While doing a bit of reading about Brubeck last night I did a little wikiwandering looking at other artists; my dear old friend and confidant Mlle Jenny reminds me that the combined age of the Stones is about 275, the Who (if they were all still alive) is about 270, and the Beatles, if they were still alive, at 283.

Donald Fagen is 64, Walter becker 62

Anne Wilson was born in 1950 and Nancy in 1954.

Damn, motherfuckers, when did we get old? When did our musicians get so old?

I had just discovered she was a collector of matchbooks, and took her to a place that made each diner a book of custom printed matches which were on their table at dinner. They also had a little quartet, and I thought they were pretty good, so I slipped the piano player a twenty and asked if they could work in “Take five”. Not only could they, but they dedicated it to us (They had been the ones to print the matchbooks, so they knew who we were).

Dave Brubeck just died, a day short of 92. God rest him.

yes, I’m mad about Brubeck. I like your eyes; I like him too.

in the last month, that I haven”t had a haircut. I was beginning to get downright shaggy, and as I was hunting I didn’t care much but going back to work I needed to get back to my normal high&tight.

Joe is disgusted with the current political situation, but he’s 72. he knows he won’t live long enough to see it get much better. So he’s gonna keep cutting hair, and he’s gonna live his life. “You’re one of the only ones that gets it” he tells me. “We’re fucked”. I have difficulties disagreeing. Still, we have been through other difficulties, and while the solutions are grim, Us Yellowbeards are never more dangerous than when we’re dead.
