I dig this board!
I started lurking here during the Bush years, prolly '03? Didn't start posting till prolly '05. Lost my info and re-signed up in 11 I think. Anyhoo, I've laughed, I've cried. I've met people who've become friends, and fellow music lovers and musicians who have become deeper friends. (In both cases, y'all know who you is!) I've met animal lovers with kindred spirits that I adore. I've argued and agreed. I've fought, and thought, and changed my mind.
But at the center of it all, there's a community. A beautiful, diverse community of people of all races. All creeds. All types of sexuality. All ages and all levels of education. WE are America my brothers and sisters. WE are the ideal that this nation was founded on. We may not always get along. We may fight each other tooth and nail (especially during the primaries jesusfuckingchrist and I'm just as guilty). But we're all fellow travelers united by our love of what this country really stands for. It's not taking care of those who don't need help. Not exclusion based on color, religion, sexuality, etc. It's a sense of justice. For all. It's a sense of I am my brothers keeper. It is a sense of protecting the weakest among us. It is a sense of Yes We Can build a better society. I'm proud to be member of such a community. Maybe I'm a little too deep in my cups and being sappy, but I dig this board.

Nothing like a 2x4 or a 1xanything. Maybe for a baby stroller but not some of the wheelbarrows of manure that are carted around here everyday.

I appreciate the folks who know more than I do about lots of things. I appreciate the humor and the heated debates and minds willing to remain open to my thought processes. It isn't perfect and that's okay. There's a wealth of experience here. I didn't find this board until October 2016. It has saved my sanity - or at least whatever is left of it.

I've been in bands with alcoholics and I'm not that guy. I realize I could become that guy. Truth is, I'm a pothead and having to give it up has been difficult. Not proud of it, but it is what it is.

50. You got time
I was still drinking at your age...and it was part and parcel of my day...but it doesn't go on forever. I watched my parents have a "party" every nite, but they got into their 80s and then that was it. She is still alive at 87. He 90.
I am on an Allman Bros jag reading everything I can get my hands on....I saw them in 1970 if SF, and could take them or leave them as a band. But the history fascinates me. Duane dead at 24 riding drunk, and ditto Oakley. Gregg with the liver deal...My brother and best pal are primo musicians, and they didn't do what Duane and Gregg did... they are pretty straight now, and thin, and play all the time. I can send you a video of Frank.. I am always curious about people...I am not gonna say I love you, but have one for me tonite !! |

74. This site is always way ahead of the TV news.
I read posts and information on this site sometimes a year ahead of when it becomes news on the TV! Really!

... very true, could not agree more. I enjoy your post. Thank you for the trips down a musical memory lane 🙂
This site/forum does offer a slice of sanity in what is otherwise a very chaotic time. |

83. Yeah, it's great to find a place on the internet not overrun with trolls, memes, 12 year-olds, and
alt-right 4chan frat douches. DU is like a sanctuary from the rest of the garbage on the internet. That’s the problem with Reddit - posts can be upvoted, so people paste the same shitty memes over and over to get upvote points.
DU tends to have older participants, so there’s more maturity here in general than the rest of the internet. People do fight with each other, but it’s 99% better than the rest of the internet. |
