Evening, Suz, I am awake, can you believe it. Not sure if I will fall off the page suddenly, but thought I could show off a couple of fonts.

If you can believe it, we have Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman redux already. In the same fuckin’ town.

It was only a matter of time but the venue could have moved.

Jebus Dog! I thought someone had died.

Incredible stuff!
I’m partial to “You Don’t Love Me” (for the spectacular guitar work) from that epic appearance, but this is a very close second.

Hi Suz!

hey bg! yay for being awake! how was your day?

hey tuez — how’s florida tonight? judas forking priest *shaking head*

senator! how’s grandmahood?

Florida mades Louisiana look Good.

Dentist, plumbing, allergies. And I locked my keys in the house. Again, also. I think that about sums it up.

It makes me feel like totally happy and very mortal.

hey newton — be sure to click over when ya get time and watch that full segment. this was 6 months before the taping of THE shows at fillmore that became the double album. some good shit in there : how ya doing tonight?

I’m good, heading over there now.

i used to lock myself outta the house all the time when i pregnant. nothing like being 8 months along and trying to climb in a window

Katrina gave Louisiana a 100 year pass.

i get that. tis a strange mix of emotions for sure.

Your grandchildren are born after you and your pets before you. Beauty in both.

the little miss is staring to show a wee bit of temper — she has the fiercest scowl that always makes me smile and chuckle

Aloha, Suz and lln pups, from atop Mauna Kea…! Fixing to head outside shortly for my first shift…! But, I’m looking forward to playing that whole Youtube tonite, Suz…! ;-)

Suzanne Bless ya!
I thought this had disappeared. Hard to believe I got to see all that, and got paid.
Allman Bros. were a trip. They were country boys, scared shitless of NYC. But they were THAT GOOD!

aloha tut — am glad its gonna help ya pass the time away up there on the mt. how’s paradise tonight?

Where do the rest of us sign up for your job?

Hi Suzanne.
Just a driveby, I had to check out Duane and Berry before finally getting to my dishes.
The video quality is pretty typical for the era but the camera work and editing is very professional. Zappa said to make a decent live recording back then you had to be in NYC or LA, so not surprising the same was true of video.
Splendid evening to all.

LOforkingL! I had to call my cat-sitter to come and let me in. I gotta get a spare key, this is I think, the 3rd time lately. I have never done it before, but suddenly I am just having a hella hard time keeping track of myself.

The cat sitter told me a coyote has gone to the 2nd floor of her building looking for a meal, like the cats (hers) that sit in the open windows with just flimsy screens between them and the coyote.

The whole place is up in arms b/c someone called Animal Control, and they are setting traps. The tenants think there are pups where that coyote comes from, and they are worried about what happens to the coyote and the pups with Animal Control involved. Apparently AC is interested in “pets at risk” and that is their primary orientation. What a mess.

hey glackin –so glad ya liked it. i love how raw and early this was — before the polish that came later. whipping post was the 4th song of the 4 song set — immediately after in memory of….

ratty! is bob also awake?

It’s below freezing and it’s mighty windy up here…!

It’s gonna be a looong nite…!

Ask what kind of traps they are using. Here they had a coyote downtown (Orlando) and set a trap but it was basically a big hammer. Any kid or pet could have been killed by it. The city didn’t want to “alarm” people by even acknowledging it was here but when I heard about how they wanted to kill it, I couldn’t believe it.

take the traps out and lock the doors.

i ended each pregnancy on crutches with a twisted ankle but that had nothing to do with the windows and/or keys…

double layer of longjohns kinda night *shiver*

we were rain off and on and only got up to 48 today

There are 3000 coyotes living in Chicago. They are everywhere. New Orleans. San Francisco. New York city. Rancho Cordova. They displaced the wolves and are very present.

Yes (I’m so bad), gotta wind things down so I can get that poor kid to bed. I’ll try to stop by again in the not distant future.

Don’t you wish you could go back in time, shake Duane and Berry and say “NO motorcycles!”?

dont keep me wondering – first song in the set

Interesting. I had no idea. More power to them for adapting.

no kidding! please give my regards to bob and hope to see your fonts again soon dood

dreams

I know they are everywhere. And what they do to cats is not pretty. They “like” cats, a lot. If you want to know about their interest in cats, put “half cats” into teh google. I found one once, and I thought it was done by some kind of satanic cult, it was so clean.

