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/

Thanks for sharing - Enjoy the show and best wishes to you and your family!

Are you guys trying to start a turf war or something? ('turf war' is probably on my brain since I watched a bit of last night's Tupac/Biggie Fox investigation special)

Yeah - I thought Cohens stayed in - it was close. I rarely watch football anymore - but that great/dumb play to end the 1st half and end of the game - made it an entertaining game - (though I had the Cubs game on for the most part watching Quintana pitch a great game)

Wonder if the band requested an appointment to take a peak at the Dylan archives at the Univ. of Tulsa.

Great ending for the Bears game. Finally.

I have been watching bits and pieces of the Vietnam doc (I plan to watch it all) , but with all the crap going on presently, it so depressing watching it. During the start of the war we were suppose to have the 'best and brightest' running things and look what that brought us. I think the current administration is far from 'the best and brightest' - but who knows, perhaps an oil CEO and a developer can oversee and run wars better - i am not banking on it, though.

The Cubs are definitely getting it together at the right time. Timely hitting (and walking), decent fielding - looking forward to the playoffs.

My buddy mentioned the above to me last night and I thought he had too much too smoke.

Yep.

Not me - but my wife is catching Ted Leo and The Record Company tonight at a Goose Island Block Party.

I only saw Raging Bull for the 1st time a couple of month's ago - found it very unsettling. It was good, but I had a stomachache afterwards. Never knew the politics of Woods, before. Always enjoyed his acting, though.

We got through the three seasons that are available. Season 3 is good - definitely gets 'darker', though. The character who is always smoking the e-cig always cracks me up - the junkie is an interesting character, too - a different type of junkie role. I would get back on it.

Regarding Spicer - I guess I don't look to Hollywood for normalizing or legitimizing anything. And I am not sure if it did in anyway. My opinion of him hasn't changed. I would not watch a political show, where he is participating as a pundit, because I have no desire to hear what he has to say. But him standing up at a Hollywood TV awards show making a joke about the idiocy and untruthfulness of the whole inaugural crowd count is fine with me - though I totally see and understand where one may disagree. I had to google the after-show pictures -- didn't realize that all happen - it definite

Been enjoying listening to Mike Gordon's latest OGOGO. Very poppy. He is playing a somewhat small club (Metro) in October, anybody ever catch one his solo shows. His band looks pretty great.

Always like the band that he had on the albums and tours during this period. I am rationalizing this purchase, because the I skipped the The Bootleg Series Vol. 12: The Cutting Edge 1965–1966 release. One gets an additional 2 discs (a 1979 show from San Diego) if purchased through the Dylan main site - I went that route.

Definitely getting this one.

No it isn't. And who cares if Spicer was on the Emmy's. I didn't seeing it at legitimizing anything. It was a funny bit. Him being laughed at while on the stage was the same as being booed off the stage. That 60 Minute Bannon interview was interesting - I only caught a bit of it - the last 20 minutes that Charlie Rose showed on his PBS show. It's crazy that he was in the White House as an advisor to a President of the U.S. I can see him being a dealer or maybe someone who sneaks a drink into the President, not advice. He just looks like ill. He is great at talking, though. Anyway - with

Actually I never gotten around to read Kot's book on the Staples. I have read his Wilco book and thought it was okay by rock book standards, but that is not saying much. Once, I went to one of his book talk/conversation at local book store, where he talked about his Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music book - the discussion was interesting, but I didn't get through the book. So I guess I am in your boat. However - that said, I still think it's cool for him and the Staples that the Chicago Library picked the book - at least it is locally relevant and I think it is important t
