Some have — and died. Soldiers haven’t stopped gangland-style murders, now about seven daily right next door. And [...]

A while back a mutual old friend of Mark Shanahan and myself asked us to play a benefit gig for a friend of his. She, “Jacki” was a fellow member of a local group trying to promote the legalization of marijuana for medical use. Now I have to admit that this really wasn’t MY issue, but we gladly said yes to the gig. Before we started I was introduced to Jacki and she was then seated directly in front of me. While we were playing I would make eye contact with her and she seemed to really be enjoying the music. All through the night I watched her. I suspected she was having a tough time physically, but she had such warmth and radiated a certain kind of strength. She really made a strong impression on me.
