Just put it on hold -- should be the remaster too. Is there any back story to the cover - looks like Entwistle put the comp. together - wonder if was a big American football fan?

Somehow I never gotten around to listening to the Young Vic show, until tonight --- enjoy Time is Passing, never heard this one before. Not familiar with Odds and Sods or Pete's first solo record, though I remember always seeing Odds and Sods in the stacks when I was younger. Always thought it was great record cover. Cheesy as all hell, but great. Especially since they are English.

Speaking of 73 - now listening to the 9/7/73 Eyes - off the bonus cuts from the Wake of the Flood release --- doesn't get much better. Jerry just kills on this, also enjoy Keith's electronic piano.

I thought I read that Tweedy is done going to Grammy ceremonies -- could be way off, though. It is nice that they got nominated.

Yeah - and at the end of the day the DSO's members are fans/deadheads. Throughout the book they interview other deadheads to get their perspective -- not only the DSO folks. I am up to about 91 ---- great book, thus far.

tis the season again -- officially starts when I put the below on the tree - a gift from my sister back in 97.

Maybe Brooks will ease your mind a bit. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/04/opinion/no-donald-trump-wont-win.html?hpw&rref=opinion&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=well-region&region=bottom-well&WT.nav=bottom-well&_r=1 Also nice front page op-ed by the NY Times today --- see if this gets any traction, sadly I doubt it will. And yes they do write about taking certain types of guns away from lawful owners for the "greater good". http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/05/opinion/end-the-gun-epidemic-in-america.html?action=click&pgtype=Homepage&clickSource=stor

Bob Dylan has some good ones.

I agree, Trump is getting his share of push back from the media -- both from the right and left. He may deserve more, but he is getting it. The pundits on the 'established' right are not fond of him. (Will/Brooks, etc.)

I listened to Dick's Pick 14 last night --- Disc 4 from 12/2/73.

Trump is some getting push back from the other candidates, esp from Bush and Kasich - of course not many republicans care what they have to say, but at least they are calling him out.

I am not completing panning the shows -- though it may appear that I am. I just wish it would have been better is all. Awkward is a apt word for the shows. After watching some of the web-casts everyone seemed tentative. I got the web-cast feeds from a kind poster here -- definitely glad I have them.

Yeah they are selling FTW DVDs and CD's --- if they would have played better, I probably would have bought it, but after re-watching the shows, I decided not to actually buy any of the packages that they are selling. It was a great time - but I doubt would revisit the shows too often, because at the end of the day the music wasn't all that great. Perhaps if they actually rehearsed more, I would have sprung some more dough and bought it. They probably get along well enough to go on stage (an make lots of money) but not enough to get in room and hash out some tunes. Of course they were nev

It does kinda of suck that they didn't rehearse more for these show. They probably would have sold a lot music on the back end if they did, but I guess the band has never been that interested in selling records/DVDs. It's pretty obvious the core four are not that close -- I am thinking the Billy/Mickey and Phil don't get along. Bobby seems to be stuck in the middle between the two camps. What you gonna do.

I still have these on my old lap top -- I must have gotten these from you or the original poster - I was going through them last month and was wondering where I have gotten them.

Ok that's good - didn't hear that he was sick or anything, so I was wondering.

Is Ringo hurting for money or is just downsizing and unloading stuff?

I am up to 1974 - which is about 2/3rds of the book -- real good, thus far. They interviewed some of the Dead office workers - which for me is kinda cool - a different perspective of the events. Just got an email from my library that new Jerry on Jerry: the unpublished Jerry Garcia Interviews is in for me -- guess I will roll right into that. I guess there audio version has the actual audio interviews with Garcia on it - that might be cool to listen to.

I always had great record stores around my house growing up and when I finally moved into the city - so I only had to go to a Tower Record once - I went to the one on Wabash in city - I was impressed when I walked in - the store had a few levels. I think it closed within a year after I finally went there. I bought The Complete Miles Davis at Montreux there - I remember they had a hell of a sale for it. Now I am back living in the area where I grew up and no record stores are left - my only option is Best Buy.

Definitely agree with the 1st statement. I am a liberal pinko and I have some negative opinions on the President. But with regards to the 2nd - below is the statement issued by the President - where does he write about "grabbing guns"? He may have talked about it elsewhere in another statement or speech, but when I read the below - I don't get the sense the government wants to and will be "grabbing guns". More regulation, perhaps - but "grabbing guns" I don't see. I am guessing you are reading the section in bold and interpreting it as "grabbing guns".

Did you make it to the Dead & Co. show, Lammycat?

What about classroom training on shooting one? Grant it, you can buy a bunch of rounds and go to range and have shooting practice -- but is that training one to properly own a gun or how just aim a gun?

I didn't mean anything by the "gun school" jargon -- I just mean classes in gun self defense. But one doesn't have to take any classes like that to own a gun, correct? Again I am not baiting here - just curious --- I have never owned a gun. But I think if I ever decide to get one to protect my family, I would take some classes and was wondering what is taught in those classes. I brought this up, because of the whole home invasion stuff. And again I am not baiting - but I am guessing what was taught about guns in the arm forces is different than what is taught in a self defense/home invas

So that is what is taught in gun school --- process the situation. I am assuming the law, in the vast many states, that any intruder, armed or not armed, is a 'legal' target.

Would it matter if the intruder is armed or not armed? Curious - is one taught in gun school to shoot at any intruder, whether the intruder is armed or not? Does one look for gun first or ask if the intruder if they are armed or tell the intruder that you are armed?
