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.

Jeff Tweedy Live Stream from Constellation, Chicago - Jan. 23rd, 2021 - 8am https://www.constellation-chicago.com/calendar/jeff-tweedy

Currently reading Christopher Knowlton's Cattle Kingdom. A great, well-written read.

I remember when I got Dale's rookie card in the early 80s. It's still sits in a hard plastic case. One of my all time favorite players, too --- it helped that the Braves were on TBS, so I was able to catch a lot of their games on cable from Chicago. Need to check out the podcast.

As a recent Nugs' subscriber, I now cannot condone the use of any sharing of any Wilco torrents/live concerts ---- it was part of the contract that I had to sign with my kid's blood.... Just kidding -- I understand why they forward people to the nugs site, but I don't agree. Thanks for helping to keep the archive running and Happy New Year.

Is the snow a new thing this year? Threw me for a loop this morning - like it.
