Despite corralling progressive leaning citizens into the right wing Democratic Party stable (graveyard) where most progressive policies go to die, this is always an interesting and potentially helpful guide - denverdsa.org/images/voter...

Thirteen years ago, I scored this fun little record (as an add on) with an OG The White Tape vinyl. Think I paid $100 for both, which at the time seemed crazy. youtu.be/9vG_7L_IDDk?... youtu.be/_VvJG6qeKXo?...

Avalokiteshvara, while practicing deeply with the Insight that Brings Us to the Other Shore, suddenly discovered the five Skandhas are equally empty, and with this realization, he overcame all ill-being.

Thought about driving up the canyon for one of the shows this past weekend but abstained. A mistake. They are sounding great these days. Sounds like there’s going to be an opportunity to catch them over the New Year holiday. #UM 2nu.gs/3Vx0lj5

Thirty two years ago today, UTTAD was released in the middle of a grunge soaked musical zeitgeist. A month earlier, I randomly caught DMB at Fox Theater on The Hill in Boulder. I knew immediately the band was going to be HUGE. open.spotify.com/album/3eAA4f...

Raised listening to a solid blend of country and jazz but Aerosmith’s, Toys In The Attic, led me to Van Halen. The cherry on top was catching a ride with my best friend’s sister to see Van Halen in Albuquerque, NM for the Fair Warning tour in 81. I was twelve. Generation X rules.

Every election cycle the “meddlesome rabble” does the same thing, puts their “hope” and faith in the two party, corporate duopoly and expects a better outcome. It’s not insanity. It’s perseveration. How’s that working out for everyone? chrishedges.substack.com/p/donald-tru...
