I'm going with the Grateful Dead on this one... on top of everything else, they pretty much invented modern touring and the accoutrements that go with it. Also, Bob thinks they're the greatest. And the Beatles were broken up by the time I was born. The Dead were still at it.

And the painting got me thinking about this shirt. Remember this shirt, 80s heads? I need one. Etsy?

This one reminded me of this t-shirt people used to have. "Is it Live or is it Dead?" The eternal question.

It was a game time decision, but I’m so glad I went to see Talib Kweli at The Loving Touch in Ferndale tonight. It was a bit of a drive, and I went solo, but he is a legendary emcee! And he can work a crowd. Great show!

Looking forward to seeing what people select for the #ArtistFaveLP #MusicChallenge coming up!

I decided to do Tonight's the Night before I even knew the 50th anniversary was around the corner. One of my favorite albums since I was 16!

This is my favorite Lindsey Buckingham look. I use a photo from this era on my LinkedIn profile. It's that good.

If they really wanted to move some records, though, they might have opted for something more like this. I'm only speculating, though!
