Weller Special Reserve poured. I got a barrage of good news today:

- got paid $1000 for a job I did that I thought I was just doing as a volunteer 

- I did a very small charity fundraiser and we estimated we made $2000. The final count came in and we made $4500

- a woman who I grew up next to when I was a kid passed away (ok that’s not good) and I haven’t seen her or her family since we moved when I was maybe 10? She left me $5000.

265. Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath

Also considered: Wind Up

as somebody said, about anything off of Aqualung would work.  Locomotive Breath is special to me because that was their opener at Hara Arena in late '77.  I went with my best buddy, who passed away a couple of years ago.  It was a top 5 concert of all time for me - and it was also the most scared I have ever been at a concert. 

The Who concert disaster hadn't happened yet and so it was festival seating on the floor so we got there early.  It was cold, but not freezing as I recall ...we got there about 4-4:30pm, got doobed up in the car and walked up to the left side glass front doors, they had the right-hand side ones blocked off. I think the concert was supposed to start at 8pm.  

We were only about 3-4 people deep with ropes and poles funneling people into the doors.  It got later, and later and crowd got pretty big ...and pretty restless.  They hadn't opened the doors yet and it was pretty close to 8pm.  #######s in the back - like 15-20 people deep started pushing, and then leaning, and then throwing their bodies into the people in front of them.  The people next to the doors were getting squished into the glass doors and then other people started screaming they couldn't breathe ...but the #######s just kept pushing.  You couldn't do anything ...your arms were pinned to your sides and your feet were slightly off the ground.  

There was a little crease and a girl beside us slid/fell down and then people were stepping on her because they couldn't help it.  She was screaming her ### off ...we thought she was going to die.  The surge got so strong, the doors broke open, and all hell broke loose.  We were just carried into the small "lobby" area where there was one of those flimsy, floor-to-ceiling metal gates that pull across an opening on a slider.  Everyone spilled into the area and without hesitation, just charged that expansion fence and pushed it up and out of the way until they could get through ...it finally broke off the hinge in the ceiling.  

It was mass chaos - cops were just swinging their billy clubs side-to-side to keep from getting run over.  We charged in with the rest of them and ended up in the first row on the floor.  Standing of course - all the folding chairs on the floor were kicked, thrown out of the way, a bunch were scattered at the back on the floor.  

No idea, what happened to the girl, we did hear there were some injuries from the mini-stampede and from broken glass.  Pretty damn scary though.

Man, first, I love this story. Not because of the bad stuff, but because you just pulled me into that scene as if I was there.

I have been reading Game of Thrones the past 2 days, and this rivals anything I have read during that time.

2nd - I'm glad you ok.

Bink, you kill'n the literature tonight.

I absolutely love this fragment.

I imagine a Narrator using this to open a scene --- into what? I'm not sure yet - but, I know it will be worth watching.

so weird that thought came to me when I thought of Arlo Guthrie.  

It was the 60s, no Taco Bell, we didn't have ethnic restaurants or even tiny spaces on the shelves in Kroger for ethnic foods (that I remember anyway ...there was probably something).  I do remember having to fry and shape the shells - you have to have a metal rack for them to harden in the "U" shape.  And cumin?  what the #### is cumin?  

Hell, we didn't even have McDonalds in our town yet - we had Burger Chef.  

But to this day (outside of not having to fry the shells) my mom makes tacos exactly like that hippie neighbor girl taught her.

OK/ Sincere here.

Today, I think album covers are much less impacting.

When that Boston cover came out, I'm not sure if MTV had hit yet, but - for the most part - reading lyrics and delving into the album art were the top choices for solitary listening.

I'm not sure when that changed, but MTV was a big part of it.

Thus, based on age vs. MTV, it makes perfect sense to me that you would not have noticed.

Hell, irt to today's music, I could not pick an album cover out of a lineup - I'm pretty sure on that.

we lived with those album covers, studied them, tried to interpret them - and lots of times the album sleeves had stuff on them too.  Really lost that when so much went to cassette ...and then CD.  You could get more on the CD and even get some fold-out stuff in the case

...but the albums had so much more room for activities.
