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?

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
