that’s some second set.
1. Does it count as unbuttered grilled cheese, if I just melt some cheese on bread in the toaster oven? Cause I love that shit. Put me in the 38% for that
2. Re that second set, if it was at SPAC or Red Rocks or something heads would saying it was epic. Epic, braj! And honestly I might prefer that encore to, say, Mighty Quinn.
3. I hate the fucking Eagles, man.
4. Re basketball head, as always, fuck him.
Pro-level Eagles hate. I fully approve!
Eagles hate makes total sense…the Dead (and any iteration thereof) were (and are) ALL about NOT doing it the same way Again. The Eagles (and any iteration thereof) were (and are) ALL about DOING it the same way AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN.
Now, what we have here is a clear case of “would you rather NEVER hear it the same way twice?” or ”
would you rather NEVER hear it a Second way, than you’d come to Expect it to Hear?”
Or more simply, Mistakes versus Stagnation.
Which is YET another way of asking: do you want Freedom or Calm?

Give me variety and an occasional outbreak of competence. I’ll make up my own mind.
Hope that chocolate lab and his “daughter” are well, wherever they are.
Totally with you, somebloke, especially about the chocolate lab & his “daughter.” An interesting take on “Mistakes versus Stagnation” is that of Steely Dan; they recorded it once, immaculately, and left it at that. They avoided stagnation, mostly, by moving ahead. I find them a little bit sterile at times, but often engaging if’n you don’t listen to the same track too often (variety by switching to another album).
And then, I get to hear live recordings from 1993. Because they actually did tour a few times in the history of the band. Oh, they could do it another way!
