Depression is a bitch and I've seen it tear apart seniors. Another possibility at his age is a chronic illness he didn't want to suffer through. I've learned a lot about NASCAR through my father in law, but I don't know anything about Trickle other than his name. Still, RIP.

One of my favorites.

Bob Mould played the Flying V from about '79 to '87 and the Strat ever since. The Strat is where it's at.

This is bad, very bad. Heads will roll @ DOJ. Maybe up to Holder, but you're right. Still too soon.

Not to mention this one, which sounds really chilling and egregious. http://news.yahoo.com/govt-obtains-wide-ap-phone-records-probe-202010831.html

Here's the problem with the right wing media scandal machine: If Benghazi or the IRS or something down the road is worthy of actual scandal status it will go largely ignored because they are the Boy Who Cried Wolf since Jan. 20, 2009.

This seems like blatant advertising, bit I'm cool with playing loose with the rules. I'm ready let loose with some personal insults any time now. I'm looking at you Mountain Bed!

Pretty sure these posts violate something or someone.

I like the 1st 2 LPs too, but that shit's funny.

Well that's about the most absurd thing I've seen in this thread. I'm a big Old 97's fan, but to put the Avetts below them is curious. The Avett's are way more bluegrass and way more raw than the 97's. The only way I see them being compared on any level is that they both have been criticized (probably fairly) for trying to use the sex appeal to gain more mainstream popularity.

Loved that.

Nels could really shred that up nicely.

Not sure what we're expected to say other than the obvious. It's a devastating event. I've said many prayers for the victims and the whole community. I was very confused for a few hours because I thought the explosion was in West Texas (like near Odessa or something) not West, Texas. Also, this story is something. http://gawker.com/5995027/unluckiest-luckiest-man-survives-both-marathon-bombing-and-waco-blast

This seems to either double post or not post at all. Anyway, Mayer's a bit of a tool and a pop diva, but the boy has got chops, no question.

I like Dawes a lot. Listened to the new one today. Very good, but I didn't see much of a departure from the 1st two.

Ima take you word on that one. Not sure I could tolerate that song under any circumstances.

I'd give an exemption for combat veterans.

I've made this point before. Gen X folks (under 50 / over, say 30) should start a movement to push retirement age up to 70 by the time we're there. Most of us have benefited from a time of relative peace (at least when we were prime military age) and prosperity. Our sacrifice could be working a bit longer. Save social security and medicare a shitload of money.

wrong

Replacements - Hootenanny... Punk Rock that was FUN. Not dour and depressing and monotonous. Bob Mould - Workbook... No album seemed more fated to affect me at a particular time and place in my life. Even though I'd been a big Replacements fan for about 43 years when this came out, I never explored Husker Du. Workbook absolutely floored me. Lush, aggressive, personal, melodic, intimate.

Nice walk off for the Twins today.

Totally forgot RAGBRAI. Good call! All the eating and drinking of the State Fair, but much less obesity.

Beautiful pic, Hixter! Iowa Game at U of Iowa's Kinnick Stadium Field of Dreams Iowa State Fair Pappajohn Sculpture Park (worth a google, lots of sweet art) Trout fishing the Upper Iowa in NE Iowa Pheasant hunting is the 1st or 2nd biggest tourist draw.
