Today isn’t a holiday, but it ought to be, because today is my dad’s birthday. He’d have been 88 today, and he’s been gone for over 14 years now. There isn’t a day that goes by without me thinking of him, and I’ve always thought it was a shame he never met my wife and my dog. He’d have really liked the dog. 😉
It’s also Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday. We won’t celebrate it until Monday, but it’s certainly worth thinking about him today. It’s no secret that I consider Barack Obama a bit of a pandering, empty suit. But the fact than a black guy is a serious contender for president of the United States shows how far we’ve come since April 4th, 1968. Not far enough, as the recent bickering has made clear, and certainly not fast enough. But a long way nonetheless.
Happy Tuesday.

Buffoon loser christolrado state representative kicks photographer while taking the oath of office
http://www.rawstory.com/news/mochila/Lawmaker_kicks_photog_during_prayer_01152008.html
Doulas Bruce would be funny if he hadn’t brought the Prop 9 idea from California to kill funding for about everything that might help people who need the most here in christolrado. Triple loser
-slum-lord in the springs
– late fifties man still living with mom (don’t know of any ‘wide-stance issues)
– delayed his swearing-in by a week so he wouldn’t be subject to term-limits (he was appointed to fill a vacancy). Wanted the entire legislature to be called into session to witness his swearing in. Even fellow thugs were appalled.
What a pasty white pantload fucktard :fu:

Artnorton can’t someone just KICK the Buffoon loser christolrado state representative [which] kicks photographer while taking the oath of office 🙄 … He should IMMEDIATELY be pulled from office or ALL actions regarding him should be put on hold. 🙄 :growl: :fist: A!I!V! :fist:
I love the comment on that story. It’s the photographer’s fault because he “…intruded in what should be a private moment, even if it was in public.”
:rofl2:
Good morning. :joe: :joe:
Busy day today starting with trying to get the car dropped off for inspection before I go to work. Ugh!

Druid, I read your post about Roxie. I was not sure about what you were inviting us to listen too.
Have a good day everyone.
It’s also Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday. We won’t celebrate it until Monday, but it’s certainly worth thinking about him today.
But if Lyndon Johnson hadn’t been president, Martin Luther King would have never become famous. So his birthday being a holiday is mostly due to Johnson being president. You need a president to make these things happen.
What did you guys just say about me? Don’t make me :knit2:
You know what’s weird? Kucinich fought his way back into tonight’s debate, and I don’t really give a shit. I mean, it’s good that NBC was forced to include him, but it feels like I was at the movies with a date and ran into an old girlfriend. It’s just weird.
:ear:
Well, Dennis can always move to Stephenville, TX.

Doug Bruce <===== (IDIOT MORON)^3
This fool has a large following though
1. He promotes the flat tax
2. He endorses ballot initiatives over legislative means to introduce legislation ( let the IDIOT MORON decide)
3. He is against gay marriage
4. He will run for presidork someday
5. Here in the land of the IDIOT MORON he will get the most votes
:yuck: :crap: :omg: :gate: :omg: :jason: :jason: :fist:
re: #3, #4
Druid- The dems here have a large majority in the house and are ahead by two in the senate and they’re wetting their pants about getting anything done in the legislature (typical spineless dems :tap: )
Our Dem governor has made some milquetoast purposals for education which the rethugs seem to agree with which they’ll probably end up opposing and all I read about our “Dem” senator Salazar is what he’s doing for the ranchers and farmers while he lives inside bush’s pants. :slap:
pj- nothing more like a republican than kicking someone while they’re already (literally) down :jason:

