2020 strikes again. We were to go rafting in Hell’s Canyon this coming week, but a rockslide closed the only direct road to it (from our direction). I’ve already been to Hell (Grand Caymans) and the Gates of Hell (Stanford campus), so I was looking forward to Hell’s Canyon. Hopefully later this year.

On that note, I’ll leave you with a song of independence that is a little different from most, but one of my favorites. The lineup has Dave Alvin on guitar and, if I remember correctly, Tony Gilkyson from Lone Justice (both replacing Billy Zoom). This is the lineup the second time I saw them. Which remind me, I have a quote from John Doe’s follow-up to Under the Big Black Sun I want to share (and saw a reference to the other evening, strangely enough). One of these days I’ll be able to get back to semi-full time blogging…
