Sad news. Heard Dickey's 'Duane's Tune' on the radio this morning on the way to work -- I don't think I ever heard it before. My first impression was hair metal - Skid Row or something. It just seemed way to forced.

Figures - that's what I get for giving the HOF the benefit of the doubt

Plus, Neil probably always had better weed than Pete. I can't imagine the inductees not having complete control on who inducts them - -but who knows, the R&R HOF is a weird organization.

Looks like Glenn is in the professor business, too. My wife probably would have flipped if she ran into on campus... http://www.uchicago.edu/features/experimenting_with_song/

Just realized, the two owls that have been around my house for the last three years are back --- they could help with the situation, too. I think my village is filled with a bunch of lazy predators...

Do they end up drowning and do you just relocate them once they are caught. I do have a great park across the street from me. They all can live a very comfortable life over there.

I have not tried that -- I will definitely will - thanks.

That would be great - my youngest kid loves seeing the two scurry around, but I think a 5 year old is ready to see a cracked neck and a little blood trickily from a mouth (in case I don't get to the trap, before she sees it) Of course, hopefully sunflower butter works - since the stated 5 year old has a peanut allergy.

Yeah it does, even the wife said 'wow', while watching the video.

Yeah - I have tried 'nice' deterrences and such over the last two springs/summers with not much success -- think I am ready for your idea.

Wish a coyote would take care of the two chipmunks that hang out around my house - the burrowing little fuckers. We do have fox that hangs outs in our back yard from time to time, but I guess it is not a chipmunk fan.

I think they never had the 2nd set in the vault.

OK Tipper - I'll watch an episode first, before I watch it with the kid. (honestly thanks for the parental head's up, though now I have a dumb Judas Priest song in my head)

Need to check out Detectorists -- it sounds like it will be right up my kid's alley - he loves finding crap while we are out walking about. He is a big fan of American Pickers.

Just realized that my intro to Chuck may have been off REO's Nine Lives record with their version of Rock and Roll Music. Production is pretty dreadful, but it's a solid cover. They totally REO-ed it up. Which I think one should do with a cover -- for better or worse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMEquKqOcoc Listening to Chuck's Complete Chess Singles cd, tonight.

Enjoy - that sounds like a great bill - let us know how the show was -- if you don't mine.

Jeez, forgot all about Speed Buggy --- a Jay v. Jeff Wacky Race episode would be fun, too

Nice piece - Woodland is a great neighborhood.

Saw that - probably will be there, too. Never seen them before.

Yeah, he's hot shit.

I agree with everything. One my great baseball memories is sitting in the 'Sale Zone' with my kid (his first major league ball game) one night. It was a Scherzer/Sale match up. They both pitched great, but Scherzer pitched a 9 inning/3 hit shutout.

He may be little happy being out of Chicago... I don't think he really cared for the White Sox front office towards the end... The vast majority of the Chicago sport writers have him winning the Cy Young this year.

Cause they want to make money - hence the event at the Barclays Center. I agree though - a live stream would be nice.

Yeah HBO. Eventually, XM will run something, also.

Doesn't look like it - unless you have ticket to the simulcast at the Barclays Center. XM has a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame channel - it would have been kinda of nice to simulcast it on the channel, at least. https://www.rockhall.com/induction-ceremony-simulcast
