Republicans nearly immediately resorted to Islamophobic attacks after Abdul El-Sayed's win in Michigan, sparking defiance from El-Sayed. “They want to use my whole name against me,” El-Sayed said. “Mike, listen, man. If you can’t say the name, it’s Abdulrahman, keep the name out your damn mouth.”

El-Sayed Hits Back at GOP’s Islamophobic Attacks: “That’s the Best You Got?”

Forty-nine years ago, released on this day in 1977. Terrapin Station was the 9th album released by the Grateful Dead, and their first on Arista records. The title suite, always the subject of controversy due to the addition of orchestral and choir to the final release. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Well I guess we couldn’t finish today without 39 years ago at Anaheim Stadium, Dylan & The Dead. I was there for this one and remember the 2 sets of Dead as being top notch.

Taking some time today to remember Brent Mydland on the day he passed in 1990. Amazing keyboardist and singer that breathed new life and sound into the Grateful Dead in 1979. Filled with immense talent, and just asserting his songs and then he was gone. Blessings Brent!! youtu.be/EZjDxo-AISo?...

Fifty-four years ago at the Paramount in Portland. What kind of a show do you expect when it starts with Bob telling Bear to turn him up, and Garcia says you’re already too loud. 😉 Cold Rain And Snow opener, but that 30 minute Dark Star into Comes A Time, MMMMMMM… archive.org/details/gd72...

Still watching The Other Ones from Shoreline on 7/24/98, and Steve Kimock just played an other worldly solo in Bird Song. Dave Ellis does some very sweet soloing on the soprano sax, then Steve comes back in using the mutron. Watch this video!! youtu.be/yQ2EMuB7YYU?...

Thirty-six years ago Brent Mydland played his last show with the Grateful Dead in Tinley Park, IL. A sad coincidence that it was on the anniversary of his predecessor, Keith’s, death. No one imagined that 3 days later Brent would be gone. Always “the new guy”. archive.org/details/gd19...

Taking a few minutes today to remember Keith Godchaux, keyboardist for the Grateful Dead from 1971 to 1979. Husband of Donna Jean Godchaux who sang with the band as well. Keith was tragically killed in a car accident on this date in 1980. Blessings to you Keith! 💀🪬🌹🎶🙏🏻🎶🌹🪬💀 youtu.be/KVM9uu4mIcw?...
