RIP David Lindley

[Drunk Monk]

It's all a mushy mish mash of memories by now. I'm just saddened by how many memories have evaporated. Fortunately I have some scars to remind me...

Here's a nice Romeos and Mercury with interview bits that capture his priceless wit. 

[Drunk Monk]

I haven't watched all of this yet. Watching it in chunks. 

[Drunk Monk]

Man, KZSC 88.1, has been killin it with the tributes...

[King Bob]

DM - you didn't mention his reggae song where they do the live dub:




"Some of them are doing reggae, some of them are doing nothing"

[Drunk Monk]

His catalog is extensive. There’s plenty of stuff I didn’t mention.

I stopped eating tuna because of him.

[King Bob]

Because of your cut finger? That was eel.

[Drunk Monk]

Naw I still eat eel. 

It was the last time I saw him live. It was GAIA at the Hog Farm.

It was muggy and wound up sprinkling a little, but that was good as it kept the dust down.  

My first scheduled act was David Lindley.  I was a huge fan of his, and had forgotten why, but Dave immediately reminded me.  It was just him and his acoustic stringed instruments and he created a sound that was bigger than most 6-piece acts.  And there was nobody there, just a few old deadhead friends who knew.  I was close enough to perch on the hay bales at front of stage.  Dave tore it up.  I hadn't been following him over the last few years, and I regret that now.  He blew me away.  Little Green Bottle had me in tears - it was so funny.  And When a Guy Gets Boobs is too-close-to-home hilarious.  He went into Mercury Blues, which is one of my fav tunes from the El Rayo X daze - when Dave played that on steel pedal, it was a fight not to take off all my clothes and go dance off into the crowd.  Now it's Tuna Blues, an environmental song with a mercurial twist.  It affected me so much that I passed on tuna at lunch when I ate Japanese yesterday.  

I haven’t eaten tuna since…

[King Bob]

I almost never eat tuna, but eat sardines often. They are far lower on the food chain and the ones in olive oil are very tasty.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Sardines are tasty. H makes a dip with sardines and boursin cheese. Yum!

[Drunk Monk]

I used to eat a lot of sardines. Not so much lately.

[King Bob]

I hope someday to go to Spain and/or Portugal and sample all the sardines. And hams.

[Greg]

Thumbs up to the Spanish Ham.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

And Spanish sardines. We have a Spanish food store near us and the tinned fish selection is awesome

[Drunk Monk]

I've had Spanish sardines in Spain. Didn't do the ham tho. 

It's all about those tapas...

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

Had tapas last night @ Cha Cha Cha on Haight. Enough seafood for you
