haahhaaha, i suggested the same earlier this week. by far one of the best live shows of all time.
This clip and one more are probably 2 of my favorites for guitar

Go to 1 minute in and Clapton's strap comes off his guitar and Robertson looks like hes been waiting for that moment to blast off his whole life lol

Then this whole video when srv's string breaks.. the guitar switch. Behind his back.

I'm curious, what is the real issue?
There are many issues to consider depending on what the outrageous headline is.

Im assuming the ultimate issue is a government that works for all people.
For media and politics issue its more division of citizens, more conflicting spin on stories to strengthen their viewers numbers and advertising dollars. Its always about money at some level we're living in a capitalism government and society.

The deflection is the playing of left and right or lableing left of center or right of center.
Leaving no room to be independent in your thoughts. Some people do like Republican policy but dont like Trump but get labled as right, maga etc. Some people do like Bernie or Biden or Tulsi etc and want some of the policies Trump wants (like better border control, but no f-ing wall). But they get labled as left by the right or derided by the rabid left for not supporting a specific candidate.
With covid19 i wanna hear real scientists describing what scenarios are upon us based on historical data and the preliminary current data with this pandemic. And paths for future action. Thats the pandemic issue.
Crying about reported numbers wastes time. And the petty games both sides are using to assign blame is pointless. A correct and precise tally of dead is not the issue thats important. Its callous but the recently deceased dont matter anymore, nor do they care. Yes its callous, but spilt milk.

Trump will never accept responsibility but will always take credit for "positive viewed" actions.
No one can really have a socratic discussion with someone with an opposing view without devolving to monkeys throwing shit.

I do not like Fuckface Von Clownstick, but all the bashing and trashing him with extreme clickbait headlines and edited interviews is 5th grade mentality that the masses eat up. Yes hes very very much lacking in many areas to be in charge of our country. And like 5th graders the more adults hate something the more they like it. It only strengthens his base and wont change their minds for sure but you cant even make the small step to meet in the middle to discuss your differing points of view when your pro democrat, blue wave ideology is just as extreme as Fox news.

That's reality, ain't it a bitch?
You just have to climb higher & place yourself above the fray & maintain your honor & dignity & moral compass & not allow others to divert you.
It's a lifelong challenge admittedly, but it's the only game in Town.
Good song, burn one or sip one & close your eyes :)

1.Yes, we are capi-centric as opposed to soci-centric..companies' lobby sees to that..but greed is good, right? you get yours and to hell with others?

2. for shame.

3. Sadly, the issue is Trumpy*...he's withholding tests..everything is about the dollar (capi-centric) and optics (re-election) he's withholding from the Federal Stockpile too- it's another profit center..right now he has $500B at his disposal for shits and giggles- he just fired the oversight Inspector General Friday night..he isn't allowing us the truth, information is metered out- our country is in big trouble and you will have to look on your own and then triangulate for truth.

4. Honestly, I have conversations with Trump* supporters, I'm interested in their point of view and why they believe what they do however it's difficult to see eye to eye if someone isn't open to dialogue in the first place which is often the case making me sorry I asked. There are two kinds of reporting though which Trumpy* isn't aware of..a regular story of facts and information; an opinion story which is just that- opinion. Trumpy' mistakenly calls opinion news 'fake news'

That video is by far the classiest guitar battle ever. When they really start jamming and staring at each other. "God dammit! That was so good though" then clapton ends it smiling at robbie and just laying it down lol. Both are amazing

The consensus is in!- we're all getting tired of him and his lies. His daily Master of Ceremonies gig needs to end.


One day after the right-leaning Wall Street Journal editorial board came out against Trump’s briefings, which they write “are now all about the President,” the Times reported that a number of GOP allies and advisers of the president would really prefer that he stepped back from the free-wheeling pressers. Republicans in the White House and Congress are “worried” about the briefings and “believe the briefings are hurting the president more than helping him,” describing the president’s daily diatribes “as a kind of original sin from which all of his missteps flow.” Trump “sometimes drowns out his own message,” Senator Lindsey Graham told the Times. (“Any suggestion that President Trump is struggling on tone or message is completely false. During these difficult times, Americans are receiving comfort, hope and resources from their president, as well as their local officials, and Americans are responding in unprecedented ways,” White House spokesman Judd Deere rebutted in a statement to the Times.)

Trump, however, hasn’t exactly been taking these suggestions to heart, as the criticism-averse president naturally prefers ratings and attention over what might actually be a strategically better approach. The Times reports that Trump has told aides he “relishes the free television time and boffo ratings that come with his appearances,” and sees the daily briefings as his chance to stick it to the ‘Fake News’ media and “put forth his version of events” that aren’t filtered by a critical press. But there’s real fear inside Trumpworld that the president’s damaging and error-filled briefings—and refusal to forge any appearance of political unity during a fraught time—will ultimately hurt the president at the ballot box and deliver a win to former Vice President Joe Biden. The president hasn’t enjoyed the same approval-rating bumps that have been afforded to many governors and health experts like Fauci, and Trump’s recent attacks on Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, advisers fear, may have cost him in a critical swing state. “He can’t escape his instincts, his desire to put people down, like Mitt Romney, or to talk about his ratings,” former Representative Carlos Curbelo, a Florida Republican, told the Times. “That’s why he’s not getting the George W. Bush post-9/11 treatment. A leader in this sort of crisis should have a 75-to-80-percent approval rating.”
