  1. I still have more labeling to do. And I need to order more double-wide jewel cases. And I don’t know exactly why I ordered the discs like this, in chronological order from the bottom up and right-to-left. Probably has something to do with how I originally ordered my early 60’s discs in a shoe box. But I finally condensed all my boots into two big boxes. The only post-Brent show is one I attended. A bunch of my bootleg discs have been replaced by official releases. Some like the Red Rocks shows on 7/7-8/78 haven’t. Those shows are split between the 2 boxes. Above the Dean Dome show in ‘93 on the bottom left in the first pic are 4 discs of acid test recordings, then immediate post-Jerry work — The Other Ones — leading up to the NYE show at HJK that Phil missed (so TOO couldn’t perform) because of his liver transplant. (Not shown is the KVHW show from the upstairs ballroom.) After that are Jerry band projects Legion of Mary and so on. Then Bobby solo/side projects (Kingfish, Bob & Rob, Ratdog, even Bobby solo acoustic), then Phil & Friends. I used to have more Phil & Friends boots. At some point I purged about a shoe box full because I wasn’t listening to them. Here you can see two different 10-disc sets of AUD recordings from the 4/15-17/99 Phil & Phriends shows from the Warfield. Not shown are three double wide cases of SBD recordings for those shows that mostly get played nowadays. I won’t discard those other recordings, though. They’re both good and they were such important shows that I feel I should hang onto them. Coincidentally, the three cases for the SBDs are the only shows I labeled in blue, red, and green other than the run of shows at the Ark in Boston 30 years prior.
  2. And keep on keepin’ on.
  3. That’s part of the job description. That’s the goal. Mission accomplished. I’ll bet the ratings are good.
  4. They know their audience.
  5. Now, having reached that conclusion, isn’t the logical course of action to put him on ignore and disregard all the drivel he spews? Why pay attention to what a true idiot has to say? Who has the time or the interest? What does it say about you if you continue to read his posts and respond? Who’s the idiot then?
  6. That’s a perfectly fine url. When I copy and paste it into this reply, it embeds. Comme ça:
  7. The last time I bought a dozen large eggs at Kroger, they were $3.19. Probably a couple weeks ago. On Friday they were up to $4.99. Same large eggs.
  8. I read that book. It didn’t age well. For example, one of the “great” companies it recognized was Circuit City.
  9. Brrrrrrr. Close the windows, turn the heater on.
  10. That’s when I lost interest.
  11. Please cut Mom’s Social Security check. Maybe that will wake her up. <sigh> Probably not.
  12. When they come for the king, they’d best not miss.
  13. Jesse Watters is laughing.
  14. Like the ones on the payroll of the fossil fuel industry like S. Fred Singer (who I’m happy to learn passed away 5 years ago), Alex Epstein, Judith Curry et al. who deny the scientific consensus on anthropogenic global warming? I didn’t get the impression that he meant it that way.
  15. A new study? That’s not exactly breaking news. It also fueled the spread of Protestantism which is well documented and not in the least unrelated.
  16. Bullshit.
  17. The original lineup.
  18. That sounds like rationalization. It doesn’t satirize the novel. That’s not how satire works. (And how did you get sold on the excuse that instead of finishing the book the director decided to satirize it? How did he know what he was satirizing if he didn’t read the book? That’s an obvious cop out.) Let me think of an analogy that the illiterati might understand. I’ll use a movie instead of a book so non-readers might get it. You wouldn’t try to satirize Star Wars with a bad remake that omitted The Force, Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Jedi Kinghts, and then called it Star Wars. Anyone who saw the original Star Wars would say it sucked. Anyone who said it was satirizing Star Wars would sound like an idiot. ”What happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi? May The Force be with you? Use The Force, Luke?” “It’s satire.” ”No it’s not. That’s not how satire works. What the fuck is wrong with you?”
