Woot!

Close the thread! He nailed it.

I don't think a current audience would appreciate Dave and Teri's history, but it would be something. Letterman's heyday matched up well with my HS and colle years (84-92). He shaped my sense of humor almost single-handedly. I've said more than once in the past couple of weeks, "If you ever wondered how I became a sarcastic asshole, blame Dave."

Zwan. Their LP is one of the 2 or 3 best LPs Billy Corgan has made (Gish and Siamese Dream being the others).

That's the only pitch he throws.

Live in Cook County Jail was one of my early record purchases. Probably 1985 or 1986. Listened to it yesterday. He will be missed, but he had a great run!

Fitting for anyone's retirement.

Yep. I remember when Liam refused to participate in Unplugged. Claimed he had a cold, but I think Noel didn't buy it. He rocked on Unplugged. I was surprised he didn't go solo right after that.

The book by Barbara Tuchman is a great read.

Nice thread, Sir. Surprised the Beasties only turned up once on your list. 5 (1975) - Beatles, but also Sesame Street as Lammy helped remind me. 10 (1980) - KISS 15 (1985) - Bowie 20 (1990) - Bob Mould 25 (1995) - Bob Mould / Sugar 30 (2000) - Miles Davis 35 (2005) - Wilco 40 (2010) - Wilco

This changes frequently, but Workbook's been at the top of the list for 26 years now. Bob Mould - Workbook Jason Isbell - Southeastern David Bowie - Low Richard & Linda Thomspon - Shoot out the Lights Velvet Underground - Loaded

Fantastic!

I watched that yesterday. I'm pretty sure I thought it was a white guy who pitched the no-hitter on acid. What a tremendous story and life that guy led. Also, the Twins spanked the shit out of the White Sox this weekend and are above .500!

I just heard " Beautiful " off From Berkeley to Bakersfield this morning. Immediate favorite. Maybe not top 5, but great.
