Live in the Age of Covid19

[challenged]

First day working (briefly) from my office since March 12th. AMA.

folks wearing masks at their desks?

kibosh on the communal coffee pot?

I think he is the only employee...

We have 5 people; only 1 other was in today which guided my decision to go in. No communcal coffee, and we didnt wear masks at desks, just when we talked to each other.

Power at home was off most of the day after the storms, so really had no choice.

I need to get a laptop external backup battery.

Benefit show featuring drummer Steve Gadd, who played on Steely Dan's album "Aja" as well as a host of iconic ditties from a line-up of stars.

I always first associate Gadd with Paul Simon... his drum beat on 50 ways to leave your lover...I think he was Simon’s drummer for decades

I don’t believe he is even the sole drummer on Aja


Phenomenal drummer no doubt

Dude...how was this not a potato in the news story
Here in Los Angeles? Many of those special spots still exist, such as world-famous The Baked Potato Jazz Club


You can help #savethepotato, on July 25, and share in the jazzy joy of this Cahuenga Boulevard treasure.

I was at this Glastonbury.  However, I did not see this set.  I believe I was in the dance tent seeing the Chemical Brothers.

Congress went home for the weekend!!

If they adjourn August 7 as scheduled that leaves only five days this coming week to pass any legislation...things to help Americans... help music venues etc

The fate of many music venues is apparently in the hands of Marco Rubio.... eech

Well, they’re not tiny hands at least.

looks like Metallica is trying the live-at-the-drive-in thing, except it won't even be live: they'll record a set, and it'll be screened across the continent on Aug 27.  $115 gets a car of up to 6 people in. ticketmaster getting a piece of the action.

no shows for you, marylanders.  hope you can find you way to Norton, VA (or whichever of those boonies is closest).

[hutch]

I would be up for trying one of these......in three months when I can’t take no more and completely lose it

But not Metallica

[ye-ole-hatch ıll|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

That’s lame
Only would be cool if they donated all the profits
Those guys are millionaires

[StoneTheCrow]

$115 per car to watch a filmed performance is beyond stupid. Even more so because it’s Metallica.

Has anyone ever gone to those live concerts at a movie theater...me neither
