The sense that players always tried to get around the rules: spit balls, cutting the baseballs with rings, and amphetamines. Also some implied that if a drug like steroids were around during the Ruth/Mantle days they would have used them. Hope you found the dog.

I heard it put in that context before and I have to agree with it. I thought part one was pretty good. Watching the part on the strike brought up a bunch of bad feelings all over again - the White Sox were in first place that year before the strike.

I thought this was kinda of cool - from Obama's interview in Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone Link Of course, he probably just wanted to get back on his bus so he can catch Pawn Stars.

On the Faces' covers, I read that Ian McLagan sat in at the Austin show, which would have been cool to see. The Crowes also cover the Stones "Just Wanna See His Face" a few nights ago. It's up on bt-etree. It started off kinda rough, but I think it sounded okay.

Yeah and getting picked up by the cops. He must of signed off on it, I'd guess. I don't know though. I can see Dlyan watching Pawn Stars on his bus.

Gotta love the comments on the house page - sheesh.

Saw Ladies and Gentlemen: The Rolling Stones last week in a theater, the lighting was a bit dark, but the performance was great. Can't wait for the DVD.

Sure you already know, but it's up on bt-etree. Haven't had a chance to listened to it, yet, with the exception of the East Virgina Blues - Dickinson sounded great on the tune.

Never heard that I Washed My Hands In Muddy Water before. Sounded good. The show from 12/7/71 (Felt Forum) was one of my first boots, as was 4/29/71 (Fillmore East).

Been listening to the above all day.

Crowebase link of times played of "Pimper's Paradise". Haven't heard of that song either. Over on the Black Crowes site Chris talks about their show with the Grateful Dead in the Tall Tale's section and Steve talks about it on one his podcast on his site.

I am downloading it off of dime, now. Must admit never heard the tune, before.

Found this by the way of the BC Tour Blog - Steve's tweets from the Snowmass Festival. Guess he liked watching Wilco.

It was the 99 Park West, Chicago shows. Half the songs of each show were acoustic. Early show (bobdates) Late Show (boddates) That early show in Atlantic City set does look good, though. Haven't heard it.

I have seen Dylan where he played two shows in one night - one show had LARS, the other AATW. So in essence I saw a show when he didn't play one of them, but of course I got both in one night. I only care if a band plays well; they can play what ever they want.

Good luck in the playoffs.

Croweology may be a good start. It has the current lineup doing their old catalog, acoustically. For a double cd, it's rather cheap, too.

Tonight (and tonight only!!!!!) this movie is going to be in the theaters. Here is a link to the participating theaters. I am looking forward to it, since I only watched various snippets of it on YouTube. Should be great in a theatre.

See, just what I wrote, Reed is the one of the most generous and likable songwriter out there!

I do believe that is Lou singing in that commercial, right? So I don't see the correlation of having his song in a commercial and Susan Boyle singing it on a TV show. I don't think Lou particular appreciates Boyle's singing/performance of the song, thus he doesn't want her to perform it on the air. Is it a dickish thing to do, sure. But he is Lou Reed.

Finally, White Sox gain a game. Good win tonight.

Well, this board has been pretty dead lately, a "stimulus" post is indeed in order?

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut. "Not Now John" and a few bomb sound effects may jolt you back awake, but I always found the album relaxing.

LouFest organizers did not allow taping. Of course, someone might of sneaked it in. I did not notice anyone, though. It would have been a great show to tape - the crowd was perfect. If it pops up, it will be posted in the In a Future Age thread.
