Tulane just didn’t learn from the last time they did this.
FWIW , that happened 40 yrs ago with John Hot Rod Williams, and none of the current players being investigated were even born. Heck, Perry Clark is 75 yrs old now
re: Best Pink Floyd Cover Band Concert

Eh. Why would I go see a Pink Floyd cover band when I was lucky enough to see the real thing?
Why do you keep listening to DSOTM when you've probably played the album over 100x's ????
regarding concerts ... because some people still enjoy their favorite band's music and appreciate talented musicians who are carrying on Pink Floyd's legacy in a live format.
Would you go see The Allman Betts Band (Devon Allman and Duane Betts) if they were in town ?
I've seen Britt Floyd several times as they are the real deal ..... recently traveled 3 hours to Shreveport to see them at the Louisiana Hayride / Auditorium

Little Woods, what's that area like now? Used to be all working class families but that was a long time ago.
in the Summer of 1985, I dated a girl from Meraux whose family had a camp on LP in Little Woods. Always remember getting off at Hwy 47 / Paris Rd. and driving to the levee. We fished, boiled crabs, water ski'd, and had a great time never feeling threatened.
I imagine shortly thereafter it went South
I loved this pic shared by Bruce .... notice the little fella in his BB shirt.
Amazing how his journey ended up in BR playing and coaching for the Tigers.

another tribute from Johnny Dwork - publisher of Duprees Diamond News. This is somewhat long and very deep as it's 100% spot on.
...." And then there was Bobby’s guitar playing—the art of the man who refused the obvious note. Bobby didn’t play chords; he played functions. Where most rock rhythm guitarists rely on block harmony—full triads or barre chords that clearly spell out the music—Bobby almost never did. Instead, he implied harmony, often omitting the root, sometimes even the third, trusting the bass and the rest of the band to complete the picture. Harmony became communal rather than declarative. The music breathed. It listened to itself.
Bobby approached rhythm guitar as counterpoint. His lines moved independently of the lead melody, often in contrary motion, rhythmically alive and conversational. Rather than reinforcing the beat, he danced around it, illuminating the spaces between pulses. This was closer to classical counterpoint than to conventional rock accompaniment—and it gave the Grateful Dead their unmistakable transparency and lift.
Rather than leaning primarily on blues or pentatonic frameworks, Bobby thought modally—Mixolydian, Dorian, and at times Lydian hues—favoring ambiguity over resolution. Modal harmony resists gravity. It suspends time. And that suspension is what allowed the Dead’s improvisations to stretch endlessly without ever feeling indulgent or lost.
His rhythm playing was angular, percussive—often the knife cutting against the grain. He favored syncopation, unexpected accents, clipped chord stabs. Rhythm, for Bobby, was geometry: a structural force equal to harmony, shaped as much by silence as by sound.
Perhaps most importantly, Bobby rejected hierarchy. There was no permanent foreground or background in his playing. His guitar functioned as a living force within a complex musical ecosystem—sometimes stabilizing, sometimes destabilizing, always listening. He never competed with the lead guitar. He made it possible.
As a philosopher, Bobby was careful—always—to frame his worldview as his own, never as doctrine. He was humble, curious, and deeply respectful. As an activist, he was powerful and generous, especially in service of environmental causes, giving millions toward a better future.
A fine human he was. A master listener. A once-in-a-multi-generation musician. May the music never stop! ... "

re: Shattered my calcaneus today. AMA
Posted by Got Blaze on 1/12/26 at 1:56 am to grizzlylongcut
Shattered (pic below) or fractured ? There is a difference. Fractured - surgery not likely, non-weight bearing for 8-12 weeks, Sedentary work release, ambulate with a knee scooter, physical therapy 3x’s a week for 8 weeks. Shattered - major fusion surgery with lots of hardware, your ankle/heel will never be the same, extensive PT, 100% recovery at maximum medical improvement - full duty release: 9-12 months.
I work in the medical field dealing with treatment for all types of injuries. According to my 30+ yrs of experience, a coccyx (tailbone) and calcaneus shatter are the 2 worst injuries one can deal with

Only a matter of time before the same thing happens and out of control at the HS level. Elijah Haven (Dunham HS) just signed an NIL contract with Matt Bowers "based on his accomplishments". I'm guessing the entire FB team at IMG Academy has NIL contracts since they're basically a HS all-start team being groomed to play at the FBS level.
It was called on Jimmy Graham when the Saints won on a last second Hail Mary
