I'd grab him by his balls if he ever came onto my yard. Just because, you know, I'm a star on my yard, and he'll let me do that. Precedent, your honor. If Weinstein comes onto my yard, I shoot him, because he's not president. But not to kill, killing is bad, just because this is Texas and I can probably get by with it because again, I'm a star on my yard. No offense anybody, this is just locker room talk.

Here we go. More "interesting" then than now, but damn, Grady Tate, not just playing the gig, but making the gig. Seems like you never had to worry if Grady Tate was on the gig.

And Dan may or may not be right, not sure, truthfully, we have levels of different evolutions occurring simultaneously, and maybe a further empowered female/sympathetic male environment calls this pig out now that "that type of thing" is no longer acceptable. "Locker room", still acceptable, apparently, but let's see how that goes. Calls for speculation on the part of the witness, your honor. As for "shocking", no, not really. The difference between "casting couch" and "rape" may be as much the perception of the victim as it is anything. Times have changed, perceptions of aggression have evolved, thankfully, and women are waking up as they do. I'm evolved, I can very much compartmentalize. Weinstein's a pig. Fuck him. And I still vote for Hillary, given the choices (and yeah, I get that there are others who went the other way for the same reason) . And Bill, too, given those choices, but yeah, fuck him too, Fuck anybody of any gender who utilizes their genitals as weapons of diminishment, whenever the time befalls. Whatever lens it is that sees all that as incompatible, I still ain't looking through it. Yeah, I think we're hinging on deletion, but let's give everybody a quick minute to get it all out before we do that. I'll be back in a few. Carpe diem, defensive liberals and paranoid conservatives, have at it.

Predators know no political affiliation. It's a pathology, not a philosophy.

The first time I knowingly heard him was out of the cutout bins, some Leonard Feather thing about 60s Encyclopedia Of Jazz The Blues, Side One was an Oliver Nelson session, three tracks, and Grady Tate caught my attention on all three, especially on "I Remember Bird". That was when I was a kid, and ever since then, I've never avoided a record because Grady Tate was on it. In fact, on a few, he's been the swing factor (no pun intended, although totally apparent). This guy really played a lot of music, good music, and seems to have had a stable life as a result. More of that, please!

Not just a drummer, but a very distinctive vocalist who made one record, Feeling Life , that is just a ginormous pile of WTF????-ness courtesy of arranger Robert Freedman and Tate's unflinching ability to engage those arrangements on their own terms. and oh yeah, second only to Gene Ammons as far as having the definitive version of "Sack Full Of Dreams". But of course, also a superb drummer who always brought it, to any gig, for anybody. The phrase "consummate professional" and "total musician" can be applied to him in the best possible ways. RIP.

Is there no Halloween in Canadia? What do they do with all the candy?

I love the way he swung the Kenton band when/as possible. Nice full ride cymbal, bombs dropped very clearly, snare/bass accents never unrelated, just a damn good, swinging drummer who kept things in motion at all times.

Yeah, yet. And hopefully never. So what keeps you between the lines , hopefully forever, and what lets this guy go outside the lines? That's what I'm curious about, and I'd like to see that path of investigation continued. Probably won't be definitive, but still, this was not a "normal" person who "suddenly snapped". He was, however, a person who seems to have been on a gradually outbound path for a while. Maybe there's some things there to look at, maybe not.

Autopsy his brain, like they did with Charles Whitman, trace his life back years, not just weeks, Larry might have been joking about "multiple server syndrome" but still, this is a guy who appears to have spent some time building up a feeling of superiority to and contempt towards other people. Might take a while to piece together a fuller picture, but it's worth a try, if only because there's a lot of that going around these days, and if it's not yet common to have one random guy decide that he's entitled to take lives for his own amusement or some such, because he feels that he's above all of them, then the trend is definitely there, and is little by little getting mainstreamed. That's what I'd like to see investigated, because that's what all of this is starting to look like to me, like it's an easy answer, but not an easy blame.

Have the D-Backs road grey been that grey all year?

