Tryptophan the Light Fantastic

A wise man once said, “When you think of garbage, think of Akeem.” I’d like to just tweak that lasting quotation slightly today.

Thanksgiving, 30 years ago (almost today), The Band said farewell to the road forever with an epic celebration at the Winterland in San Francisco. So when you’re bored tonight, a little sleepy from all that turkey and drunk off all the wine necessary to put up with Uncle Frank’s close-talking and Aunt Miriam’s overbearing Jewishness, have a listen to the greatest concert in history, in its unrivaled entirety.

When you think of Thanksgiving, think of The Band. Big time, Bill, big time. Big time.
