Edit: Cops were pretty fat and mean.
At the Zep concert they laughed while people crushed each other waiting for festival seating inside. I hear they use acab now. This was just before The Who concert when people were killed. Then they woke the fuck up.

Buck Dharma was a badass.
He could play new notes as he went along and it was heaven.

@Ksmile14 Lol, you'd be surprised. I'm blocked by a lot of people in here. I didn't know Nikki blocked me though. She and I used to talk some. I must've said something she didn't like?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ksmile14 · F

@sarabee1995 You're one of the nicest people ever. I can't imagine blocking you.

sarabee1995 · 31-35, F

@Ksmile14 Thanks Kara. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I don't begrudge her that right. I'm not everyone's cup o' tea.

I don’t miss the insecurity. I see youngsters complaining about feeling “old” at age 25 and 30–and I have to chuckle.
