An employee (late 20's - I didn't hire them) recently copied me on an email to a commercial client. I read the opening run-on sentence and immediately tried to recall the message, but no dice. Imagine a blog post with phonetical spelling and with more emoji's than punctuation. Should 'damage-control' be hyphenated or not?

According to Spotify: Spotify pays artists between $0.003 - $0.005 per stream on average. That works out as an approx revenue split of 70/30 - so that's 70% to the artist/rights holders and 30% to Spotify. I guess not much of a financial incentive for DSO to be on Spotify. I do miss the more frequent Nugs uploads (there are 8 shows from summer 2023) but something is better than nothing. I frankly would be more interested in more LiveStream availability and would be willing to pay for the privilege. I realize something like this has some behind the scene efforts, logistics, and front-end costs. I also realize another solution would be: "Dood - go see some live DSO shows for God's sake!" Point Taken. My lack of live attendance in the last few years is certainly not derived from a lack of desire.

8/16/91 - Replete with a 1st set Dark Star. Food for thought

Jubilee Daily Lineups are out:

Oh yeah - love when the enunciation shines through. Here's a few the pop up for me: "Everybody's playin, in the heart of gold banDDDA! "I thought I heard a Young Man, morn this morning!" "They melt into a dreeeeem" "You woke up this mornin and find your mother gone - I say Death Don't!" "Beeeeee with YOUUUUUUUU!" "Mama-Mama many worlds i've come, since I first left home"

I’ll have what VjiupsLer is having

I met a girl online, and arranged a blind date with her at the gym. She never showed up, and that’s when I knew… … we weren’t going to work out.

This is for you Chuck Whelp! Here it is... In anticipation of Cornmeal's upcoming 25th Anniversary, the band will reunite on stage with our former and long time band member, the venerable Allie Kral, for the first time in over 12 years, exclusively at Shoe Fest 2024! This had been a long time in the making and we think the time is right and the band couldn't be more honored to have her back for this very special show.

Email from the event organizer: "Hello everyone, We are reaching to inform you on an update for this show Sundays event. We normally do not allow ins and outs for our events. However, since this is an all-day show as well as the fact that there will be over 30 vendors on main street right around the corner that were going to be vending at the event that was cancelled, ins and outs will be allowed until 6 pm. Once it is 6 pm there will be no more ins and outs. Also, just a reminder some of the rules we have at all our events. 1- While you are allowed to bring 1 small and sealed bottle of water. Any big water bottles sealed or not will not be allowed. We also do not allow any metal water bottle, flask, etc. of any kind into the venue even if it is empty. 2- Outside food will not be allowed in the building at all. 3 - Marijuana (and other drugs) are prohibited inside the building. We look forward to having you all here this Sunday.

I hope Dickey and Jerry already have a cosmic jam session planned. Godspeed Ramblin Man

....for Anti-Trust violations. Wow ! Sounds great, right? What a headline! Down with Cartels! I'm no sage but here's how this is likely to go: The case will be heard in 2026, any unfavorable findings will be appealed. In 2028, instead of Live Nation being broken apart, they will agree to establish a 10M fund as reparations to the ticket-buying public. After the attorneys get their cut, you can choose to receive a check for $7.26 or receive it as a $10 credit for your next Live Nation ticket purchase. Boy - I sure would love to be wrong on this one.

Scheffler is indeed on a heater - Tiger Woods kinda batting average lately. Masters was a bit anti-climactic given that his closest pursuers decided to add some crooked numbers to their cards which made the last 5-6 holes feel more like a coronation, than a competition. As long as Scottie is putting well, it's lights out for the rest of the field.
