UFW remembers Kris Kristofferson: “Cesar Chavez went backstage in the 1970s to thank Kris when he headlined fundraising concerts for the United Farm Workers. They maintained a lifelong friendship. For the rest of his life, Kris wore around his neck a pendant w/the UFW black eagle symbol.”
Infinite Jest. I know. 🤷🏻♂️ As I started reading, I went to work on an project where there was absolutely nothing to do outside work. Those who had been there before started drinking at 5 and went till...every day. And I'm reading this book about alcoholics. Definitely intensified the experience.

The live album "Mad for Sadness" is a great place to start
