Went to a great concert yesterday

31st annual Dylanfest in Torrance, CA. Great music and good vibes. It goes noon to 8, always ends with Like a Rolling Stone. But last night one of the organizers/musicians said, I've got more beer and feel like doing a couple more songs. Yea!!
We've had 3 deaths in the family in two weeks, and OMFG I really needed that

To lift one’s spirits. I can relate.

And I’m so sorry to hear of your losses.

I saw him in in '70 when he was with Derek and the Dominos. Not worth the risk.

show! Bob had recently recovered from a serious illness, but the consensus was he sounded better than he had in years. Really pretty good, for him.

Talk about no fuckin' around! Bob played song after song with just a quick band intro. We got our moneys worth. Awesome band, and Ray Benson and his boys were a lot of fun too. The only time I got to see him, and I'm glad I did.
