I see no point in picking MVPs or Cy Youngs before the season starts, so I won't.

Only Republicans voted "yes." Anyone surprised?

I'd love to see a Congressional Inquiry into 1. ticket prices
Good luck with that. It's called "the free market," and not only is such pricing perfectly acceptable and legal in this economy, it's actively encouraged under the free market system. The law of supply and demand, yadda yadda yadda.

But WTA is 11 songs and it's only five minutes longer than TKOL. Eight song tracklist isn't a bad thing at all. I don't really like TKOL, but it's certainly not because it's "only" eight songs.
OK, I'm having trouble clearing the cobwebs this morning and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders, but ... TKOL?
edit: Oh, that Radiohead thing. Meh.

It is a good song. Back then, however, I worked in an office that had Top 40 radio on all the time, and that song dominated the airwaves for what seemed like a whole year (or more) ... so I'm still a little burnt out on it.

Maybe the best cover ever:

(And it works as an "incongrous" one, too. Sly doing Doris Day?!?!)
Absolutely. Wish I'd thought of this one for the incongruous thread.

The Stones covered by The Faces (featuring a future Stone):
Stewart's voice is well suited to this one.

Neil's opener will be Bert Jansch!

Also, the wealthy are the one's who create jobs. Let them keep more of their own money = more jobs.
This is an overly simplistic summation of the way things might work if the wealthy actually put their money into creating more jobs. But mostly they don't -- they "keep more of their own money." As in, they don't spend it.
Money flows uphill from the poor to the rich, and when it gets to the top of the hill it stops. The consumer spending that drives the economy comes from the middle class, but the middle class is shrinking rapidly as the jobs go away, and the wealthy are not doing much to stem that tide.
The income disparity in this country isn't just stunning, it's profane. And it's gathering steam, as more and more wealth is concentrated in fewer and fewer hands.
There is one dynamic that the super-wealthy can't control, however -- the fact that they're vastly outnumbered. Placating the masses with Fox News propaganda and shitty TV shows can't work forever, and when the lower classes have finally eaten all the shit they can eat, there will be revolution, and there will be redistribution of all that wealth.
I used to hope that I would live out my life before we get to that point, but now I really can't wait to see it.

On Wednesday I scored fourth row orchestra pit for Detroit (thanks to a certain VCer who tipped me off to a presale).
Wasn't even sure I was going to buy tickets, but when I saw the seats I could get, I took the plunge.

Now I wish he'd signed with the Yankees.

I was only skimming, but did I just see multiple pages of bickering about cleaning up the capitol?
Please tell me that was just my imagination.

I absolutely agree with this and I really don't have much interest in reading this book. I have to say though, blame it on drugs or whatever (there had to be more than alcohol going on there) but Eddie has come across as a real douche as well over the years. I wonder if Wolfie will be writing a book in 10 years or so.
Eddie and Dave have always seemed like douches, but neither can hold a candle to Sammy, in my opinion.
I'm just happy that I got to see DLR fronting VH, even if it was 25 years too late.

Up on the Sun is essential; better than Meat Puppets II, IMO. (Although II is considered their masterwork.)
Don't forget Huevos and Mirage.

I'm glad to be seeing The Pogues tonight, as it appears that this will be their last U.S. tour.
Saw them last night. Shane made it through OK, and it was a great show.

I don't think this one's been posted yet, but it's getting a little difficult to scroll back through the thread and confirm.

As great as that version is (and I love Calexico), I'll take the original...

Marshall Crenshaw

Huge fan. He's put out consistently listenable records for almost thirty years. He's great live, too.
His debut is one of my all-time favorite records. Not a bad track on it. Not even a middling track. Everything's great.
Would love to have seen him playing Lennon in Beatlemania. Maybe there's film.
