This couldn’t be more serious. Having to get the truth and accurate news reporting out at the local and grass roots level.

Rachel Maddow looks at how wildly unpopular Donald Trump's attempt to flip America's foreign affairs alignment with an embrace of Russia and weird false accusations against Ukraine is, with Republican politicians caught in awkward disagreement and voters broadly not on board.

The Allman Brothers Band's Eat A Peach was released February 12, 1972. It is not only my favorite album, but one of the greatest triumphs in rock and roll history. That they managed to complete this masterpiece - with "Melissa," "Ain't Wastin Time No More" and "Les Brers in A Minor" - in the shadow of their founder and leader's death is a miracle.

Long before I knew any of that, when I was a kid, it was the album that hooked me on the band, whose music I loved from the radio, largely hearing "Ramblin' Man" 10 million times. My brother handed me the record and told me to listen to it, then let me sit on his yellow s**g carpet and play it on his stereo another 10 million times, oftentimes listening through headphones. I spent hours staring at the psychedelic gatefold painted by Flournoy Holmes and David Powell, drawn into its intricacy and promise of an alternate reality beyond my Pittsburgh haunts. I was too young to understand the mushroom underpinnings, but I got the gist.

Thanks to all who helped produce this masterpiece. I can't believe I get to play shows with Jaimoe, the last of them. Three coming up - 2/21, Fairfield, CT, 3/8, Philadelphia, 4/19, Englewood NJ. Info on all: www.friendsofthebrothersband.com

Two weeks ago we went back into the Church Studios in Tulsa for the first time in 17 years. It was a fantastic experience, and it brought many memories of the great times and recordings we made with Steve Ripley there. We recorded 6 songs with videos to accompany the release of our upcoming record we made at Ripley Farms studio in Pawnee. We'll be putting out the singles, one a month for 6 months, with a video. Then in September the entire album will be released. Many thanks to everyone who has helped get the project to this point. We hope you'll enjoy the results . Stay tuned, first single and video are slated for a March release!
