Dreamflower here. With Dead & Companyās tour starting next week, Iām sure weāre all going to be thinking of Rick and missing his one-of-a-kind commentary. In light of that, myself, Mr. Completely, and a few others wanted to find a way to show our love for Rick and connect with other enthusiasts out there.Ā
So, in collaboration with Rickās wonderful family, weāve cooked upā¦

Morning, Enthusiasts, BoTD here with a sad guest post. Ā Our esteemed captain, ToTD, Rick Harris, passed away this morning at the the terribly young age of 46. Cancer is a savage beast and it took him quickly and, at the end, brutally. Ā He left here surrounded by his family and embraced by the love we have for him. Ā I wish he had left behind a draft post so that you could all hear his voice oneā¦

Already used eight of my lives.
Also: This is the single gayest thing ever filmed, and I am including actual homosexual pornographies..
Generally, one does not place the butt of a rifle against oneās party-area. This is because of physics. Equal and opposite reaction and all that. But thatās not what puts this over the top. (And Chuck Connors is most certainly a Top.) Itās the look he gives theā¦

No place like it.
(And, yes, I know Iāve posted this video a million times. Thereās a simple reason: Itās the greatest video ever made, and Ranveer Singh is a fucking Movie Star. How has Marvel not hired him?)

(Although I didnāt need to āget intoā Freedom. I played the shit out of this record in high school. Hell, my bandāA Bunch Of Guys From Franceāeven covered Rockinā In The Free World, but that may have been due to how few chords were in the song.)

Hunker, Dammit!
Hope all you rootinā-tootinā, six-gun shootinā, frown-on-pollutinā Enthusiasts from Texas are getting by. If youāre stuck inside and looking for something to read, hereās some great history from Lost Live Dead about the Deadās relationship with the Lone Star State.

This is Bob Seger (and his Silver Bullet Band) live at Cobo Hall on 6/15/80.
This is not Bob Seger (or his Silver Bullet Band), but donāt hold that against it.

RIP Chick
1969 was the Lost Quintet, so-called because the five musiciansāMr. Davis, Chick Corea, Jack DeJohnette, Dave Holland, and Wayne Shorterānever made a studio recording. Chick joined up in September of ā68, and was dragooned into playing the electric Fender Rhodes piano against his will.
Redundant.
FUCK OFF.
āDragoonedā implies that itās against oneās will.Ā
I said āfuck off.ā I yelled it, as aā¦
