Tedeschi Trucks Band - “Keep On Growing”

The algorithm gods deliver again. This is a cover from the forever-ridiculous Derek and the Dominos album Layla, and it’s just a masterclass from Derek Trucks on the slide. There are basically three different spots where he tears it up, steps back, lets it ride and then slams back down on the gas pedal. It’s nuts and I’ve watched it twice now and I believe I’ll keep watching it whenever I can.

So I guess this is where I tell you what I learned - my conclusion, right? Well, my conclusion is: Hate is baggage. Life’s too short to be pissed off all the time. It’s just not worth it. Derek says it’s always good to end a paper with a quote. He says someone else has already said it best. So if you can’t top it, steal from them and go out strong. So I picked a guy I thought you’d like. ‘We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.’
