    The tide immediately came in and washed it away.

    I cannot believe you missed the opportunity to say TILDE.   One "L" folks and he would have had it.

    Exactly what I wanted and expected. The line was erased by the next wave

    The wind blew my intent totally south and yonder somewhere into the deep mystic.

    Ya know, Sharonna, your political leanings kinda suck, but your musical leanings are excellent.

    It took me years to appreciate this man.  I never knew what the big deal was about him during the 60's when Bill Graham  used to rave about him in Rolling Stone.  I didn't get it.  Then one day, I realized I loved all his stuff.  I had an epiphany, I guess.  Brown-eyed girl.  No one can sing that and make it sound good.  He did....  speaking of brown eyes.... oh wait, I might get penaltied if I dare post the Trump sphincter mouth picture.  

    So, just imagine my sick mind at work.....

    Bill Graham Passes

    The night they shut the Fillmore West down: music, nostalgia and basketball

    Bill Graham and I are both Capricorns, both left-handed, both Jewish, both lovable, warm people.
    —Judi Land, senior salesgirl at the Fillmore West concession stand

    Like many people whose faces resemble caricatures or, perhaps, masks, Bill Graham appears almost too familiar upon first live encounter, a bit too close to the news photo version. Unnerving. At least that's how it seemed June 29th, the night of the last Fillmore West in-house basketball game, audition and surprise jam. Though wearing an official purple Fillmore West jersey and matching trunks, Graham was instantly recognizable from his famous cartoon features — the terrifying arched eyebrows, the reptilian lines connecting his larger-than-life nose and mouth. It's one of those high-contrast faces that can be xeroxed with amazing accuracy. Try it.

    His reputation, too, is something of a caricature, a legend of immoderate energy and temperament, and this also made him recognizable that Tuesday night as he dribbled, coached and hollered up and down the strangely bright Fillmore West basketball court.

    To Graham, a man of excellent form for 40 years, nothing is "just a game." Someone mentioned the phrase to him at a basketball game two years ago and he bellowed, "Are you outa your f*ck*ng mind? Why play if you're gonna lose?"

    I felt empowered and darn relieved to have made a decision that took a lot of pain and drama out of my life for good.

    An adversary (bully) backed off, never to bother my friends again.