My friend already went out to try to figure out about the traps. They are intending to feed the coyote and disarm the traps. I don’t think they have seen any traps yet.

She’s planning to reinforce the inside of her windows to protect the cats.

Be careful. It’s my understanding that coyotes are too smart for standard traps so they aren’t even used. Instead a trip wire is used to basically club them to death, which was my issue with it. Anything/one could have been killed by the trap.

statesboro

Here is a rather enlightened approach toward coyotes. My friend will be contacting them, for sure.

Is there anything to, ‘They were here long before we were, and will likely be here long after we’re gone.’?

You mean like cockroaches and dinosaurs? “:P

I imagine so.

Hey Suz, love the Whipping Post. That takes us all back a few years.

i almost went with it up top tonight but decided since the un-aired segment had voice mic issues to go with the instrumental elizabeth reed.

Elizabeth Reed is good too. That is such an era of my life.

Howdy, ma’am.
More like oxygen, and sunlight.

The big-brained variety of mammal, for all our wonderfulness, has no problem shoving anything and everything farther and farther West until all that’s left is the swimming. Then we find ourselves surprised when a spurt in the numbers of indigenous species bites us on the ass.

I get that we don’t much like bears and wolves and mountain lions and coyotes eating our joggers, pets, and children…

Maybe we should have built them a reservation.

OK, that’s me being an asshole, but you get my drift.

hey dearie — how was your day?

so rare to have video of duane

Coyotes are roaming all over Cape Cod, if you can imagine! I’m surprised I haven’t seen them over on my coast. And I had to laugh about the idea of the big predators chasing us all into the sea…..could happen! And nipping at our heels as we dive in. And, damn, the Pacific is so cold!

Good and quiet and sunny on my coast. I like the quiet days. Hope you had some restful days and nights. We missed you but enjoyed CT’s good hosting. How are things with you? Did the kids pack up the right stuff?

i used to occasionally see one crossing the bay at low tide

Yep, they are in every city in the country, not just the rural areas and the west. And they have found urban food they really like: cats.

Problem with the coyotes is that once they eat up all the poodles, they’re going for the small children. Yikes!

i don’t know. sat jen and i are going out and i’m gonna take a look see of what’s still there. they took a buncha stuff from the house and put it directly into a storage unit so i haven’t seen what was packed.

Let’s see…..the cats eat the mice/rats and the coyotes eat the cats and then…..and then….

I’ll be hoping you have a safe trip on your bum up and down the stairs!

“And stay out, you arrogant homo sapiens!” yelled the penguin, chuckling to his pals sunning themselves on the beach at St. Tropez.

Bless your girls and Jen’s husband. Family matters. I’m sure they did a good job for you. When does Steph go home? She’s been a stalwart for sure.

i’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for no splinters!

she left today and is home

If they are pecking at 1%ers, that would make me happy! But I suspect the richie-riches are bbq-ing any predators they see.

Def NO splinters. That just adds insult to injury, I know too much cliche, but I think that’s the truth.

The 1% is not endangered yet, as much as we would like to imagine it.

the way my luck has run lately — i would not rule them out…

Wonderful that she was able to stay and help as long as she did. I know you will miss her. I also know she will miss you all!

Suzanne, I am thrilled to see this video. First time ever to see this classic series of live performances captured on video; the anthology albums Live at the Fillmore have long been considered amongst the top live performances made by any band any decade. The original albums lacked the full versions of Elizabeth Reed due to album space constraints, so when it was re-released on CD, for the first time we heard the extended (full) live performance.

I can tell this is a different night’s recording from the album/CD published one, and even with distorted images and lo-fi sound I just was swept away by this video version. For one thing, I had never noticed that there were 2 drum sets/drummers on stage — which was pretty cool. Another thing is just how unadorned those kinds of performances were back then. Real artists center stage playing real instruments, no gimmicks.

Thanks for posting this.

Can you imagine what the Galapaogos Islands would be like if Mitt Romney’s kids had shipwrecked there?

the luck of her showing up on the day i broke my leg was amazing…. my pt lady hugged her g’bye today when she was here checking on me

hey rh — so glad ya liked it.

