Casey (host) 6:29:52 PM
Off the album where I think they recorded a cover of Franklin's Tower for the sessions (??? ...don't quote me on that I may have imagined it)
Brian D 6:29:54 PM
Mistakenly thought it was Mickey Sprawl that used Feedback from LD other day
Brian D 6:31:38 PM
I think the Meat Puppets cover of Franklin's is on the reissue cd of the crazy noise debut self titled lp
Casey (host) 6:31:38 PM
You wouldn't be the first to confuse us lol
Casey (host) 6:31:45 PM
My mistake
Brian D 6:33:02 PM
Hank Rollins/ Andrew Weiss Wartime is a fun cover of Franklin too
Casey (host) 6:33:19 PM
Cannot imagine Henry singing the Dead lmaoo

Hank Rollins has a great entry in his diaries book Get in the Van about Black Flag going to see the Dead in Chula Vista 1985. He loved it. Especially their sound system. Said he'd definitely go again.
Brian D 6:38:23 PM
Donkey is harder to greet now. He's in a middle field further back off road. Goats and ponies doing alright tho. Busy with their eatin o the green

Donkey is older gentler soul. Young ponies were harassing him. Had to separate from what I heard
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 6:44:53 PM
