After having watched “The Last Waltz” (…this link is for the actual concert, not the movie. The movie is also worth your time…and on Netflix…) and then “Ain’t In It for My Health,” also easily obtainable, Greg became mildly obsessed with Levon Helm, drummer and lead singer for “The Band.”
On this evening, Greg punched up “The Band” on Pandora and let the vibe roll.
Unfortunately, that vibe carried him straight on to a soap box, which Jen entertained…until she didn’t. Sometimes she deserves a congressional medal of patience.
This episode is the genesis for both the “Protect the Badge” (Part 1,Part 2, Part 3) and “Grill Skill” posts.
On this evening, Jen punched up “The Departed” (De-pahh-ted) and Greg was taken by the alignment of two disparate Martin Scorsese flicks. But mostly, he said, “microprocessors” a lot. (My-crow-prahw-cessuhs)
This episode’s beer of choice is Duclaw “Sweet Baby Jesus,” and sweet baby Jesus is it good.
This episodes highlighted music includes: “Tupelo Honey” by Van Morrison, “The Weight” covered by Joe Cocker, “Up on Cripple Creek” and “When I Paint My Masterpiece” both by The Band and both spotlighting Levon Helm, and “Mean Old World” by Duane Allman and Eric Clapton. Have fun, kids. Good, clean, responsible…oh fuck all that, have fun!
