The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 05, 2024

Don’t you just love a good sunrise/sunset?

And the radio is playing “Let the sunshine in”

“Here Comes The Sun” George Harrison

Lots of fireworks tonight, went out to see them but all I got was the sound. too many trees…that’s a good thing but I’d like to see them

I live in a town in the north-west of Italy with a lot of trees and green. When I worked, waiting for my colleague before dawn, in spring and summer, a multitude of birds sang continuously from two trees in front of me.

The most beautiful concerts I’ve ever listened to: different every day, in stereo, and above all free.

One of the best concerts they never went to.

I do like my back yard

The view could be better. Let the grandkids draw on that fence.

Sigh

and no parking hassles…!

Neil Young and Crazy Horse recently played at our local amphitheater. Top price ticket? $900! Lawn seats were $75. As much as I love Neil, I took a hard pass.

Simple pleasures often bring the most fulfillment don’t they Brutus?

Brutus knows how to show everyone a good time .

And they’re economically friendly in price as well….

what’s an amphitheater? :\

I approve of Plan B.

Back in the 1940’s-50’s and early 60’s as farmers we often saw spectacular sunrises and sunsets here in N.C. and Aurora Borealis visible every clear night. Then pollution struck and GOP. Need I say more?

With the heat index over 100, as much as I love this, I’ll pass until fall

Every once and awhile Brutus hits one out of the ball park.

Here in Central Illinois there is a lot of very good live music that is free or very inexpensive—Friendly Valley, Kenny’s, DESTIHL Brewery, Peoria Public Library…

Go see live music and buy the merch!

Our Concerts in the Park are free. Just BYOB (Bring Your Own Blanket).

Mother nature’s shows can be every bit as entertaining and they’re free! Not sure about that fence though

Enjoying the beautiful day, pick your own music, no crowd or parking problems, saved a bunch of money, easy access to the restroom, yep good plan.

When I lived in LA I went to the Hollywood Bowl frequently. However, now the cheaper seats cost around $90. Too rich for this retiree’s budget!

Better than being in the upper deck in a baseball stadium.

As long as you can hear the music……:-)

That works for me too Brutus! “Be it ever so humbled, there is no place like Home”.

Good Call Brutus. Beers cheaper too!

I just realized I don’t think I have ever seen Gladys go to the diner. I think that could be very funny. I could have missed it, if it happened.

A local news in Los Angeles had a long video about LA banning illegal fireworks and their news chopper was up in the sky 2 hours before midnight and you can see all the huge explosions that were obviously illegal fireworks going off.

I saw Joe Cocker and Jethro Tull in concerts in Tuscaloosa Alabama. Standing next to the stage for Joe Cocker. Also some local ones (mostly in Louisiana). All were good. The prices for JC and JT were not large enough for me to remember.
