Bob Barr, Chuck Baldwin, Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader and Ron Paul should hold their own debate and talk amongst themselves. Really none of them have anything to bring to the table until after the election. No one on the far right has any doubt now that they should vote McCain/Palin; it still just floors me that the left thinks that a non-player should get votes and deny the leftish candidate the office. Just amazing... LouieB

If I can convince just one person that McCain shouldn't be president that is important. I find it strange that after two close elections, both resulting in George W. Bush, that anyone would sit this one out, unless they really feel that the policies of the Bush years, that will be continued by President Palin (if she even knows what they are...) are a good idea. LouieB

Then who is the right person? John McCain? Because you know...only one of them can win... LouieB

Not sure what is left to talk about.... Is there anyone here who hasn't made up their mind?? If so speak up now and let's try and convince you, because everyone else knows what they are going to do. LouieB

Actually propably the exact opposite is true (or something else is true is true is true....), Wilco played Lollapalooza so they are contractually obligated NOT to play Chicago until later in the fall....fall....fall...fall...fall.... LouieB

Supreme Court?? LouieB

I love the part of the Palin interview where she says you can see Russian from part of Alaska. That is going to help alot.... LouieB

Although it has been dissed on the other thread about it, the Hideout Block Party is still one of the coolest events for the hipster crowd in Chicago. Even at the exorbitant $25 a day (its a benefit) it is worth it... LouieB

Only on the first chapter..I guess I better get off here and go back to reading.... LouieB

Really...it is all day and includes many acts. It is also a benefit which means some money needs to be made after expenses so that the beneficiaries actually benefit by it. Not sure what that other guy's beef is. LouieB

There must be an echo in here..... LouieB

Yikes I forgot about the Byrds Royal Albert Hall Concert we were talking about a few months back that I was at. Anyone heard this?? We are forgetting just a ton of groups really. Still like Poco myself....of that era. Jason and the Scorchers, Beat Farmers Lone Justice, etc. somewhat later. LouieB

Indie rock super-group...got it....not Wilco... LouieB

One of my favorite current comments from Savage Love this week.... LouieB Savage Love 9/11 "Speaking of hot teenagers and asshole parents and vows that you may come to regret... The 17-year-old daughter of Sarah Palin, the GOP's vice-presidential nominee, is pregnant. The news was released by the McCain camp during a busy week

Did I mention this is September 20 and 21? Okay it is I think. LouieB

Yea, I saw her back when she first started getting famous at the Vic....I do believe Sue Miller booked that show. Sue brought her to Chicago before she was famous to the West End, maybe...long time ago. LouieB

Better than me I am sure, but I like that song too..... Blue Mountain...coming to Chicago next month I believe...okay I am outta here...bedtime. LouieB

...and the friendliest and most fun as far as I am concerned. Samorama didn't post that Lauries is selling merch there (I am helping...). Everyone needs to stop by and say hi. Here is the line-up. Saturday 11:30a Plastic Crimewave's Vision Celestial Guitarkestra 12:30 Wee Hairy Beasties 1:15 The KatJon Band 1:45 Giant Sand 2:45 Little Cow Hungary 3:45 Dan le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip UK 4:30 Plastic People of the Universe Czech Republic 5:30 Monotonix Israel 6:00 Neil Hamburger

So long as you like Wilco there is always hope. Have we met before in real life?? You know Beck right??? On now?? Sex Crimes (for all those NOT listening...) LouieB

Yikes man.....The Band?? Big influence on Wilco...I realize you are a youngblood, but time to pick up on some older stuff, particularly Dylan and the Band. We are the only ones both up and on VC at the moment....pretty funny.....and you are in Chicago too??? LouieB

You must know the BAnd...on now... LouieB

That one was not on the official release. It is a song by Utah Phillips, who recently died. A standard in the folk world. LouieB

Yea...i dont think she knows anyone is listening...utah PHillips song... LouieB
