The six snare drum hits after "...six gun" works perfectly, though. I've always gotten a kick out of the GD's take on it, though it could be pretty tepid at times. I'll take The Clash's version over any other.

Yeah, was -2 on the way to work. It happens. "Officially," eh? (wink)

I missed Rich and Luther Dickinson a month or so ago here (school night). I really like his latest album, though.

You should have saved the money from the "handling fees" for a Mediterranean cruise with the family or something.

Carrolls that are not carols:

Also not a carol:

No "Fairytale of New York," eh?

What about Blondie/Debbie Harry, the original white rapper? Or Snow? Or 3rd Bass?

Which brings to mind ELP's take on Copland's "Fanfare for the Common Man" that I only knew the ELP version of until mid-80s.....

Led Zeppelin: Whole Lotta Love (Willie Dixon), Dazed & Confused, In My Time of Dying, etc. Stones: A lot of their early stuff (Little Red Rooster (Willie Dixon), etc.) and their entire new album. I don't think it's silly as Blues is the front-runner/gateway to Rock & Roll and inspired "white" groups like the Beatles, Stones, and LZ. I find it interesting that LZ didn't give credit to the music it "stole" from artists of color, though.

Speaking of Mike Watt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNMhl7YuKEY

Ditto on the Beatles/Stones/Dylan covers, just tossing it out there. I agree on Iko and Women Are Smarter. My list could go on and on, really: Deep Elem, Road Runner, Hey Little One, Dark Hollow, Cold Rain & Snow, The Race is On, Mama Tried, etc., etc., etc......

Can't find any other info on that 1st set. Apparently the entire band wore Nudie suits for this one, though....

^ cool (Brinsley Shwarz). Apropos of nothing (other than the above video reminded me of it at first), check this out (I'll assume you have seen/heard it already,but still, for those who haven't). It's like pre-(proto) Punk era: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHNZUop7OK0

Yeah, Hampton (was there and it was part of a wild 2nd set opener), but Garcia/Grisman used to to do it justice together....

1) No one has ever heard the "Brinsley Schwarz" (if that's even his real name) version. 2) Ditto on that Rev. Gary Davis/"Samson" deal. There's a long list of tunes the GD covered that I had never heard the originals of first, but went back to find after hearing the GD cover them. This, to me, is one of the amazing things about that band: that they delved so deeply into varied genres of music and opened doors/ears to a lot of their fans to other styles/genres/musicians/etc.: Death Don't Have No Mercy (Rev. Gary Davis) Big Boss Man (Jimmy Reed) Morning Dew (Bonnie Dobson) Around and Around (C

Cool. Never watched The Wire but have heard good things. Sopranos was probably my favorite series ever. Lovable, despicable thugs.

Probably first heard that off of The Spaghetti Incident.... They cover "Morning Dew," too...

Speaking of cover songs, I heard/saw King Missile doing (w/ John Hall wearing a gas mask for the vocals) Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's Gone" before I heard the originial. Also, Steve Earle's "Townes" album of all Townes tunes is excellent.

My wife and I talked about starting this series just a couple days ago. Let me know if it's worth it.

Bob Forrest, from Celebrity Rehab!

Just get him a fake I.D. What kind of a father are you?!

I saw Pylon open for REM on the Green tour in Roanoke, VA. Still know very little about them.

Or "Pictures of Matchstick Men."
