Adrienne and Earl

The almost-twin deaths of Adrienne Rich and Earl Scruggs have me wondering about the kinds of gigs you could see in heaven. (Note: I’m an atheist and probably don’t believe in heaven, but I do like the idea of some world after this one where time is irrelevant and you get to coexist with things/people that came before and after you. Who wouldn’t be comforted by that idea?)

So far, I’m starting with the idea that Miles Davis found Can and they did some jamming.



I like the image of Kurt Cobain asking Jerry Garcia for a performance of “Brokedown Palace” every night.


Hayden Carruth is off pestering Ben Webster.


See why this is great? It’s like fantasy sports, but with culture.
