#ClocktoberMusic 14 Roger Waters: 4:41 am (Sexual Revolution) Off Pros & Cons of Hitchhiking. A dream of infidelity where titles are the time of morning the song begins if the dream starts at 4:30. Written the same time as The Wall, similarities are not coincidental. youtu.be/HI4bz0OvQ8A?...

25 years ago I was headed to NYC. The events of 9/11 just ten days earlier weighed heavy on the crowd. This wasn't a concert, this was services and preacher Robinson, the band and the choir delivered, giving us permission to let go of our grief for a while. #theblackcrowes

No science fiction could have prepared us for just how stupid the end of the world can be. "The environment was on the brink of collapse, and so, rather than deal with that, we burned what fuel we had left getting computers to scam each other for money."

Its funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a Utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology.

Mamdani just showed up at Penn Station, wristbands in hand, helping World Cup fans find their trains like it was nothing. Panama vs England, MetLife bound, and the mayor was just out there in the crowd. No big deal. Very big deal.
