I did not know that. Hey Kyle, is he your Rep.? I do like the guy, seriously.

I remember watching the Dolphins from the '72-'74 period and they were one hell of an awesome football team - top to bottom. That is all.

The V-Day ritual here is to listen to 2/14/70. We're incurable romantics.

The Giants can do this thing. They just have to play a near-perfect game. Hey, let's not forget, they gave NE all they wanted for 3+ quarters just a few weeks ago. It can be done. You gotta have faith.

Nice job Eric. Here's a just my .02: MN Rep. Kieth Ellison is a Muslim, and he did place his hand on the Koran when being sworn in. He's also a great guy....I wish he was my congressman, not the nutcase I do have.

"Farrar's achy-breaky drawl". I know everyone's entitled to their opinion, but jeesh.. That voice drills me to the floor like few others do.

What Aman said...for the most part, these guys seem real approachable. Definitely not a "rock star" kind of thing. I was with my whole family last year and we met all of them. It was easy as pie.

Rockin' the Rhein (4/24/72) is an official release and a very worthy one if you have not heard it. Full show with a few bonus tracks. I concur with DS about the Road Trips - good stuff, it just doesn't "flow" like a full show.

Does the fact that I listened to a lot of metal/hard rock 30+ years ago and eventually I got around to liking Wilco have any meaning here (regarding the topic)? I hope it doesn't take your friends that long!

LNGCA rocks pretty damn hard - and it even has a drum solo!

I've mentioned this to a few folks here...UT played within an hour or so from me dozens of times but I never went to see them. I was too caught up in planning to follow another band (which I'm sure you all know who) all over hell's half-acre. Everytime I think about this I want to punch myself in the face.

Oh man. Don't be speaking about yourself in the third-person like that, it reminds me of Edgerrin Effin' James (notice how I didn't use the F-bomb there?) "The Edge gonna do what The Edge gotta do". Man, I used to hate that shit. I mean stuff.

As you know BG I'm a big fan of live records. You cannot go wrong with One For The Road - it begs to be cranked loud!

Take good care of my buddy Lee Ving, will you? Thanks in advance.

Bjornicus, I am happy for you man. I will be rooting for teh Giants in 2 weeks.

It appears that the momentum has went back to HRC for the time being. I was reading some news from NV and I didn't dig some of Barack's latest statements (rippin' on Bill, praise for Ray-Gun, etc.). I hope he stays focused - he's dealing with pros that have been doing this forever. On the other side - I think it would be awesome if the Reps had a brokered convention. I might be wrong but hasn't it been 56 years since that happened? I know I've never seen one.

Eric, this is off-topic here, but how far are you from Alpine Valley? Some of the best times of my life have been there.

When you consider all the horrifying things that have went down since Nov. '04 you have to just hope that we can get through this. I hope it goes quickly.

Tonight will be "shades of '67"...the Ice Bowl. Too bad it isn't Dallas playing up there - we could watch replays of Starr's QB sneak 100 times today!

Aman - do you have that "Unreleased '66" CD that was an official release a few years back? I forget the name...

God Mart, those are cool as hell. Thanks for putting these up man.

I read on another board that last week Lou did a show (for about 100 people!) with Laurie Anderson and John Zorn. That would have been something to see.

I remember Melvin for the many times he played a bad guy on Andy Griffith. Some of his scenes with Don Knotts were really great.

I'm not overly familiar with Cale's records (I only have two). But Lou Reed - he's just one of my favorites ever. "Rock and Roll Animal" never left my turntable for a long time. And as I have said numerous times on here "New York" is simply one of my favorite records of all time.
