:: boggles :: I had no idea Nelson was still around and active; Gods above and below, I can only hope I’m still that active at that age.

I doubt he’s selling it… kind of attached to it, I’d think!

It’s the pot…

He also recently did a song with Orville Peck…

If you ever get a chance to see Orville Peck live - take it!!

One day! I’d love to see him!

Willies singing and this song is causing me great difficulties in regulating my emotions.

Flaming Lips shows are worth seeing too. They are so uplifting!

I think I’ve seen the Flaming Lips five times now, every time was amazing and beautiful (though the last one was more than a decade ago now.)

They are remarkable songwriters, and it seems like sometimes that gets lost in their freaky image.
