Egads!

Man that was a tight (not good "tight," either) inning.

GD 8-22-93. Autzen Stadium, Eugen, OR. Fantastic. Jack Straw -> Bertha Little Red Rooster Broken Arrow Althea Masterpiece Tennessee Jed Music Never Stopped Help on the Way -> Slipknot -> Franklin's Tower Samson and Delilah Ship of Fools Corinna -> Drums -> Space -> The Wheel -> I Need a Miracle -> The Days Between -> Not Fade Away Liberty

Dudes in college used to swallow 'em. Weird. I remember those snap things, too. They blew the squirming coil snake deal away.

They should all be holding monkeys instead. They'd be louder. And people could see.

30-pitches in the 1st inning for Santana. That's nice.

There are plenty of nuggets in there. Plenty. I actually appreciated Vince, for the most part, too. The "Visions of Johanna" that they started doing were almost always top-notch and sublime. The "Bertha"s in '93 were particularly good. The "Broken Arrows." I like "Corrina." "SOTM," "So Many Roads," "Liberty," "I Fought the Law," "Lazy River Road," "Days Between," the break-outs/revivals: "I Want to Tell You," "Rain," "Baba O'Riley," "Tomorrow Never Knows," "Lucy in the Sky," "She Said," "It's All Too Much(!!)," "H.C. Sunshine," "New Speedway," "Unbroken Chain," etc. All good things and usua

Finally!!!!

The Cubs lost two in a row to good teams during the year, right? They've also won three in a row against good teams....

Another nice Troy Renck piece in today's Denver Post on youth, breaking in, and strategy with BOS: http://www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_10622957

Hope she's wearing tear-away pants!

Eh, I still disagree to an extent. The GD music was meticulously scrutinized by the fan base. Not that Phish's base wasn't, but the GD body of tunes has more history behind it. I don't think the GD got away on nights that a member or two performed sub-par. Garcia certainly wasn't the only member to have off nights, either. I also disagree that it was all mellow, meander stoner music. There's a lot to be said for the Swing/Rock aspect, as well as a lot of the 3-4 minute tunes in the first set. They could flat-out Rock at times. I think, if anything, the scrutiny got more and more intense a

Precisely the phrase that solidified the piece as a well-done one, for me.

I never thought Pinnochio was creepy. In fact, it's been my favorite since I was a kid. Maybe I'm just blocking some scenes out, though.

I've always liked Troy Renck, writer/columnist for the Denver Post, but his take on last night's BOS/LAA game deserves special note. I just think it's a fine piece of writing: http://www.denverpost.com/rockies/ci_10614277 Just getting an espn screen (blank). Maybe I'm firewalled.

Yeah, I read that in the morning paper. In lighter news, Travis Henry (NFL/ex-Bronco) got popped for a huge amount of cocaine deal gone belly up in Denver. Guess he wasn't paid well enough. http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_10613183

I think it's all downhill for the Cubs from here on out.

Wall-E sucked. There. I said it. The Fox & The Hound should be on any "Best of" list about animated films, too, as should Charlotte's Web. Agree on Watership Down, too. Needs to be nearer to #1. Pinocchio just might be #1, for me.

I don't feel bad for Cubs fans. I'm not a Cubs fan. I don't dislike Cubs fans, or the Cubs for any particular reason, but I don't feel bad for them.

Coincidence that he promoted, basically, ammonia and then goes and dies of pneumonia? I just purchased one of his magic erasers last week.

Not to turn this thread around, but Garcia had many more nights being "on" than off, including from the mid-80s on, imo. There's a lot of great music that was made during that period mid-80s->95), it just obviousy differs from other GD eras. They were many bands in one, anyway. I guess with the Trey thing: he's already successfully and honorably wrestled his demons. I'll give the guy the benefit of the doubt.

Oh, now you'll root for them. But hey, the Rays are on today so....

Ralph Stanley will set the pace this a.m.

Well, well, well....

I wonder if people often criticized Miles Davis or Charlie Parker or Billie Holliday or Ray Charles, etc. (in fact, any of the many Jazz artists at the time who played together and shot smack) back in the day while/after they were heroin users, or if they just enjoyed/talked about their music.
