We saw her opening for Bob Dylan a few years back and she was amazing and definitely the highlight! (I love Dylan but his voice isn't that great anymore, he couldn't care less about playing what the audience wants to hear, and he didn't say one word outside of singing!)
Well I wouldn’t have said it if weren’t correct. She’s talked about in interviews over the years. IIRC she used to sing with The Band back when they were Dylan’s band. lol
I get the impression he will restore common sense and normalcy (but I admit my information bubble may be skewing my viewpoint).
He will bring misery pain - to who?
He will tank the economy and screw everyone. What is “common sense” about him threatening Panama, Mexico, Canada, Greenland, etc. or wanting retribution? Thinks he is above the law and a wannabe dictator? Yeah you are delusional
Yes that development is odd.
He's accusing Panama of charging excessive rates and expressing concerns about potential Chinese influence.
Trying to buy Greenland is weird.
I don't know who to trust anymore.
What song will they play in the Trump Whitehouse when Kid Rock and Ted Nugent walk in? "Wax The Booty", Kid Rocks 🤢 "breakthrough hit", or "Jail Bait", Ted Nugent's textbook depiction of mother-assisted child-rape? Your man is a pervert, so you must be one too, since you're in 🥰🥰🥰.
Is she so bad? Here is Nugent's song Jail Bait. The 👱♀️ in the picture above is his daughter. It says:
"I don't care you're just 13"
Listen to the end where the final lyrics are:
Wait a minute officer
Don't put those handcuffs on me
Put them on her and I'll share her with you https://youtu.be/3P3_8U2yeOI
Do you listen to what he says? Has threatened over 100 individuals and groups of people with everything from prison to street violence to police & military assault. This was before the election. Since then his threats are more focused on other countries. Interesting that you call it “normalcy.”
If they can’t sing, why detract from her marvelous voice. Saw Sir Paul at fenway a number of years ago and while I understand everyone wants to sing along, let the man Sing!! I didn’t go there to hear out of key people squawking at the top of their voices. Just my opinion. I can’t sing so I don’t.
Yep, unless she was dealing with a life emergency (and it sure didn’t look like it), she was missing her actual life as a never-to-be repeated epic thing unfolded.
When House of Blues opened in New Orleans in 94, Mavis was part of an all-star lineup who performed. She came onstage singing “Respect Yourself,“ and the place went nuts.+++
2/ Then Dan Ackroyd rushed out and explained that because the show was being recorded and there’d been some kind of glitch, Mavis was gonna have to go back offstage and start over. She didn’t miss a beat; total pro. I guarantee you nobody who saw the final product ever knew.
We saw this happen in 2016 as well. Obama had a tremendous relationship with the Grammy Museum for a series of WH concerts, and with Trump's victory, it just stopped.
Thanks! It really was a lot of fun. Little kids actually wanted our autographs...lol...the marching sucked as a sousaphone player, but whatya gonna do?
Man of many talents. I envy you your musical ability. I can’t sing, draw, write, play an instrument, and butcher any foreign language I try to learn. But I’ll master Spanish I hope! My sister got all the artistic talent. Not that she used it but we all do dumb things with our lives I guess. I did!
Our experiences are what bring us to where we are today and make us the people we are. We should never have regrets over our past, even our mistakes. We learn, we improve, we go forward. And we are better for it. You’ve had some great experiences I’ll bet!
I did, for 36 yrs. (2 jobs, back-to-back). I remained acutely aware of the fact that - in having a job in which I could make a decent living AND whereby I could feel I was doing something meaningful & in furtherance of the public good - I was lucky... luckier than most folks.
I was waiting for the village people to ban the use of ymca but apparently they made a lot of money, bummer meanwhile the real ymca, a non-profit isn't real thrilled.

Bill T Jones laughing at her is everything. Fun fact— Bob Dylan proposed to her, in the 60s I think?
Mavis is so full of love & life and she’s aged beautifully— Dylan not so much. Lucky you that you saw that show. 🩵
Well I wouldn’t have said it if weren’t correct. She’s talked about in interviews over the years. IIRC she used to sing with The Band back when they were Dylan’s band. lol
She has the video up in her Instagram account and it’s much clearer. I saw it there a few days ago.
Bonnie and Mavis in Omaha. She's amazing!

We’re leaving common sense and normalcy behind, we could have continued that, but noooo, eggs are to expensive.
Jfc
Biden has pushed us to the brink of nuclear annihilation.
And keeps pushing.
Trump is far from perfect, but arguably the lesser of evils.
And I noticed someone wearing a face mask.😀
It's the end am afraid.
…if it’s like this 👍🏿

Lyin' to the races"
No rehearsal
No practice period
No MIC
Effing hell she is baller
Mavis all day, every day 🤚
Now I want to pull out "The Last Waltz" and listen to her sing "The Weight."
Just what I needed today 👍❤️👏
