I think remphish posts daily (or least every other day)in the Live! Tonight! thread - one would think he would have gotten some flack from this forum or any other forum for his thoughts on any given show - esp. since he goes to a shit ton of them. To each their own - if you like a show, great - if you don't, great. Obviously some posters can be a be dick with their responses - at times it's the Wild, Wild West - so be that, too. I was always amused to see all the shows he goes to, especially now since I hardly get out anymore.

Maybe TP can leave us with a picture or something... The Live! Tonight! thread is going to take a hit.

Not to mentioned the sexual assaults in Europe by GI's --- but war is war --- there is no good war.

I think my softball team could sweep the Sox this year - ugh!

A nice, quaint town, too. The use to make a Belgium Red Ale that was fantastic - haven't seen it awhile, though. A couple of weeks ago I passed through WI on the way to MN and bought a bottle of New Glarus Serendipity - a bit like the Belgium Red, but not nearly as good. They use to distribute to the Chicago area in the late 90's - but I think they got a little over their skis with production and they pulled out. I take that back - see below - the distributor laws in Illinois has always been f'd up.

My favorite, too -- followed by Stone IPA

In 1989, a Stones' Start Me Up opener sounded perfect. Also, always enjoyed a Hell in a Bucket opener.

Chicago has become a brewery boom town over the last few years. I recently moved to Flossmoor, IL (south suburb) - we have our own Flossmoor Station Restaurant and Brewery. Really tasty brews and food. Also just over the border in Munster, IN - there is Three Floyds Brewery (the beer geek Mecca)

The bold seems a bit of heroism to me. Curious to know if you would call the police first, then head over to your neighbors or would head over there first, deal with it, then call police?

http://viachicago.org/topic/49021-jt-talks-backstage-at-bonaroo/ Not sure if you heard the above interview in the link - Tweedy mentioned that they didn't get a sound check (unlike Sir Paul). Perhaps he had doubts himself. I am guessing most bands don't get a sound check in a festival setting. I missed the Wilco webcast - the only webcast I saw was Gov't Mule - they sounded great.

Below is link to the Suntimes blog post regarding the Kickstarter Campaign http://voices.suntimes.com/arts-entertainment/the-daily-sizzle/muddy-waters-house-kickstarter-campaign-launched/ Video Oddly enough, I am listening to a Stones boot of their Chess Studio recordings as I post this.

For the time being at least - the latest Weir Here - missed it the first time around - nice Black Throated Wind opener - also nice to see Wasserman.

I was joking. Should have used a smiley face or something... I am planing to use her bean burger recipe for my Father's day lunch, this weekend.

Is the ban on Speed Racer so severe, that the Mod's won't even allow her image to appear? (I am sure it's up to Ms.Miller, guess I could be wrong)

Well done! - I would have hoped someone would have.

It was okay - definitely nothing to write home about this time around. LouieB, in another thread, brought up the word "boring", with regards to the last time he saw Son Volt --- I wouldn't call Friday's concert boring (though Dave Bryson, the drummer, looked incredibly bored and in a desperate need of a hug), but at times it left a lot to be desired - plenty of redundancy in the sound of the tunes ---- Jay sounded great, though and Spencer was both great on the keys and pedal steel.

I more curious about Standing O - that would have been fun to hear.

Ripthisjoint908, my choice after Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, would be the below. A good rockin fun.

Keith and MIck did help to pay for Hubert Sumlin's funeral and burial - so I guess there is some type of precedent. I wonder if anyone has reached out to the Stones?

Same here. Yay!

Since 89 (even back in 81), Jagger has invited guests or current acts to open up for them, who are/were popular at the time - unfortunately, the people who sell lots and lots of records these days - pretty much suck (Ga Ga , Swift, etc...). I agree with Suites - the ticket prices are what sucks, I can deal with a tune with Swift or Ga Ga - actually I thought Ga Ga was kinda fun to watch. I had family members who went to the Monday, Chicago show -- they said that the As Tears Go By with Swift wasn't "too" bad. I was kinda of impressed with the Stones fans - I didn't hear any boo's from the y

I recently listened to The Centrum shor from 1984-10-09. It sounded pretty good.

According to your link (I haven't been following this "Grand Theft" stuff), David Plouffe was the one who tweeted the "Grand Theft" bit, not Carney - Plouffe was backing Jay up. I do have great respect for Plouffe - but you are right here - Plouffe should have taken the high road.

His briefings are pretty brutal - not sure why he is still around. Gibbs was great during the briefings (sure he was pompous as hell, but that was good), Carney seems lost a lot of times. Behind the scenes, Carney probably gets along with the press, more so than Gibbs, since he is a former reporter - but I think he should head back to the newsroom. The Press Secretary gig is definitely is a tough one, though.
