Great show on ACL. It aired on my PBS affiliate last night.

Read a bad review today.

Excellent! The kid playing Paul McCartney looks like Frank Whaley did 20 years ago.

Not quite as annoying as this:

The Vikings could just be pretenders. It's a long season, they've had a fairly easy schedule so far, and Brett's not young. That said, they looked better against the Steelers than I expected they would. Having been a Vikings fan all my life, I just keep waiting for the shoe to drop.

Freddy Mercury & David Bowie - Under Pressure.

I've been known to ask my jr. high students in their classic rock t-shirts to name members, songs, or albums of the artists on their shirts. It's amazing how little they know. Even w/ the Beatles revival, many kids IN Beatles shirts can't name more than 1 or 2.

I Write the Songs - Barry Manilow

Excellent. Glad to have that fixed.

Another firefox issue. In the newer versions, if you drag a tab, it will open in a new window. As I browse around quickly on my laptop, I'll often accidentally pick up and drag, opening it in a new window. This has become annoying. I can't find a way to turn this feature off. If anyone knows, I'll be most appreciative.

Funny that a Tin Machine thread just started here.

Elton John & Kiki Dee - "Don't go Breakin' My Heart" Seriously

1st time I saw Wilco in '03, I really didn't know anyone besides Jeff & John. Glenn blew me away! I probably watch him more than anyone. Actually spend the least time watching Jeff.

It was. I'll never watch it again, though, just because I couldn't handle the hardcore scene w/ the broken glass and staple gun.

I remember when Tin Machine 2 came out Musician magazine did a cover story raving about it. I liked the 1st album, I still like much of it. 2 sucked crap. I don't know what they were thinking about Musician magazine. Let's remember, people, that the Sales Bros. rhythm section also gave us "Lust for Life", and for that alone, they belong in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Gimme Fiction was my intro and my favorite. My Mathematical Mind is great.

Yep, it can be tough. I guess that's why God invented smilies!

This was, at worst, a poor attempt of tongue-in-cheek humor. I actually thought it was a somewhat humorous way to make an extremely important point. We are so dependent upon government programs for the elderly (medicare, social security) that when our biggest generation lives on and on, it's going to bankrupt us. It's not the fault of the baby boom generation, and Ikol never said, nor implied, that they should die early. He just explained what's going to happen when they live into their 70s, 80s, and 90s. I see nothing offensive in his post. I hope it's just not because I agree with his

Loved these guys when I was a kid. A friend went to see them in '79 in Des Moines. A very random memory: We just commemorated the 30th anniversary of Pope John Paul II's visit here. I looked it up, because the timing seemed very close. KISS was here 2 days after the Pope.

Ummm... Someone needs to bean A-Rod before this series is over. I'll sleep better.

My brother and his wife went as Kurt and Courtney several years ago. Hilarious.

Woot!! I don't expect the Twins will do too much against the Yankees, but I'm enjoying the moment!

I'm excited for this one.

My kids are 4. Each age has its own joys and struggles! Enjoy!
