Well, Garcia never ever did anything he didn't want to.

For some things that worked out well.

But it also led to his early death from a combination of heart disease and severe diabetes; he would NOT control his eating, drinking, and drug intake, because he didn't WANT to.

Lost my best friend that way. He was 63, over 350 lbs, and getting bigger. He went from "everything's cool" to the grave in less than 6 months. He wouldn't even let his wife talk to him about his habits, much less me. Still miss him.

I get a bit confused with Sunn O))) and Neil Young's Rust tour.

It's not too far, sonically, from Neil's Arc album to what SunnO))) does. Oh, did I say sonically? Neil also had SY as an opener during the Ragged Glory era, much to the discomfort of all the old hippies that came to hear "Old Man". I would have loved to have witnessed that. All I saw with Neil in that time period was Social Distortion, who split the difference between punk and country.

Hey, Hey, My, My (Into the Black) may have been the first Neil Young song that perked my ears. Can probably credit Crazy Horse, Old Black, and that modern primitive sound they made. I wasn't dialed into Neil's earlier stuff until mid-late 80's while attending Sonoma State. Definitely and clash of hippy, punk and goth going on at the time.

I don't know about how listening to music was when you were coming up, but I am happy we no longer live in a time where if you liked rock, you could only listen to rock, and hang out with the people who liked rock. One had to be convert if they wanted to listen to a genre outside the stereotype. What's nice now, is that we can listen to whatever we want without being pigeonholed to one genre of music, which is great for artists.

Ha, I witnessed this first hand. At the Orlando stop, both Social Distortion and Sonic Youth opened. Not many people were there during Social D's set, but plenty were by the time SY came on. I saw a number of middle-aged folks retreating to the concession stands, including one in a tie-dye shirt with his hands over his ears and his arms dramatically pointing outward. Me, I enjoyed all three sets.

IDK, Louis says it's the original band

OK, so if that's Louis Cennamo you're referring to, that would be the earlier line-up. Led Zep wasn't the only band spawned from the Yardbirds; when they finally packed it in, singer Keith Relf and drummer Jim McCarty then went to an acoustic folk/pop style. As that didn't take off, they put together a band in a classical rock direction, which was coming into vogue at the time, with Relf's sister Jane on vocals, and Keith on guitar/vocs. Joined by John Hawkins, keyboards (ex-Nashville Teens)and Cennamo on bass, the group put out an album, toured, but it fell apart while recording a second, leaving just Jane and Hawkins and some new recruits to finnish. After that pair bailed, the new guys found Annie, and the rest is history. Louis joined up again with Keith to form a short lived hard rock band, Armageddon….

Beyonce is sliding off the front of her ridiculous shoe, it's hard to believe we still have women wearing shoes that literally damage their feet.
I (sort of) understand the idea of fashion but all three of those women look awfully silly.
