It can be a lot of fun surfing through YouTube, starting out with one intention and following the breadcrumbs to something very different. At any rate, I ran across this video of one of my all-time favorite guitarists, John Cipollina, best known for his work with Quicksilver Messenger. This is from a band he formed with the terrific blues-rock belter Nick Gravenites (think Butterfield, Electric Flag). This cut is almost all Cipollina which is, I think, a rarity. From 1980.
Tomorrow is ANZAC Day – 100 years since Gallipoli. and why Australia and New Zealand recall it so well today.
And Armenia recalls their Genocide (shame on Obama for going back on his promise to call it so)
Lots of history happening today.

Full Concert
C&L, last evening, had this on LNMC.
And calling back to Fru’s “My country right or wrong” – here’s some more Aussies for ya!🙂
Yup, only other country to get suckered into Vietnam – Australia. Ann Coulter thought everyone did – bimbo.
Anyhow possibly the last Vietnam song.
Ok sports fans….. have to ship out…. going to the Olympics tomorrow and have to try for an early ferry.
I leave you with my fave Aussies….
OK, so from the files of #ohtheirony – “to indoctrinate children what some say are questionable beliefs.” – and teaching little kids that Jesus was an Indian and when you die you get a planet to rule …..???
Here’s another Aussie to sing about how to handle “the Festival of Life”…. warning – lotsa naughty words
Mormons are one of the most twisted religions on this earth.
Festival of Life is hilarious!
It’s debatable. Joe Smith was a convicted con man but L. Ron Hubbard was an admitted con man. Scientologists freak me out a bit more than Mormons.
There’s more Mor(m)ons around …. and no one takes Tom Cruise seriously anymore.
And one of those Mor(m)ons was 5% of the electorate away from the presidency. Mormonism is a serious attempt to take over the world. Scientology is just a jest…. but then in the 1840s so was Mor(m)onism.
Yeah. It’s complicated. Here’s how I look at it.
Joe Smith was convicted of being a con man by a jury of his peers. L. Ron Hubbard admitted he was a con man before anyone bought his con. I am forced to conclude that the followers of Hubbard are a bit more insane than the followers of Joe Smith.
I don’t think that the people who voted for Mittens are any more, or less, insane than the people who voted for Dubbya but, when discussing insane people, it’s all just a matter of degree.
Scientology is frightening. Mega money. When they sue people for dissing the idiocy that is the ‘religion’ they win…their money never seems to end.
Bruce Jenner is a woman now.
Is it wrong that I really don’t care one way or the other? Really, it’s none of my business.
I see that softball and I swing for the bleachers….
And it’s a Grand Slam…
Other way to look at it, a woman simply blew the men away in the Montreal Olympics decathalon…….
TtT – great gravatar. Mother Nature making a comeback after a fire!
From last week…. hiked up on the snow line at Devils Ridgeback south of Lake Chelan. Was first up there as there were no footprints.
Got hit up with a bunch of c**k rock that just makes you want to belt it out – even when you are stuck in Friday traffic on I-5….. check out this one…. see the dweeb from the Buggles head banging in the front row.
wish I still had hair like this …. maybe if I kept it long I’d still have it? never see an old bald c**k rocker?
New discovery…. Russell Morris…. another Aussie
Night all
Sleep well, Turtle!
