Digging the AM outtakes very much. Remastered? They sound very good.

Thought of you guys last night. I've missed you.

The Nels and RT exchanges on Sloth were amazing. Nels was on fire all night. Great to be back at a Wilco show.

Would be forever indebted. Thanks.

Just today got around to buying Tiny Cities vinyl. (Underground Sounds in Ann Arbor. Thought maybe I'd run into Obama. Ran into Tweedy there a few years ago) Just now listening to his gorgeous version of Space Travel Is Boring, when I came across this thread. April has really grown on me. Look forward to the new release.

This one really hurts. His music moved me more than most. Crushing.

Happy birthday Allison.

Happy day after!

There's a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold and not a chearleader's outfit. Yes, he should be impartial with respect to his own decisions. A judge/justice should not personalize his/her rulings. Rulings should be based upon findings of fact and matters of law, not personal preference. When Alito reacted, he clearly showed it was personal.

Really? Well, obviously this decision allows corporations with mammoth funds to, without limit, promote candidates who favor their business interests and promote defeat of those who do not. Those candidates who typically favor the interests of big corporations, such as oil, banks, and health insurance are . . . Reeeepublicans. So, Republicans would benefit directly from this ruling. This would apply not only to the largest and wealthiest corporations, but also to those with more localized, modest interests. That is the simple answer to your question. But, that is not necessarily why I

Especially when, based on a justice's reaction, it's clear the decision is political. And, why did we not hear from those now offended by Obama's disapproving statements when Reagan and the two Bushes railed against and denigrated Roe v Wade?

In many respects, he was.

Alito's reaction to being called out by Obama is objectionable for the mere fact that the Supreme Court has to be above politics. Supreme Court decisions should not be influenced by politics. Alito reacting to the address and criticism showed me (again - Bush/Gore) that this particular bench is not above politics and, in fact, the recent decision is completely politically based. Sad.

Yeah, ain't the 1st Amendment grand?! Great, uncomfortable, historical drama.

Happy birthday, Donna!

Happy birthday, Chris! Enjoy your day.

Err . . . uhh . . . this is ROCK N ROWL, not a spelling bee!

True. They were first treated as "persons" under a tax case out of California in the 1800s which, I guess, led to their being codified as such at a later time. I don't think, until now, their consideration as "persons" has been used to justify granting them 1st Amendment rights allowing them to advance their self-interests through unlimited funding of political campaigns/issues (albeit indirectly) so that, in the end, they will have a more direct effect on the process than actual persons/citizens.

Until Halliburton, or some other like-minded corporation (since they now are seen as persons, corporations will be attributed with minds), demands that the politicians they paid (placed) into office enact legislation establishing internment camps as morally necessary and begin locking the rest of us up.

Sshhhhhh . . . (whispering) never liked Led Zepplin in the 70's. Dead, Dylan, Neil, Zappa, etc., left no room for the radio-popular Zepplin. Have since grown to love them.

Hoping all goes well, Greg. See you soon.

4 for the Pittsburgh show would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. wcahalan@yahoo.com
