How bout them Eagles.

You ready to pimp yourself that joy time.

It will be good to see you tonight.

Ya the fact still remains non of the other bands got what DSO got and really it's not even close.

I don't know how nice that is. It's more painful. I'm about to catch 6 shows on this 2nd leg of fall tour and they play the 69 there. Very unlikely we get a 2nd 69 show. Wish they had saved it for me. Haha. Sad face 😢

Oh trust me. The Eagles won the game. We didn't hold on. We didn't get lucky. We are the better football team. Dak didn't lose the game but he had a chance to win it. He could've won the game but he didn't. You're what we call a Dak apologist. You gonna be super salty with Jerry Jones when Dak ends up with no super bowls because his team was always "average." I bet they win one within 5 years of moving on from Dak. All a matter of when they want to start that clock.

I don't know if 8 and 4 speaks of ownership type dominance but he has performed well against the Eagles no doubt. Dak was 100 percent the reason the Cowboys were in the game, although Ceedee Lamb a big part of that as well. On the other hand, the blame for the loss definitely falls on Daks shoulders. QB has to take responsibility for the outcome when you have the ball on the 25 with 30 seconds left down 5. Put us in the end zone we win. The defense has done enough to win the game. The team has put us in position. We need our star QB to make a play. To win the game. If that's mahommes, eagles fans know we already lost but with Dak we not even worried. He won't deliver. Im shocked you think Dallas has an average offense but that average offense was in position to win. Just needed a play or two from the QB to seal it. Did you see Stroud?

How bout them Cowboys Dak just doesn't deliver with the ball and chance to win. Tell me. When Dak got the ball at the end of the 4th, did anyone actually think the cowboys were going to win?

Whitney and I are generally pretty quiet. Shouldn't be a big problem for us. We don't spend too much time with people in our room telling jokes and laughing all night. Now rude he hits the strip club and gets bottle service so you know he rolls.

Looks like Whitney has given the okay on another chunk of shows. See you in IA MO and IL as well as PA. First time actually staying at the moonrise. Should be nice.

Rude do you go to the strip club with your mom?

Dallas will end up winning and winning big but WTF was that. Up like 26 to 3 or something. Ball inside the 15. Dak forces a terrible throw that's picked off. Garbage play.

Tell her to stop playing. She can only lose from here. Shows. Dinners. Enjoy Vegas. Go home with 35k extra.

Peugot is all over Europe. To be one of those I think I'm better and more sophisticated than others people, think Tesla owners, I've often thought of what it might be like to import one here into the states.

12 team playoff would be interesting. Not sure Bama makes the top 12 though. I think they need to win out to make the top 12 and that means beating Georgia. If they manage to beat Georgia they will be in the top 4 and make the playoff regardless.

They doing their overplayed fillers back to back nights haha

Big game not 220 plus though

On some of the big psychedelic nights I would drive for hours after the show. Listen to classic rock and hear songs clearly for the first time. Not just a verse or two but how all the verses connect.

I hope our paths cross again sometime soon. Love you buddy

Chuck you were there that night in Richmond when the Dew clicked. For some reason Dew and Eyes were songs that often made me think of Chuck and his blissed out spins.

This was a cherry pop night for me. Those that ride that owsley train know what I mean. This isn't your virginity you can pop your cherry a few times a year if your lucky maybe even once every tour but once it happens you feel it but you don't really trip again until you take a good time off the ride. So I had some news from summer that didn't really seem to do the trick. I might feel a little something but didn't even give a jolt of energy most nights. I wasn't dancing til the daylight. I might even sit some songs at the shows. I thought the stuff was flat weak. So I over did it. Took 3 to get one you know the all prankster trick. I've got others with this before but not myself in a long time. Don't get me wrong I've been to this place just not by accident in quite sometime. First set was fairly par to the course. Whitney and I were a touch late but pretty close to on time for us. They started a little late so we caught the opener. Fairly solid first set hard to handle Cumberland sunrise highlights but fairly routine set for me nothing mind blowing but boy was a slowly coming up. The stuff already touched me more than it did over the summer. Boom. China cat starts and the kaleidoscope is on. The colors the light everything was so incredibly bright and in motion. I couldn't see anything but spirals of color. I panicked a little which didn't help the situation but I was out there. Floating in Milky Way of love and magic. Connecting to my emotions and the universe but totally unable to function in this world. I was supposed to do the 10 minute drive back to the hotel and at this point I needed someone to hold my hand just to make it out of the venue. Fortunately I have a trusted partner in this journey called life. I told her how out there I was and let her know she had to drive home. We also step outside the venue to go roll up a blunt to help me settle myself down. You could hear the show crisp and clear outside the fence on the sidewalk outside the venue. We settled in there for a bit. I'm not a huge low spark fan if I'm being honest. It's a song that felt special at first but dark star does too much in my not so humble opinion but this version was strong. I think I heard it more clearly than ever before. This has happened with other songs before. I remember seeing the picture painted by morning dew for the first time in Richmond. Lisa offered me a place to stay that night but I was confident I could drive home. About 30 minutes from DC the split open and melt became too much and pulled over and called a friend for help. That too was a cherry pop night. Then China doll. I shared here before this show that a good friend and mentor of mine killed himself recently. I've listened to 3/30/90 on repeat for weeks. The China doll is big in this show. Dark stars was even bigger. My aqueducts of my emotions opened. On the sidewalks of Birmingham I sobbed for Bob. I sobbed for the lost I felt and even more so I sobbed for Bobs step children especially Bryan who I consider outside of Whitney my best friend. The person I trust 2nd most in my life now. Mom and Dad you guys will always be first only rivaled by Whitney. It put me back to when my dad died when my mom died. How do I go on? How do I continue life without their guidance. Their love. Their support. I'm so sorry Bryan. The fracture he left is deep for me but I can't imagine how deep it is for you. I did pull it together and dance through the tears for bob for Bryan for me. After the flood of emotion I felt, Whitney suggested maybe it would be a good time to go. I still needed her help to get to the car but I agreed it was time to go. I had got what I came for. It was one of those magical nights that only dark star can bring me. Makes me feel human. Makes me acknowledge the love and beauty in my life. Experience and process the pain and sorrow but also remember the love and joy. It's everything a real trip is supposed to be. If you laugh cry and think all in the same day that's a good day. I stole that from jimmy V. Thank you so much DSO. I love you Whitney. I love my kids so much. I miss you mom and dad. Bob you will never be forgotten. love is real

I love you brother. Hope our paths cross again but understand if they don't. So glad I was able to catch you this night.

Holy China Doll! That was cathartgasm I needed. RIP brother. I miss you and your presence will not be forgotten. the fracture you made is deep. Very deep. love you brother.

So I'm back in the land of Zaxbys and Waffle House. I had to struggle not to yell let's go Phillies getting off the plane last night and do a Bryce Harper stare down as I walked off the plane.

I think the eagles narrative is funny. We keep winning while the media keeps saying we held on for that one. The eagles survived. It's comical. Wins are wins. Winning isn't easy in the NFL. I like where we are right now. Do we need to improve? Of course. Do we need to play a more complete 60 minutes of football? Absolutely. Do I think we can find ourselves back in the Super Bowl? That's a resounding yes. We our great in the trenches. We can get one yard on command which is much harder in the nfl then you may realize. I like our chances.
