For what it worth, out of the 24 or so people I know who had their 2nd shot - 2 had issues - nothing major, just felt like crap. Out of those two, one had Pfizer and the other Moderna. My 2nd shot is on this Tuesday -- which happens to be 4-20 --- afterwards I am going to have a smoke and relax. Will wait for the end of the month to finally have beer at my local pub.

Man - that's an interesting looking guitar.

We are finally getting out of Dodge tomorrow thru the rest of the week -- rented a cabin on a lake in Southern Illinois. Plan to hike and fish with the family. Low key in insolation, as much as possible. We also will get to visit some family who are fully vaccinated. I am looking forward to the drive.

Chicago never shut down either --- that being said my wife misses her train ride to and from her office everyday. She made an appointment to get in her office for a couple of hours this Monday (for the 2nd time since last March) -- she decided to take the train this go around and is looking forward to it.

My second shot is around the same time ---- was just going to write the same thing --- probably will wait until June or so to go to a White Sox game, after there is a more of a vaccine roll out. (besides, it probably will take me that long to get over being mad at Eloy for such a dumb injury, too). Looking forward to hitting a jazz show, too --- that's one good thing about the type of jazz shows I go to -- never have to worry about huge crowds..

Shot one, down.

Was able to finally book my appointments -- 1st shot this Tuesday and 2nd shot schedule later in April. Extremely happy.

Maybe Elliot is sticking out for you because he is the only American actor (among the main cast, at least) on the show. I think he meshes well with the rest of the cast, though. Esp. when he is in scenes with just Stevie and Johnny Rose. His character is very one dimensional, though. The Bob Curie character always cracks me up, too --- his whole demeanor.

Yeah - the pilot turned my wife off -- I stuck with it and think it is a great, great show. I have been a fan of Chris Elliot since he first started to appear on Letterman. His character is great, as well as the rest. Definitely will bring back my wife into the fold and re-watch at some point. I think I am on Season 4.

Over the weekend, the wife and I watched Something Wild - thanks for the recommendation, folks. Definitely a fun flick. Really enjoyed the dance scene with Daniels and "Fame". Like stated, the whole soundtrack was great.

I always grow carrots, but stink at the thinning, also.

I think seeing Mick Fleetwood in my dream may have woke me up in fear ---- thinking that a giant was going to off everyone on the stage.... I re-listened to this show on 2/11/21

Seriously, though - Don't Care is a great, catchy tune - never heard of Klark Kent, before.

Don't Care

Klark Kent is a pretty clever title - I like it. The name Foo Fighters - not so much -- unless I am missing something... (didn't know that Copeland came up with the name) Guess Clapton started this with Derek and the Dominoes.

I was watching a Return to Forever clip on YouTube, which brought me to the below quote from Lenny White. It seems crazy to me that a band like Chicago is not in the hall, when someone like Madonna is. Not saying that Madonna doesn't belong, but when I listen to her I am not thinking this is some great rock and roll, same goes for when I listen to rap artists that are in the hall - again I am fine with rap artists being in the hall, too. It would be kinda cool if a band like Lifetime, Return to Forever, Mahavishnu Orchestra, or Herbie Hancock and his various bands get a nod

It would be funny if Courtney Love introduced the Foo Fighters.

With Chick Corea's passing - I wonder people's thought on jazz fusion bands and the R&R hall. As far as musicians in the hall that played jazz - Miles Davis is in, but I think that's it. Herbie Hancock had some crossover appeal. That being said, does Miles even belong? Rock and roll definitely influenced Miles, but I think he influenced rock and roll, too. I think he should be in the hall.

As a solid Gen Xer - I thought the place was cool. Then, again I went because they had a Grateful Dead exhibit going on - so my mindset may be more boomer-ish.

Agree about the Go-Go's. From a personal stand point, it would be cool for the southside of Chicago, if Chaka Khan got in. I lived a couple blocks from Chaka Khan Way, a street name honor Chicago bestowed her about 10 years ago.

Can this yearly topic put a spark into the VC board????? FIRST off - there is NO WAY the Foo Fighters ---- ah! I got nothin'. I would have figured TIna Turner would have already been in the hall --- perhaps she already is, paired up with Ike. Of course Iron Maiden belongs.

Speaking of tomatoes and wolves -- my lab loves tomatoes --- can't leave them on the counter top over night, because he will snatch them -- also eats them off the vine out of our garden if we don't keep an eye of him. Perhaps my dog has wolf in is blood. Maybe, Tweedy grew up with a tomato-eating dog like mine. Regarding food and Wilco - once the wife and I and dinner prior to a Wilco's show at the Chicago's Civic Opera House - the restaurant was a half a block away. My wife - who was about 8 months pregnant ordered a steak ---- since she was pregnant, so she ordered i

Waiting on the latest Dave's Pick - should be here by this Sat. Dave is an easy mark, for sure.

Yeah - Ms. Gorman was something. Left the office to get home to watch with the family. Glad I did. Definitely a different feel - due to Covid - but the flags did look cool on the mall. Even all the tunes - by J-Lo / Ga-Ga / Brooks - were pretty great. Was amused watching Brooks give all the ex-presidents and their wives a hug. He seemed really happy to be there. Looking forward to the next 4 years. Hopefully this unity will occur --- with an actual leader on top --- perhaps it can. At least enough to get us out off this Covid mess.

I never heard of it before. They have a 7 day free trial - probably will go that route, if I decide to catch the show. Looks like it's a monthly subscription type site.
