Per Rolling Stone: (I think Dylan was one of the first ones to make a statement - before he was 'really' dead.) “It’s shocking, crushing news,” Dylan said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “I thought the world of Tom. He was great performer, full of the light, a friend, and I’ll never forget him.”

It was a good one -- nice way to strike out the last two for the win, too.

"Ali" is nice, interesting choice. Didn't realized that the Tedeschi Trucks Band performed that tune.

This is why I don't gamble - the Yankees are looking great. Cub's bats better start doing something real quick.

Ozzie Guillen still wants to manage - to one Sox to another. Can you imagine, Guillen in Boston...

Didn't Dusty pull out every excuse when he was with the Cubs, too?

Regarding Dylan and Don't Look Back (65-66 in general) - I think drugs and him being surrounded with a bunch with a bunch of yes-men had a lot to do with his ass-holeness. (I agree his comes off as a asshole). After listening to the live 66 box set - it's a wonder he survived - he was a mess.

Yeah - a Being There deluxe would be really something.

Think it may be the below that you are referring to --- I didn't catch Petty saying that - need to re-watch it. http://10point1.blogspot.com/2010/10/really-truth-is-just-plain-picture-bob.html Transcript Bob Dylan TIME Magazine Interview — Documentary “Don’t Look Back” ————————————————— Dylan: You gunna see the concert tonight? TM: Yeah. Dylan: You gunna hear it? TM: Yeah. Dylan: Okay your hear it, see it, and it’s gunna happen fast and your not gunna get it all, and you might even hear the wrong words. You know? And then afterwards.. See I’m.. I wont be able to talk to you aft

There may be a few floating around about Turner hitting one's wife, too. Of all the things that I have saw/read/heard since Petty's death, his talk/interview with Garry Shandling has been my favorite. Never saw it prior to his death. They had to be stoned to the gills or as Petty said at the end: "Two farmers on acid" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIvNe569Q9g&feature=youtu.be

yeah - a bloop hit is a hit. Cubs definitely got lucky. The starting pitchers on both sides have been stellar.

Maddon pulls Schwarber for a pitch hitter and Almora comes through. Quintana and Scherzer both let down by their bullpen and perhaps managers.

You Got Lucky may be my favorite Petty tune - always enjoyed the video, too. That was a nice piece. Thx.

4 errors in 6 innings - 2 errors on one play. Take Quintana out and then next batter makes it 1-0 Nationals. Not good. Schwarber better get that run back with his bat.

Great, exciting 9th inning in last night's Yankees/Indians game. Chapman is something else. All around, a great pitched game. Cub's bullpen really blew a great Lester start -- looking forward to see how Quintana handles the pressure, today.

Yeah - that was a great piece by Hood. Thanks for that.

Yeah - Cleveland is the team to beat this year - which I don't think anybody will. There are a few ex-Chicago players on the Yankees.

Watched the first 3 innings - the rest via the radio - always liked Sutcliffe in the booth - Berman isn't too annoying today. Sale definitely didn't have it today - which is a bummer. Must admit wanted Sale to win his games and Red Sox to loose the series.

Stinks that today's Boston/Houston game is on MLB.com. I sprung for SLING TV so I can watch most of the games, but the FREE 2018 Spring Training games is not enticing enough to purchase the MLB playoff TV package, too. Would love to watch the Sale/Verlander match up though. The kid's may be sitting in a pub doing their homework and eating ice cream for a while today after school.

They should wait a few years and put the Cure, Depeche Mode, and Joy Division/New Order in at one fell swoop. It would make for the most goth, saddest, danciest. and perhaps most awesomeness ceremony ever.

Just spent yesterday with my brother and sister-in-law - both huge fans. She is going to take it very hard. For the past 25 years, every time he passes through, they go see him. It was always a huge event for her. Sad news, indeed.

I always forget about the above site - it is usually a funny read -- his riffs on Billy are great. Like:

I witnessed that at an Earle show, too --- during the Jerusalem tour. Of course he started talking about the war ,the Bushes and the Muslim religion - people were either leaving or voicing their disapproval -- I had to wonder if they bother purchasing Jerusalem... A lot of people apparently only cling to Guitar Town.

I forgot about that - I thought for the time being he was going to replace the Sessions' seat. I guess the Democrat has been polling close, recently - but it definitely will be hard take the general. But one never knows. Hopefully the D's and moderate R's/I's come out and actually vote in the general.

god help us ---- It's great that Trump's pick lost, but having Moore in the Senate is pretty scary. I haven't completely fact checked the below but it was taken from a Washington Post article: Regarding Moore: one quick search the below link popped up. And this man was elected to the US Senate. Democracy sure has it's flaws... (guess Moore rode his horse to his voting station to cast his own ballot - nice touch) https://qz.com/1088001/roy-moore-likely-to-become-the-next-senator-from-alabama-has-a-history-of-racism/
