My mom never really liked most rock and roll but I remember she would come into my room every now and then and ask me to play the "Fanny" song for her because that is how she remembered it. She said that song just spoke to her. This is sad news.

I had the honor and privlege to attend The Last Waltz at Winterland in San Francisco. It was Thanksgiving Day 1976, I was in the Navy and had recently been transferred from Vallejo, just north of San Francisco back to my home town of San Diego. I still had a place in Napa, so I was up for the long weekend making my final moving arrangements.

The crowd was pretty small, having been to the Winterland for many other concerts over the years, but they did serve this almost Victorian-like Thanksgiving feast while an orchestra played and ballroom dancing was encouraged. Of course, it was also as decadent as any 1970's stoner gathering with food involved...

The music started around 9 and went to almost 3AM. I remember Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Clapton, Muddy Waters the most. Neil Young was there, but I hadn't started listening to him that much yet. It was hot! The Winterland was very old as far as concert venues go, and it was very hot in that building that night.

I still listen to the music from the era and I still remember all the concerts we used to go to back then. Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon was always an experience. Back then you could attend free concerts in the park and watch the Jefferson Airplane, Creedence, Doobie Brothers and others. Part of the post-Woodstock mentality of open air concerts in the park that would carry on in San Francisco until a few years later.

I've only sat down and watched The Last Waltz maybe twice. It's just one of those things you hold onto as a memory. And tonite in Greensboro, I'll see yet another band I saw play clubs and bars in Southern California not but a couple years after The Last Waltz- Van Halen. How's that for almost polar opposite?

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.

      Some...concerning UNC / Belichick news

      By Basbear · Posted

      My unbelievable pile is touching the moon now-a-days. Bill is ultra control freak if there was ever one in the NFL, he's the guy. He stayed off SM and hate hate hated the media..........(wow bill what did you do in 2024??!?!?!).  So this guy, 100% control freak, just gave away all his SM to a 24 year old?? He doesn't understand SM at all... This is the same level as 8 time SB winner coming to coach UNC, after all this NIL BS that drove out his other control freak coaching friends.  This time line is insane.
