Shirt of the Moment: Berlin, Germany Rocks

Henrik in Berlin, Germany @Bonnie "Prince" Billy concert

As we continue our Journey Through The Past, Present and Future, it makes us greatly appreciate how much time fades away so quickly.

Our Thrasher's Wheat 30th Anniversary Shirt of the Moment is from Henrik in Berlin, Germany at a Bonnie "Prince" Billy concert.

Henrik is a very special friend of Thrasher's Wheat in Berlin, Germany.  As you may recall from our epic journey back in 2013 -- the last Crazy Horse tour with Poncho -- Henrik generously hosted the TW Crew in Berlin for the Neil Young & Crazy Horse Europe 2023 Tour Kickoff at Waldbühne on June 2, 2013.

INTERVIEW: Tim Pope, Video Director on Neil Young, More

Tim Pope: ‘I Shoot Rock Stars’(Click photo to enlarge)

Tim Pope caught the video wave in 1981 and made hundreds of promotional clips, often three or four a week, edited at night and on-air days later, including videos for Neil Young.

For 15 years he was the man to call – inventive, caffeinated, risk-loving, clubbable – and “nothing was too mad or stupid”. He celebrates that magic age of big budgets and creative freedom in his story-filled memoir ‘I Shoot Rock Stars’, just out, and looks back @:

 

… Neil Young’s 2,000-acre Broken Arrow Ranch and the “burning fires of his eyes”

Shirt of the Moment: "Brother Alan in Seattle"

"Brother Alan in Seattle"

As we continue our Journey Through The Past, Present and Future, it makes us greatly appreciate how much time fades away so quickly.

Our Thrasher's Wheat 30th Anniversary Shirt of the Moment is from "Brother Alan in Seattle".

As so many of you know,  our "Brother Alan in Seattle" really needs no introduction. To say that our "Brother Alan in Seattle" is a prolific commenter here at TW would be a vast understatement.  A true music lover, consumer and concert goer to the utmost degree. We'll always treasure our pilgrimage out to Seattle to hang out with our "Brother Alan".

w/ "Brother Alan in Seattle" - 2023

We should note also that Alan has contributed quite a bit of original, exclusive content to TW for which we're quite grateful. For example:

• Brother Alan in Seattle Goes to Neil Young w/ Crazy Horse in San Diego - April 25, 2024 
• CONCERT REPORT: The Third Mind @ Tractor Tavern, Seattle, WA - 3/14/26
• A Tribute to Mark Lanegan: 1964 - 2022
• CONCERT REPORT: Particle Kid @ Sunset Tavern, Seattle, WA - Feb 6, 2026

If you love music, and you're out in Seattle look him up.  He'll be glad to show you the Seattle sounds.

It's just a hippie dream, so let your freak flag fly & don't be denied! 

peace & love,

thrasher & thrashette
