problem is with how so many define "family." And also "values." But other than that.
