I read Callait's Rumours book a while ago --- I thought it was ok - he had some great in-studio content. His book about Tusk (Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album) - really fits the 'glorifying his excesses and sexual conquests'. If you thought his Rumours book was bad - definitely skip the Tusk book.

Bah - us heads have been dealing with shorts and kilts (not to mention - pink guitars and fake snakes) for many decades. At a Halloween 2015 show, JRAD poked fun of Weir's 80's attire: (sorry for the digression - back Wilco)

Hoping to catch Sinners this weekend. Though the 5 yards of mulch just delivered may put it off. Just read that Buddy Guy has a role - the NY Times has a great piece with Buddy, regarding Sinners.

Not yet --- Middle of season 2. Really great -- but man it is tough to follow at times. Just keeping all the characters straight and such. Really, really cool show.

Last night we finished up Adolescence on Netflix -- e-gads. A great four episodes. I watched the show with my 15 year old son -- it was his idea to watch it. After the first episode, I told him please don't murder anyone --- I guess I assumed it was already understood, but I just want to make it clear. I have never been on any social media (other than this board and another board, I guess) -- so it is somewhat foreign to me. Honestly, I just don't get the point of it. The show definitely brought out good conversations with him, myself, and his mother

Why does Winnipeg get hate from the rest of Canada - sorry - just curious. (living in Chicago we tend to get a lot of hate from parts of the USA) We vacationed for a week in the Tobermory, Ontario, Canada in 2019 and enjoyed it. We happened to be there during the Civic Holiday weekend - which we didn't know going in - made for a crowded beach one day, but it was a hoot.

Bob Dylan in West Lafayette, Indiana. (Tomorrow night in Fort Wayne, Indiana). It will be the first time for my kid seeing Dylan - should be interesting.

Last night, we started watching Dark on Netflix --- I think we are pretty much hooked after the first two episodes. Definitely has a Stranger Things feel -- but much 'darker'.

I caught an Outlaw show when it passed through Tinley Park last summer. Decent show. I was on the lawn, so the sound was pretty crappy. Was one of the more interesting setlist that I saw him play. It was nice seeing Jim Keltner play drums. Stella Blue was a treat. I also think the Rough and Rowdy Ways tunes work real well in a live setting, also.

Wow - the thread has been dead since 21 ---- will be catching two shows in April in Indiana --- the A Complete Unknown movie really put the Dylan bug in my kid and he will be my traveling companion for the shows. Normally, the whole family comes along with me on my Dylan excursions and they do their own thing, while I go to the shows --- it's gonna be nice having him at the shows.

I don't really blame the Outlaw gang - but surprised that they are not swinging through Tinley Park again ---- when I saw Wilco was going to be part of it, I was hoping for a Tinley date. It sold really well last summer in Tinley.

Saw A Complete Unknown with my kid this morning. I thought it was great.

Watched Withnail and I last week. A great, funny film. Nice to see George Harrison's name during the opening credits. (he was a producer). Just saw in Wiki how the actual book ended --- kinda agree with the director -- that would have been a too dark of a ending. The two main characters were great - as well as the surrounding ones. Loved how England looked in the film -- both London life and country life. Also enjoy Ralph Steadman's artwork.

Voted when the polls opened at 6 am, today -- even had a line, which was nice to see. Heading straight to the pub after work and then will be glued to the TV/news websites for the next 7 days or so...

Thanks----- Phil set was pretty great. The festival itself was mess - sound bleeding, credit card issues. Storms passing through and canceling many acts (though they can't be blamed for that). Just disorganized. Which is why it was a one and done fest.