Perhaps the world would be a better place if the Rmoney family had been eaten by iguanas.

sorry peeps but my pain pill has kicked in early tonight. thanks for letting me hang out with ya tonight

g’nite all

NIghters, Suz, thanks for a great LLN, and get a very good night of sleep.

This is how wiki describes Kurt Vonnegut’s novel ‘Galapagos’.

Galápagos is the story of a small band of mismatched humans who get shipwrecked on the fictional island of Santa Rosalia in the Galápagos Islands after a global financial crisis has crippled the world’s economy. Shortly thereafter, a disease renders all humans on Earth infertile, with the exception of the people on Santa Rosalia, making them the last specimens of humankind. Over the next million years, their descendants, the only fertile humans left on the planet, eventually evolve into a furry species resembling seals: though possibly still able to walk upright (it is not explicitly mentioned, but it is stated that they occasionally catch land animals), they have a snout with teeth adapted for catching fish, a streamlined skull and flipper-like hands with rudimentary fingers (described as “nubbins”).

So maybe I had it backwards.

nie suz

I actually don’t know about the boys. If it were Mitt and Ann, all the animals would be schooled in dressage, I suspect.

G’night, Suz.

Point taken, though if the apocryphal story of Sir Isaac Newton being beaned while sitting under an apple tree is a correct description of gravity…

Another from that era is about to leave us.

very sad

I saw this very sad news this afternoon, and my reaction was that I hope I’m wrong about the existence of a God, and that Levon is heading towards a really great stage in a really great venue.

Hi Thatguy.

Levon has been such an inspiration to me as a musician.

Yeah, I hope I’m wrong, too. I want the Rainbow Bridge to be real. I want the great big bandstand to be real.

Love the music, hi all:)

Hry, Margot. howzit w/you?

Hey folks. Missed Suzanne :-(

So big happy Day today with ALEC walking away from their committee to push gun laws.

Right now I’m trying to think of stuff to help get the stand your ground laws repealed, block the laws they want with guns on campus and make it much harder to get a concealed carry permit.

Here is a video idea this is designed to educate people who don’t follow gun laws.
Did you know you can get a concealed carry permit by watching a one hour video?
Did you know that if you have a history of mental illness with violent tendancies you can get a CCW permit

I was appalled that I don’t even have to demonstrate I can safely handle a gun. And I can use this permit to carry in dozens of states.

Responsible gun owners don’t want jerks like me getting a permit, yet they never push for higher levels of training or blocking people who are Assholes from even doing a bare minium of training.

And I thought I was coming here for the political banter. God, that was great! Even though I fell in with punk, garage and Northern soul years ago, “Idlewild South” has remained one of my all-time favorite albums since high school, and just to see Duane and Berry (both dead by the time I got to middle school) — and to appreciate how tight that band was — brought me a lot of joy. And some what-if sadness, too.

Speaking of the dead: Someone actually created a FB meme Coachella poster for next year’s all-hologram lineup, and the Allmans are listed for Sunday’s show, which also includes Mozart, Marvin Gaye, The Beatles, Muddy Waters, Miles and Selena …

spocko, I wish you would write this up for myFDL….lots to be said about our crazy gun un-laws. I am, actually, amazed that abused wives have not taken advantage of Stand Your Ground in available states to blow their abusers away. That’s coming, I guess. I live in a sane state, but I no longer want to visit the crazy states. Write it up….. share the word.

evening, Dearie — looks like I missed Suzzz — how’s she feeling?

She was here earlier. This is a tough time, but she’s a tough gal. And, wow, she’s getting the time down, day by day. I hope she’ll be doing some of her famous dives by mid-summer or so. Cruise back through the thread to get a sense of where she is right now.

Aloha, Franorama World…! Always a pleasure to see new fonts…! LLN threads are always free flowing, if ya want to talk politics you’re certainly welcome to start a conversation…! ;-)

thanks, Dearie — I saw the other night that she’s moving?

Dearie I will.
I follow this stuff closely and I had no idea the NRA is pushing laws that will arm violent felons after they get out of prison.
Unbelieveable.

It’s the 2nd amendment versus the Constitution, spocko.

Convicted violen felons, disenfranchised from voting in red states, can vote with their guns, in the alternative.

hey franorama — so glad you liked it! sorry that i bailed early last night and was unable to give ya a proper greeting. hope to see your fonts again soon
