Yep, and the WB one aren't much better. It's a shame because it's such fantastic music. Not sure what remastering could accomplish, but it will never happen.

Is there some reason we're mourning his death 5 1/2 years after it happened? I shook his hand once after a show. True story.

I have developed a soft spot for Wrecking Ball due only to this: http://youtu.be/y2PDE47w6Dk

I like good lyrics, but they're certainly not essential. If some mundane lyrics are combined with music that conveys an emotion or feeling, then that's fine. Here's a great clip of Steve Allen poking fun of rock and roll lyrics: They are ridiculous lyrics, but it's a great song. Would that song be enhanced by lyrics from Bob Dylan, Lou Reed, Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, or, say, Robert Frost? No. A song is a whole. If it moves me, it moves me. Some lyrics are worth analyzing, but mostly not.

I started 11/22/63 a week ago and have about 80 pages left. First King I've ever read. Probably not the last. Damn fun read!

It's okay. It's a forum. A place for back and forth.

Neil may not be as talented at writing lyrics as Dylan, but he has an incredible knack for combining his music and lyrics for maximum emotional impact. Down by the River, Tonight's the Night, After the Goldrusjh, and I could go on and on.

I really enjoy Wilco live, but I don't reach the same level of fervor I've reached at other shows. Maybe during Via Chicago. Bob Mould and Richard Thompson solo acoustic have taken me to heights of religious ecstasy numerous times.

Nothing wrong with KIsS. My boy's a big fand and that has turned him on to other hard rock acts. It's a helluva lot better than the Disney schlock his sister likes. But, damn, have you heard Answering Machine?

That Don Draper is one smart motherfucker.

Acceptance is the first step to recovery.

Wikipedia says you're right. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Velvet_Underground

Thank you. Westerberg is a helluva songwriter. I'm too much of a chickenshit to have ever seriously considered ending it all a sateen, but Westerberg told me you're not alone and life can still be fun. I was hoping they'd go in w/ KISS if only to imagine them all doing Black Diamond.

Generic canned tomato soup + chorizo + sriracha = delicious.

I like about 90% of what my principal does. There are things he does that aggravate me, but I take it in stride because I have learned that the grass isn't always greener. I've never truly despised any boss.

I think when most people use humor in this thread, and on the board in general, it's usually to lighten the mood or to try to point out thinking or ideas they think is flawed through satire. While it admittedly takes a personal tone from time to time, I think it's a waste of one's energy to get upset about what nearly anonymous people say about you. Also, as Don Draper pointed out, you're on pretty shaky ground with your claim of getting out once it gets negative.

I would like to hear live versions of HMD w/o the drum machine intro and A Shot in the Arm w/o the synth noise intro.

A 22 year old kid would, in most cases, live in an apartment and buy a used car. He got a new house and car. Jobs.

Not only are the employing you, they've helped create jobs in the auto and housing industries. Not to mention that they're wonderful enough to pay you an above average income.

Via Chicago. The noise is so damn good live.

Sometimes. Also: any Bob Mould, Replacements, Bowie, Reed/VU, Beatles, Richard Thompson

John Goodman? If only because the Coen Bros. almost always cast him.

This.

A.J. is thoroughly entertaining. I wish he was heading back to the Twins with Mauer moving to 1st.
