Don't forget, this recession has caused plenty of private sector workers to give much more than a pound of flesh.

Sonny Rollins is still around, but I'm going to mention him, because he's old and I am very glad I got to see him 12 years ago.

I have no opinion about the specific issues in Wisconsin. I am a fiscally conservative public employee who has benefited from collective bargaining rights. I am, in no way defending the bill in Wisconsin OR the position of the protesters. I just think there are several weak points in this post. 2. The federal deficit has little to to with the state deficit. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are incredibly expensive, but not really tied to a state's deficit. 3. Who CARES how the Packers feel?? Oh, wait, it's Wisconsin. Of course people who became millionaires in part through collective

I saw the Glass Spider tour too. Holy crap, was that bad. Did catch the Sound & Vision tour which was simple & elegant and featured Adrian Belew on guitar.

I didn't realize that Tim Tebow sings for Mumford & Sons until the Grammys. I was disappointed that my children's favorite, Justin Roberts, lost to Pete Seeger for best children's music album. It's something like Seeger's 6th Grammy and he should have many, many more, so I'm glad he won, but JR's Jungle Gym is full of great melodies and performances that anyone of any age can appreciate. Probably linked to this vid before, but it's freakin' awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTpHAbuEQac

Woot!

Springsteen was freakin' awesome in that.

Don't know when this was taken. I think he's aged well, as long as he avoids the stupid make up look. And what's up with 80s indie music icons who are gay going bald and growing beards??

I go Thursday.

This reminds me of a comment Jeff made at a show in West Des Moines before SBS came out: "Here's another mid-tempo rocker from Wilco."

Does the executor of Harry Caray's estate know that Mikael stole Harry's glasses?

There are some great songs (One Wing, My Country Disappeared), but some not so great (You And I, Everlasting Everything [their worst, IMO]) and very, very bland production. I think BBN is a poor attempt to recapture the KrautRock vibe of Spiders. Overall, it's their weakest album. I like it better than many do, but it is their weakest, I think.

I will tune in. Mike Judge rarely fails miserably. I think it'll be good for a chuckle.

This is exactly why I may skip this movie.

A friend also couldn't put it down. It's on my list.

Oh geez. When I saw him a couple of years ago, you could tell he was really down on his luck (actually, more lack of ambition than luck). I hope his new CD put enough $$ in his pocket to help him recover from this.

I would think years of smoking is also a necessary ingredient, but I could be wrong.

For wanting a reason for your opinion?

'nuff said.

I am not asking this in jest. Is Andrew Sullivan still a conservative? It seems like most of what I read (usually through GON, but sometimes I happen upon his stuff elsewhere) is anti-Republican stuff. Is he for reining in spending, lowering taxes, balancing the budget, gun rights, an aggressive foreign policy, ending abortion rights, "traditional marriage"? Now I consider myself conservative, but don't agree with everything on this list. Does he agree with any? eta: Has he basically gone through a Huffington-like transformation?

The evidence may or may not turn out. Your perception of this guy's motives have very little to do with his actual motives. Let the investigation continue before you jump to conclusions. As far as the quote from the Sullivan blog, I would say this: What some random, anonymous internet person says these women said sickens me.

I wouldn't expect to be inspired by a Super Bowl halftime show.
