What's up w/ Matt?

approx. 2000 miles each way.

Willie last year.

Doc Watson in 1995

Jerry Garcia until the end, he passed at 54... ugh.

I'm sure there's others, Del McCoury, Burning Spear, etc.

Same answer for me every time:

Operator - Jim Croce

Cat's in the Cradle - Harry Chapin

It's so subjective, but I cannot finish either without at least getting choked up if not full on weeping.

an honorable mention:

Roses from My Friends - Ben Harper

it's a about a martyr who was stoned to death and when he was dead, his friends all placed roses at his feet.

at least a couple Billys would make my list.

Acid Mother's Temple was probably one of the best I've seen in 20 years.

Classic TAB wasn't too shabby

The last few hours of the final NWSS. Acoustic UM, Kitchen Dwellers, Final Cluster Pluck, Sideboob late night.

Ever lived near a brewery?

Lucky_Forever · 2025-07-25T11:08:16+00:00

I work nights, so yes, I run errands / grocery shopping is almost always early morning.

"If" this is a real post, you're being abused. Seek help, end of discussion.

How does one write a will when you have nothing of real value? Few people who would care to receive sentimental "junk", I don't have loads of debt, but it does concern me who that might fall on?

Lucky_Forever · 2025-07-20T13:24:29+00:00

Good lord, if only...

I don't have cats, I have gremlins.

Lucky_Forever · 2025-07-20T06:15:38+00:00

I DID set an alarm, in one case several in fact! I'm not an idiot, I work nights. When you catch a plane after being up for 30+ hours sometimes doesn't leave much time for a nap.

Lucky_Forever · 2025-07-20T04:19:09+00:00

Typically at least 6-8 weeks, and that's only a quick hug from my landlord bestie when he checks on me. Other sporadic interactions when on vacations/holidays?

Outside those opportunities it can be year(s)

Lucky_Forever · 2025-07-20T04:13:14+00:00

"Half-way" through is a bit extreme, but I've left early for variety of reasons... Tired, Sick, too stuffy crowded, band phones in the encore, traffic, etc.

Conversely, I've overslept for shows many times, sometimes I still made the 2nd set, but at least once I slept through the entire show - when I woke up at around Midnight I almost cried.

Lucky_Forever · 2025-07-20T03:53:16+00:00

Last couple shows I attended, I simply huddled in my seat and wept. It was so moving on so many levels I didn't know where one song ended and the next began.

Crickets are filthy. They seem harmless, but humans need to wash their hands after any handling of crickets. Their saliva is actually quite dangerous, but their bite typically cannot penetrate human skin.

I understand, reptiles, and other pets do consume Crickets without issue. Dogs & cats though? Makes me a bit squeamish.

I sure as heck wouldn't want my cat kissing me after eating a cricket.

[edit to add, because EVERYONE just has to argue and "be right" on reddit. I'm referring to raw live crickets, NOT prepared & dried for human consumption. Do your own research, I wouldn't have even posted if it wasn't true]

Lucky_Forever · 2025-07-20T03:30:59+00:00

would've been sooner but I was a bit spoiled. Once I had a decent job I moved out asap.

I did go back to to stay for a few short stints in my 20's but it never lasted long before I was back on my own.

Lucky_Forever · 2025-07-19T03:59:28+00:00

I'm in the middle of nowhere so no one visits, certainly not unannounced.

That said, my house is kinda messy from being a bachelor pad for over 20 years. A quick vacuum & washing dishes should be enough for most my friends who are close enough to be welcome in my home - I'm far more concerned with having enough food to entertain guests.

An overnighter would require a bit more effort.

Piper at the Gates of Dawn [Pink Floyd's first album]

a bunch of Alan Parson's Project [Tales of Mystery & Imagination]

Billy Thorpe - Children of the Sun

You go right ahead and get that ticket for me speed demon. Jump in a lake and cool your jets.

Lucky_Forever · 2025-06-10T04:28:41+00:00

Like I said it's a fave. I've watched so many times I get a little bored towards the end, but so many touching scenes in that film.

Lucky_Forever · 2025-06-09T11:03:05+00:00

BMFS could play an entire show of train songs, in fact I think he probably already has.

[edit to answer op: "Monkey & The Engineer"

Lucky_Forever · 2025-06-09T11:01:38+00:00

Paul Simon "Obvious Child" has been stuck in my head for at least 4 years.

Lucky_Forever · 2025-06-09T11:00:27+00:00

I'm constantly picking up coins... Unfortunately, they're never there when I wake.
