random side note:
first time i saw the allmans in 92 was my freshman year at William and MAry and we drove back to richmond to see them.
i didnt have pot at the time and some dude on the lawn walked up to me and gave me a joint and walked away.
by the time we were headed home i was crawling the ceiling of the car and thought i was batman.
90% sure it was laced with pcp.

Yes! Psyched to see what they have in store!

there was a lot of urban legend about Dickey in Richmond when i lived there.
Rumors of him living there under an assumed name when he was in trouble around 93 i think.
IDK.. maybe it was real.. i swear we chilled with him getting high once or twice.

anyway, i recently had a renewed appreciation for Dickey after the watkins glen anniversary stuff, and talking about how jerry influenced playing and that they really were the most comparable to each other at the time.

What a story to tell though. Damn.

NOT defending Dicky, or anyone who has committed domestic violence.

Unfortunately, if we were to "boycott" all musicians who have done so the list of artists we listen to and "revere" would be a lot smaller. Many of our "heroes" were pretty unsavory characters.

I would like to think that attitudes have changed and there is a lot less of this going on, and people are being prosecuted in a timely manner. Hopefully that's true

Well it's not like ratted out his road manager to the cops.

I'm not here to deny any truths or forgive any sins. Betts was an alcoholic and lived long enough that he probably got around to regretting some things that he did. It certainly cost him a lot.

I'm just here to remember what's worth celebrating... a shit ton of great music.
