I think Wiki may be taken things a bit too far. Though technically true -- i am taking these past shows as Nils sitting in for Poncho. Of course I may be wrong. I haven't heard anything official.

For the past couple of days I have been listening the latest ROXY: Tonight's the Night Live. Great stuff. Would have loved to catch him play during this era. It seems so laid back. Nils is on this release, playing with Molina and Talbot (plus Ben Kieth) , so I guess it's fitting that he played this past week, too.

I heard that he is pretty much retired and living in Hawaii. Maybe Poncho didn't think his chops were up to par for this set of shows - but that sounds unlikely.

The webcast is up on YouTube. Hopefully it makes it to a torrent site. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhsrENSFUCU&feature=player_embedded

Anybody catch the Neil Young/Crazy Horse stream last night -- I forgot about it. Nil Lofgren filled in for Poncho. Pretty decent set list. Hopefully the stream pops up somewhere https://www.rollingstone.com/music/live-reviews/neil-young-reunites-with-crazy-horse-fresno-live-review-w519752 Set List "Big Time" "Country Home" "Don't Cry No Tears" "Winterlong" "World on a String" "Scattered (Let's Think About Livin')" "Fuckin' Up" "Too Far Gone" "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" "Cinnamon Girl" "Cortez the Killer" "Walk On" "Like a Hurricane" "Mansion on the Hill" "Roll Another Number (for th

Perhaps, because one comic has balls and the other boobs.

Yeah I agree, I kept falling asleep during the last two episodes. While growing up, I don't remember hearing about any of this stuff. Interesting story, though. That main lady was pretty ruthless - I guess one would want her on one's side if you gonna lead a movement...

Caught some of it. Definitely a solid band, but it really didn't engage me to keep watching it. Will give it another shot, though. I did enjoy when he teamed up with Georgie Fame in the 90's.

Listening to 4/29/71 -- probably for the 1,342nd time -- probably not that much, but I have probably have listen to this show more than any other. The Loser always gets me, so great.

Sling had free HBO this past weekend - so I caught this. Definitely an interesting doc. Never realized that that the Colonel was an illegal citizen. Definitely a sad story.

Safe travels and Enjoy!

Also on the Fall from the Phil Zone - the below was released --- I would be completely fine with an audience release. (Just make sure the taper gets a least a liner note credit). It would bring up the whole argument - if the band makes money off the audience recording - should the taper? I say the taper does not necessarily deserve to be paid - though they should at least to get a free copy of the remaster.

They have used audience patches before in official releases (without crediting the taper, which always bugged me).

It seems like David L. always talks like that -- though I must admit, they do pull some great stuff, though.

It's been a horrible start for the White Sox. The below is crazy and scary. Hopefully he pulls through, fine. Can't imagine being in the dugout watching his collapse unfold.

Waxahatchee at Thalia Hall.

Yep that was pretty much it, but I'll take cobra's over middle of the night calf cramps any night...fuck they hurt.

About 3am this morning I woke up screaming (scaring the hell out my wife) - cramp in my calf - happen to be dreaming about being a Wilco show and focusing on Glen hitting the hell on the drums. I am hoping Glen stretches before each show.

They both enjoyed the freak-out kind of feedback.

I do enjoy the Matrix release - i get a slight Dead vibe when I listen to them -- a Viola Lee Blue/Feedback feel.

Nah.

Why would you even try to make sense of it?

White Sox's Friday/Saturday/ Sunday games all canceled due to snow ---- I think the Twins should have went with the retractable-roof route. Now I just read that the next two Twins/Indians games will be played in Puerto Rico.

Today I became a great-uncle.

I am still using Sling - it's been fine for us, especially for baseball watching.
