Can Netanyahu See Beyond The Boundaries?
"Therefore, to see beyond boundaries to the subtle heart of things, dispense with names, with concepts, with expectations and ambitions and differences."
Also while Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins aren’t in my top 20, I’m not in anybody’s list of great drummers, and definitely a solid drummer – no question. RIP
Indeed, he was solid and I’ve really liked his and Grohl’s music.
This phenomenon of rockers in their 50s and 60s overdosing is unexpected. Tom Petty ODed at 66, he had broken his hip while on tour and didn’t want to disrupt the tour so loaded up on drugs to kill the pain…and unfortunately, himself.
I get it when young rockers were ODing, they felt invulnerable, on top of the world and wanted to live to the extreme…or just developed terrible heroin addictions.
Hawkins had ODed before though and possibly couldn’t shake his addiction. So many aspiring musicians dream of having the kind of success Hawkins had but here too, from the outside, you don’t always see what the life’s really like.
And once again, the question, would you rather have your dreams come true but die prematurely or not have them come true and live a full life?
I have 10,000 songs about rain in my head. I grew up in Washington [the state], and hate living in Arizona. Perhaps it’s my Scottish ginger complexion and natural disposition… Unironically, I am happy when it rains.
Nice pick! Really enjoy this song!
It just rained all day yesterday and I was happy. Sunny day today, like someone turning on the light while you’re sleeping. Though something nice about a blue sky while the remnants of puddles are still around in the morning.
Ah…Spring!

Would that make this style of music, Golliard?
