R.I.P Phil Lesh

 

"Box of Rain"

Below the story of the song...

Perhaps the song pertains not to the father but perhaps Phil himself. Today the legendary bassist and co-founder of the Grateful Dead has passed away.

The news below from the New York Post...

Deadheads, friends, family and other musicians mourn his loss, but he did live long and enjoyed a long, strange trip of a life.

"Truckin'"

Below Phil Lesh "Get By"

Thankful for the songs that are left behind may he rest in peace!

355 is more than enough!

I put this out as my Facebook status this morning:

355 mass shootings this year enough is enough. If you have a mental illness seek help. If you hate people because they have a different skin color, a different political view, a different religion, whatever the difference put your hatred down. Talk to them, you might make a friend we can coexist. Whatever it is that makes you want to shoot people, we can work it out. Before you pull the trigger think! Help is available. Even in this world there is love and peace.

What made me decide to write that status? Well if you heard the news yesterday you are aware of the mass shooting in San Bernardino, California. It ended up with 14 people killed and 17 injured. Here is a link from CNN.

On the East Coast in Georgia there was another shooting killing one and injuring three. You can read about that here.

Enough is enough! If you have a mental illness there is help available please seek it! If you hate people because they are different and you want to shoot them, throw your hatred down. You can overcome our hate! People can coexist. Whatever makes you feel like shooting people we can work it out.

Peace, love, understanding still have a lot of power.

Remembering Ronald Reagan

Ten years ago Ronald Reagan passed away. Can you blog about about a politician without discussing politicians?

I think Nancy Reagan's visits to her husband speaks volumes about the way she felt about Ronald Reagan.
The assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan is a moment that will stick in my mind.

He was an actor..

He was a Governor...

He was a President..

He was President for two terms. He lived a long life and was loved by family.
