Just started. A friend gave it to me for Xmas. I think like many comedians' material, it's better heard than read. Just from reading the prologue I'm thinking he could've benefited from a ghost writer (or a better one if he already used one) or a more active editor.

I have a friend hosting a 2nd annual pajama party. Kids aged 8 & under come in their pajamas and eat mac & cheese while watching a movie through and LCD projector projected onto a bedsheet. The grown ups eat grown up food and drink grown up drink (my contributions are Bourbon County Stout and Anchor Steam Holiday). Home by 8:30, probably, asleep by oh... 11.

Oh crap, they're one of my absolute favorites!!

Bands whose numbers reflect (accurately or not, Ben Folds Five) the number of people in the band are probably exempt from the rule.

Sum 41, Blink 182, Matchbox Twenty. Only 2 exceptions come to mind immediately: U2, 10,000 Maniacs. I'm sure there are plenty more that are awful and plenty more that are good. Let's hear 'em.

Freedom might be the greatest comeback record ever, IMO! Also LOVE Ragged Glory, Harvest Moon & Sleeps w/ Angels. Really like Prairie Wind. Sometimes appreciate Arc/Weld, but regret spending so much to get the full box set. There are some tremendous songs on Mirror Ball, but I hardly ever listen to it. I think 1989-1994 is as strong of an era as Neil has had. Of course, I was but a youngster in the 70s (born in 1970) so I didn't get to fully appreciate his other material as new releases.

I didn't notice it. I'm a big fan of both songs, so now I feel silly. When I listened, my daughter said the Cure song sounded like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePrP8t56eww

Pretty much nailed that there!

Missed it because of the thread name, and possibly its location.

RIP. Don't have any of his CDs, but plenty he plays on. Mostly Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers and Coltrane.

Hmmm... Plays well when it doesn't matter, chokes when it does, has a thing for blonde pop stars... I don't see any similarity at all. A couple of differences, Romo seems like a decent guy. There was a story recently about him taking a homeless guy to a movie. Also, despite all Romo's been through, he has stated accessible to the press and his fans.

Great songwriter/cheesy performer.

That's cool, but I would maintain that liking Neil comes w/ more guilt than liking James. Just my opinion, but the cheese factor and tight pants (not to mention Will Ferrell) add up the guilt factor.

Can't be underrated. Some GREAT songs for a "kids" album. I may be in the minority, but I love his contributions to the Singles soundtrack. Esp. Waiting for Somebody.

The wife goes in at 1 PM. Then I'm stay-at-home dad for the week!

No guilt required. He's a fine songwriter and performer. A bit cheesy and mellow, but c'mon, it's not like he's Neil Diamond.

Vikings are NFC North Champs!! Woo hoo!! I was so prepared for the worst today and they almost delivered, but I'm excited anyway. Doubly excited that we don't have to play my wife's Cowboys next week so we won't have any domestic discord. Bears fans, I feel your pain. I've been there many, many times.

VIBES!!

I think the affiliates show the reruns of their choice when there's no new show.

I wasn't at the Val Air show, but if memory serves me correct (someone with more patience can look through the threads), there were no cameras spotted there. I don't care what material is on the DVD as I like SBS as much as anything else. Having said that, since they "rehearsed" all their material during the residency in preparation of this tour, my guess is it will be quite a variety. Almost guaranteed to include "It's Just That Simple".

Thanks for the link. Listened to the preview. Bad Plus w/ vocals will take some getting used to.
