Histories of ages past Unenlightened shadows cast Down through all eternity The crying of humanity 'Tis then when the Hurdy Gurdy Man Comes singing songs of love. - Donovan

Well, you may add Friday night high school football games to the growing list of places in this country where some numb nut bastard can whip out a weapon at any time, open fire and hurt or kill people. ‘Murica!

Before they dropped Jefferson from the band’s name and slid into the world of cheesy 80s pop, they took one last stab at politics in 1984 that the old Jefferson Airplane of the 1960s was kinda known for.

I can see it in the faces

We got trouble in the streets tonight

And power keeps us in our places

And it doesn't matter if you're left or right

You lay it on the line

There’s no rain tonight on the beautiful Sunday evening in the great Wisconsin northwoods. I expect a Barred Owl or two will kick in soon from a tree line on the yard’s perimeter. In the meantime …

Must be a beautiful Friday night here on deck in the great northwoods of Wisconsin, suitable for framing or maybe some tuneage from Elton John.

nostr:npub18p53pdknfz0rlgvshnxntr6nvcj4h3ccl35rnv45jf078vtvm0jqqyk3aj I think it might be at the Cord/Auburn/Duesenberg Museum in Indiana

There’s a bright spot or two - my grandson Miles celebrated his eighth birthday on 3 August and my battle buddy Fred turned 46 on 1 August but other than that, the month of August can suck pretty bad; it’s the month in 2006 my oldest son Ryan was KIA in Iraq and buried 17 years ago on this date (14 August). One of the ways I cope is by sharing photos of ships, lighthouses, owls, song links, random thoughts from other folks and political crap with people here. Hope you don’t mind.

There it is: I know it’s how I roll.

The actual album version is something like 11 minutes long. I’m gonna compromise and go with a slightly shorter rendition from The Chambers Brothers.
