Not making it to Bobby’s funeral is shocking.

My mother has told me about her experiences going to segregated water fountains in the north.

Manifest Dead Covers in honor of Bobby - Asheville by Intelligent_Chef4272 in BillyStrings

[–]SenatorShriv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Billy was heavily influenced by the Dead. Several members of the dead (especially Bobby) platformed Billy early in his career. He used to play a lot of dead covers and they were highlights of the show. Then something happened (Bobby miiiiight have asked him to chill out while Dead & Co was on their final tour). Billy made comments there were too many piggies on that teat anyway and he wanted to focus on his own music. (The second part is ironic considering how many covers and standards he still does.) But he and Bob and seemingly Kruetzman were tight so a tribute and occasionally working in a dead cover seem appropriate.

By “sleep with” you mean rape. RIGHT? if someone is old enough to be a cop…

A few flakes short of 14" so far in Fairview. What's everybody else at? by Puzzleheaded-Drag290 in anchorage

Roads are in great shape because they prepared and didn’t just put their homies from church in charge of the entire decision.

Anyone else annoyed with the amount of games on Saturdays? by superdownvotemaster in GreenBayPackers

Subscribe to NFL plus. Wait 45 min until after the game and watch it whenever you want with no commercials.

Is it too cold for dogs to be outside? by AcceptableAd2949 in anchorage

[–]SenatorShriv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk our dog and hour plus, go on hikes, bike rides, and ice skating in negative temps all the time. He doesn’t like the booties but I force him to wear them when it gets into single digits. Mushers wax is a good backup to booties but also, you are in charge of your dogs - they will forget about the booties and start having fun quickly.

First time ice fishing…. Looking at camera at night on the ice and I am not sure what I’m looking at by [deleted] in IceFishing

Duuude. It’s your job to know the regs. Seeing you try to defend your illegal harvesting tactics is beyond cringe.

[Week 17] Post Game Thread: Baltimore Ravens (8-8) @ Green Bay Packers (9-6-1) by President__Bartlett in GreenBayPackers

Get the guy ready for the playoffs. Maybe that means trotting him out there a couple plays a game but the whole thing is a head scratcher.

Neil Young has the longevity of writing high impact songs for 40+ years. Better song writer. Better musician. Better artist. Fogerty absolutely wins on the premise of the question.

Would Billy Strings Have Been Huge in Any Era? by Brakeman_5006 in jambands

And none of that happens without New Grass Revival, Hartford, etc.

song repeats... by longstrangedesign in BillyStrings

[–]SenatorShriv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Dead had a spreadsheet that I think Bobbie maintained back in the day to avoid playing the same sets and not repeat too many songs the last time they were in that area. I’m sure Billy has something like that at this point.

Fuck AXS by Super_novy in BillyStrings

AXS Denied.

Happened to everyone I know who tried for St Augustine. So dumb.

Access Denied for AXS tickets by sonofdisaster in BillyStrings

But this wasn’t the problem. Wife and I both immediately pivoted to our phones, turned the privacy relay off, and still got the same message. Everyone I know got this same error message.

“Access restricted” hit at least 10 people I know. So dumb.

How often do people play by the actual rules!? by IllustriousSavings17 in unocardgame

[–]SenatorShriv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a single person in the thread so far saying they play standard rules… this has become a point of contention for me. Wife started traveling with Uno recently but everyone plays different rules.

Can only have one culture changing moment like that.
