A rock & Roll show should never be confused with elemental atomic fusion. Yet, there's where we began Phil & Tour's Friends las night in Santa Barbara. Those initial cords that invited everyone to "Come & Join The Party" were almost like subversive lyrics for a New Communisum of happiness & hope, but somehow mellowed into a first set beyond the unfolded World of expertise joy-spreading. Sugaree, Sorrowfully, we danced as the very songs they sung carried the night into rock-your-belly Dixie-Dom. What goes here? Alright, I'll skip to the second set. Hell, I'll call this thing a a RIOT, because them guys down there on that stage should be arrested for assault. "Cold Rain & Snow" with a gut-killer mandate. Then Dylan showed up, in the form of Little Jackie Green Man Leather Black Pant Tight, as he Funk/struck "Serve Somebody". It grooved it's way back into Rock, how I couldn't say. The Other One banished Bobby, when a cop came by, as Phil was smiled at for clouding on a busted day. OK, all this was cool, but..... "Brown Sugar"? Honest. I shouldn't say any more. So, you do the rest.
* raining like Hell!

ahhh, like to say thanks for the stream, I am on my way to listen now. From upstate NY and saw Phil in Saratoga last summer, what a beautiful day that was, and a pleasent surprise to see Joan. Now in Charleston and praying for some fine shows to come our way down here. By the way, where do all the kind people hang out in charleston?
Apparently I've found a worm hole in the time/space thingy.....
