    Anyone see Chris Simon's cheap shot last night? Unbelievable!! He's gotta get like a 30 day suspension at least!

     

    It would be really hard for the Pens to not take the KC deal. I hope they stay in Pittsburgh though. They have a solid fan base there, attendance near the top of the league, and strong tv ratings. If they do take the deal, it would be just like the Browns leaving Cleveland for Baltimore.

     

    KC and Portland are deserving of teams. Hopefully some of the teams struggling with fan support will consider moving...

    I haven't heard Righteously in some time, but I remember really enjoying her phrasing on it.

     

    This kind of reminds me of defending Bob back in 90 for writing Wiggle Wiggle. What's Bob doing writing a song of complete nonsense...blah blah blah. It was actually one of the better songs live during the next 1 1/2 years. It always got the place jumping!

     

    West reminds me a little of Time Out Of Mind...Lu went in a different direction like Bob did. I could see the line 'if the flesh falls off my face, I know someone will be there to care' somewhere on this disc.

     

    I can't wait to see her again...

    totally excited for this. that box looks great.

    although the Neuwirth and Pennebaker commentary isn't new. that was also on the original.

     

    I think they have commentary on the new material as well...

    I LOVE Portland!!! I went out there in October for Bob and had a great time. The best beers in the world. My favorite being BridgePort IPA. I went back out in November for Lee "Scratch" Perry at the Crystal Ballroom. That place was incredible! I spent most of my time around the Hawthorne District. Can't wait to go back! Maybe for Neko and Merle next month! :dancing

    Interesting though.....REM did help Patti come back into prominence by letting her sing on "E-Bow the Letter".

     

    I think all four of Patti's most recent albums have something to recommend them.

    I LOVE Patti Smith!!! I first saw her open for Bob at the Electric Factory in Philly in 1995. She was so amazing, so passionate. I saw her again in 04 on the Trampin tour. Go see her live if you have the chance. She's so inspiring I'm sure you'll end up wanting to join her revolution!

    I disagree. I think the original versions of the songs have the perfect timing to emotionally charge his great story telling ability. When you hear the songs with the timing that badly off, but the music is still there the emotional attachment of the lyrics just isn't there for me. This is obviously my opinion, but the song lose most of the meaning for me. Masters of War is such a strong statement, but last night I didn't feel the urgency in the music. My $0.02, but I will be listing to the albums again today so I can feel the power of the lyrics once again.

     

    I was there Saturday night...stayed home Friday to watch the Cardinals win the World Series. Some of his songs are delivered differently from when they were recorded. You can't expect him to feel the exact same level of energy and emotion he had when he recorded something every time he plays it. A song like 4th Street is now sung with a hint of regret. I find that refreshing. It challenges everyone in the band, his long time fans, and Bob himself. I saw Masters of War in Portland a few weeks ago and enjoyed it very much. A song like that with such amazing lyrics and relevance, much like Hattie Carroll or Holllis Brown, is more engaging to me when the band plays a subtle background role.

    I just got back from the Portland show and it was one of the best shows I've seen Bob give in a long time. This band is now on fire...it took a little while for that to happen...maybe the experience of being in the studio and being part of the birth of a masterpiece helped. My first visit to Oregon and I have to say it may be my favorite place in the states (love Louisiana and So Cal too). The crowd was so into the show that it really enhanced it. Everyone I met there, both at the show and throughout the 5 days, were cool, friendly and funny.

     

    Chicago may be a different story. The crowd at my last Bob show there, Schaumburg 05, was really lame. It seems to be hit or miss. I'll make the Saturday show for sure, but I'm not really looking forward to it. A show in the suburbs, the thugs known as S3 Security, a new probably sterile venue. If I had the choice, I would go to Madison instead. That would def. be a much better time!

    Sleepy John Estes in "Someday Baby"

     

    I am glad someone posted this because I have been wracking my brain for weeks trying to remember who did this originally.

     

    This obscure poet may have botten pinched for some lyrics, but clearly there are more references per square inch to other people's work than ever. None the less, this is an album that gets better with each listen.

    I don't think Sleepy John wrote this song. I pulled a couple cd's and an lp with Sleepy doing this song and he does not take credit for it. Some of the other songs had Sleepy as the author or trad. arranged by Sleepy, but neither was noted on this song each time. Bob def. borrows from Sleepy's version though.

     

    Bob's mind is like the whole world's public library. I seriously doubt he had Timrod's work in front of him. He may have had those words in his head for 45 years and it just so happened that recalled them this year.
