Just came on the board to post this. Crazy, weird, and interesting dude.

Yep. Also I guess he sat in the first Dead's show in San Fran. in 2003 (according to otherones.net). Did Loose Lucy, then too. Not sure which version XM plays, but I guess it doesn't manner.

It's definitely the Dead, at least that what my XM screen reads, might be from 2003 show. I was mistaken regarding the Weir info. Hagar did a Celebrity Guest DJ spot on the channel, he talked a lot about hanging with Weir. Hagar and Garcia would of made an interesting pairing - yikes.

The Grateful Dead XM Station plays a Dead version of "Loose Lucy" with Sammy Hager sitting in, quite a bit. Never was a big fan of the song to begin with and Hager makes it even worse. I guess Hager was/is neighbor of Weir's. I agree with A-Man, writing about a dude's problem is pretty lame, but of course it sells. I saw Van Halen in 91 in Carbondale, I had a free ticket. It was decent enough show from what I remember

I try not to watch the rehab show but usually fail. He seemed pretty messed up on the show. Wasn't a big Alice and Chains fan, so I never heard of him before the show. Addiction sure is a suck ass thing. I wonder how people who go through the rehab show, succeed in recovery?

He was the guy who played with Jagger on the Grammy's, right? The Tiny Desk performance was great.

Going on now...

Nice to see Dave Douglas on the schedule.

A while back (perhaps in the 2nd Dead thread) we were discussing Hart's financial status while he was on hiatus from the band. Below is a blogger "hypothesis. The whole post is pretty good. Lost Live Dead (blog)

Which, I think, would be good for the Cardinals. They should get a lot for him. I don't the particulars of his contracts, though. At least it would be better than loosing him to free agency.

I agree.

Jeffrey Norman 2/4/11 re Europe ’72: The Complete Recordings David Gans audio interview with Jeffrey Norman. Pretty nice talk regarding mixing.

That would have been a great show to see, where(venue) did they play?

Speaking of Williams: GM: $30M for 1 player 'asinine' Kinda have to agree with him, but I am sure next year Pujols will get it from someone.

Only caught the last 45 minutes or so, but it was good stuff, esp. the last song. Whoever was responsible for the web-cast, deserves kudos, too. It sounded and looked great. Too bad they are not swinging through Chicago.

Way to show your support for Wilco in the chat.

When my alarm went off this morning, WXRT just started to play "Can't Stand It". Nice way to wake up

Poor wording on my part, I meant that you agreed that they should not loose their rights.

I agree and I would suspect some (perhaps even a slight majority) of public employees agree, but that doesn't mean that unions should loose their collective bargaining rights, which I see in a few posts down you kinda agree with. I guess there are two issues here: 1. Pay/Benefits and 2. Collective Bargaining Rights. Does the pension system have to be severely restructured, yes, but I don't think the workers need to loose their rights in order to do it. Should unions give up some of what they fought for, perhaps yes (and many unions have), but they should be able to get to the table and do so.

I guess I don't see your point. Do you think the above notion is lost on those in Madison and the rest of the country, who are fighting for what the earned? Definitely something has to give on both sides, but I don't think it's right to presume that people who are fighting for their own worker's rights don't realize that private sector workers (which includes me) are also hurting.

I was always too much of a chicken to do any of that ramp stuff.

I did flip over my Scrabbler's handle bars and got a concussion. Spent a couple nights in the hospital. Did they even make bike helmets in the early 80s? At least I missed a few days of school.

I think Teddy Roosevelt did and I kinda think Reagen did, too. Maybe not specifically state union workers though, which is probably your point.

Well I definitively wasn't tough looking, I was a small,skinny torpe , though I always wore a flannel and jeans like my older sister's friends. Mine had a chain guard, too. Always hated getting my jeans stuck in the chain. I googled The Raleigh Chopper, I forgot all about those - man that was some bike. My brother first bike the the Tornado.
