Masons Child

Funny you say Indy has a solid dead scene. The crowd at the Egyptian always seems a little sparse. I wonder if we need to up promotion around town.

Been to the Stone Pony. Just did Dso at the outdoor stage there. Crazy rained off and on all day and cleared just for our show. Stone Pony Asbury Park was big for Bruce when he was up and coming.

Love the Band’s version of Atlantic City He also wrote blinded by the light. Chuck please don’t compare Bruce to Bob. Defend him all you want but Bruce Springstien will never be the songwriter or anywhere’s close to the level of songwriter that Dylan is in. Simply another class. I certainly wasnt tryin to rag on him. I don’t change the channel when his songs come on the radio. I usually sing along.

I’ve never liked Bruce much but I have heard he puts on well hell of concert. Plays for over 3 hours most nights. If you are fan, you get your monies worth. I do like the Sax on some of his songs.

Never seen them but they play Denver on my birthday. We are going to go.

Maybe we rock this the next night Chuck.

Get me a Mayer’s Mark shirt. I’ll wear it for irony sake. I don’t think anyone that knows me will be confused on where I stand. And Chuck you’re the one in one million. I’m blessed to have known you and none of your jaded ass comments on this forum change that feeling. One of the special few. Wise funny strange but a touch of class and respectfulness you don’t find much these days.

In Dewey Beach, I saw someone in that said t shirt. I didn’t think positively.

Depends on how they sounded and if they were doing 70 shows a year. If Jerry was alive, it would probably depend on him being in semi retirement by now. More on the phil train then the Bobby train. Would Bobby Tour with Mayer Mickey and Billy if Jerry and Phil decided to sit it out? I see more like 20 dead shows a year. 15 Jgb shows almost all California than 70 shows a year if Jerry was alive. Of course we all just guessing and speculating. Nobody knows. If jerry and the boys were rolling out 100 show a year, I wonder how big panic, cheese, and Phish followings would be.

I saw Marcus king play with As the crow Flies at wanee also with his own band. The kid is a force to be reckon with. I was impressed and most here know I’m not easily impressed.

I think Chuck offered up a band of his in the other thread. Cornmeal Of course that couldn’t be recent as Chuck is comfortably in a semi retirement

That’s okay. I don’t think much of their Beatles.

Probably easier to find someone with those VIP tickets not going to show on a ticket resale site than on the DSO forums. Wish you luck.

I think Rude post was sarcastic tongue in cheek. I rarely hear these guys talk about saving the world. More like finding the nearest strip joint.

I love you brother. Keep your head high. Walk with pride. We missed you and will see you soon. We got a Peter last night.

My point wasn’t the lack of passion present in platonic feelings or emotions but for me I am more passionate about my physical connections. More passion doesn’t mean the absence of passion elsewhere. It means more passion here. Like take the GD, I was already passionate about it. On the rail. Bobbing my head. My passion grew and connection steengthened when it became physical through dance. Now at times I am making love to the music. It’s romantic. It’s physical and it’s current state of passion increased with the physical. Take a long term friendship that blossoms into physical love. You were always passionate about that friend but the passion certainly increased with the romance.

I’m a big believer in platonic connection and the love we all spread and share but o fundamentally disagree with the end of that statement. For me, my most passionate and love intertwine with romance. I can not love you as passionately without romance. Not every connection is meant to be filled with such passion but to disregard the higher level passion associated with physical romantic love and denigrate it to the same passion associated with platonic love does not add up for me.

That new haven shakedown is great.

I caught the one at the pangent in 2010.

I love you brother

Kudos tea. Wish you'd come dance more and have more to say. Thank you for your words of light.

I'd recommend going if I was close, can't beat two nights dark star same spot. Just keep a low profile. It isn't a big let the freak flag fly night. Stay in the lane. Don't drive a night. Enjoy the music.

Charlotte they gave us a little piece of the field. I still retreated to the concourse by 2nd set but the field was nice for a little bit. Most of my friends bailed right away made keeping space tough. I've never done the stadium show in Rochester. Hopefully they let them use a little of the field eventually.

I had a 4 year old tell me yesterday that they weren't talking to me anymore cause all I say is what what what what.

And to be fair Americans on vacation are disgusting drunks. Yes big time generalizing but if we actually educated kids about drugs. Promoted healthier alternatives to alcohol. Simply provided better structure for the youth as a society. I mean at the end of the day good people don't need cops or laws. Raise good citizens and we can reduce the size of the police quickly. Get so drunk you fall down on the street. Or so jacked up on speed you thrash into my lady. Or drive off the highway into the median cause you can't handle your booze. We gonna need cops. We give them their justification. Just my 2 cents. Look out for your neighbor. Help those who don't know how to party learn. Discourage those that can't party from partying. Teach basic human decency and respect. This problem may go away or remanifest itself. Power is a mother fucker.
