    One of my all-time favorite movies. Best line in the movie...”still got the shovel”. If you watched it, you know.

    Remember the old rock group from the 60's and 70's "The Band"? Levon Helm was in The Band...

    Just a little movie trivia...

    Been hearing it on classic rock stations for years but never got any other details than "and now, 'the band.'"

    Some stuff. Not a lot, just some.
    Putting this out there

    https://www.foxnews.com/us/purple-h...odwill-in-arizona-prompting-search-for-family

    Of the items that end up being donated to Goodwill, one particular find in a box at a store in southern Arizona has sparked a nationwide search.

    Officials at Goodwill of Southern Arizona said Monday they are looking for the family of a Purple Heart recipient after a medal was donated to a store in Tucson last month.

    “People give away amazing stuff," employee Talon Mills told KOLD News 13. "It just blows my mind what people give away.”

    RILEY HOWELL, 'HERO' UNCC STUDENT WHO DIED AFTER TACKLING GUNMAN, EARNS PURPLE HEART, BRONZE STAR

    The Purple Heart was found in a box of housewares at the Goodwill location on Houghton and Golf Links Road, located on the eastern part of Tucson.

    In photos posted by Goodwill, the back of the medal has the carving with the name "Nick D'Amelio, Jr." under the words "For Military Merit."

    Mills said it was discovered in a faded box and prompted more questions.

    “Did the recipient of the medal give it away?," he told KOLD. "Did their family, not knowing it was in the box?”

    According to military records, D'Amelio was originally from California and a seaman second class who served in the U.S. Navy during World War II.

    He was listed as missing in action when the U.S.S. Little sank off the Solomon Islands on Sept. 5, 1942.

    It's a work in progress. See my build thread.
    A common misconception. It was much later in The Band's career that they teamed up with Dylan, and it was part of Dylan attempting to break out of the "folk" genre. In fact, according to Robbie Robertson's autobiography, Dylan was routinely booed when The Band started playing with Dylan. They actually got their start (most of them anyway) in Ronnie Hawkins' band Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks.

    Robertson's book was GREAT. Even explained how they became known as simply "The Band".

    At least three people were injured after reports of a stabbing in downtown Seattle on Tuesday by an apparent naked assailant.

    The Seattle Police Department said the incident was first reported around 10 a.m. on 6th Avenue and Olive Way, located near the headquarters of Nordstrom.

    Police Tweeted two people were transported to Harborview Medical Center. One of the victims was a 75-year-old man who was listed in stable condition.

    Further details about the second victim were not immediately available. A third person was treated at the scene and declined transport, police said.
