Remember to say "Peace and Love" at noon today, wherever you are. If you miss the time, just say it anyway.
Why, you ask? It's Ringo's birthday. Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey) from the Beatles. He does this every year and has been doing this ever since the internet was fun, when trolls were just snarky and not threatening wars and revenge.
Maybe we can all start asking everyone to say "Peace and Love" on our birthdays, and pretty soon, everyone will say it to everyone! What could that do to change the world?
How about saying it to yourself every day, when you wake up to greet the day?
Think about it and try it. Let me know how that works out.
Sounds like music to my ears.
Speaking of music, we have a gig this weekend...
At The Saloon, of course.
4 - 8 pm on Saturday, June 12th. 1232 Grant Avenue, San Francisco.
Roy Blumenfeld is occupying the drum throne this weekend. Arne is mixing a live album for The Blues Project, and Roy is an original member of that band. The current edition is sort of a swampy, blues rock vibe. Nice people, great players.
Btw, if you are planning a trip out here, and for some reason, want to hear us live and in person, plan to be out here on or around the second weekend of every month. San Francisco is pretty awesome, regardless of what you see on some "news" programs.
Speaking of news, here's a media tip for you: If the news you see and hear looks and sounds similar to those tabloids near the register at the grocery or drug store, chances are, it's not true.
Sending love and best wishes out to all the people in Texas dealing with floods and folks dealing with hurricanes and tornadoes and whatever. I don't care who you voted for, I wish you well.
I have to go now, as I have many things on the to do list.
Ox,
Mari
p.p. please call your elected representatives and demand due process for all.
