Not sure if it counts, but Sky Blue Sky was going through my head as I was walking in a parade today....

Just got done participating in my 1st 4th of July parade with the kid's - now, both zonked out while listening to 2/11/70 in our AC confines - it's a scorcher here in Chicago. http://archive.org/details/gd1970-02-11.sbd.smith.patched.99154.sbeok.flac16

Yeah - Yankee through the Album were all on Nonesuch - so why would Nonesuch say you can play songs off of any album, besides WTA. Plus, they have been playing songs off of the Album since The Whole Love has been released - just not on this present tour.

Contractual ---- that's pretty funny. I believe they are going to play the whole Album in Geneva....

That's what I figured.

Last year or so I read Moon's bio "Dear Boy" - depressing read. I haven't read Dougal's and I am not sure I want to.

I was kinda surprised to Roger drinking straight from the bottle - I am by far an Who expert, but I thought he was the only somewhat sane one in the group, not much of a drugger/drinker. Not that there is anything necessarily wrong with drinking whiskey from the bottle.... Rock and roll shouldn't be so stressful - but then again, perhaps stress induces great music, who knows. It was sad seeing Moon being dragged off, too.

Sure the hell was a bummer...

http://www.gdao.org The Grateful Dead Archive Online is up and going. I guess the UC Santa Cruz library opened up the Dead archive last week, also.

That scene with him and his guitars is great.

If I remember correctly, a main reason they were going out on tour was to get John some money - could be wrong about that, though. I think that was one of Pete's bitter comments, during the aftermath. I am guessing, if his wife was selling his Walkman, John did not leave much behind, as far as money goes. I bet the Pawn Star guy kept the Walkman for himself - I think he is a big Who fan, then again the old man probably made him sell it. Never gotten around to see the Who live.

Nice piece by Pete regarding the 10 year anniversary of Entwislte's death. Do remember Pete being pissed - perhaps rightly so.

We were a cool grade school For the 7th and 8th grade dances sometimes we had live bands play - they usually played for the whole school during a assembly during the day. anyway back to Rush....Haven't heard the new album, but man, nothing brings out the Audiophile's, like at new Rush record.

In the early/mid 80s, I remember bands played in our gym while I was in grade school. One time, a local guitar player, who was also guitar teacher at a guitar store was playing, my buddy who had him as a teacher, got to get up on stage and played Johnny B Goode with the band - I thought it was the coolest thing at the time.

That was a great show - enjoy watching the repeats on one of the ESPN channels. Are you embarrassed that you are watching the show or watching it on your Kindle?

He striking out a lot, still - but at least he's hitting the homers and has the RBI's - still a lot of room for improvement, though - but much better than 2011. They need to start winning the close games. I guess they are 5th with runs scored - pretty good, I guess - but again a lot room for the timely RBI.

Well, they are good enough for the Central.

Lillibridge made a hell of catch yesterday - but he is having horrible year hitting. Good trade for the White Sox - they are back in first, too.

With this immigration policy I don't think President Obama is changing his stance (or pandering) on immigration. Is he bringing it up now to get votes - sure - it's his job to get as many votes he can get so he can elected - it's the game of democracy. But if the President hasn't changed his view on immigration with this action - how is it pandering? I do support Obama's action - wish the President's administration and Congress would get off their hands and actually do more...

Okay - got it, now (little slow this morning) - I thought of that after I posted my last comment.

Well, I don't get it, A-Man.....but I do enjoy his videos, too.

Is the above from the Yoda video?

It's looks like it may be already sold out. Hopefully it just a computer glitch - but who knows. It would have been great to see them at the Auditorium. I had the 21st show but not the 22nd, until I grabbed it last night off of etree. http://www.dead.net/...-picks-volume-3

nalafej - did he draw a good crowd?

Did you make it to the show last night? I didn't make it up there.
