Certainly..."Surrealistic Pillow"...Jefferson Airplane....

I have a great story related to Jefferson Airplane. A number of years ago there was a concert in New Haven that had the Airplane and Chuck Berry on the bill. The Airplane was on before Chuck and I was there with a bunch of my friends who were there for Airplane (I was there to heare Chuck). The concert was held in a hockey arena with the tunnel all around the rink. While the Airplane was on I went for a walk around the tunnel and came across a door with a very large black man standing in it. I asked him, "Is Mr Berry in there?" He answered Yes. I said, "I would love to meet him and tell him how much I love his music." The guy in the door said, "Well come on in." and he stepped aside to let me pass. I walked in and there were some chairs and a sofa and Chuck Berry and some of his band were sitting around having some beers.

I approached Chuck and told how much I loved his music and thanked him for his contribution to rock and roll. He said thanks, gave a beer, and said "Sit awhile and lets get to know each other." I sat there for about 15 minutes talking with the GOD of rock and roll like he was just another guy drinking a beer with him. Then I went back to my seat and told my friends what had happened. To this day those guys don't believe me but it is absolutely true.

Chuck Berry came on and was awesome. He played Roll Over Beatoven and some youngster about three rows back said very loudly, "Hey why is that black guy playing that Beatles song?" My friends and I all told him he had that a little wrong and had a good laugh.

There are a lot of threads about songs for this and that (i.e. your favorite song to week to while eating a pint of Ben and Jerry's, etc.). But we rarely address whole albums anymore. I remember back before Ipods, I would put a CD in my stereo, put my headphones on and listen to an album all the way through. Find those little gem songs that the artists put in, but never get any radio play. Sometimes the album is conceptual and each song adds to a greater work of art. The fact is, that with randomizers, play lists and buying songs one song at a time, we miss the whole work, which is often greater than the sum of its parts.

60's - Abby Road - Beatles

70's - Animals - Pink Floyd

80's - Calm Animals - The Fixx

90's - 99.9f - Susan Vega

00's - Them Crooked Vultures

I love Quantum by planet X. Every track is amazingly intricate and beautiful, I can listen to it and relate no matter what mood I am in. Top tier musicianship and complex composition with no sacrifice to emotion.

[The drummer doesn't want to make a new album because they don't make any money, so please go check them out. You'll do the world a favor if you help persuade them.]

Tied for second are Octavarium by Dream Theater and Meddle by Floyd.

My favorite albums would fill a room - they did, I had over 5000 albums before I had to sell them all.

So many different groups that I loved and no one else ever heard of.

Here are a few that are very special for very different reasons.

Don Ellis - Soaring (a rare non-electronic album by this amazing big band)

Jeff Sturges and Universe - Self titled - Rock for big band - with songs like Mountain's Mississippi Queen

Michael Nesmith - Infinite Rider On The Big Dogma - featured in Elephant Parts - the first made for video collection.

PDQ Bach - An Historic Return - featuring Professor Peter Shickle's Unbegun Symphony

Love ya,

Sally

As far as albums that I could listen to the whole way through without stopping, I'd have to include Joanna Newsom's "Ys" and Belle and Sebastian's "If You're Feeling Sinister" (really most of B&S's releases deserve to be listened to in one sitting), though I'm sure I could think of a lot more.

I also agree that it's important to experience an album the way the musicians had intended it - that's also part of why I'm so anti-piracy and pro-actual album buying. With mp3s you lose the CD/case design, artwork, linear notes, etc.

I totally miss the 33 1/3 albums....The covers could be read and you could look at the artwork and liner notes!

No such thing anymore

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>
    • Abigail Genevieve
      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
