I’m not a guitarist, and i would say I’m more of a percussionist than a drummer, frankly, (lol) and therefore Ruth Underwood is a big part of why I got drawn in. Thanks, @[1309806385:2048:Charles] for playing that record to me all those years ago.

This was a comment at a friend, brought you by the magic of Ctrl c Ctrl v…

I love the week after Yule now. Sitting there, sipping tea, drinking in all the stress. I went to ARC today (isn’t that R supposed to be problematic these days?) And it was basically empty. I carried a few items around before abandoning them. Cool book, I’ll never read it, Sapien by Yuval Harare, I think. He’s fun to listen to on YouTube.

Then I went over to Kings and got some groceries. Chill, saw my favorite manager Cy and wished him a very loud merry Christmas. It’s fun to do when all the other ones are out of the way.

Holidays alone suck, and I wish I could come over tomorrow with some Chinese and show off my drums which have returned to me.

Sitting here watching Zappa videos. Merry Christmas, everyone!!!

remember that guitar that Jimi Hendrix set on fire on stage? I’d heard that Zappa had it and that it had been reworked, but i never saw a picture before.

Just learned of this from reading someone comparing/contrasting with talk therapy. The notion of “parts” of the self is reminiscent of Gurdjieff’s doctrine of the plurality of the “I” and is evidenced in language when we say things like “a part of me wants to do this, another part of me wants to take a nap instead”.

I have some really smart people in my feed, has anyone else encountered this?

This is the recording of another show @[100063481720652:2048:John] and I went to together. I know you were there, i think you went with me each time I saw him.

This was the time where he told us that Crew Slut was based on a young lady from Detroit (second to last song).

There was a beach ball being volleyed around the audience. It went up on stage at one point and I held my breath because the other two times i’d seen him, the show was.. interrupted by someone tossing something on stage. The show completed without adverse incidents.

Note to those who are setting public transportation fares: This is the correct direct - downwards - to encourage more use. Free would be even better. My home town, the City of Longmont, has had their local (in-town) buses all free for years because (I’ve heard) of a grant.

Today is Frank’s birthday. This is an amazing performance, if for no other reason it is likely the only time I have ever heard FZ fanboy anyone. It was because he wrote the liner notes to “The Varese Record” that i gave FZ another listen, after deciding he was too weird the first time I heard him.

Certainly! The words “burro” and “burrito” in Spanish are an interesting example of how diminutives can change the meaning of a word in a specific context.

Burro: This is the Spanish word for “donkey.” Donkeys are known for being sturdy and strong animals, often used for carrying loads and for farm work.

Burrito: Technically, “burrito” is the diminutive form of “burro,” so it would literally translate to “little donkey.” However, in the context of food, “burrito” refers to a popular Mexican dish consisting of a large wheat flour tortilla with various fillings, such as meat, beans, rice, cheese, and vegetables, wrapped into a closed-ended cylinder. This dish is distinct from the animal “burro.”

The transformation of “burro” into “burrito” in the culinary sense is a bit of a linguistic leap. The exact origin of why this dish is called “burrito” is not entirely clear, but there are several theories. One popular theory suggests that the dish is named “burrito” because the rolled-up tortilla resembles the packs and bundles that donkeys were traditionally used to carry.

So, while “burrito” is the diminutive of “burro,” its meaning largely depends on the context in which it’s used - referring either to a small donkey or to a type of Mexican food.

I was there with friends. This was the one where a dude threw a nickel on stage and he stopped the show. At least it was during an encore I suppose.

I saw this tour at Clemson University. The big thing in the middle was a mystery until, late in the show, the thing in the middle of main floor part slid back to reveal the biggest disco ball I’d ever seen. It rose up on a stalk, and when they turned the lights off, put spotlights on it, the whole stadium disappeared into thousands of spots of light. They sang “Wish You Were Here”… nothing like tens of thousands of people all singing this together. Then they started to spin the ball….

“You know, to be really safe you should always carry a bomb on an airplane. Because the chances of there being one bomb on a plane are pretty small. But the chances of two bombs are almost minuscule. So by carrying a bomb on a plane, the odds of your becoming a hostage or of getting blown up are astronomically reduced.”

This time around feels different. Too many transitions at once: Do I get a new IT job? Get a somewhat satisfactory minimalish wage job even though it will be a struggle? How does retirement fit in? What do I do about this crushing depression that has moved in? And have you looked at the world lately?

you could say that this depression isn’t new, i had it for most of my life, most likely. After a recent spell of the depression lifting, this feels more crushing because I’ve experienced better in recent memory. Worse, I am having problems with depression eating, and I’ve packed on about 30 pounds since around Halloween, and I’m at my record weight. It’s becoming more urgent that I either drop some weight or start a new size section in my pants closet.
