A friend's adult son lost his Houston apartment to water. He is housed and was able to take what fit in the car. He'd like to drive north, out, home, but that's not yet an option.

He's very aware of how lucky he is.

Extraordinary event. Impossible to comprehend its scale. Do what you can as directly as you can. Money is best.

As zerodent is Australian, did you hear of feedtime's drummer problem? He may not be allowed in due to minor drug offense which was NOT an issue some yrs back. Others have stamped passports and their (v soon) USA tour will happen. Thanks Pres* Trump.
  10:08pm
Dion Chalksee:

herb- I just found out topless (and bottomless) pix of Gerard Depardieu are not uncommon. Thanks Google Image.

Side Note: Has anybody else heard the Gerard Depardieu punk song from the early 80s? It's real and you can hear it on WFMU Archives!

Brother Funk, you are punk!
  10:28pm
herb.nyc:

To take this thread lower, I was showering and listening to this show. Towelled off and was naked for a good while after. Google image that! -- I saw feedtime at cake shop in 2012. Bought their boxset ($15, I think, a bargain). I thank you again, Pres* Trump.
  10:34pm
Dion Chalksee:

herb- I too saw feedtime in 2012 at Empty Bottle. While I have not likely "Funked Out" naked, my dog has, as he does every Wednesday night.
  10:35pm
JakeGould:

@herb.nyc: Was Jack Rabid there?
  10:37pm
Stevel:

I'm not currently funking-out naked, although I might indulge, when reasonable.
  10:39pm
Dion Chalksee:

I am ashamed to admit I conflated the upper case styling of fIREHOSE with fEEDTIME. herb is right, it is simply "feedtime"... you guys probably have me pegged as a poser now :(

Graham Parker surely has a decent house and has carved out a good life with his tunes. Money corrupts. Graham is a real G. I'll bet his basement and/or garage is super cool.

  11:01pm
herb.nyc:

Good one, jakegould. Jack Rabid is often in my thoughts when I shower, but in a platonic way. But once I start lathering up...anyway, will Evan have Roky E tix, like yest's 3pm dj? Ugh, what's his name? Dumb me.
