Ten years ago, I wasn't even a step-grandma, let alone a real-live grandmagrandma. But I was only one year away from meeting you weirdos.

I had a poignant story about my mom, but then i deleted it. She's still alive, and still doesn't like me much. Mother's Day is coming up soon, and I owe her a card.

Here's to all the mothers who need a hug.

I need a hug, but dammit, what I really would like is a chocolate cake. You know what sucks about being the mom? No one ever makes you a birthday cake. Or any kinhd of cake, damnitQ

and you even have to buy your own champagne, damnit.

Me too.

I got to know Levon a bit, on a casual basis, through Ronnie Hawkins. One of the nicest people I ever met in the music biz.

I hope his journey on will be a peaceful one.

I'm kicking myself for never going to one of those Midnight Rambles. Fuck.

If you've never seen The Last Waltz you need to.

The Hawks (Ronnie Hawkins' backing band)

This photo is supposed to be from 1959, but I believe(?) it's actually from 1960.

(L-R) Levon Helm, Will 'Pop' Jones, Rebel Payne and a VERY young Robbie Robertson.

Ha! Imagine if they would have been the Honkeys. George Jefferson would have hated them.
