It’s part of the fun, in my opinion. It completely runs amok with the “Hero With a Thousand Faces” path and, still, is an absolutly fun and interesting story. Joseph Campbell must be in after lige scratching his head and wondering “how the heck did this actually worked?”

Well, let’s be fair… he IS an old Asian guy. And who better to play an old Asian guy then an old Asian guy?

My grandparents’ house had that same pine paneling, brown plaid sofa, and early American side table. I think they’re probably still there

Sorry to hear that. Was fortunately a rare occurrence for us as our source was great
Still could get Sativa too, prior to Indica exploding (shorter crop cycles = more harvests). There was a good 10 year period where you could only get Sativa around Oct (mostly grown outdoors)
One of the nice thinks about legalization in Canada is Sativa is back on the menu

No shit. Very cool! I dig old Voivod, and those first 3 Soundgarden albums are sooo good.

The concept of sunscreen was not a thing in those days.

One of my daughters shares his birthday. The other shares his name.
Each Beatle has had a turn as my favorite. George probably had the longest tenure when I was first learning to play guitar.

Nice to see the photo... they were all independent labs. Eastman Kodak (Kodak) did not process consumers photos they were manufacturers of film and photo papers.
I understand they had the digital technology that replace film very early on but were making so much money on film and paper they sat on it. Then, boom... film was no more.
Well, film is still around but there are far more digital phots taken in one day today than in a year before. At virtually no cost.
(I used to be in the photofinishing business)

I wanted one of these so… badly. My friend had one and it was like a rabid Wiggums-esque crack head for it every time we played at his house.

Right, there was no popping over to the dispo and chatting with your budtender about the five thousand products on display, you had to page your dealer and buy what he had, or rely on the kindness of your friends.

A talented musician with a great sense of humor.
Thank you for all that you gave the world, George.

True. Compared to how his peers have fared.

I saw this band open for a local Quebec band called Voivod… a long time ago. Some band called Soundgarden was bottom of the bill.
