So, I'm an engineer and work on a lot of large public works projects to protect against flooding. A lot of my projects require dredging. I've been in this position for almost 5 years and still regularly get called out by Word every time I type "dredg" into a document.
I don't have the time it takes to recover from the day
I sit and moan and mope and groan and never have my say
A crown of thorns from which is born a little baby bird
To fly away and have its day is nothing but absurd
dredg is the music I always searched for, the music that keeps in your mind the whole time, the music you remember when you're doing everything, it's the different music. the heart music
The film takes pity on not only the women at Woodstock '99, but women of that era in general. As a woman of that era, I have to say outright: we didn't think we were much different than men. We wanted sex, we wanted drugs, we wanted rock and roll, and we figured it was our right to have them.
For the commenters all these years later, whiteness was also the problem at the 1999 festival. The documentary takes specific aim at young white men. That demographic that everyone loves to hate was actually not so hateful back in the 1990s.
What the documentary forgets is that the kids of the '90s were essentially colorblind. They didn’t think there was a difference between white and black kids, and it would be more than a decade before they realized that believing in equality was racist.
My people. It's so good to see this place back. It doesn't look like it used to but damn if it isn't all here. And damn if there aren't new posts. I found dredg when I was 16. Naive and home-schooled this place introduced me to music that I would love until this very year when I turned 31. Holy shit I miss this place and you people. In many ways I felt like I sat on the outside. I tried so hard to get myself to those full album shows the band played. I wanted to make a dredg fan meetup. I've been through Cali several times at this point and back in, I think, 2012 I was fortunate enough to see dredg and Fair to Midland play on the same bill. How the hell have you all been? If anyone from the old days sees this I'm not very active on FB. I don't really have any social media to speak of. But I want to connect. I want to hear how people are doing. What have you been up to? Where has your love of music taken you? Please PM me some details. If you're a recognized name I will happily link up on discord. I sincerely hope that everyone is alive and well. My life has been such a mix of ups and downs. Lessons learned, songs written, and all the other messes. Peace be with you. So happy to be back on Traversingboard and posting to this endless thread of wonderful nonsense!