Buffoon loser christolrado state representative kicks photographer while taking the oath of office…
This is what makes me not regret leaving Colorado, although sometimes I do miss the cabin in Gold Hill.
Sorry, I got my emoticons mixed up 😮
andy As far as I know Gold Hill looks just like it did when you left (tho Stephen Stills has left the house) but that’s about the only thing that’s hasn’t been destroyed by money and developers in Boulder County. Downtown Boulder has been destroyed by four story high multi-million dollar condos :omg:
I Google Earthed it a while ago and I noticed that my cabin has an additional structure in the front but other than that it looks pretty much the same. The Geodesic dome is still standing too though I’ll wager the two nasty assed dogs that lived are probably gone.
The way tuition at Colorado Schools is going up those condos were probably built to become the new privatized studemt housing at CU :reaper: :reaper:
Money was always the problem with Boulder, inexcorably pushing out the working class. What was the name of that country bar just outside of town? Damn! What made me think of that?
Which house was Stephen Stills in? I didn’t know he was living there.
Peggy’s Hi Lo :yippee: I used to play with a saxaphone player who ended up with “Dusty Drapes and the Dusters”
I think Stills actually lived on Sugarloaf but hung out at the Gold Hill Inn from time to time
Money’s not a problem in Boulder anymore ’cause if you ain’t got it, you’re not living there 🙁
That’s it!! High quality, low prices! Is it still there?
McCave has admitted to seeing the lights over Phoenix which were similar to the ones in Texas. This was in the 90’s sometime and it was right over Camelback mountain. Maybe they actually took McCain and probed him and that’s why he’s so crazy. :tongue:
The Drum was another blue collar hang out, but I only went there a couple of times.
The Drum moved east over off 30th st and became a biker bar in the eighties- now closed. Peggy’s was long ago paved over for a office complex. Did you ever go to “Tom’s Tavern”? That was probably the last thing still remaining downdown from when I moved here in ’72. Sadly, Tom died last month and his son closed it- best cheeseburgersever.
Do you remember “Shannon’s” on Pearl across the street from the Camera building?
Damn, that sucks. I don’t remember Tom’s or Shannons but I was fairly fiscally impaired and couldn’t go out too much. I found this article you might enjoy, talks about the bar bands that almost made it including the Zephyr’s who I think I actually saw.
:pup: Siggy has a new friend. :pup:
:love:
andy-
Thanks for the great article. I missed that when it came out. Gil Asakawa covered music for the Post and Westword. Leland Rucker helped start the Boulder Daily Planet which sadly is no longer with us.
There’s so much there I can’t respond to it all (got to get some sleep) but we should bore everyone with some nostalgia on the blog sometime.(maybe I’ll bore everyone later today when I wake up) When did you leave Gold Hill?
Re #8 — I’m surprised that CNN even picked up the story, although they clearly put a poo-poo slant on it. :tinfoil:
KP — re #24 — we’ll have to check out last nights Coast to Coast to see if anyone called in about this sighting. Art Bell said that his switchboard went crazy the night of the Phoenix Lights sighting. :tinfoil: :omg:
I hope they are coming to help stop W from destroying the planet. :jesus:
Art, I went to commercial dive scholl in ’86 so I moved back here in ’87. But wait we bought a house in Coal Creek canyon in ’84 so I moved away from Gold Hill in ’83? I must be turning into a genuine geezer, remeniscing about the past like this.
Andy & Art —

RAGING Grammy re 34 … 8)
I am still hoping the “ones” in the UFOs are checking out “shrub” aka “tumbleweed” and will take him away before he can do more damage to “this system”. :pirate: :yippee: UFO Folk :omg: A!I!V! :fist: … BTW Great minds stick together :rofl2:
Is there anyone besides Ms Miller :growl: and Sir Eddie?
Is there a Marion v Seder show today?
Well Sam’s there but I don’t see Maron and I don’t think Sam is talking to him on the cell phone.
Not sure where Stills hangs his hat these days but I do know where Buffalo Springfield/Poco fans in xtorado can find Richie Furay.
Maron MIA today. Must be because it is at the regularly scheduled time.
Ahhhhhhfuck :doh: today is Tuesday :fu: :fu: :omg: A!I!V!
Well, Maron didn’t show up. :spank:
RE Richie Furay,
Are you trying to torture a “symbol” of my youth? Doesn’t matter whomever they Grew To :bee: or whatever THEY (B.S.) choose To :bee: lieve…… which BTW upon hearing Hill has a certain “awareness” AT 14yrs :pirate: :yippee: :fist: :dancers: has made me look in that direction if………………….A!I!V! :fist:

UPDATE: MAron fine. He was up all night wiht a cold- he emailed me but it got caught in my spam guard- cuz he’s all spammy.

I wonder if spammy is the same as spazzy :doh:

Boo PJ …………………..It’s about the Time. 😉
If anyone here cares- Mrs Art and I saw a reunion of Poco a few years ago- pretty lame. They really were missing the pedal-steel player “Rusty” somebody or other who played like Hendrix all those long years ago
Somebody at the Dem debate yelled out to Russert and Williams-
“Stop the fucking race-based questions you two!”
Russert spent the first twenty minutes trying to ignite the race bullshit that ‘s been going on for the last two weeks but it’s strictly Kumbiya with Hill and Barack :peace: :jerk:
I saw Richie last year. He was playing with his church band, I think, including his talented daughter. Not that great.
The pedal steel was always key in those bands and Rusty Young was the key in Poco.
listening to Mike Malloy I think: Entropy…. 😉 :fustrate: :tap: A!I!V! :growl: … I did a Rip van Winkle bit “For What It’s Worth” by BS……….. Now “…Look What’s Going Down” :growl:
