Couldn’t resist reading this one after seeing Scorsese documentary…
Really well put together…You can hear his voice in his prose…
Kind of high end jet set movie star partying and a “lost weekend year or two” leading up to the filming of Raging Bull…
I guess there were a lot of resentments or bad feelings about Robbie Robertson after the Last Waltz but the man is a great storyteller and great songwriter and now all of the Band have passed on and we are left with crazy history and awesome music…
i compiled my tape-by-tape grateful dead listening notes for 1985 & have now covered every dead tape, 1965-1985.

At the Further Festival
7/17/1996
St Louis, MO
Riverport Amphitheater
Hot Tuna onstage in the afternoon 😊
Some of Joe Strummer’s tape collection…
Another musician gone way too soon…
I wish he was still here to hear his thoughts…
Although much like Allen Ginsberg, Ken Kesey, and more recently, Steve Silberman and David Crosby, there is a part of me that is glad they don’t have to suffer the current dumpster fire…
Joe Strummer’s memory keeps the passion burning to help each other live peacefully and to not be afraid of bully assholes who think they run the world…
60 years ago today (maybe), the muir beach acid test, during which the grateful dead & owsley stanley encounter one another for the very first time & owsley promptly freaks out & drives his car into a ditch. muir beach photo from later in the '60s. (sometimes the palo alto acid test is placed on 12/11 & muir beach on 12/18, but rosie mcgee says she met phil lesh for the 1st time on 12/11 & attended palo alto the following week, which seems to settle the matter.) [1/4]
Found this perfect 1st edition while killing time at a Half Price bookstore…
An all time favorite and I think kinda overlooked when compared to the other two…
My son was also impressed with the condition of the book and gifted it to me…
My son heard a lot of talk about the Chief and The Merry Pranksters growing up…
He is a kind soul and I am a proud father…
This book would make a good movie…
A good bit of the book is about a film crew making a movie…😊
Thankful that the library acquired several copies of the new Patti Smith book so I have one to read this Thanksgiving…
Not gonna lie -It’s been a difficult year but grateful to still be here to help and happy to do so…
“One way or another, this darkness got to give…”
Love to all!
🙏🏼🌹
Rest in Peace & Harmony
