    Tbh, I've never liked cowboy movies or stories of the old west. There's something claustrophobic about their plots.

    Your fingers move in the opposite direction of your thumb. They feel like they're supposed to move the strings. But the thumb is dumb compared to fingers, in a manner of speaking. Been so long since I played bass that the whole process fades into memory. One morning I realized that I'd require another ten years of hard work in order to become professionally competent on the instrument. I had run out of time, pure and simple.

    One needs far more talent than I had to be a minimally acceptable to the world of the buying public. Most of us don't have a clue that much of what we hear demands nearly super human ability.

    Great musicians move records. The rest of us have fun and dream of being acceptable.

    And Larry Carlton as well as Jaco are (in Jaco's case were) the world's finest players. They understood how great a talent that Joni Mitchell is looong before I did.

    And Nixon was a far better man than the recently deposed piece of ordure. Nixon created the EPA and he was afraid of public opinion that opposed his. Actually listened to those who didn't like him. Not that he wanted to, but he felt honor bound to listen to them.

    In truth he was a real man in comparison to you know, that MONSTER.

    Honestly I cannot refer to the Republican Party as even basically human. They are selfish to the bone, demand all of everything for themselves and happily watch their limousines run over children and old people.

    Democrats only win by a whisker. They've been taken over by Neo-liberals, worse, Neo-conservatism isn't unknown within their ranks.

    That's a good post, George. They are at Gordon's house, but Gordon isn't singing, just walking around behind them in an attractive brown wifebeater sucking on a cigarette, lolz. Roger McGuinn and...uh... Bob Z hisself [nice hat Bob]

    If you get a chance, watch Scorsese's Rolling Thunder Revue, the documentary this clip comes from, about Dylan's tour back in the 70's sometime.
