this one hits a little harder...

 so, i was sitting in my massage chair watching tv this afternoon and an alert came on my phone. i did a double take and said oh fuck. and then the alerts came one after another. music has been a constant companion to me my entire life. and i love that i have been exposed to so many different kinds of music and to so many different kinds of musicians. but, when my life took a bend toward poetry being my main thing, i tended to really listen to singer songwriters and folk bands, etc. and the one group that really caught my ear was The Band. Robbie Robertson died today at the age of 80. fucking prostate cancer. those songs from The Band stoked my creativity as much as anything in my entire life. this one hits a little harder than i was expecting. thanks for all the damn memories Robbie. 

i'll be writing the rest of this through tears, so if i start to ramble or not make any fucking sense...

the Yankees won last night at the White Sox, 7-1. hopefully, they will win the series tonight.

NXT was excellent last night.

the season finale of Dark Side of the Ring was crazy last night.

Deadliest Catch was good last night.

Don't Forget the Lyrics was pretty good last night.

Hard Knocks was really fucking good last night.

the season finale of Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge was very good.

enjoy some music:

and now some of this and that:

on the DVR tonight will be AEW Dynamite and Big Brother.

i did catch some of the Leagues Cup games last night.

peace and chicken grease...
