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.

BS

I hate questioning motives or "looking into people's souls" --- but a 'weekend dad' reason - come on!

Definitely miss watching Sale pitching in black - hopefully it will be his year to win the Cy Young.

Now reports that Paul Ryan won't seek another term in Congress. The R's sure seem to be in a mess.

MLB 2017 Started by Lammycat, 06 Apr 2017

At least it's a great routine -- always loved those licks.

The funny thing is that the White Sox played their home game today (same start time as the Cubs)--- though I wish they postponed it, too, since they lost again.

Today is opening day at Wrigley. Postponed until tomorrow. Today was suppose to be youngest's first t-ball practice, too. (once the weather gets nicer - we'll post in the 2018 thread -- also, Lammy was the one who bumped this thread -- dammit' Lammy...)

Guess you can throw on a Cecil Taylor tune on, too. Must admit, I have never heard of Helfer, before. Be interested if he has any thoughts on Taylor.

Hey now ----- he wasn't too bad yesterday. He is only doing 20 games this year. 19 to go.

Jeez - how the hell can they can make that mistake. Other news - the White Sox completely blew their home opener yesterday.

I got that one, too, from the library - haven't listened to it yet.

I listened to half of the Lavette's Things Have Changed last night - definitely a good one. Great, solid band. Mama You've Been on My Mind is a highlight. Below is a great, recent Rolling Stone interview -- she's a firecracker, for sure. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/bettye-lavette-talks-singing-bob-dylan-songs-bruno-mars-w518118

I only saw them once at a Lolla. Iggy decided to invite everybody up on stage. https://www.gettyimages.fi/photos/the-stooges-lollapalooza?family=editorial&phrase=the%20stooges%20lollapalooza&sort=mostpopular

Nice piece in the Atlantic. Only about 60 pages into Astral Weeks : A Secret History of 1968 - great read, thus far. Pretty heady times in Boston in '68. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2018/04/behind-the-masterpiece-van-morrisons-astral-weeks-at-50/556472/

How was Friday's show? I had two friends go and they said they enjoyed it.

Have two tickets (GA-Floor) for tonight's Chicago gig - have to leave town, though. If anybody is interested, please shoot me a PM. Bummed that we have to miss it.
