My wife and friend saw the Femmes back in July in Chicago - they both enjoyed it quite a bit. Neither of seen them since the early 90's and thought they still put a great show, though they were not familiar anything post 92 or so. It was a benefit show for Coalition for the Homeless.

His Arnold Palmer drink happen to make it on the Simpsons season premier last night, too.

Seems like Let it Grow is extremely fast on the 9.23.82 show - a ripping version. Maybe, that's typical for 82. Very peppy version of Touch of Grey, too.

I listened to this one again this morning -- one of my favorites.

I always preferred the studio version of We Can Run -- actually I prefer all the studio cuts of Brent's Built to Last tunes to the live versions. Just A Little Light was okay live.

This one may be the best yet. http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/emotional-obama-tearfully-thanks-trump-for-granting-him-citizenship

The Jazz Record Mart in Chicago has closed and reopened quite a few times over the years - due to raising rents and such.

Nice article, too. Sadly, "Purple Rain" is starting to set up camp with "Hey Jude" - another tune I don't need to ever hear performed live again. I do like Yoakam's version, because he doesn't go on and on and on and on with the outro refrain.

Can we just start a new thread for this anthem business? The U.S. Constitution covered this. Hoping that Senator Clinton gets well soon and gets right back in there and speaks to the people on how she will try to encourage a political/social/economical climate where we all will prosper (as much as possible) and be safe. She needs not to speak of the Trump name, until the debates; including the commercials - fuck him and everyone against her; she really needs to start reaching out to people who are leaning towards her. She has been focusing too much on Trump and not reaching out more to th

I was going to mention the same thing -- all that money the NFL makes and we (taxpayers) have to pay for them for this -- pretty crazy.

That great --- I have a few JGB tapes at work that I throw in every now and then - mostly Archive.org, Dylanradio, XM, or Spotify at work.

Nels is currently on Fresh Air - at least on WBEZ.com

Maybe, Trump can release his returns at a Clinton presser -- a kill two birds with one stone kind of thing.

Guess, I need to listen to that version, then -- I skipped it yesterday.

Must of heard the number 274 about 274 times today.

I always loved the original. The above was pretty interesting, too.

Today, i got the below email from Ticketmaster -- didn't expect or know about it. That's cool.

Wow - that indeed is a stripped down stage.

Great interview with Nels. http://www.popmatters.com/feature/i-had-to-step-up-my-game-an-interview-with-nels-cline-of-wilco/

Did you (or anyone) ever see a show at the Wetlands. Watch a documentary on the place earlier this year and it looked like it would have been a cool place to see a show.

Plus, Trey did that whole Surrender to the Air record

Just pulled a ticket to see Weir at the Chicago Theater. Should be interesting to see him perform with the National guys - not really familiar with them at all, though I did see them play at a Lolla - I think.

Yeah - they started to cover the Grateful Dead and now Tupelo - they must be running out of 'cool' bands.

Happen to come across the below in a Son Volt forum. http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/1238-7-times-uncle-tupelo-predicted-this-political-mess-were-in/ I am not Twitter, but I guess Tweedy's response was the below.

Nice read.
