Not trying to compare M & Sons to Bob, but this is a fun video. It’s a little bit of The Beatles and a little bit of The Killers. Tough to ignore the talent. These guys are good.
I don’t love Obama. I don’t know the man.
But this comment on this performance (and BD), is somehow indicative of why we voted for the man. No president is like you and me, but this seems to indicate that he gets it. The other guys (even Clinton) never intuitively understood the appeal of the elusive moment…
The Quote: Obama on Dylan
Here’s what I love about Dylan: He was exactly as you’d expect he would be. He wouldn’t come to the rehearsal; usually, all these guys are practicing before the set in the evening. He didn’t want to take a picture with me; usually all the talent is dying to take a picture with me and Michelle before the show, but he didn’t show up to that. He came in and played “The Times They Are A-Changin’.” A beautiful rendition. The guy is so steeped in this stuff that he can just come up with some new arrangement, and the song sounds completely different. Finishes the song, steps off the stage — I’m sitting right in the front row — comes up, shakes my hand, sort of tips his head, gives me just a little grin, and then leaves. And that was it — then he left. That was our only interaction with him. And I thought: That’s how you want Bob Dylan, right? You don’t want him to be all cheesin’ and grinnin’ with you. You want him to be a little skeptical about the whole enterprise.
I think that the French would refer to this as a “salon” style.
The first time I noticed frames on the floor was in a RL ad in the 80’s.
Still works.
This is a barn. I never cease to be amazed by the beauty of this simple form.
Tree House
This is a powder coated, and slightly modified, early 60’s BMW. I am (typically) not a super-huge fan of this sort of thing, but man, this looks good.

Max Schaaf. Skater. Bike Builder. The real deal.
A few people have pointed out that I have yet to talk about wine, and that is strange.
So, as there will be any number of wines that I may chat about this year, why not start with a delicious bottle at a shockingly low price.
Gemtree Vineyards, Tadpole, Shiraz
14.5% alcohol, dense, and balanced. I could drink this every day.
$7.99 at K&L. Find the bottle, drink it and then send a nice note to the folks over at Gemtree and the Buttery family (I did): info@gemtreevineyards.com.au
Oh, and did I mention that 2 bucks per case goes to Greening Australia? And that is nice.
