Both books are great, too (Picture Show and Texasville). Haven't seen Texasville, but saw the Last Picture show a long time ago. Cybil definitely was a looker.
-
I was impressed with the turnout for Bernie (and for Trump, too). So I would say it was a great night for both of them.
-
I know it way overplayed, but when I first saw the Stones in 1989, they opened up with Start Me - as a 16 year old - I thought it was the best thing ever.

Planned to go over to a neighbors for party -- though my 4 year old came down with a fever yesterday -- it will be a party time decision if we all go or just half of us -- the party is at a friends of my 6 year old house - so he has been looking forward to it for weeks -- damn little sisters... I am rooting for the Panthers, mostly because I am fan of Ron Rivera - a former Bear and an all around decent guy, from what I can gather.
-
That's good to know. Thx.

How was it seeing a show at Wrigley - can't imagine it sounding so good - could be wrong, though.
-
Yeah - should be interesting. One of the last times I saw Phish was when they were playing Chicago's Northerly Island and Pearl Jam was playing Wrigley the same night - a huge storm passed through Chicago, which stopped the Phish show 1 song into the 2nd set. Pearl Jam postponed there show until the storm passed and played well into the next morning, around 2am or so --- bet the neighborhood loved that. I talked to a few people at the next night's Phish show who were at the Pearl Jam show the previous night and/or earlier that morning and they all said it was a blast.

I don't think I would ever want to deal with going to a concert at Wrigley -- but I bet this will be a fun two days. In this day and age, the ticket prices look great, too from the Chicago Tribune:

That Fillmore set is the one to have - from a collector perspective (and perhaps a musical one, too, in my opinion) - it definitely fetches the most money in the aftermarket. I was lucky and grab it when it went on sale.
-
I'll listen to it, too - what the hell. I had to pull out that 73 Winterland box-set out yesterday to prove to my 4 year old daughter that there is a button that read "Good Ol' Grateful Dead". I tend to listen to the 73 set more than the 77 one - but they are both great.

Trying to keep the big money out of politics -- a little wealth equality would help, too. I do think his free college plan is a pipe dream -- if, somehow, he can get the cost of tuition down, I'd be all for that. I think he should start with that. His lack foreign affairs scares me a bit. I stilll go back and forth between him and Clinton. I do like Sanders' passion.
-
Yeah - Bernie was all over this last night, Clinton still doesn't have a clear answer - expect that she thinks that all the money she receives doesn't affect her voting - whatever - it's impossible for anyone to receive thousands and thousands of dollars from a corporation and not be influenced - why else would a corporation give the money unless they want or hope for something in return. Fun debate last night ---- Sanders definitely has to brush up on his foreign policy.

"Rocks Off" off of Exile springs to mind.

We always found that Triple PasteĀ® worked well with our two kids.

I always enjoyed the caucus process - up until this whole coin toss business. There's got to be another way -- perhaps they have to lock the doors until someone comes out a clear winner -- that's the point of a caucus -- persuasion, right? An outcome shouldn't come down to luck of a coin flip. Who gets to call the coin toss? If there is 5 delegates -- and the caucus comes out as a tie - can't each get 2 1/2, rather than 3 and 2? Tally up all the 1/2s' at the end of the overall State of Iowa results and you have a winner. I suppose it can still end up a tie - state wide, though. At this
-
That's a crazy way to do things ---- can't they just call it a tie and move on?
-
I thought it was funny as hell, too -- tuned in late - right when the two were in the cemetery and the English fellow started to tell his story -- that was a nice piece of writing.
-
Yeah - just did a google search and I definitely remember her being on MTV -- guess I just never realized who were parents were.
-
Didn't realize that he and Grace had kid together.
-
Just finally gotten around to watch that Live at the Family Dog DVD from 1970 a couple of days ago --- after I watched it, my biggest take out of the film was Kanter's performance throughout it - his guitar playing and demeanor -- I though it was great.
-
Maybe Stewart will drop in, too.
-
I have participated in Vines on the Hittin' - the whole old school idea is fine, I guess --- can't see why they can't do both, though. I am sure the Moogis part has a lot to do with it, too - I think that is pretty much dead, though. I know you can still buy shows through the ABB site or nugs - but again so does Gov't Mule, not sure if the Trucks' band sells their shows afterwards - and those sbd. shows would be banned on the legit torrents sites anyway. You can't 'Vine' soundboards that were officially purchased either on the Hittin' site.
-
Below is Derek sitting in with Phish on 7/7/99 (less than a month after the ABB Deer Creek show) during the encore songs (Possum and Funky Bitch) - definitely wasn't tentative here. http://phish.in/1999-07-07 Found the below review of the show from a Phish board.
-
Guessing it's either a Gregg or Butch (or I guess management) decision --- obviously Trucks and Haynes are fine with torrents.
-
I saw Derek on his first summer tour with the Allman Brothers Band at Deer Creek - looking over at Hittin' the Web, I see it was his 6th show with the band -- I remember thinking that night he was very tentative in his playing, which makes sense, since he was very young and he's up there playing in the Allman Brothers Band -- after seeing him numerous times since, it's amazing (though I'm not surprised) how much he has evolved into one of the all time best. The other thing I remember was that there was a teenager, with a Slayer shirt on, sitting in front us with his hippie parents. The kid s
