Piknik Gave The Concert...

 ... in memory of victims of Crocus-City atrocity... In Oktyabrsky Hall, only 3,700 spectators. Obviously packed. Today Piknik is the most important band in Russia. 

It is very important and appropriate what Edmund and his guys did... It is both in memoriam and an act of defiance. Especially today, when a direct financing by 404 of terrorists have been firmly established by Investigative Committee (in Russian). As Alastair Crooke correctly states today:

The Crocus Concert Hall Atrocity: No Going Back

So is cryptic statement by Sergei Lavrov today about May 21. As Larry went poetic yesterday:

As I watched the sudden and dramatic implosion of the bridge the though crossed my mind, “Is this a metaphor for what awaits the United States?” 

Recall Piknik's suddenly sounding incredibly poignant songs--Don't cry the executioner, don't dull your axe...  No Going Back, indeed...

In Memoriam...

Remember my grim foreboding last year? I got used to him and his cosmic music so much around me that I thought that the sound of his music was proof of him still being around--I was wrong. I mentioned him yesterday and decided to check on his life and I was floored... He was gone.....

I always called him a Singer Of A Spaces of Light. Those spaces still remain and they will--it is a testament to a true genius... 

He blew everyone off stage. He was, no, he IS an Alien...and a God-sent. Allan, I'll remember you forever, I almost wrote a questionnaire for an interview with you and then...never sent it in after you graciously agreed to answer it. I was so-so close to true greatness. 

Here is Frank Gambale and Allan play one of the greatest standards in Jazz and while Frank initiates (in a famous album Truth In Shredding), what Allan does blows one away into a different universe.

                 6 August 1946 – 15 April 2017

As they say, better late than never......
