  1. Great game on ESPN last night. Twins beat the Yankees! Joe Mauer went deep for the 1st time all year. Delmon(d)?? Young finally showed why we traded for him. 3 RBI doubles!
  2. That reminds me, I recently got the Johnny Cash show on DVD. Great performances by CCR, Clapton, Louis Armstrong, Pete Seeger, and SO many more.
  3. Freakin' Awesome. Took me a couple of seconds to figure out why this was in the election thread.
  4. Actually shook the man's hand about 12 years ago after a show in the Twin Cities. Loved his rectangle guitar. Does anyone else have a beat named after him?
  5. I hope it's not true, either. But I decided long ago to separate a public figure's talents from their personal life. For many years, I held Kirby Puckett up as a role model as a great athlete and person based upon his loyalty to his team and his community. Little did I know the sordid details of his personal life. After that incident, I try my best to remember that we only see a tiny fraction of a public persona's real self. If all of this is true, it's sad, but it doesn't change my appreciation for Murray's body of work.
  6. Saw Sonny 9 years ago in Houston. He can still blow! I doubt I'll make it, but if you can, go!!
  7. If anyone is actively using Pandora, I would be interested in sharing stations. I have 3 stations. One devoted to rock that started w/ the Old 97s, one devoted to jazz that started w/ Sonny Rollins, and one devoted to classical that started w/ JS Bach. PM me w/ your e-mail if you want to swap stations. I'd be curious what other Wilco fans' stations sound like.
  8. V-Roys, just add ice. Man that's a great CD!!
  9. Listening to SBS right now. If I ever produce a game show, I'm using the opening of Shake it Off as the think music!
  10. I can see how YHF can be considered self-indulgent (but still an incredible artistic achievement). Not really Summerteeth. While there are a few noises on it, it's still mostly about the songs. Great summary of how I feel about SBS and the current Wilco lineup, though.
  11. Another good performance from the late Sidney Pollack. A good movie. Liked the ending.
  12. My Pandora station is currently playing the title track off this: mmmm....
  13. Baby monitor w/ low batteries or w/ interference from tv, radio, computer.
  14. I agree with everything in your whole post, but esp. this first paragraph. You took the words right out of my mouth!
  15. He was good in serious roles like "Eyes Wide Shut" (one of the few things I liked in that movie, rare for Kubrick) and in comedic roles as well. His acting in "Tootsie" is as good as his direction. He really got a lot out of Bill Murray in a small role too.
  16. Track 1 on Bryter Layter has some excellent guitar work by Richard Thompson.
  17. I am a causal Dead fan at best and have recently gone broadband. I would be interested in favorite torrents currently available on easy tree or dime. Maybe people's top 2 or 3 in terms of both recording quality and performance.
  18. Just came home from Iron Man. 1st movie in a theater in about 2 years. It was GREAT! Robert Downey was great as was Jeff Bridges. It was a bit hard for me to erase my image of Bridges as Lebowski to imagine him as an evil weapons dealer, but it worked. Can't wait for a sequel. Glad to see Jon Favreau make such a great BIG movie.
  19. Hillary Cites RFK assassination in explaining why she's still in race She's a classy one!
  20. Or seen them singing Madonna numbers at her R&R Hall of Fame induction.
  21. I'm thinking about the Omaha show. I'd be home by like 1:30 or 2:00. I might be too old to handle that.
  22. OK, I deleted the other one since voting was going on here. I was slow to find the delete topic option.
