Twisted Acres

A night I won't forget anytime soon... absolutely off da hook!!!!!!! Yes, puppy voice is a frustrating, debilitating condition that even the finest allergy medications that science has to offer cannot hold off... I felt much better the following morning, and I still wouldn't trade having Winston (sooz's adorable puppy) sound asleep on my lap for an hour for my voice at 2:30am. He's just too cute. It was an honor to get to play and sing with Mr. Tweedy. Thank you immensely for that, sir. I think I'll have to retire "Try a Little Tenderness" from the NYC Campfire shows... I mean, it just

We'll defer that question to Detective Ron Tugnutt, CPD.

And so begins the rest of his life never having to buy a meal in New England, seeing that he was the guy on the mound when they obliterated The Curse.

I hope that someone misunderstands and arrives dressed for an 1890s party. See you guys Saturday!

*swoon*

aw, judes, that pre-sale took place yesterday, (no luck on tix for me). And yes, if you stroll downtown along 7th avenue past the west end of macy's towards the Village, you'll see in big block letters, "M A D I S O N S Q U A R E F U C K I N G G A R D E N"... It's the BEST! General sale for a bunch of the shows is 2/20... For more info, check out The brand-new, first-ever-official Police website

always difficult to choose (pet sounds? revolver? something/anything? regatta de blanc? yhf? innervisions?), but whenever forced to do so, I always end up going with

Happiest of birthdays to you, my dear Psychic Sibling! I think that one up front is an authentic Doughnut Plant pistachio doughnut... xoxo and see you this weekend (weather gods willing! )

i guess these may not be considered rock, but what the hell did you expect coming from me: 1 - Marvin Gaye 2 - Otis Redding 3 - Sam Cooke 4 - Aretha Franklin 5 - Ray Charles 6 - James Brown 7 - Sam Moore 8 - Mavis Staples 9 - Curtis Mayfield 10 - Jackie Wilson many, many honorable mentions...

if you're already a member of best buy's reward zone program (lucky me I already am!), you can get presale as well, but only for one show, and only for 2 tickets.

Total fan boy... now if I only had $15,000 for one of those teles.

god they're so loose at this point, but it's so much fun to hear them like this. It's almost sad that they're gonna be so polished come summer. First date of tour: 5/28 in Vancouver (my 40th birthday )

also, andy's playing the Fender Andy Summers Tribute Telecaster... #1 of only 250 made. Exact in every detail, down to the phase toggle switch, the pre-amp toggle, and the extra overdrive knob down beneath the standard volume and tone pots. ha! they're calling out the changes!

they said they're gonna play some stuff they've never played... no one on stage besides the 3 of them... and it is SO MUCH FUN to hear them stumbling their way through "Can't stand losing You"... just like watching a rehearsal, totally goofing around, but it's great.

Never got to see them and never thought I would... I'm going.

God I hope not, but I can't help but feel you're right

I gave up after getting 13... not two brite

Happy belated, Allison... hope it was a grand one!

all the best!

I'd love to hear them do "Can't Stand Losing You", but in the way they used to do live with "Regatta De Blanc" incorporated in the middle... but that's just wishful thinking. Maybe they'll do "Dash 7."

ha ha! In Jeff's defense, that's me butchering the solo. I warned him that I didn't know it, and you hear him egg me on saying "c'mon!", and of course I butcher it as promised. Go w/DADGAD tuning, and just feel your way through it, it's not tough to figure out once you're in DADGAD.
