It Makes No Difference, we might as well speak for them, unfortunately there's only two able to speak now, Garth and Robbie. No matter, some great performances from the film. My favorite tunes, featuring the voices of Rick, Richard and Levon.
The Band ≈ It Makes No Difference

The Band ≈ The Shape I'm In

The Band ≈ Don't Do It
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=feEBEpDLTKI
According to Levon's book This Wheels On Fire, Levon and the rest of the band did not appreciate the camera's love affair with Robbie. He also mentions that they had to remix the entire effort because they forgot to turn off Robbie's microphone. Apparently he could write the lyrics but couldn't carry a tune. However; he could pick with the best of them, I can't take that away from him.

Did you notice how happy The Mathematical Guitar Genius and Rick Danko were during Neil Young's song.
Another in a long line of lasts.
The only sound that's left after the ambulances go.

I guess the happiness stems from that Canadian National Pride. Actually they all seemed pretty happy, given the fact they didn't want to be there. I guess that fact was offset by all the party favors back stage.
Did you notice how fast Robbie picks up the lead when E.C. goes "off belay" (his pro was poorly set from the beginning)? He doesn't miss a lick.

Well as they say, money (and cocaine) doesn't talk it swears.
Helm went so far as to say that Last Waltz was "the biggest f*#kin' rip-off that ever happened to the Band", citing that he, Manuel, Danko and Hudson never received any money for the various home videos, DVDs and soundtracks released by Warner Bros. after the project.
Robbie and Martin moved in together up in the Hollywood Hills, whilst finishing up the film and as much powder as they could get their hands around.

My take away from Levon' s autobiography; Robbie took all the credit and glory
Not to mention the royalties from all the songs that he copyrighted. He did write most of the lyrics; but the music was made by the group. Consequently, there were some members a little bit hungrier than Robbie. Greed.

Thanks for clearing that up neebee. I was thinking he was at the Library of Congress trying to double check my references. Uh, check mate!
Another in a long line of lasts. May be the last time, I don't know.
filmed in Ireland. Is some photographer in The Flames arena holding back on us?

Hello tribe,
Just because The Flames feels like a great place to post this, and to share it with Mouse and Liz, from Doug and me, just because today is a special anniversary for Doug and me, and this song was our last discussion, more or less, the night before he escaped. :)
Click here for the song. Or not. I remain in awe and appreciation. Whew! "The most magnificent Spirit I have ever known." Those are the words we said to each other when we got married. :) Whew!
Enjoy, Mouse.
And, get well and good healing and {{{Hugs}} from everyone around this beautiful fire, which you tend with such loving balance for all us adventurers gathered around its warmth.
namaste,
feralfae

With terrible trepidation, I ask, ". . . and? (is this a pun?)
and I also ask: "Is Mouse now on his adventure?"
And do we have a prayer/happy thought/positive energy/<*twinkles>*/focused intention/well-wishing Circle going here around the fire? Okay. Now we do. So, just whenever you think of Mouse, send some loving and healing energy his way when you feel like it. Simple.

Stay in touch, and I'll get back within a day or two. I only sleep in the studio sometimes. :)

[Click to View YouTube Video]I am always running at a loss and have not a pot to piss in, the kidz get fed and clothed but the things we want for are many.
Choices and the ravage world has spun us down and under.
The surf crashes overhead as we drown.
People are still surfing - We are drown the choice was only half ours,
but for those of you that eat love and drink positive vibes,
go feed some thing to a starving being.
Oh the irony. . . ?
Help a mouse,!
wife said
no, you
would
not
I . . .
Are you waffleing as to the sad irony,
it just brings peace of all kindzzzz
Of Mind?! Piece of all kind . . .true free will exasperated !
Not that "they" reject that there be as it were powers that be
just that those powers ,?? Big Magi,C?? are often scary er to the control all freaks that inhabit the scientific world, then the theorem that they study ad infinitum.
Ohh there is no where to hide that was a list:
not church and school AND SONG but meditation, warfare, love, or fear.
But wait a bit what was it ? A fairy, as in magic sprite, Wild Mountain Girl ?,you slay it"
":as are apparent from such energy states as meditation, warfare, love, or fear"
'
. . . .
I love science. It has been very good to me. But I also love metaphysics, and that has been very good to me as well. I find it difficult to parse awareness/mind/Spirit into separate units of being, and so, when I speak of mind, I am unable to hold it apart from my own sense of being, from my own awareness, from my own Spirit. (And this is my own subjective view of life and spirit and being, but I think it is shared by many humans.)
And it is Spirit, I believe, which gives me the humanity to appreciate the prismatic effect of sunlight on water, and smile at a rainbow. And yet I know at a certain level that the rainbow is a display of quantum mechanics. So my delight is also in having that understanding of a rainbow. Are we not, as humans, capable of enjoying and appreciating both aspects—and other aspects which may yet be revealed—of a rainbow? Of the human experience?
I offer the above to say, in summary, that human beings are easily capable of holding both their scientific method and their subjective humanity as we explore concepts and phenomenon from our human perspective. There are balances and contradictions that will continue to emerge. How we approach and entertain and examine these internal and external phenomenon will depend largely on our human ability to hold objective and subjective aspects of experienced existence as both of significance.

Thank you.

Relaxing in Zion on our southwest Westfalia tour. It looks like there might be some good crack climbing here.

Cracken me up, u rm, Mr. PieToss. & such understatement--never have I heard such before.
Zion is a crackless waste with virgin rivers
Saturday is a cracked diabase with large porphyritic crystals spread throughout, looking to the unobservant like quartz gonzognome.
The playing fields of Eden Creek Elementary School produce some of the best chamomile this side of Nirvana, UT. It grows best in the shade of the wooden baseball backstop.
I am sitting at a terminal amid the fiction, young adult, mystery, western, and sci-fi sections on the lower level of the county library, not the one of congrefs. There are large print books on both this level and the upper level, which is devoted to the real, the factual, the oversized and the illiterate.
Speaking of large print? How do you make a Venetian blind? Take away his glasses.
It's no joke being here. It can cost you plenty. Fifty cents a day is the not-so-fine assessment for keeping seven-day books for eight days. It can cost you as little, however, as a quarter a day for three-week books kept for 22 days.
So it pays to read fast. It pays to get out the door and return the books, come rain or come shine. Today is shine, and plenty of it. It's nearly 90 degrees outside. A good day to stay indoors reading a quiet Jack Reacher novel. And the one that I have going is quiet...the body count is zero and I'm a third of the way through it.
As to the surgery, yep, it's postponed yet again. I'm being given a new drug that will knock down the amount of water weight in my system better than the old one. My body is like an old car being tuned up prior to a minor process that will replace a fender. Sort of useless, but it makes more money for the mechanics, somehow...
I need to go see the sights here on the ST, so I gotta go.
And god bless all and sundry.
