Guys like Morrison don't give a schnitzel, they probably would rather have you NOT attend. They aren't doing it for the money. From AI: "Van Morrison has expressed that fame is largely a burden, describing it as a "pain in the ass" that intrudes on his privacy and personal life. He prefers to focus on his music rather than the superficial aspects of celebrity culture." I don't agree with him on certain issues... BUT he's right on when it comes to status & money... He ain't doing the show for you.

Yeah... In all fairness Morrison & Dylan are known for this throughout their career. I really say I can't blame them. Stick to Coldplay.😜

This is just creepy!

You wanna make Baby Jesus cry!

Ah... Gee... You were warned, no? "Everything But The Hits" How can you feel ripped off when he was basically telling you you're gonna be ripped off... LoL... /smdh I like Van Morrison even more now for his blunt honestly... He's always got a bad rap as being an overly pretentious douchebag & his politics aren't my cup of tea... BUT I can respect his music & brutally blunt commentary on commercialism... "Down through theosophy, and the Golden Dawn", etc... lol Hope he played: "Down through the weeks of ages" "In the moss borne dark dank pools" "Rave on, down through the industrial revolution..." "...Rave on, Walt Whitman, nose down in wet grass Rave on, fill the senses On nature's bright green shady path..." See, I just got you return value on your hard dolla that purchase that ticket. Now you don't have to holla... Sounds like a great show for the value.

You @ the ballpark?🤣

Attempting this is almost as ridiculous as the first half to the Atlanta game yesterday! Enjoy!😏 https://nypost.com/2025/10/13/lifestyle/the-nyc-slice-shops-on-doordashs-50-best-local-pizzerias-list/

A broken clock is right twice a day, blind squirrel finds a nut.

This is insane!

Nice! What's the closest Bills Backers in this God forsaken PhillyLand!😔 I am getting Blackwood, NJ... Sam's... Ever been there, decent?

Sicklerville... Winslow Township. Probably a stone's throw from you! Daughter is in Camden...

Yeah... Geology in college (UB) kinda does that.😕 But in all seriousness, Upstate WNY does have very interesting, beautiful geology/geography... Where you at now? Still In South NJ/Winslow?... I am there now for the next 10 days... Daughter and family live there!

We used to hike the old trolly trail from Barcelona on Lake Erie to Mayville on Lake Chautauqua... ...Upstate NY is a serious of escarpments... Niagara, Onondaga, then Portage... Geology is glacial tilted upwards... ...When you say "Chautauqua Ridge", do you mean the "Portage Escarpment?" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portage_Escarpment This is what basically impounds the eastern basin of Lake Erie: Also called the "Allegheny Escarpment." Onondaga is between Portage & Niagara... This creates the upper rapids @ mouth of L.Erie & Niagara River... You see the cut along the 33/Kensington Expressway/Main Street Rte.5 in say Williamsville and beyond: Then of course the big one, Niagara Escarpment, goes all the way to Door County, Green Bay, Wisconsin... Creates Niagara Falls:

Much like the Tug Hill Plateau gets absolutely hammered from the prevailing west-east winds along the fetch of Lake Ontario (which never fully freezes, even in the harshest winters). On Lake Erie, just pray for early cold, hard freeze that shuts the lake effect off by early January. Cold 🥶 is good! Interesting fact about the Blizzard of '77... Only about 10" of system snow fell. Lake Effect was shut off with an early freeze on Lake Erie... But lots of snow was sitting on the ice from previous snowfalls... The arctic winds blew it off!

Yesterday I learned this was a cover... Took me 57.5 years to find out... Heard it on John Mayer's Sirius channel while driving to New Jersey: The Everly Brothers first recorded it: Actually many covers of it, but thought it was Nazareth's...

The Pope... lol

Pope's pizza is Aurelio's... I think sauce is too sweet... Http://AureliosPizza.com

Just local joints...

When it comes to deep dish, I like Beggars, Lou Malnati's, & Edwardo's "stuffed." Beggars: Lou Malnati's: Edwardo's Natural: Beggars makes a good tavern style thin: Official WhiteSox pizza... Beggars uses corn meal under the crust...

Chicago thin crust. Deep dish is only like 50 years old. https://blog.slicelife.com/move-over-deep-dish-thin-crust-is-the-real-pizza-of-chicago/ Also called "tavern style" for the way it's cut... The original Chicago pizza. Better than greasy New York. Cracker crust... BUT I still voted for doughy BFLo. It isn't bad. I'd rank top 3 FastFood pizza as: 1. Domino's 2. PizzaSlut 3. LittleSqueezer's That's only the more recent deep dish. Original Chicago pizza is thin crust.

Traditional Catholic... 😉

You TradCaths get me all the time!

Amazin' what idiots are out there: "Another shared, "Bad Bunny has 4 months before he is deported." ..." https://www.themirror.com/entertainment/celebrity-news/maga-call-bad-bunny-deportation-1434541?int_source=amp_continue_reading&int_medium=amp&int_campaign=continue_reading_button#amp-readmore-target Bad Bunny deported and while they're at it, deport me back to New York State... 😆🤣

Yeah... Someday I will be as mature as you. I am trying! 😜 And why didn't Buffalo get an MLB franchise in 1977? Why did the lose the Braves and Toronto pick up Raptors a decade later. We must of did something wrong?

But blame it on NYS! 😆🤣 Niagara Falls & Tesla invented the AC motor... Where does all that power go now... Toronto & NYC... Like everything else, easy to resent when your region is turned into "Radiator Springs."
