Billy Bragg

Billy Bragg the great English singer songwriter performed at the Commodore Ballroom last weekend and was exactly what I expected , funny , political , and totally entertaining.

No one writes politically charged songs better than Billy, except for maybe Steve Earle . And his love songs ring so true that anyone can relate to them.Throw in a few rants between songs and you have a great night.

Amanitas

Very large , 5 - 6 in. across , very poisonous or very psychoactive depending on who you talk to. They are not rare but I haven't seen a lot of them till last week when I came across this field that was lined with Pine trees and these Amanitas seemed to be coming up everywhere beneath the trees.
