Tom Morello was doing a guest DJ spot I caught on the drive home and he spun up this
Epic Tribute to Nina Simone and others. This song nails it on so many levels. And Mavis still has it at nearly 80 years old!

Mavis Staples is so great
Got to see these lads from PDX here in NC last night. Great show. Played the entire Furr album- its the 10th anniversary- so they've matured a bit since this video was done.
A little diversion from recent days' events

OMG that is so amazing
Say a few prayers, send your most positive energies, blessings, love and if you can, donate to relief efforts. It is going to get worse before it gets better for the folks on the coast.

Monday I was in Surf City, NC and took this photo by the fishing pier.
Here is what it looked like today (I wasn't there). Strength and blessings to all my fellow Carolinians. Stay dry and safe.

Florence made landfall at Wrightsville Beach/Wilmington NC this morning- about 25 miles south of this location. Winds are picking up inland though where I am west of Raleigh I think we'll dodge the brunt.
Ya'll keep it sexy out there. :-)

Nothing like a fine woman in black leather and a fine motorbike.. :-)
Left the house around 8am this morning to head to the Triumph dealer to get the Tiger inspected for this year's tags. Got to the dealer and the battery died. OK, good it died at the dealer, but that meant I was going to have to wait around until they could get a tech to it (instead of just an inspection). BUT...it was demo day....

@littlejohn22 I wanted to like it a lot more than I did. Great cast. But the plot ended up being a formulaic rehash of the prior Ocean movies. Just substitute women for men. The script had potential, but the dialog was flat. The quips and one-liners that made the first one so good aren't in it. Entertaining enough, but I'd rather have seen it on Netflix than spent the $s at the movies. Oh well.

OK, Netflix it is, thanks mate
