Allman Brothers are my favorite band EVER! I've been going to see them since I was 17 and friends with one of their roommates. I moped for months after Dwaynes' and Barry's deaths. I love so many of their songs, think Whipping Post is my all time favorite song, it just moves me so much, the passion it burns! Sweet Melissa is another all time fave, along with In Memory of Elizabeth Reed. Love their blues covers too - Young Girl Blues blows my socks off. Still think they made the best music, no one can surpass them in my book. Stevie Ray Vaughn would be 2nd I guess.

I also really like Rambling Man because it was the first of their songs I heard on the radio. I had been a fan for years previously, was so excited to actually finally hear my favorite band as I was riding down the road.

We usually end the day with Brian Williams. No nonsense, no self promotion but this evening, running all the clips of the bizarre meandering of Trump - could not take it. Turned it off at half point, more or less.

David Muir, on the ABC news, also ran the Carters clip.

The stories that guy can tell!

Clean-up on Aisle 6!

after reading that entire post? Alrighty then!

Some people, like the Carters, set great examples for us. Others, like Brian Williams, do not.

Three of them in this thread.

but the article was by Williams and about the Carters. You dislike the messenger, I get that, but don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

which he paid dearly for.

It's the way mankind imprinted experiences for survival before we had written history. It's a defense mechanism built into our DNA. Heck, Reagan thought he'd liberated the concentration camps. I despised him, but it's a phenomenon that is pretty normal.

I enjoy Brian Williams' show, too. It's by far my favorite nod the MSNBC nightly lineup.

That's just another platitude created by people to explain away the death of a young person. We humans have created dozens of them to assuage our unnatural fear of death.
That being said, congratulations to the most understood and underestimated president our country has ever had. The Carters are a constant inspiration and are the role models for living a caring, loving and productive marriage and life in general. They broke the mold when they made Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter. I wish them much love and continued years of showing us how to behave as human beings. I also hope they obliterate the record held by those disgusting Bush cretins.

only the good die young means that we miss the good when they go (at any age) and the bad we have around long after we wish we could get rid of them. That is what it means.

It's interpretation is not worth arguing about, that's for sure.

that is so incredible. IIRC he was used as kind of a test case. The kind of guy who would sacrifice himself for the better of others.
Wow.

Giving back to the community. Helping those in need. Who has been married for 72 fricken years to the same woman.

But the evangelicals would overwhelmingly choose Trump over Carter. A cheater, twice divorced scoundrel, who said he doesn't need God's forgiveness, and who only thinks about enriching himself. Go figure.

racism "trumps" true Christianity.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful story.

After Chris (Hayes), Rachel and Lawrence, he maintains the same sardonic tone against this ridiculous Dump presidency but delivers it in the old-time newscaster style (like our beloved Dan Rather) that I find comforting.

And he doesn't fucking interview a parade of Pukes like they do on CNN! Rick "Frothy" Santorum, what do you think about it all? Barf.

... I believe he is definitely the best PERSON to ever occupy that office, at least in the modern era. As much as I love and respect BHO, JEC is a VERY tough act to follow, even almost 4 decades later.
