Look, is it a belated birthday message from a copy of an AARP magazine? Yes. Does it boost my serotonin through the roof because I wasn’t expecting it? Yes.

Graham Nash on David Crosby’s Death: It’s “Like an Earthquake”

- Nash says pair were planning to speak for first time in years; Crosby had COVID-19 just before his death

Graham Nash, who hadn’t spoken to David Crosby in nearly a decade before Crosby died, said his friend’s death “is like an earthquake.”

Nash also said the two of them had exchanged messages and had set up a time for a phone call.

“He never called, and then he was gone,” Nash tells AARP the Magazine.

Crosby had been planning a return to the stage and had contracted COVID-19 for a second time during rehearsals, Nash said. He doesn’t know if that’s what ultimately killed Crosby - “nobody quite knows exactly when he died or what he died of,” Nash said - but his death wasn’t exactly a surprise.

“The truth is … we’ve been expecting David to pass for 20 years,” Nash said. “Since his liver transplant (in 1994) and all his stents. He had seven stents (in his heart). His body was really failing. But once again, I can only try to remember the good times, because we had many of them.”

Nash then went on to heap praise upon the man he called “my best friend for over 50 years.”

“I know many musicians, of course, and I’ve heard many musicians over my life,” he said.

“But I have never heard anybody with the same brilliant sense of music and harmony that David had. His death is like an earthquake. You know that you’re in an earthquake, but subsequently, other smaller earthquakes happen afterwards. His death has been like that. It was only two or three days after he passed that I realized that he was actually gone.”

Yet, Nash says he’s comforted by the fact he and Crosby were on the verge of repproachment. And Crosby’s friends and family have told Nash his estranged friend was “happy, smiling and laughing that we had been in contact.”

Death is “mysterious,” Nash said. “We always want to know if there is a heaven or a hell. We all hope that we die peacefully and not in pain. We want all those things. I wish to god that David would have had a better ending.

“But him being happy at the end made it much better for me to be able to accept.”

Meanwhile, have another beer.

I really need this whole entire male pattern baldness vs. oddity hair growth explained to me.

Whenever I shave off my beard, the ear hair appears to obtain rapid growth hormone or some shit.

Then there’s the open space on the top/ back of my head that keeps growing wider. Not to mention thinner.

On this day, 22 July 1946, actor and activist Danny Glover was born. The son of two postal workers who were also activists in the National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People, Glover took part in the longest student strike in US history in 1968. As a student at San Francisco State University, Glover took part in the successful strike of the Black Students Union and Third World Liberation Front demanding the creation of a School of Ethnic Studies. He worked in the Black Panthers free breakfast for children programme and helped them organise their newspaper. He later lived in a commune for a year, fought against the Vietnam war and colonialism in Africa and more recently has supported migrant workers, the occupy movement and Black Lives Matter. In 2004, in an interview with AARP magazine, he explained how he remains optimistic: 'I try to find hope in struggle and resistance in small places as much as I can. The progressive movement against the war of occupation in Iraq is a reason for hope, as is resistance to free trade agreements in Latin America. Those are moments that we have to celebrate: that people still find the resolve and energy to resist.'

Austin Butler | "AARP The Magazine's" 21st Annual Movies For Grownups Awards | January 28, 2023 | 🎥 New Vision

[alternateworldcomics]

DC Comics 1967 try at a "teen comic", called Teen Beat they had to change the name to Teen Beam with the second issue due to there already being a magazine called Teen Beat, there was no third issue.

It was made up mostly of black & white photos of rock bands, singers, and "teen favs."

It did however have a drawn color comic character called Teeny who gave her opinions on which groups would be the big stars to come, sort of an influencer over fifty years ahead of her time (the only one Teeny got right was the Bee Gees)

I guess she would be around 70 today, perhaps DC could bring her back in something called AARP Pulse.

Willie Nelson Has a Bluegrass Album in the Can; Says Trigger Will Carry on After His Death

Willie Nelson has recorded a bluegrass album “with a lot of great bluegrass musicians,” he tells AARP the Magazine.

Nelson didn’t reveal any names, the title or release date for the LP. But one familiar character is not on the record.

“I didn’t play Trigger at all,” Nelson said. “It’s the first album ever that I didn’t play Trigger since I’ve had him.”

Nelson is referring to his rode-hard Martin N-20 acoustic guitar, which has been with Nelson since 1969.

“Trigger has a life and a personality all his own,” Nelson said. “Whenever I die, I’ll let somebody else decide what Trigger does. He should be somewhere where he’s appreciated.”

While Nelson, who turns 90 April 29, will talk about death, don’t ask him about retirement.

“Jokingly, I retire after every tour,” he said. “But I’m always ready to go back again. I like the bus. I have everything I need on the bus. I never have to go into a hotel room anywhere. It’s not that bad.”
