Robocop 3 = #2
Is the sewer town the inspiration for the Futurama mutant city? I’m looking at you, ugly.

I don't think so.
Sewer city is under New New York and Robocop is in Detroit aka Delta city.
Also the one in Futurama is the place all mutants hang, Robocop no mutants.

Ever heard Hart play the beam? It's pretty impressive. When I saw those "Fare Thee Well" shows in Chicago in '15, he played it, it floored me. Only time I didn't use drums/space as a bathroom break.i was hoping for audio.
I now realize that none of that will make any sense to any non-Deadheads.
i am a non-gdead zone.
saw them in their heyday (72 i think, at the hollywood bowl). didn’t get it. oh well.
i did like the apocalypse now soundtrack.

We can hang :beer:
My biggest beef w/ the Dead is that when I hear Phil Lesh talk about music and what he's trying to achieve on the bass in the Dead's music, I think "Yeah! Cool! This guy gets it! I really want to hear some of that!"
...and then I listen to the music, and his bass playing is indistinguishable from modal wanking. None of the musically substantive stuff he talks about is audible in his playing, at least not beneath the morass of noodling.
Ugh, don't get me started on the whole "jam band" phenom... :vomits:
Here's a clip of the Beam that I captured a few years ago:
It was an impressive sound - the best part was it finally chased out the yuppie tourist family sitting in front of me that was obviously there because of John Mayer.
I found my way into the Dead via the proggier odd-meter stuff from the mid-'70s. I was fortunate to see them a few times, not great shows but I did witness the shamanistic spontaneous summoning of something beyond that got the entire Boston Garden vibrating sympathetically. I get it that some people don't get it - consider myself lucky to have got it, and to have found something similar elsewhere, for example in CAN.

Oh, I have a different beef with Tacuma
...that one's based more on execution than content.Still, I can't deny that his Renaissance Man album (as well as his work w/ Prime Time) was hugely influential on my music and bass playing approach.
...or some of it, at least.
I'd listen to a whole evening of that.

I dig him, but in small doses.
I find his timing occasionally suspect, and his articulation almost consistently devoid of expression...or even variety.
i saw j tacuma a few times in the 80s, when he was a “star.” imo, he played/repeated a *lot* of simple patterns, shifting positions on the neck. seemed like an easy way out and was not my thing.
saw him in l.a. a few months before the pandemic and he flat out killed it.
talked to him a bit; follow him on social media. seems like a good dude.
and can really dress and has *style* (of which i am extremely jealous).
the gdead were so influential in the music tech thing and culturally, it’s not even funny. i wish i liked their music better.
i liked my jam band in the 70s to be fueled by coke and testosterone (the allman bros band).
(strangely, i prefer heroin bill evans to coke bill evans.)

I love them both. One of my favorite musicians period.
So sad.
To quote his close family.
"The slowest suicide anyone can do".
i listened to that whole coke era village vanguard set and you can really hear the coke at work. the start of the sets (presumably right after getting bumped) are noticeably more hyper, usually calming down toward the midway point or the end of the set. i recall that a doc on him said he was doing prodigious amounts of come at that time. ugh.
slow suicide indeed.
totally a fave of mine as well.
