Stoked to see it, and glad Peter is still here to enjoy it !

1) Dan

It really doesn't matter now, but I wanted to point out that the reason this vine stalled out wasn't really anybody's fault....it seems Dan actually sadly passed away 2 days after signing up for this vine. My guess is he sent a pm, the CDs got mailed and he wasn't there to receive them.

I was just listening to this tonight, made me think of all that.

Saw the Blooze Brothers Sunday night - they were a lot of fun. Pulled up in the Bluesmobile, Jake and Elwood get out and walk through the crowd - played songs from the movie and some other Chicago bands songs. Looking forward to all the free music this summer and sitting on the deck with my Bose speaker every night ...

Marcus King Band Ramblin Man.

RE: Marcus King & Dan Auerbach and om Bukovac play Gregg's "Come and Go Blues"

Very nice Come And Go Blues. King is a top shelf guitar player. One of the best out there today.

Gregg wrote Come And Go Blues for Brothers and Sisters plus Wasted Words. But according to his book, Gregg wasn't that enthusiastic about Brothers and Sisters and expected the album not to sell as well as Eat A Peach and AFE. But it became the band's best selling album by a wide margin. And there was the item of Queen Of Hearts being rejected for the album and Ramblin' Man getting used.

Marcus King certainly lives up to having the sir name King. B. B., Freddy, Albert and now Marcus.

Here is King with another top shelf guitarist playing Summertime ⛱️ 🌞

RE: The Fallout From California's $20/Hour Fast Food Minimum Wage

PorkchopBob — Sun, 31 May 2026 13:56:29 +0000

I'm not an economist so I don't know what the number should be - $20 or $15 seems arbitrary. People have lost those jobs because the company has determined it not profitable (and not just CA) - have they adjust their corporate wages? How about lowering those from a few hundred thousand to a few less hundred thousand? They do the work! They make the sausage, that's the value.

I'll just always side with workers over the CEOs who become billionaires on the backs of labor because I'm a worker as well. As someone who has student loans, I believe people should be able to get a job that pays their rent without having an expensive college degree. I hate the attitude of "they have that and I don't so they shouldn't have that" so I agree, a night cashier should make more money too.

Since the 1970s cost have risen, wages haven't at the same rate, but CEOs continue to make more money. The market hasn't corrected for that. California still has the most billionaires of any state in the US, credit to the government for trying to tip the scales.

Regarding nursing home aides, I've had family members pay a small fortune (thousands and thousands of dollars per month) for those in-home end of life services. But the money goes to a private equity company or insurance, not the actual aide. That's a whole other conversation about how we treat our elders that I'd be more than happy to have. Those nurses should be getting the money as well. But again, the answer isn't to take away from some other worker, the answer is to take away from some corporate schlub. Murder isn't the answer, but Luigi Mangione's wrath wasn't unfounded.

RE: The Fallout From California's $20/Hour Fast Food Minimum Wage

@porkchopbob: You make some good points, but in the end, we'll have to agree to disagree. Wouldn't $15.00 an hour be an acceptable minimum wage, even in California? One reason I say $15.00 is that the minimum wage here in Texas is $7.25/hour, so $15.00 is just over double that. $7.25/hour is ridiculously low and legislators here in Texas need to do something about it. But $20? It's hard for me to justify that for flipping burgers and slipping potatoes into a fryer. Do you even need a high school diploma to qualify? And as the article proves, many have lost their jobs entirely because of the new wage requirement. And since when did working at a fast food restaurant become a way to make a living wage, anyway? Wasn't that always considered a second tier job mostly for students or those starting out in the workforce while they worked towards something else? And applying $20/hour to the fast food industry and not any other "entry" position is flat out discriminatory. I'm sure there are still many working at entry jobs in nursing homes as aides who are directly involved in patient care who are making around $16 or $18/hour. Why doesn't the minimum wage apply to them? I could go on and on about hundreds of low level jobs which pay far less than $20. Why is a cashier at a gas station or 7-11 not included?