I would like to learn the chronology of how long it took him to get that crazy, and then how long he stayed that crazy. It seems that at some point he became a full-blown sociopath, but then rode it for a good while before fully acting out on it to this final degree, Maybe as much as he won't help us understand "mass killers", he can that much help us understand sociopaths, Myself, I think this is The Golden Age Of Sociopathy, so let's get busy studying,

I'm comfortable with that he went crazy at some past point and then stayed crazy until the end. Either that or he was being mind-controlled. This whole "double life" thing.... There are crazy people everywhere, it's the primary ingredient in modern life, and has been for a good while now. Make people crazy, and then set the traps and take the money. Of course, this guy was crazier than most, but I tell you, he was crazy, even if he hid it longer and better than most. Of course, everybody's got their own idea of crazy, but if survival is hard-wired into most living things,, it's not hard to see how easy it is to go crazy once insecurity turns into action.

I think it's safe to say that the future is yet to come! And also that bureaucratic fuck ups are part of our past history, as well as the future, we does lie ahead, history not yet made, but surely to be there as tomorrow's past, just waiting to have happened.

Oh, I see, that's what you're saying, not that " there's got to be more to it than what's in the article". Thanks for the clarification!

Book or no book, yeah, Stan Levey, no bullshit with Stan Levey.

Oh, so you're going to learn more the same as the rest of us, you just stopped in to play the "knee jerk" card, right? Duly noted!

He was fucking crazy, that's all the motive anybody needs. Either that or he was being mind-controlled. Either way, not complicated. People wring their hands every time this happens and wonder how it could happen. It's easy - people go fucking crazy, that's how. Guns are easy to get and people go fucking crazy. A child can do that math, it takes an adult to make it complicated. Now, why do people go fucking crazy? Hell if i know. But they sure be doing it.

Yes, please elucidate. As of now, best as I can tell, there is neither more nor less to the story than is in the article.

Holophonor is at another critical transition point in their career, announcing the release of the band's sophomore record, Light Magnet. Signing with the quickly rising Los Angeles jazz imprint World Galaxy for the release of their forthcoming LP, the Wayne Shorter produced outing will land on physical and streaming formats October 6, 2017. As a winner of ten Grammy Awards over the last half-century, the voice and vision that he brought to Miles Davis’ Second Great Quintet, fusion powerhouse Weather Report, and his solo output is amplified through Holophonor’s Light Magnet. Retaining the same members since the original formation of the band, Holophonor's Light Magnet includes Eric Miller (trombone), Mike Cottone (trumpet), Josh Johnson (alto sax), Diego Urbano (vibraphone), Miro Sprague (piano), Dave Robaire (bass), and Jonathan Pinson (drums). These musicians come from various locations in the States and across the world, bringing a unique collective insight that has merged into one spirit and voice. Mastering was completed at the Cosmic Zoo by Daddy Kev, with the original engineering and mixing provided by the one and only Alex Chaloff. Video capture of the Jim Henson sessions was also preserved by Alex Chaloff, adding the historical lens for a series of videos scheduled to release in the next few months. Light Magnet takes the efforts of their debut and raises the bar even higher, bringing in production duties from Wayne Shorter from the recommendation of legendary producer, and now president of Blue Note Records, Don Was. The acoustics of the original recordings are top notch, capturing the album at the historic Jim Henson Company owned Henson Recording Studios. Taking on a director role that was a life changing experience of guidance for Holophonor, Wayne Shorter had the group record some of the music in 45-minute intervals to find the perfect takes within. This was also done with the hopes of capturing the band's ability to gather superb song transitions and e.s.p. like band chemistry; something they've harnessed with precision in the live setting. Wayne Shorter had experienced the band's live performances prior to the Light Magnet recordings, and this was the basis for the type of overall feel he wanted them to document. This spontaneous yet well oiled approach influenced the more traditional paths the band utilized for tracking, giving Light Magnet a well rounded out sense of creation that pulls from multiple recording methods. Light Magnet is beautifully enigmatic and dynamically bold, producing a sense of emotion and wonder that touches the entire human experience. World Galaxy will release Holophonor's Light Magnet October 6, 2017 across digital and physical formats (CD / LP). The expansion of west coast jazz continues and Light Magnet is a commanding force of energy in this new wave. credits released October 6, 2017 Eric Miller (trombone) Mike Cottone (trumpet) Josh Johnson (alto sax) Diego Urbano (vibraphone) Miro Sprague (piano) Dave Robaire (bass) Jonathan Pinson (drums) Wayne Shorter (producer)

And I can turn around and turn wine right back into into "water"! Where's MY church, huh? My Church Of The Reciprocating Fluid Transformationalism? Tell you what though, I once worked with a singer who could turn my blood into wine. Needed an exorcist for that one....
