Thrasher! What an honor to be featured as the T-shirt of the moment! I feel gratitude for your kind words! Thank you so much! It has been such a great ride so far. With Trunks of memories still to come. Long May you ALL run!
ReplyDeleteAny but of my writing that is appreciated, I am glad for. I hope to nourish the community of Thrasher’s Wheat with my commentary. It’s a challenge to be positive in light of things we are seeing with our eyes in the world & in the US. Troubled times, the diaper Don dick-tater.
Which makes me all the more happy that Dan has returned to Thrasher’s Wheat. My buddy, a truly generous and good man. His words are the salve of the wound we have. Bring it on Dan!
Hooray!!!
Free Speech is obviously a right I do not intend to give up! TW, the last bastion of true free speech not in the clutches of a corporation?!
I had a blast when you visited. My hand is now out of the post op brace, the bionic hand has shockingly no metal parts! Just a handy little neoprene cap in the worn out middle finger mcp joint.
I was able to drive without using my middle finger but that is something I have tried to practice for decades.
Peace be upon you. Thrasher, Thrashette, our providers of the greatest place on the internet for 30+ years! It’s a lot more than just all the Neil news that’s fit to print!
I can’t wait to meet up again & on the rail, at a live show. Every time I tap out ON the rail, spellcheck changes it to IN the rail.
Thanks for putting up with me. I hope to amuse & share with you all in the the magic that is rock & roll. Specifically our hero, Shakey, Don Grungio, the peaceful warrior who can blow things up with his guitar, or caress your soul with songs & delivery that take us away, soothe our worries, express our defiant stand against polluters & planet wreckers, the Masters of War, the greedy criminals who are looting the US in an orgy of grift that implies the Democrats’ grift has been chump change so far.
We will get through this. Good will defeat evil. We in the US believe in NO KINGS! Human rights! Protect the vulnerable! House the homeless, imprison the rapists & war crimes criminals! Release the Epstein files! Feed the hungry! Are we a “Christian nation?” Surely we could give a care for the suffering of the masses.
The republicans erased sex ed & soon the board of education, they can’t get enough dumb white folks to vote for them. The birth rate is falling rapidly because nobody can afford it!
Health care for all! Green energy! Be the Rain!
As data centers suck up the water & the people realize they have been screwed, values of property drop like a rock when the water stops coming out of the tap.
But I have been rocking out today to a bunch of great music & I intend to add to that considerably.
It makes me smile to be a part of this loving community of hard core Neil young fans & others who may not yet be huge Neil Young fans.
Keep On Rocking in the Free World!
I am going to go listen to the song Hunan Race & the rest of the album!
I have not had enough time recently to listen to the new song enough! Been busy! But U will today. Today is a day of rest.
I hope you all have a very good day!
Your rustic grain Brother Alan in Seattle
Typos & spellcheck… on a phone.

ReplyDeleteWSJ1, we think this comment was dropped on wrong thread.
DeleteCan you repost please?
Really do appreciate your passion here Alan.
ReplyDeleteWe'll meet up again someday. Hopefully on the rail at a Neil show with Old Black melting our faces.
I look forward to our next rendezvous. On the rail at the live show preferred.
DeleteI am so grateful to be involved in this TW / Neil Young fan community. And we have the coolest damn rusted out Earthy tie dyes the world has ever seen.
If I can bring any light or make anyone smile, or believe we can survive this…. It’s all worthwhile.
Stand & fight! Protest & survive! No Kings! There is healing in community as we stand together! Our hearts will fill again with love. Bring it on! “Let them love.”
your rustie grain brother Alan in Seattle
