Marco Rubio is getting ever closer to becoming the Republican nominee. Still voting for Bernie, but this is gonna be a nail biter. LouieB

Very sad. As we have said many times before, with the years accumulating on the musicians of the 60s and 70s we are going to see a lot of folks passing. LouieB

I think we can all see where November is headed. Clinton vs. Rubio. Kudos to Bernie for doing so well in Iowa and he will certainly win in New Hampshire, but after that its going to far more difficult. Meanwhile Rubio's third place puts him way ahead of the other mainstream candidates and he will certainly come out on top when all is said and done. LouieB

Nice. You can also pick up most of his older CDs really cheap through the Amazon independent dealers. LouieB

The two new ones this year are good. LouieB

Jesse is a good (to great) solo act in a small club. Plays in the Springsteen vein and tells interesting stories. See him if you can. When he plays Chicago (which is a couple times a year) he never sells-out the venue. LouieB

What a strange coincidence. LouieB

Can you stand this? I am back with a mixtape show January 30 at 7-9 AM central time on WNUR. I will be playing material from recently deceased musicians, crazy singles about UFOs (in honor of the return of the X-Files), Dylan bootleg (Cutting edge),, County Records, Tortoise, some jazz, maybe some music for Black History Month, and a few other things I think of before early tomorrow morning. WNUR.org or 89.3 in Chicago. It's gonna be early fun. LouieB

I'm not saying that. I think every effort was made NOT to shoot these fuckers. But clearly every court in the country will back up law enforcement officer that seems to have any reason to shoot someone. The fact that no one was shot up to this point shows great restraint. Some idiot with a fire arm on their person that makes any false move is gonna be toast. Everyone gets to be a martyr for their own cause I guess. LouieB

Time to wrap this thing up. Needless to day if anyone made any false moves they were going to get shot. LouieB

We used to call it Blows.... I wonder what China is doing now. Another sad day. JA was my favorite SF band by far. The Airplane were a great band which gets little recognition any more. LouieB

There is a short article on them in the New Yorker this week. LouieB

Completely or are there still guys holding down the bird sanctuary? Can't wait to see the news. LouieB

How was the debate last night? Although I am a Bernie supporter I am so tempted to vote for O'Malley. (depending on how it is going by the time our primary comes around.) LouieB

Don't the songwriters get more money just by being the songwriters and getting those royalties? LouieB

How about that Sarah Palin endorsement of Trump. Watching the full speech is well worth your time. Check it out (just not here.) LouieB

Very sad. My Facebook lit up mid afternoon with the news. He had Wilco ties and was a great musician and songwriter in his own right. LouieB

Thanks for the wrap up. Finally watched that Trump vid. Wow. LouieB

Yea agreed. Just wondered if anyone bothered to watch this mess. I was busy with something more fun last night. LoieB

How did Trump do last night?? LouieB

Back again this weekend on the Classical and Beyond show. This week featuring modern Hungarian composers Bartok, Ligeti, Kodaly, and Kurtag. Interesting names and interesting music. No Lizst planned. Check it out Saturday at 1-4 PM central time on WNUR.org. Seriously, this is fun. LouieB

Wow, I have The Idiot and I didn't realize that. I will have to pull it out and play it. Time as moved on and some songs become sort of un-PC over time. LouieB

Lemmy led off a string of significant music deaths ending with Bowie, but including Paul Bley, Pierre Boulez, and Otis Clay. LouieB

Yea, carpet bomb them. Good thinking.(Fucking crazy.) I watched the speech too. I will sincerely miss Obama for his excellent speaking ability. The dude can really put one over. There is no one running (I mean no one) who is going to be able to put across ideas and concepts as well as Barack. Everyone else sounds like the constant clanging of a bell (that includes the two people I WOULD vote for.) LouieB

Well we now have a chance to elect Trump/Rubio/Cruz. Things are going to be way better after that. LouieB
