Grateful Dead - Working Man's Dead - 1971 - Casey Jones

We all know this song, but Bill Kreutzmann....this guy kept the beat. A better snare drummer, I've never heard.

I thought Deadheads could feedback the lyrics to the Dead...

but this was pretty damn special. A choir of a 1/2 Million people singing Bohemian Rhapsody at a Green Day concert. Well, that is pretty damn impressive.

Geez, the more I listen, the more I hear Hot Tuna......"St. Louis Tickle"......I bet Jorma Kaukonen was paying attention in the late 60s.

I'm an old white guy, not close to being perfect.....but

I honored the women in my life and never had the idea of raising a hand to any of them.

Not Fade Away, Pt. 1 (Live at the Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY, 2/18/71)

Maybe the best timeframe I have for this band....In 1970, I was hearing this music and enjoying it. Then I saw them play in Boston at the Old Garden 9/71. Wall of Sound and the NRPS in glitter cowboy suits to start the show. I exited the show - perhaps at 1:30? It took 2--1/2 hours to reunite with my buddy at Boston College. I had a good time, no alcohol consumed.

In 1972, I cast my 1st vote in a Presidential election. It was a "no brainer" - I voted for George McGovern.

I remember telling my mom - an Eisenhower Republican - and Dad (it's none of your business who I voted for) who I voted for. Neither thought that was a good choice at the time. 2 years later, they both agreed that McGovern would have been a better President.

So why is it so hard for Trump Republicans to admit their vote in 2016 hurt this Country? Yet they voted for Trump in 2020 and will again this year. In spite of everything we know today.

I see too many interviews with the people who attend the Trump Carnival....and almost no interviews with Harris-Walz supporters. Why is that? And that's been an issue, since I cast my 1st Presidential vote. Seems like we need equal time with public interviews of voters.

The contrast should be important to this country's future. You listen to these Trump voter/ rally goers, dressed to impress their fellow Trump fans, and they say nothing intelligent. One thing you don't hear, are any verifiable facts. It's all about showing up, reinforcing the Trump bullshit amongst themselves, and support each other with their undying loyalty to the Trump brand. Yet, we never get to hear interviews of everyday Americans that are diametrically opposed and quite capable of annunciating their reasons and viewpoints.

Why is that?.
