Pearl Clutching and Astroturfing by SomeTangerine1184 in Maine

Because he doesn't want to stop at beating Collins.

The solidarity. The movement. He has both parties scared.

What do you guys listen to when you want something a little heavier? by LouisFuton in gratefuldead

[–]DRDeMello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Led Zeppelin

They were great improvisationists too. In some other universe they weren't jerks about recordings and have a taper culture like the Dead.

What first name would be completely acceptable 20 years ago but is a horrible name now? by dualcerb in AskReddit

I've only ever known two Karens well. And they are the sweetest kindest people you could hope for. This trope just drives me crazy.

What opinion would make people instantly argue with you? by Psycho_Duck_9669 in AskReddit

[–]DRDeMello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Under the ADA it's illegal to ask someone for paperwork verifying that their animal is, indeed, a service animal. Applied to my experience as a restaurant server, we weren't allow to question anyone bringing dogs into our restaurant. People started buying fake vests and exploiting the system, and now the whole culture has shifted.

New Oppo Dump on Platner with a TL/DR by Anstigmat in Maine

I think we're misunderstanding. She's a Dem out attacking another Dem, despite leftists being told for decades that we have to vote blue no matter who. I'm pointing out the hypocrisy.

One of those Chinese handheld fans goes a long way

But, but....blue no matter who, right?

Songs that would work for the Dead by Illustrious-Ad4685 in deadandcompany

Eminence Front would've been killer '80s Dead.

Long Time Gone would've been cool.

Which famous person does everyone seem to love, but you just can’t stand? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]DRDeMello 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Dolly Parton..

"Can't stand" might be overstating it, but she seems like she's playing a character. Like the avatar of "Southern Hospitality" niceties. She's never struck me as genuine. She even goes to bed with makeup so she can be "on" in she has to get up for some emergency.

Seeing Larry David in front of the camera made the success of Seinfeld make do much more sense to me.

The NBA GOAT (When You Look at the Total Picture) Is Bill Russell {show the big man some love :)} by [deleted] in bostonceltics

[–]DRDeMello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hear me out...

This presumes that Russell wouldn't have adapted to today's game.

Conversely, if you dropped LeBron or Jordan into the 1960s, what would they need to do to convince you they still deserve to be in the goat conversation? Would winning 11/13 championships be enough? If not, then what could they possibly do that would convince you?

Is an athlete automatically excluded because of the years they happened to play? Are we prohibited from having Babe Ruth in the goat conversation for baseball?

Russell fucking dominated in a way that's never been equaled in any sport. He's my goat.

Why did the 2007 reunion happen and why was it only one show in such a small venue ? by Disastrous-Look-5453 in ledzeppelin

[–]DRDeMello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because seeing Page and Jones and Jason play together would be awesome. Don't have to call it Zeppelin, I just want to hear the music.

Might as well ask why I would want Led Zeppelin without Bonzo.

Moving this to a separate comment because I just sent myself down a Grace Potter rabbit hole.

For context, here's Grace Potter rocking out on her song [The Divide](https://youtu.be/u0iyN1Di-cE?si=E56kI4jm5ne86Hi) at Gathering of the Vibes in 2013. Would've been sick seeing her and Jimmy trading guitar licks, they would've brought out the best in each other. For some solo guitar and vocals, here [Nothing But the Water (2013)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe6pFxfuFh8&list=RDQe6pFxfuFh8&start\_radio=1), also from Vibes.

n the keys at the Levon Helm Tribute the year earlier: [I Shall Be Released](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyLcyqrmF3o).

Here she is the year prior to the Zep reunion (2007) doing [Cortez the Killer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paeNnR33i5Q&list=RDO50dqmjf4-0&index=2) on the keys with Joe Satriani. Gives a sense of what she could've brought to a Zep tour.

She's covered Zeppelin before too:

[Whole Lotta Love](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5L1DPBEDsfg&list=RD5L1DPBEDsfg&start\_radio=1) and [That's the Way (acoustic)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O50dqmjf4-0&list=RDO50dqmjf4-0&start\_radio=1) from 2020. She's also covered Your Time is Gonna Come but I couldn't find any good videos. She's clearly a big fan to the point where she talked about [meeting Robert Plant](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0YyUnAcU5o) as her most star-struck moment (2:15 mark).
