"Thank you for 50 years of friendship and music. Memories that live on with us. No more sorrows, no more troubles, no more pain. He went peacefully to that beautiful marvelous wonderful place. He was Buddy Rich’s favorite rock drummer…and my friend. Levon, I’m proud of you." - Garth Hudson
On the anniversary of his passing, we remember Levon Helm by looking back at one of the most soul-stirring moments in rock history. Watch him lay it all on the line with this fiery rendition of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" at The Band's historic farewell concert, The Last Waltz.
Holy shit this is heavy as fuck. Billy’s mom passed away last night and this home boy just owns it and just comes out and lets it go. Some incredible stuff. Wow.
RIP mama strings.. ❤️
“No government.. should dictate.. whom they can hire or admit”
So, your position is that you aren’t bound by anti discrimination laws set by the government?
How arrogant, even for Harvard. Who proofread this statement for common sense??
“No government—regardless of which party is in power—should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue.” - President Alan Garber https://t.co/6cQQpcJVTd

I would like to make a point about the Ukraine/Russia War.
I believe it is the most important point. Here it is:
Right now, as you are reading this, a Ukrainian or Russian teen was in all likelihood killed in action.
Why?
For what?
Ukraine cannot win this war. What Zelenskyy wants is for the US and/or NATO to literally start fighting the Russians, and that's not going to happen because nobody wants nuclear Armageddon and the end of humanity (except possibly Zelenskyy).
So what is the ONLY option? Answer: mark the boundaries where they are right now and stop fighting.
Trump knows this. Vance knows this. Anyone with a brain who understands war knows this.
THERE IS NO OTHER OPTION.
And anybody who disagrees with what I just said is either a bloodthirsty warmonger, a lobotomite midwit, or both.
Face reality people.
@RepSwalwell Did YOU write THIS?? Honestly, what are you a 15yr old punk trying to be cool? Regardless of what you are trying to articulate, you are grown man.. a Congressman, and an embarrassment. Grow a damn brain stem you fool.
@moeperiod@WellmontTheater Great place to see the guys melt some faces. Had a blast last time, if you’re going, you’re in for a good time!
Do your thing @vinnieamico
What’s crazy is the DNC knew Biden couldn’t run due to declining health but they didn’t want a primary (because the party hates democracy and hates voters) so they propped up Biden until they could swap him for Harris without any input from voters. The party orchestrated yet another loss to Trump and will now spend 4 years fundraising off their favorite boogeyman. If you think this party believes in democracy then you aren’t paying attention at all as the party has now interfered in their own primaries for three straight election cycles.
2016: Rigging primary against Bernie with superdelegates and media collusion. Bernie won several states that the superdelegates then overturned and gave to Hillary. Also, DNC sent party hacks to CNN and MSNBC to trash Bernie and praise Hillary and it worked like a charm.
2020: Secret backroom deal right before Super Tuesday when Bernie was in the lead and set to win. Obama made phone calls to Buttigieg and Klobuchar to get them to drop out and pave the way for Biden. This behind the scenes manipulation where elites pull the strings to ensure a corporate candidate wins is not democratic at all.
2024: DNC got tired of having to work so hard to rig primaries so they just canceled the primaries and then swapped out Biden with their new corporate puppet Harris.
2028: To be continued…But be prepared for more ratfuckery, manipulation, and election interference from the party that laughably calls itself “Democratic.”
Found it fascinating to see Rush play in a studio setting and how they orchestrate, especially Neil Peart and Alex Lifeson. Here’s Rush rerecording ‘Overture’ from their 2112 album.
