GERMAN PROS: Beat Club, Musikladen, Rockpalast, pretzels.
GERMAN CONS: The thing you’re thinking of.
BRITISH PROS: How bitchin’ Ray’s hair looks.
BRITISH CONS: None; all national missteps are superseded by Ray’s full, bouncy glory.

I apologize for the paucity of posts lately, and that you haven’t been kept abreast of the happenings in Little Aleppo. They call it the Sunshine State, but it seems rather dark where I am right now.
Anyway, check out this collection of Beat Club performances.
Show of the Day Let’s go with 4/22/78 from Nashville, recently released as Dave’s Picks 15, but still up on the Archive. It’s bouncy and coked-up with a great Estimated>Eyes and one of the 20-minute full-band Drums that typifies this tour.
Non-Dead Show of the Day Stevie Wonder from the Beat Club in 1973. You know how good you already think it is? It’s so much better. Plus, Stevie’s drummer is funky as hell and possibly the coolest human on the planet. He was definitely the coolest guy in Germany while he was there.
Grammy Winner of the Day All of us who got to see that Demi Lovato performance. Do you know that she has poor self-esteem about her body? Same problems as Nina Simone.
Granny Winner of the Day Judi Finkelstein of Delray Beach, FL, who took the prize in her development’s Ladies-Only Pickleball Championships. Congrats, Judi.
Grateful Dead of the Day Well, it’s T-Shirt Tuesday, and Mickey is the King of T-Shirt Tuesday, so there you go.
Movie of the Day Hail, Caesar, which I’m going to see with Cousin of Thoughts on the Dead. (CoTotD.)
Pasta of the Day Rigatoni.
Got your ticket yet for the meet-up?
