Let's not forget the namesake of the magazine making the seemingly random selections, too: The Rolling Stones, a band based and formed on the Blues classics/sound and who still can kick a nice Blues jam these days. I've got no problem with white folks playing Blues, just with shitty music.

As well as such luminaries as: Jerry Springer, Peter Tork, George Segal, Kim Novak, Baseballers Hal Chase and Sal Bando, Stockard Channing, and Bess Truman! Not to mention, NHL'er Mats Sundin, NFLer Charlie Garner, and public spewer of words Henry Rollins. Also, Dutch set designer Harry Wich! And let's not forget former FBI Most Wanted notable Hong Kong murderer David Puilum Choi! Happy Birthday, David! In addition, you share a birthday with New Order bassist Peter Hook, Congas/percussion master for Haircut 100-Mark Fox!, Freedom Williams from C+C Music Factory (Everybody Dance Now!!!!

When John Mayer stops by to mow my lawn in a few years I'll probably hook him up with a lemonade. If he does a decent job, of course.

"Grease Box" still rocks, all these years later.

He should have it already....

If Jeff had his arm around me it'd be my favorite, too. But maybe not so much. Or something. My favorite Tweedy "look" is however he looks while I'm seeing him play live music.

Mission of Burma were huge. Their latest tour/album have been quite up to snuff. I personally don't dig their shit. But, I appreciate their input.

I'd prolly blow it all off and go to my boy's bar(s). Always good tunes at Dulcinea's, Quixote's, and Cervante's. And the jukebox at Sancho's is justice. If'n you dig that scene, of course.

I've been all over Car Wheels on a Gravel Road all night.... Sweet Lu.

No, thank you.

Will this be sponsered by Cadillac?

I've only given it a brief once-through, but find it at par with all the classic Dino, Jr. stuff they've done. It sounds like they haven't missed a step. It's great to hear them together again making great tunes.

Andy Summers is about the same age (maybe older?) than Keith and Mick, and Sting/Copeland aren't far behind. What's age got to do with how hard you rock out though, right? Keith would undoubtedly be the last one standing, though, as he's reportedly made of Kryptonite.

For shear number of shows played, alone. The Dead were not consistantly selling out shows until the late 80s/early 90s. I'd venture to bet the Stones have been selling out shows since the early 70s. I'd bet the Dead come close.

I have a hard time picturing The Police filling places like Giants Stadium, is all. Sure there's a market for them, but are enough people going to sit in enormous stadiums to make it worth their while? With the age-group, I have doubts. I could very well be wrong, though. Time will tell. As I've stated, and others, I'd love to see them again but definitely will not be attending a huge stadium show. I wonder how many others out there feel the same....

I actually wonder if they'll be able to fill the stadiums. I'm sure they've done projections, etc. but is there a big enough market of folks willing to spend money on pricey tix (stadium protocol) to see a band that's notorius for being mediocre in concert, reunion or not, in cavernous venues? The target audience will be around 35-45 yr. olds, I'd imagine. I'm not so sure.... I realize bands like The Who and The Stones don't have problems filling stadiums with the same target audience, but they're The Who and The Stones....

Just an update about the DirecTV/MLB/EI impending deal: rejoice Canucks! Our neighbors to the north need not fear having their baseball messed with in terms of EI, as DirecTV is unavailable in Canada (they get to order EI through whatever means they choose). Though no other news in the upcoming week, apparently: http://www.bizofbaseball.com/index.php?opt...0&Itemid=52 I'm thinking about slingbox or moving to Canada, whichever's cheaper. Or maybe sucking it up and switching.... Also: Curt Schilling revealed on WEEI last week that he no longer will be retiring at the end of the 2007 s

Exactly. When the person "coming out" calls a press conference to alert the media, should the media turn a blind eye? Maybe. But it ain't the media's fault.

HEY-O!!! Happy Birthday!

Sports icons shill all the time for products, particularly sports equipment (notably basketball shoes, but also diet stuff, hair loss, erection dysfunction, etc). T.v./movie stars do it all the time too (wanna buy some insurance from Wilfred Brimley, or whatever the hell that ol' bastard is hocking?). Writers/artists: Hunter Thompson and Ralph Steadman shill (-ed) for Flying Dog Beer. I wonder if Hemingway was ever approached to do ads for Mepps Lures if he'd have turned down the offer. I see no difference with musical artists lending their tunes to whatever worthwhile/worthless corpora

I'm betting it'll be a medley deal combining a lot of the hits (Roxanne, Don't Stand So Close To Me, Message in a Bottle, etc.). With the limited time that'll be given to them they'll be asked to cover as much as possible in the allotted time. "Everybody's happy" with the tune selection in these cases.

Honestly, it doesn't bother me anymore hearing popular tunes in commercials. I've said it before, but: this is modern marketing. Great songs are pimped in movies, on network t.v. shows, and yes, commercials these days. With music technology the way it is (Napster/cd-burning/etc.) artists are turning to more mainstream options for revenue. My take? Hey, it's your tune. Sure, make some money off it. Use it to sell golf clubs or soup if you want. Just don't blame me when I tire of your tune and your motivations....
