R.I.P. Robbie...thanks for the tunes!!!

One of my favorite quotes:

Robertson said in 1968. “We just don’t think a name means anything. It’s gotten out of hand, the name thing. We don’t want to get into a fixed bag like that.”

Robertson is also involved with the music for the upcoming Scorsese film Killers Of The Flower Moon. Very appropriate, given Robbie's Native American heritage. 

Watched Once We Were Brothers yesterday and then read up on the Band and RR on the internet. Great movie and it was interesting to read about his experiences in Toronto where I also grew up.

I listened to Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde last night on headphones and liked it. I had that album on SACD for ages but never really listened to it. Maybe I am growing into Dylan. The Before the Flood album has become a recent fav.

I enjoyed the following 2 articles on RR:
