It's pretty cool that they are partnering up with the Field Museum -- looks like it will be the only place to drink it until 2018. A great museum for anyone visiting Chicago. https://www.timeout.com/chicago/blog/the-field-museum-will-begin-selling-sue-inspired-craft-beer-121216

Seems like we chat about this a lot - but Alligator has always been my favorite. The Wolf is tied with his SG during 69/70 era.

Listened to the stream a few times and enjoyed --- can't beat the price on Amazon. Definitely will be catching them when they pass through Chicago in April. Hopefully, it will be better than the last time I saw him at the Park West - that was a pretty boring show...Hopefully the show will reflect the new record.

Maybe everyone on the board can chip and we can all share the Wolf on a monthly basis. The money will go to a good cause, which is good.

Illinois has always been a hard state to sell liquor/beer. A lot of red-tape.

I bet if we get this thread going again - Hixter will participate. Odell Brewery will be distributing in Chicago - that's good news. Enjoying a Lagunitas Little Sumpin' tonight.

I doubt the Supreme Court will hear it since it was a 3-0 decision.

Yeah I know that - it's the whole Garcia in the support role was what I was getting at --- It's 'an ol Chuck song', as Keith would say.

My favorite is Promised Land -- Garcia always seems to rip it behind Weir vocals and rhythm - I never tire of that tune. The whole below verse gets me every time. Garcia is always great. Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia, Tidewater four ten O nine Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin' And the poor boy's on the line.

^ I agree --- Conway has always seemed to be a mercenary, hence the PAC supproting Cruz to Trump switch. And I don't blame Conway - it's business, I get it, we all need a gig to get on.

This is it for me -- Garcia wrote pretty straight forward songs - chord wise and, to a point, rhythm. It was always interesting to hear what Garcia would do in those funky/odd chords/rhythm of Weir's.

It was nice to see Rep. Chaffetz speak out against it. In the grand scheme of things, this whole Conway thing is nothing to the other ethics violations that this new administration has been doing - like banning a whole religion (of 7 countries) from entering this country. (Yes, I know Chaffetz's committee has nothing to do with monitoring or sanctioning the ban.)

Yeah, esp. Paul.

Sounds like he had a Trump premonition.

Credit to the two R's (Murkowski & Collins) who voted against Devos, too. Also, I can't imagine the amount of money that Warren will be up against in her reelection.

I thought the Beatles '66 was a great, interesting read - but I not the biggest Beatles' fan, so it was all new info for me. Be curious to know if you get anything new out of it, Winston --- I am pretty sure you are a more knowledgeable Beatles fan than I am.

Just started Season 2 of Mozart in the Jungle - pretty good. It's nice that it is only a 1/2 hour show.

Does anybody know if the above was brought up in the hearings - just curious to hear what her response was.

My aunt - who is a nun - doesn't even like Pence. Didn't ask who she voted for - but I am pretty certain it wasn't for Trump/Pence. There are definitely one issue Catholics, where any pro-life candidate will suffice, but no one in my family has been like that. Perhaps it's a 'big city' view ---my family are(were) all Chicago south-side Polish and Irish Catholics who came here in the early 1900's. I don't believe in anything anymore (deity wise), though - except three chords and the truth, of course.

Yeah, plus he said the below - so we are all good. (fitting that he said it at the National Prayer Breakfast, too)

Heard on Academy on the radio on the way home from work yesterday - great, great tune. Haven't pulled out their CDs in a long while.

Even if I had a record player, I probably will skip this. I wonder if all the below are being reissued - even the Elvin Bishop one. Guessing the 5 song American Beauty EP will not be part of it. Also, It seems that there are a few of repeats - I wonder if they are different versions. I guess it would be cool to have the Touch of Grey/My Brother Esau - I always enjoyed My Brother Esau.

Watched a bunch of U2 DVDs the last week or so -- still think the Boston, Elevation from 2001 is my favorite. Re-watched the Red Rocks - definitely see the early greatness that was to come. Zoo TV show DVD was okay - I enjoy Popmart more, though. Slane Castle wasn't shot all that great, though it was cool was it was in Ireland and the banter was great. 2005, Chicago didn't hold my interest. 360 was shot nicely, but the newer songs didn't do much for me. The Boots songs is kinda of cool.

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Press and others need to keep at it, though.

Hopefully this holds up. Trump v. Press. Nice work by Alter's team.
