30 Years Ago: Bruce Hornsby Plays His First Grateful Dead Show

Seems like yesterday. I think Hornsby brought musical elements back to the Dead that hadn’t really been around since Keith died…and then drove them higher. He was no Pig Pen, but the first time he sat in with the band, he seemed like he belonged there, riding along on the bus to never-everland.#GratefulDeadhttps://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fultimateclassicrock.com%2Fbruce-hornsby-grateful-dead-first-concert%2F&h=AT25t1VZt1LKejW3kLP2GQPPEEBQSIB9CSIq4R-tR5MbiM3bG7RYAn6pA1icXxZA9TZXhAgT2Mz7F6_Hgp3w2VO-Y6HOi5aJaUPUUsDWVVPFdadq8H86zjvm-vR0HQ&s=1

How Big Oil Misled The Public Into Believing Plastic Would Be Recycled

And I bet you thought that, after you rinsed and separated and carefully ‘recycled’ all those plastic containers, that the plastic would actually be re-used…and not end up in a landfill? Garbage is a dirty game folks…and plastic recycling is the lipstick on that pig. ~jg

Why Dee Snider Had ‘Trepidation’ in Twisted Sister’s Early Days

Twisted Sister was one of the first 18+ shows I ever saw. It was 1978 or 79 I guess, so I was 16 or 17 at the time, back when IDs were paper and had no photos. Twisted Sister had played Glen Island Casino in New Rochelle, NY before, and been banned from playing there. But…for some reason, the club rescinded the ban and let them play the show. Zebra opened for them I think…though that might’ve been a different show I got really wasted at. Who knows?
Anyway, long story short…I got really wasted and Twisted Sister rocked the bar…and got banned again, (this time I think forever) and then went on to become a household name instead of a NY Area metal band that got kicked out of almost everyplace they played.
Fuck the critics and censors. Live your own music.https://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fultimateclassicrock.com%2Fdee-snider-interview-2020%2F&h=AT2KRdvf5g_zZUXpwIvdt2DWlE0N_M6d88jxKhIgQtrbidbcSkWn_eDoycK00iY9JmUfVtD0BADuS2NBBJoMxPYPXD-UXSd9uGXRqZ3L0n6_leT175R780AOOy4qLw&s=1

Trump claims environmental progress, but he’s weakened rules

ABC News: Trump claims environmental progress, but he’s weakened rules.

Keep in mind that, to Trump, “The Environment” is something that should be exploited, in order to maximize profits for himself or his friends who run the oil, gas, coal and mining corporations. When he leaves office, they will owe him bigly, and he WILL try to collect.
So in HIS mind, he HAS made progress. ~jg
