Never thought I ever be in IRDB's corner, but regarding the 1981 Rockpalast show - kinda endless vamping that never goes anywhere when Pete was on stage - I haven't watched in quite sometime, though - perhaps another viewing is order.

I saw REM/Wilco show in 2003 - it was in September, so we figured it would get chilly at night , but we didn't quite expect mid 40's, though - luckily we were pretty prepared. Saw lots and lots of people with flasks... Great place to see a show. We drove up to the venue the day before the show to check it out, the venue was wide open to the public - people were using the venue stairs to exercise as I was to doing my best Bono impersonation on the stage.

Like I probably already stated - I only caught them, starting in 89, when the passed through the Chicago area - during the 2nd night of the 94 show, I couldn't wait for the 2nd set to end. I told myself after the show, I would take a break. The last minute I decided to go to the 95 run - glad I did, in hindsight.

You gotta watch out for the trombones when in the pit - so who knows, perhaps he did wear one.

I guess lots and lots of people who played with Miles Davis; I suppose most notably - Coltrane.

That's my favorite - LA Woman is close behind. I haven't listened to either in ages.

Who's the person? In grade and high school, I use to listen to the Doors a ton - not so much anymore. Didn't realize he had cancer.

Indeed! It's very frustrating.

As far as political discussion goes, my favorite segment is Brooks and Shields on Friday's PBS's NewsHour.

It was a lot of fun - I around 10-13 when i was going to that track. I knew a guy who was the head mechanic of a driver who always drove there, so I was always able to go to the pits after the race, which was always cool (of course, perhaps they let anyone in there, I don't know.), especially when the ARTGO Series was passing through. I'm pretty sure I have a couple of pictures with Trickle. Also, it was pretty much a drunk fest after the races in the pits...

That's kinda cool - above.

Someone up'd the Dylan/Dead rehearsal on dime, I misplaced mine a long while ago - The Ballad of Ira Hayes is great (sure sloppy, but great none the less) About 20 seconds into the song: Dylan "Like church, this is like church" ---- Jerry (maybe) "church? ..... organ". And after a measure or two the organ enters. Perfect. Great direction by Dylan.

In the early to mid 80's, I use to watch him race at the Illiana Speedway in Schererville, IN; before he hit the NASCAR circuit.

At the the http://dozin.com/jers/guitar/history.htm site it states: "March and April (1971) Jer switches to a custom built guitar. Said to be a Alembic project" It looks like it is a Guild or Gibson, though.

Believe it's an SG - don't think I ever seen play one before.

Well at least in 1965.

Had a Pink Lady this morning -"pretty neat, pretty neat; pretty good, pretty good; alright"

In theory, these hearings are the only way for the public to find out what happened in an event - it usually turns into a political circus, which is unfortunate. As a citizen, I want to know what happen. I suppose one can take the word of the State Department, the Defense Department, the Executive Branch, etc...but I believe as being part a democracy, I want my Representative to ask some questions when somebody or some Department f's up. If in these hearing, it's determine no mistakes are made - great - if some mistakes were made, learn from them and don't make them again.

If Hawk Harrelson was calling that game, he would have had a heart attack from yelling so much - Wow that was a bad call...

I think one has to learn from mistakes made. Of course it will not bring anybody back, but it may prevent other tragedies like it. Public hearings to figure out what went down is the only way the public is going to find out anything. If some feet have to raked over the coals, so be it. I am a Democrat, but if I was at the table asking question, I would want to know everything. And of course the GOP is using the event to score points - that's what they are very good at - shaping the narrative - something I wish the Democrats were better at. And from the very beginning, the Obama administ

Definitely need to find out what happen in Bengazi. The procedure could be done without so much grandstanding - but all the facts should and need to come out. At times, it does appear this is being done less for the relatives involved, but for politically reasons - but that's the name of the game and facts are facts.

The Stones played No Expectations for the first time on this tour on the 8th in San Jose. Would have been cool to hear Rutili play it.

Funny how?

Sorry, sorry - fruit wise - though I'd take a good Minneola over a lobster or another viewing of Godfather any day - With the sex bit, guess it depends on with who and when...(Kush is a whole other thing)

Wait - Pink Lady boobs or apples? Nothing better than a really good Minneola orange.
