RIP Levon. A Good guy.

Interesting that Robbie Robertson visited him on his deathbed. Would've been interesting to be a fly on the wall for that one.

Dear Savage, they have lied to you: my siblings and I prepare the dinner, cake, champagne, sauternes, candles etc... each and every year for my mom's birthday and for mother's day.

I get Savage's treatment. No cake. No champagne (unless I buy it). I had to force my husband to take me out to breakfast last year for Mum's day. Bah humbug.

I've made my mum birthday cakes before. Never bought her champagne though

License to Ill was the only thing I ever had that my parents confiscated. I immediately went out and bought another copy of the tape. Yes, tape.

I dug out that old tape tonight, and am listening to it right now.
