Can't remember if Parrish was willed the guitar or not -- did see it while it was at the Hall of Fame.

Your children's taste in music

My four year old wanted to listen to Iron Maiden this morning - which irks the hell out of his mother, but so it goes.... -
"Everybody take a step back, and another..." (though Heartbreak probably hates the below version -- -- kidding, kidding of course) To each his own, I always say. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9msLwh-wp4

XM is currently playing 6/2/95 - enjoying the spry Good Morning Little School Girl.

Amazingly - I only heard Greyfolded for the first time a few months ago - got it from the library - it is very interesting and a cool listen. Need to check it out again or buy it.

So how was Justin?

I wouldn't be subscribing if I was shelling out the dough - but it's kinda of cool to get a disc every 3 months or so in the mail, as a gift. Typically I buy every third release or so, if I think it should be a decent one - but I down load a shit load more. If I have a decent download prior to a release, I usually forgo a purchase - this is a reason I haven't bought the May 77 box set release or the Warlock set -- these are the only two box sets that they released that I don't have.

The writer who wrote up the review in the Taper's Compendium thought maybe Brent's microphone was left on by mistake, though one would have thought they would have turned the mike off once they noticed it --- the "whoo-ing" lasts for the entire solo.

Bah! - I guess you need to drink better coffee

Hopefully, they will put the San Francisco release on cd, too.

Sister-in-law is up visiting - mentioned that she and her brother bought me the 2014 subscription for Christmas - they bought me this year's, also --- a gift that keeps on giving. Only listened to Set 1 of this latest one , twice --- the sound is great. Playing is good, too. Feel Like A Stranger has always been one of my favorite openers.
-
Never listened to this show --- gotta be Brent, right? - sounds pretty neat.
-
or she is sweet on JT - I guess he does has some moves.

Yeah, Anderson's was nice. Patti Smith had a nice one too, in the New Yorker. http://www.newyorker.com/talk/2013/11/11/131111ta_talk_smith

I listened to Yankee Hotel Foxtrot twice today - can't remember the last time I listened to it all the way through.

Spencer Tweedy is the Jaden Smith of dad-rock

How was the show? Saw that there was tickets still available for tonight, but wussed out. ( I was surprised that tickets were still available on Friday for Sat's show)

The Big Red One was one of my favorites growing up. Count me as one (in the 70's) playing war with sticks or whatever else we could find for guns. Once I used the arm/extension of weed eater -- it had a trigger and a shaft for a barrel - I was the coolest for a while in my court.
-
Yeah - horrible - with Beltran at the plate, too.
-
Only saw him once, at the Chicago Theater in 2000, while he was supporting Ecstasy. Great, great, powerful show.
-
Bet you will get a Rock and Roll.

That sucks --- lived a hell of a life.

I agree, plus I fell asleep, too, in the 8th. There's four more games to be played - play on.

Bands with critical acclaim/respect that don't deserve it.

I would say Dylan is one you couldn't argue with, as with the Beatles, (Yellow Submarine always puts me on edge) - I would of course would have to say the Stones too ---- the Stones have a lot of holes, sure, but one can't argue (too much) with their success and longevity, from a rock and roll band perspective. Dylan has a few bum records, too, and his recent performances are nothing too, too special, but again he is still out there producing new music and performing. -
My kid loves dried kale -- stinks to the high heavens, though, when I open up the sealed container.
