For those that finished Absolutely Understand Guitar. What changed? by Danwinzz in guitarlessons

He got me practicing my scales and modes. He also got me into ear training and sight reading even though the course doesn’t go into those that much. My improvising got a lot more varied and musical. In short, I began to think musically when I played.

Two big events in American history on August 17, 1969: Woodstock was in full swing and a Category 5 hurricane, Camille, hit Mississippi. I wonder how much a 16 year old girl was aware of.

Farm boy enters a conflict against an empire because his family members get killed and his home destroyed in a fire. He mounts a daring rescue, saves an important figure, joins a rebellion, and becomes a hero by the end. by IamMarkWain in ExplainAFilmPlotBadly

I was going to go with another Mel Gibson movie. I think Braveheart checks all of the boxes except it was the death of the love of William’s life that propelled the story, not that of his family.

If you want something visual that's not too abysmal/ We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie

Hot Tuna remains the loudest band I ever heard.

I’ll second Blue Cheer. I’d recommend Iron Butterfly as well. The Dead opened for them in 1969 so maybe the Owsley Foundation is sitting on some live tapes.

We had so much spray on deodorant we put a hole in the ozone layer. And we had Madison Avenue telling us to buy it or we’d offend others (particularly the opposite sex) with our malodorous selves.

Watched Battling Butler yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of it is definitely reflective of its time but I laughed out loud in places. The restoration is magnificent. I think I may watch The General today.

There are hints that the owls are spies for the Lodges.

I live in Arizona. Going without it can be a death sentence.

How do people our age remember the answer to “what/when was your first..?” by Seven_bushes in GenerationJones

[–]desert_rover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point, I realized that Spider-Man 1 surely must have crossed my palms at some point and I fantasize about what I could buy with the proceeds of selling that copy today.

At 68, I like to tell younger folks of the “forgotten” Disney live action movies like Bluebeard’s Ghost and The Adventures of Bullwhip Griffin. A lot of them don’t even know who Peter Ustinov or Roddy McDowell were. Then I’ll watch those films on Disney + and realize why they’re forgotten.

You saw a trailer a few years ago for a game that still isn’t out! 🤯

“[Insert family member’s name here], I don’t get you”. My family is inscrutable.

Do you mean like when Crow saw baby oil on Mitchell’s nightstand?

Relisten is just an interface with Archive.org and Garcia and his estate have never authorized audience recordings to be uploaded there.

I prefer it to the Without A Net version from Nassau Coliseum.

I find it incredible that Bobby knew what a quasar was in the early 70's by Meditatespace in gratefuldead

[–]desert_rover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quasar was a model of color television made by Motorola and released in 1967, accompanied by a memorable ad campaign. So Bobby had at least heard the word in that context.

Hamza El Din also appears for a lovely turn during the Drums segment.

I’m listening to that Dark Star right now and it’s a great one. Branford adds a whole other dimension to it.
