Wow1 That Gunners/Milan match was gripping. Excellent performance by Arsenal. That strike by Fabregas was all individual effort. A cracker. I am a Bolton supporter through and through but I certainly enjoy watching Arsenal play. Congratulations to the Gunners supporters. Now come on the Trotters Thursday against Sporting. Quarterfinals for us too1

I used to work with a guy. A literal and figurative child of the 60's. A huge Beatles fan. BUT he had no use for anything post-Revolver except a few radio hits. It was unbelieveable. If you only get into poppy hooks, you only get into poppy hooks.

Oh, hell no1 I agree. They should have played 'The thanks I Get' and 'What Light'. Except one of them isn't on the album...

Nice one. The thing is though, someone that only likes poppy rock isn't going to like Wilco.

I am also perplexed. Those of you saying that tickets have been tough to get the last year or 2... that hasn't been my experience until this tour. I saw Wilco September 1st and 2nd in Denver, general admission, and got tickets as easily as always. The same for Atlanta this past June when I was able to get my usual great reserved seats through the presale. I saw them several times in 2006 and had no trouble getting great seats. But for the Residency, I was shut out. When I switched my choice to Charleston, I was able to get the worst seats, literally, in the venue. I wonder if it this tours tro

I love being able to watch the new episode early on Monday instead of waiting until Sunday. This week's ratchets it up a notch from the Omar episode. Arguably, the best show in the history of TV.

I was searching for a thread to express this in and this one seems to be the only one vaguely appropriate. It is really starting to hit me now. My wife and I would have rolled into Charleston awhile ago. Shit. We would have had this lovely drive, I love driving, listening to shuffle or roadtrip playlists, conversatin' some and smiling alot. pulling into the cheap ass dive hotel, close to the PAC... Whew. It isn't easy typing. This was supposed to make up for her Residency birthday surprise when the scalpers took hold due to, I already posted about that bullshite method. It's tough. If we'd

I just clicked in to recommend Wild Man Blues only to find that, of course, Beltmann, whose film knowledge and insights have always astounded me, got there first. A great doc though. Highly recommended

Thanks. Your post is appropriate as your av resembles a drugged out Robby Steinhardt.

Speaking of the moderators, the locked thread posts from the SNL thread were the spark, I would like to comment. go go, msyvon and preferredB have all been very gracious, objective, honest and welcoming toward me in PMs. I want them to know that I greatly appreciated it. I guess that mods are kind of mod, in a transitioning from teddy boy kind of way.

Thanks to all trying to make me feel welcome. It was welcoming. Please don't take this the wrong way but in my experience you don't have to survive alot of hell to make it on a board, even if you disagree. I am not trying to start it all up again. "Other bomb throwers" means that you feel that I was throwing bombs. I guess that's the basic disagreement that caused all the trouble. But such is life. I appreciate the words. Let's let this unpleasantness drift into the ether. See you.

Again, not my experience of normalcy nor is that what I did. As far as farrar, please go read about my VC adventure. I chose not to post things here because I knew htat it was verboten to criticize. I wasn't trying to hidde anything. It is appropriate there but not here. Big deal. Thank you all for the grabbing the olive branch. I'll likely go back to being the wilco fan that is a s big a fan as anyone on VC but doesn't post there. If you are ever at a Wilco/Tweedy/Jay/Volt/Gob Iron/B Rox show, I'll be the guy wearing a black Johnny Cash flippin' the bird T shirt that says FUCK UNCLE TUPELO. S

I missed it. Thanks. It would have been nice to have seen something in Nashville thread, not from you, youmay not have read it.. We obviously have things in common. I assume that Wilco is your favorite band too. I have only complained about Charleston over an over because people call me out. And I'll be happy to reply. Again, my message board experience is very different. Not better, just different. I am on the verge of just ah, forget it.

That sums up my experience, Reni.

Thanks for the kind reply. Now maybe someone will reply to other posts in other threads. I've talked about my Wilco history, how I came to SBS, my feelings for the music, hoping to find tickets to a show, seeing Roy acuff at the ryman as a youngster, etc. Not that I am fishing for attention but other folks posts get responded to either empathetically, "hey cool', 'thanks', constructive criticism, etc. I have been sincerely trying to become a part of the board. Other than the soccer thread, the only reponses I get are negative. In my cyber-experience, peole are welcomed regardless of their opin

In my message board experience, it is quite normal. I have noticed it here also.

If you honestly believe this, I think that you need to take a step back. I believe that you are simply trying to wind me up, though.

I do not need attention. I did the same thing many of you do. I read something on the board that I thought was wacky, responded to it and was amazed that no one else found the statement outlandish. Normal internet message board behavior.

Thank you!! You are the first people who are in favor of the cancellation to at least admit that it wasn't the only possible outcome. I appreciate your candor.

Megson himself said that all of the money spent in the transfer window was money that they already had and that the 15 mill was there for the summer window. That is great news. I am glad to meet you. Cheers!!

116 users active and I can't get a witness or an amen of the simple fact that Wilco had a choice in the SNL matter. Up is down, black is white, etc. etc.

Who's greed???

Come on ya'll!!! Saturday Night Live didn't make 'our' band do anything!!! Even if someone feels that the cancellation was the right move, can we at least agree that Wilco had a choice in the matter????

As long as it's because a member or members are unable to play due to illness, family emergency or too much drugs/drink, they wouldn't be jerks for canceling. That would only be true if they canceled for a 'better' gig. Don't be so hard on Wilco.

Unfortunately, though many will likely find it fortunate, I was unable to find reasonable tickets on ebay, craigslist or broker sites. None of any price materialized here. Therefore we won't be able to meet ya'll and no birthday Wilco roadtrip for my wife to any venue. Enjoy the show. The last time I was at the Ryman, I was in elementary school and saw Roy Acuff with my folks. It is a special venue.
