RIP #jazz great #LouDonaldson. Saw him in the mid 2010's. He was still joking about "con-fusion-ist" jazz.

Bear complained the band limited him to songs that hadn't been released live before. No excuse for not including a Weather Report Suite or 10-19-1974's Eyes of the World > China Doll.
Load all forty-four songs in a music player and the Soundtrack looks jumbled. Check the track listing for the discs. Each CD is it's own, individual trip. #GratefulDead

Being a former Haight-Ashbury acidhead who hated psychedelic rock isn't close to the weirdest thing about him. I've read he didn't want this job until the band offered rare blues records in trade.
Like Crumb's work even though lots is indefensible. He always struck me as someone exploring his bigotries and perversions. Trying to understand, not promote them. Pretty sure if I was a woman or POC, that distinction would count for jack shit.

You'd expect a band to cover pop stars of their youth. Wild that they listened to scratchy, hissy 78s of backwoods bellowing, and heard something they wanted to copy.

#RFKJr thought others would believe:
1. It's normal to find a bear carcass in Central Park.
2. A 44 lb. bear cub would die from being hit by a bike.
3. Someone who killed a bear cub would abandon their bike and flee on foot.
It's more than weird. It's damning evidence his judgment sucks.

Was going to write about the spareness of the sound, but there's only a drummer missing from the February 1970-February 1971 line up. And I've never noticed the near-lack of keyboards on those classic April, 1971 Fillmore East shows.

I didn't know until they released their last deluxe edition that they worked on "Unbroken Chain" during the "Wake of the Flood" sessions. Now it seems obvious. The song fits better with WOTF's pastoral mysticism than Mars Hotel's earthy blues.
