...One indulgence per sinner per day...

, , , ...

The announcement in church bulletins and on Web sites has been greeted with enthusiasm by some and wariness by others. But mainly, it has gone over the heads of a vast generation of Roman Catholics who have no idea what it means: “Bishop Announces Plenary Indulgences.”

In recent months, dioceses around the world have been offering Catholics a spiritual benefit that fell out of favor decades ago — the indulgence, a sort of amnesty from punishment in the afterlife — and reminding them of the church’s clout in mitigating the wages of sin.

I finally found the Holy Grail!!!

, , , ...

Well-- my grail, anyway...


OK... One of my grails...


(freakin' nitpickers... :rolleyes: )

Anyway, I grew up in the '70s, a hideous time to grow up despite what the alarming proliferation of "Classic Rock" radio stations might seem to indicate. So I did the logical thing: I resigned (culturally speaking) from My Generation, and looked around for alternatives. One of these alternatives was blues-- real blues-- not the pack of Eric Clapton wannabees that claimed to be "bluesmen".

Seneca, a band from Limerick, Ireland, played the Warehouse in Port Costa Friday, Nov. 21st

Sorry for the delay-- to many excuses even to count...

After dinner at the Bull Valley Inn (mentioned in the previous post) we went across the street to catch "some band from Ireland"-- Seneca-- and as we arrived they were still setting up.

The entrance to the Warehouse (more pictures here):

Genesis Hall by Richard Thompson

, , , ...

Genesis Hall
Richard Thompson solo acoustic



My father he rides in your ships
And I know he would never mean harm
But to see both sides of a quarrel
Is to judge without hate or love

Oh, oh, helpless and slow
And you don't have anywhere to go

You take away homes from the homeless
And leave them to die in the cold
The gypsy who begged for your presents
He will laugh in your face when you're old

Oh, oh, helpless and slow
And you don't have anywhere to go

Well, one man he drinks up his whiskey
Another he drinks up his wine
And they'll drink till their eyes are red with hate
For those of a different kind

Oh, oh, helpless and slow
And you don't have anywhere to go

When the rivers run thicker than trouble
I'll be there at your side in the flood
It was all I could do to keep myself
From taking revenge of blood

Oh, oh, helpless and slow
And you don't have anywhere to go

Where I'm At

Fightin' for My Life
Joe Ely



I'm ridin through the middle of some god forsaken town
Dark figures from the shadows, theyre tryin to cut me down
Some hero of the hour needs a rival of some kind
So dont talk to me right now, I've got survival on my mind

It might seem a little strange to you
But babe I got some things to do
Things for me that just cant wait
Dont let your love turn to hate
I got nothin in the world against you babe
But its gonna be a rough night out tonight
I got a feelin Im fightin for my life

Some street gang in the alley is tryin to tan my hide
I give aem all my money but theyre still not satisfied
Theyre callin out some names but it dont reflect on you
So dont bother me Im tryin to makeem see my point of view

It might seem a little strange to you
But babe I got some things to do
Things for me that just cant wait
Dont let your love turn to hate
I got nothin in the world against you babe
Its gonna be a rough night out tonight
I know the kung fu and Im fightin for my life

They say those silly phantoms are only in your mind
But I swear that even some of them get out from time to time
Some are rough and some are rowdy, some are fast to make the scene
But the ones that move so slow, theyre the ones that treat you mean

It might seem a little strange to you
But babe I got some things to do
Things for me that just cant wait
Dont let your love turn to hate
I got nothin in the world against you babe
Its gonna be a rough night out tonight
I better meditate you know Im fightin for my life

I used to read the Bible and Paradise Lost
now it looks like everybodys been gettin double-crossed
I dont mean to crash the cymbals, I dont mean to beat the drum
I dont wanna waste your time, you know Id rather save you some

It might seem a little strange to you
But babe I got some things to do
Things for me that just cant wait
Dont let your love turn to hate
I got nothin in the world against you babe
Its gonna be a rough night out tonight
I better meditate you know Im fightin for my life
My eyes are open, Im fightin for my life

Where I want to be
