captain_philGovernment Mule Offers Insurance to band and crew members. Gotta take care of Farmer! Noone else can do what he does (although his wife was certainly doing an incredible job of keeping up at the Christmas Jam last year).
The Allman Brothers Postpone the Wanee and Beacon Update The Allman Brothers Band announced today that they are postponing their annual run of 15 shows at New York City’s Beacon Theatre set for May 5-24, with rescheduled dates TBA. In addition, they have also cancelled their upcoming performances at the Wanee Festival that they host every year in Florida (set for April 11-12, Wanee will continue as planned despite the fact that the Allman Brothers Band will not be appearing). For the past six months, founding member Gregg Allman has been receiving scheduled treatments for Hepatitis C, a virus that, with these treatments, has become curable in recent years. The treatments so far have been successful and the virus has been eradicated from his system.
However, the recovery time from the side effects of the treatment are taking longer than originally projected. Since the Allman Brothers Band are known for exhilarating and exhausting concert performances they don’t want to give fans anything less than they have come to expect; so the band members made a group decision to delay the first round of dates. “I’m getting better but I’m still tired,” says Gregg. “I need to be at 110% to do the shows the way we do them. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the support and understanding my Brothers and our fans have given me.”
WVU lost to Xavier last night, after coming back from a deficit. I don't really know enough about basketball to follow it, but they did better than they have in the past.
There was something on the news about people in Marmet, WV seeing a red light in the sky. The red light turned out to be the aircraft warning light on the top of a new 250 foot cell tower. 250 foot cell towers just pop up overnight ya know.
I guess it's a good sign that they don't have much else on the news other than mysterious lights in the sky. It means that no meth labs were found, and the annual springtime prostitution sting in Huntington hasn't happened yet.
Time to get my loins girded for a day of fun and adventure at work
