Oh man I was a huge DKs fan! Saw them multiple times at the Mab in 78 and 79 when I was in grad school at Stanford. Jello Biafra had an electric stage presence. And the Mab was SMALL, you couldn't be more than a few feet from the stage ...

Figured I catch you with that one. And I loved their message, but even they sold out and fought each other in court over royalty money. Supposedly Jello pulled the same move that the producer for NWA did with Ice Cube and Dre a decade later (Jerry something).

Ever see Sid Vicious live? That was one crazy cat.

But I still think Cornell's best contribution to music is the 1977 Dead live Dick's Picks album...

You know Cornell Press published a book about that 77 Dead Show - which is generally considered the best Grateful Dead show of all time. I have an original bootleg cassette that is only going to be played one more time - and that is to digitize it.....

I'm like three more posts like this from going out and offering to pay for the next ten abortions for women who need them.

What are, "Tough-guy things said on the internet that will never happen in real life," Alex.

Try me, it's not a high priority for me in terms of giving (bottom of the list, I don't care), but there's plenty that cant afford it and need it.

I'm a strange, often extreme person. Push boundaries all the time, consider it life "price discovery".

Pics/vids or it didn't happen.

We’re talking $5k, by year end I’ll have to chop up between $100k-$200k between myself and my sister from my mothers estate (house some checking accounts and some small life policies). I have more to Hobart in my dads name when he passed in 2012 freakishly only to have the bend me over (“no please name a locker in the renovated boswell field, in truth we only raised $1mm of the $10mm of the cost so far” only to have it removed inside of three years and no one could or would answer why, a mess up in hiring a president, ineffective/local/insular BOT and keeping our feckless AD around a decade too long) so given I expect an uptick in income from distressed debt work in the back half of the year I need to make a couple of donations anyways. My mother even asked to be cremated so didn’t even have funeral expense, just a few hundred bucks for a biodegrade container to drop her in the ocean. She was pro women’s rights so it would easily honor her.

I was thinking environment or something else but this isn’t hard for me, folks keep putting up fouls comments and pics on this and I suspect if I share with my sister she’ll throw in another $5k and get 20 in need-and she’s relatively broke compared with me.

PM me an address and I’ll tell the ladies to send a thank you note to your house and stay anonymous.

Sam Wang/Princeton (who totally biffed 2016) doesn't do a win probability. Has Joe at 356 median EC votes.

Economist has Joe at 88% in the EC and 98% for the pop vote. 343 median EC votes.

JHK Forecast has Joe at 85%. 343 median EC votes

PluralVote has Joe at 74%. 335 median EC votes.

538 (the best from 2016) does not have their forecast out yet.

To rehash 2016, 538 had it 79/21 on 6/26/2016, and 71/29 on 2016 Election day. 29% is not that unlikely -- chance of getting a six on one roll of one die is 17%.

Looking back on 538's model in 2016, the striking thing was how variable/dynamic the race was. Trump was 34% early June, 20% late June, 50% end of July, 12% mid-August, 45% late September, 12% mid-October, 35% on November 5.

TBD if 2020 will be a much more stable race or not.

I missed it, was never into GD …

Now the 74 Yes concert in Barton Hall is another story. This was recorded 4 days later in Detroit:



And I still think Close to the Edge is the single greatest piece of music ever written …

Amazing what sex and drugs can imprint on the young mind …

LOL that reminds me of my sister spending days and days one summer converting my dad's LPs to cassettes for him.

There are lots of gadgets like: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089W3N4YR/

Depending on the quality of tapes you might want to go with a different setup and find a stereo with an aux out to your computer's aux in. Then use a sound recording app and use a file format that's not as lossy as MP3. Also depending on what your time is worth you may want to take it to a local digitizer and pay them to do it.
