TnJ 1071 (1/15/25)

-HOUR ONE-

Bobby Weir went home this week. He once said he was looking forward to death with anticipation and wonder, regarding it as reward for a life well lived. “Death is not the end,” he said, “it is the beginning.”
In lieu of reading the entirety of the Tibetan Book of the Dead to guide him on his way through the bardo, I opted instead for a two-hour psychedelic sonic soundscape honoring his l;eagcy on which for him to travel. Godspeed, Ace.
