That’s a great look.

Got to see these guys rock it this past Saturday!

Zappa out in perfect boater weather. I've read conflicting info on whether or not that's his mom. Jim?

I believe you're right.

Grand Funk Railroad

They do put on a good show, but to me, it isn't the same without Mark Farner. In fact, having seen GFR with Mark and without him, as well as Farner on his own, I'd drive past a GFR show if Mark was playing down the street.

I know, I know...

The Band. Sorry if it’s a repeat.

Levon Helm in front of the sign in Marvel Arkansas.
Levon was born in the Philips County Arkansas town of Elaine.
He grew up in a tiny community called Turkey Scratch that was outside of Marvel.

The boyhood home of Mark Lavon "Levon" Helm.

Old Turkey Scratch store.

Gord DownIe of the Tragically Hip. I believe this hat was made by Lilliput Hats in Toronto.
Not my photo.

Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot, they say

In one of his last interviews Robbie Robertson said when Levon quit the band for the last time it was because he thought he should share more in the songwriter credits & money with Robbie. He went on to say he & Levon settled their differences before Levon passed. Now Robbie has passed also.

"Levon quit the band for the last time"
Robbie ended the band. Levon didn't quit. Very clear from many interviews Levon didn't want the band to end.

"settled their differences"
Not true either.

Ok, you win.

Not true either.

Judging by the intro to this clip, it seems to me that they had indeed settled their differences, although maybe that was just Robbie's perspective. Either way, I thought his words were touching:

Levon was unconscious on his deathbed.

Duane Eddy (April 26, 1938 - April 30, 2024).

"indeed settled their differences"
Levon was unconscious on his deathbed.

I think it was pretty plain that Levon was unconscious; Robbie made that clear, and I understood what he said. What do you have to offer to confirm they didn't settle their affairs? Short of "Not true either".

Levon held great animosity / bitterness towards Robbie Robertson, rightly or wrongly. There's no evidence that that ever changed including in the clip you shared.

Not sure about that last shot. The lady should have kept the hat on, LOL.
