OT: Thread About Nothing (TaN #...lost count)

That song was written about the 1927 levee breach near New Orleams. It’s credited to Memphis Minnie. Maybe 1929? It’s on YouTube if anyone wants to give it a listen. Electrify the guitars add some pounding drums and you have rock and roll.

It’s amazing how far back the origins of modern rock stretch. It’s in the later 1940s you can really start to hear it when the guitars as we know them become a thing along with somewhat more sophisticated recording techniques

Passaic, NJ f*** yes

incredible footage

Easily my favorite iteration of thr band. It included Adrian Belew. I’m not exactly sure how to categorize it - punk, new wave, no wave, pop punk, but the two things that have to be included in any serious retrospective of modern rock are the Once in a Lifetime video and any video of a night where Belew got rolling live on Crosseyed and Painless. I think the Rome 1980 video is the most impressive I’ve seen.

This is really good. A bit long but the earlier version of the Levee breaks and it's evolution is pretty interesting.

Thanks for sharing that. Great watch for anyone interested in Levee Breaks as a track. I will suggest that although the drums get the credit I think the blues harmonica that drives it is part and parcel of the haunting drive the song has. It’s one or two on my Zeppelin track list with Kashmir depending upon my mood. Really great stuff. Page Plant and Jones not giving it another go for a bit is a tragedy.

Who said Belew?

My wife and I closed on a new house on Friday. Very excited to move, but now selling my current house and moving all of our stuff is going to be crazy. We’re staying in the same area, so it’s not too bad, but moving is always rough.

Larger house. We’re planning to have another kid sometime soon and will need the extra space and additional bedroom.

The house we're leaving was the starter house, this one will be the forever house, or at least that’s the idea.

You would like to live here(no you don’t).
But forests are full of animals. And lakes are full of fish(norther from here).

I really want to get to Kamchatka. I had an opportunity to go around 2010 and it didn't come together on my part. But I really do hope to get there someday.

I got there once. Of course it was while playing Risk.

Yeah, it’s a great place for people who loves nature, Karelia is a great region for camping, hunting and fishing too. There are a lot more(country is big). A lot of untouched lands, we have our own lands of tribes who live their own way and live by herd deers. Hope when big guys will decide that cold war 2.0 isn’t fun game to play, you will find and opportunity to visit.

I would love to visit St. Petersburg and the northern portion of Karelia...as well as Finland.

But with the political climate, it seems like bad timing?

I don't worry much about other fishermen, we all seem to have an understanding that seems to transcend geo-political issues...but I do fear an overall anti-American sentiment in the cities and just in general.

Politics have never stopped me from traveling to Mexico, Cuba, Honduras or Guatemala to fish but I never have traveled to a place that was in an active war.

Imagine that if you are friendly and respectful of the locals it will be reciprocated. That’s been true everywhere I’ve gone

That is exactly how it's always work for me in the past. But the current events seem a bit more of an extreme case.

Am… russians are very friendly. Of course you theoretically can meet bad person, but it’s not like you can’t do it in philly or LA or San Francisco. And the amount of this bad person is lower, they are not building cities and don’t capture a blocks. Some people are very anti russians in everything that happening, some are just regular and some are pro, but if you will not saying something against, they will be friendly or just busy to interact. I would say most of people are friendly with people who are friendly with them.
It’s a question of how make documents now. I dont think it’s easy now. And you should understand that sometimes airports can be close because of potential act of terror. It’s really not a time to travel if I like to live here, I admit that people who are investing time, money, they may find themselves in an unpleasant or potentially dangerous situation. I understand that war make a lot of money and it’s not like sides wanna stop this in the near future. But I hope prolongation of the situation on all sides will aggravate the economic problems of all parties, which will negatively affect support, and the lack of support should automatically create a vacuum for people who want to receive this support. That will push the countries to search for compromises and negotiations. Which still happens in the end.
But you should not worry about “anti American sentiment” especially in St Petersburg and Moscow.

And you should visit Finland, it’s a great country with beautiful people, great nature and beautiful weather if you like cold. Americans and Russians are more agressive or passive or crazy or quite but crazy. Finns we’re all good to interact. Kind and pleasant. I’m not fisherman but from what I understand, finns like to fish and they have better infrastructure for it. I could be wrong easily.

My favorite is no infrastructure at all

You are welcome! There are tonns of no infrastructure at all! Just let's wait a little bit(less than 40 years this time, I hope).
