'The day the music died', a plane crash in 1959, car crash in 1961, plane crash in 1963, 22 and 30 years old, two gifted artists whose sound lives on.

Today, we sadly say goodbye to Garth "Honey Boy" Hudson, the last living original member of The Band. A musical genius and cornerstone of the group’s timeless sound, Garth once said, “I found some true enjoyment in helping people get to the bottom of their feelings.” Through his music, he did just that—helping us all feel more deeply and connect to something greater. Rest easy, Garth. 🕊

Garth Hudson passed away today, a wonderful person who blessed the world with his magnificent music.

@donalddhoffman “What they say fancifully is 'we’ve come to understand something about the puppet and the strings, but we have nothing to say about the puppeteer'. It's just a total mystery. And that's where we live.” (03:12)

Back then, nothing was mysterious except the intellectual realm, while today everything is mysterious except the intellectual realm.

Even the most dedicated propaganda writers had to acknowledge some mysteries.

@history_rev Looks like a photo from a quality older book, if you happen to have a book title, I'd like to know it.

Caves are like parties, it is important to know when it is time to leave.

Mary Hanım seneler önce, benim onu Runik yazıtın kökeni konusundaki kitabım "Türk Hazinesi" ile ilgili bilgilendirmemin ardından kitabı "Plato Prehistorian" ı taa Amerika'dan bana hediye olarak yollamıştı. Ama o kitap elime ulaşmadı veya ulaştırılmadı, geri dönmüş.
Şimdi seneler sonra başka bir yolla bu kitaba ulaştım.
Mary Hanım'ın ruhu ışıklar içinde olsun. Sevgi ve teşekkürlerimle..
