Richie Havens was not set to go first at Woodstock, but the band, Sweetwater was stuck in traffic. So, Richie not only had to go first, but had to play until Sweetwater finally arrived.

I absolutely agree that the orders are BS, but I find it hard to believe a "dumbfuck," like you ever served. Having served in the 70s, I learned long ago that arguing with stupid is exercise in futility. I won't even look at your response. It won't be an apology to those currently in the military.
Alan in NC (@ajfromcary.bsky.social) reply parent
Hey, it's reprehensible to call these military people dumbfucks. Most of them went into the military during a different administration, to protect immature, unappreciative fools like yourself, and now they're stuck between a rock and a hard place. I'm just glad Trump wasn't prez during my army days.

Rooster by Alice in Chains. TW upsetting video. Really talented band and sad song. "My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath. Oh, God, please, won't you help me make it through? Mm-mm." Was written for Jerry Cantrell's father and his experience in Vietnam. #musicsky #nowplaying youtu.be/uAE6Il6OTcs

I saw a headline that read, "Bondi: 68 arrested on Capitol Hill." For a tiny portion of a second, I read it as, "Bondi, 68, arrested on Capitol Hill." In that very brief moment, two thoughts passed through my mind. 1: I didn't realize she was that old. 2: It's about damn time, someone arrested her.

With it's 1966 release, the Chambers Brothers original was one of the earliest examples of psychedelic music.
Alan in NC (@ajfromcary.bsky.social) reply parent
Kicks, a 1966 hit for Paul Revere & the Raiders was composed by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. The song doesn't explicitly mention that the warning is about drug use, but the implication is obvious. Todd Rundgren's band Nazz made an excellent cover in 1970. youtu.be/lLomSaLLSzg?...

Hamas is a reprehensible organization. However, they don't have nearly the size, weaponry, or strength of the IDF. The illegal terrorism waged by Netanyahu is so evil it will surely create a generation of Israel hating jihadists among those Gazans fortunate enough to remain alive.
