Yeah, man.
In this video of "The Legendary Showdown" --Steve Gadd, Vinnie Colaiuta, and Dave Weckl, at the Buddy Rich Memorial Concert 1989, Los Angeles, I have skipped ahead to the part where Vinnie starts using one hand at a time, lol. Vinnie, may people agree, is the sickest (in the way the kids mean this) drummer out there, to this day. Somewhere I may have posted the story where Frank Zappa hands him a brand-new stack of "impossible" drum charts, and Vinnie immediately nails them. Sight-reading, while alternately using his "free" hands to eat a plate of sushi, flip pages, and push his glasses up his nose. Everyone in the room (I think Zappa, Steve Vai, and maybe Bozzio) were simply disgusted. He is, like, too good to be human.

Sometimes I like some primitive visceral thumping as well. Note Jimhelm at the mic. Them Crooked Vultures.

You're in good company, Dana--Temporary Blues is Minifobette's favorite song on that album.

Good stuff Dana!
We drove Lil'Griff up to Hamilton College today for a Junior Visit which gave us time to listen to the whole Alabama Shakes album. Fine piece of work. Note grin on bass player.

Been on my mind a lot lately. Proceed at your own risk.
Can a musician or someone like that explain to me why chorus of this song sounds a lot like the chorus of the Smithereens' Behind the Wall of Sleep?

Between this one and 'To This Day' ... great videos but they don't make it easier to put one foot in front of the other.
You did post a warning.

I know. It's how I process pain and sorrow, unfortunately. Resisting the pain only intensifies it. Embracing it takes away its power. Owning it puts you in charge.
Then there's trying to make sense of it all, while knowing that can't be done, and learning to accept uncertainty, embrace it, and then own it as well. At least that's the goal. The leap from the metaphorical "Hey you kids get off my goddamn lawn!" to "Let's go out on the lawn together." And if you are very fortunate it's all lawn, all you, all them.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that you shouldn't have posted the videos. They're great. I understand what you mean and to a large degree I do that too. I just need to take this a bit at a time; go out on that lawn for awhile but come back inside at times for a break. And so on.
