At least one more is planned: I also found this a bit funny, usually directors encourage anyone to see their film: http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/09/16/behind-neil-young-trunk-show-director-demme-on-capturing-a-legend-in-new-film/

Yeah, plus I think Kanye needs to stay away from the sauce. At least for a little while. Perhaps Barack can have a beer, the other two can have a Diet Coke (or which ever corporate drink they represent, via commercials.)

Finally an interview that Jeff Tweedy/Wilco was not brought up. Thanks for the link.

I walked past a tea party going on at Millennium Park (Downtown, Chicago) this afternoon. Around hundred people or so. No protesters, or at least I did not notice any. They had a little stage set up and I did over hear a lady who was giving a speech to the crowd: while talking about Chicago, she stated that we all were in the "belly of the devil".

I am more excited about the inclusion of the B.B King and Turner sets than the five extra songs by the Stones. I will probably end up purchasing it, however I wish there was more Stone's extras.

There was a Blue Murder. http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:jifqxqw5ldde

Really dig the picture of Tony Iommi's guitar/fingers. I think there will be few more people on this board who will chime in.

I am sure you already saw this, Louie... http://leisureblogs.chicagotribune.com/turn_it_up/2009/09/bloodshot-records-celebrates-15-years-an-interview-with-coowners-rob-miller-and-nan-warshaw-.html I thought the below was interesting. Also, you gotta love the H.L. Mencken quote that Bloodshot has on top of their website.

Suppose you need "rehab", too.

Track List for Christmas In The Heart

The only time I saw Justin perform was in 2001 at the Riviera when he opened up for his dad. I was pretty amazed at his solo performance, especially since he was just still a teenager. Definitely need to see Justin again (and get his new album).

Looks great.

Saw them open for Lucero a few weeks back. I never listened to them (or Lucero) before. Pretty impressive.

Same here.

Faces - Too Bad

Grateful Dead - Easy Wind Van Morrison - Cleaning Windows and of course Huey Lewis and the News - Workin' for a livin'

The Exorcism of Emily Rose was pretty interesting. It freaked my wife wife, at least. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0404032/

Don't be a such a Scrooge, Louie. At least it's for charity. I guess it's official, Charlie Sexton is rejoining the band. Should be a good thing. http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/08/26/bob-dylan-welcomes-guitarist-charlie-sexton-back-into-his-band/

Official word on Dylan's Christmas album. We're expecting our first kid at the end of September. It's great that his first Christmas CD will be a Dylan one. http://www.bobdylan.com/#/news/13125 from the above link:

Miles Davis - Bitches Brew

http://blogs.suntimes.com/hoekstra/2009/08/jim_dickinson_takes_a_walk.html A nice piece by Sun-Times' Dave Hoekstra about Dickinson's Chicago connections.

At the end of the day I think Dylan is just a fan like any other music fan who is interested in the history of some his favorite musicians. In Chronicles he goes on and on about his influences. Sure he is Dylan, but I think he was Dylan the music fan before he was Dylan the songwriter. Listening to his radio show you can sense that he really digs the roots/history of music.
