Drove 200 miles to see Ten Years After in Chicago - right after they released I'd Love to Change The World.

The place was like a huge gym - no seats or bleachers. About 3,000 people crammed on the floor.

5 absolutely crappy bands before TYA. About 7 hours of sore butts and broken ear drums before Alvin and crew took the stage.

By the time they were halfway through their first song the crowd was screaming "Play I'm Going Home" so loud you could hardly hear the band. People were climbing on the stage and being thrown back into the audience by the bouncers.

After the first song the band left the stage and the MC came out and talked the crowd down over about a half hour or so.

Then the band came back out and started to play "I'd Love To Change the World" - the song I totally wanted to hear, but the crowd again went crazy screaming for "I'm Going Home" again and climbing back on the stage. Halfway through "I'd Love..." they stopped, Alvin leaned into the mike and said "Alright God Dammit! Were going home", played the song and left.

The only time on acid I wanted to kill, kill, kill the bastard audience!

August 24, 1969 I went to the Rose Palace in Pasadena Ca. To see---
Spirit
Spencer Davis
Ten Years After
and headlining was
John Mayal
After TYA did their set John Mayal came out on stage and announced that his band was still at the airport and he had just got to the Palace so he had TYA back his whole set! One of the best shows I have ever been to!

Those were the days, concerts were cheap and most venues were small enough to be intimate with the performers.

I saw Hendrix on his first American tour in Madison Wi. in a loft that held 400 people.

Sat on the floor about 20 feet from the stage.

Saw BB King in a bar, performing for about 75 people.

Maybe we should all make a date to swap concert stories. Me'n Old Uncle Dave went to see Mayal at the Raven in Healdsburg. OMG! Also saw Johnny Winter there and it made Dave deaf for life and started my hair turning white!

I thought Alvin Lee was the sexiest thing going when I was a teeny-bopper.

I've never in my life lowered myself to competing in circumlocution with a woman.
—Viktor Yanukovych

Women really are the other half of the sky.
—John Lennon

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
—John F. Kennedy

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.
—not uttered by anyone in charge lately

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.
—Howard Zinn

...the government only starts listening to its voters once the more corrupt option turns out to be untenable.
—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
—Michael Parenti
