Bridge School Benefit

Big Sur, Bridge School, and San Francisco were all great this weekend. We had a fun night of frolicking drunk in the trees and then woke up with pounding heads yet happy hearts. We even saw zebras on the roadside yet I think they were only zonkeys. We ate outside the entrance of a Ralphs and looked liked vagrants to the old women with their stink faces and evil eyes. The Bridge School show had awful sound but there were some cool parts. Wilco was great, they played to Woody Guthrie songs, including Jesus Christ for President, and three of their own. Counting Crows was ok, they covered Friend of the Devil by the Grateful Dead. Pearl Jam was awesome. I am officially back on the PJ train after that show. They sounded the best and brought the best mojo to the show. They opened with the most haunting version of Dylan's Masters of War that I've ever heard, and then went to couple of their own songs. They then then played 25 seconds to go by Cash and I nearly jumped out of my pants. Mass repect to PJ for that. Then Willie Nelson came on and he was completely stoned. It was a great set. CSN&Y finished things off and were great as well. We then drove to our hotel room and happened to cover inch of floorspace that was available except the tub. We woke up and went to San Francisco to walk a lot and eat bad Chinese food. We then road back to SoCal on our horses to see the hills on fire.

I know so many people affected by these fires. I know a couple guys in Simi, five in the mist of the San Diego blazes, and about 10 families in the Big Bear/Arrowhead/Crestline area. It's incredible to think that so much of the mountains in San Bernadino are gone and entire towns could be wiped out. I'm going to be praying a lot today. I think a lot of people are.

I'm going to get comments on this site soon.
