Led Zeppelin - Fool In The Rain Stones - Rain Fall Down

So...do you know something? Are there going to be other Midwest shows after their Europe tour? Or am I reading too much into that comment?

I watch very, very little TV. I'm also not a late night person. So, between cooking, cleaning (usually just the kitchen...I don't put much effort into cleaning other rooms), taking the dog for a long walk, arguing ("talking") with the kids (all teenagers +), or just talking with my wife, I don't have a lot of do-nothing time after work and before I go to bed. When I do sit down, I usually pick up a book.

"My boyfriend just got a bicycle tire between his ass cheeks"

Like maybe this? Huh! Well whaddya know...? This internet thing...I'm tellin' ya.....

Recently finished: John Adams by David McCullough. A great book. McCullough really ties the people and events together into a spellbinding read. Now reading: Treasure Island by Bob L. Stevenson. Was looking for an easy to read adventure. Only problem is that, in my mind all the characters look like the Muppets. Currently not reading again; Absalom, Absalom! by William Faulkner. This book has been sitting on my shelf for a number of years, but I can't get passed the first page; maybe the first paragraph. I've never read any Faulkner; anybody have any insight? Is it worth the effort?

Makes me think "I was gonna start a thread...." About 6 weeks or so ago, I stuck in On Every Street after not listening to it for awhile. It stayed in my player for a month or so. I remember thinking "I should start a thread on VC; I don't read much about Dire Straits". Used to crank up "Twistin by the Pool" and "Industrial Disease" in college. Like some have mentioned, I got burned out on Brothers in Arms due to the constant air play of some of those songs. But their first album, Making Movies, Love Over Gold...very good. I'm not much of a fan of overly-long songs, but Telegraph Road

I try to give up beer during Lent. Well, alcohol in general, but beer makes up about 99.9% of my consumption. I have more will power in some years than in others. This year I'm determined to be strong (easy to say with still a few days before Ash Wednesday). Easter is always such a l l l o o o o n n n g g g g time away....

I started reading this a few years ago, put it down and kind of forgot about it. Picked it up again recently and can't imagine how I ever forgot about it the first time.

Thanks, Gogo, for getting the picture. That dust cloud on the cover is just amazing. I can't imagine living in that environment...for years, as many did.

The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl by Timothy Egan. Sorry, can't figure out how you guys post pictures of the cover... Really good. If you like history and what it was like to deal with this catastrophe (the dust bowl). I'm about half way through. By the way, checking out this thread over the past few months or so has gotten me back into reading some, which I used to enjoy a bunch but had gotten out of the habit. So...Thanks VC! Besides this one, I have two or three other books that I'm at various stages of reading. I'd forgotten

Saw this while zipping through downtown Indy on I-65. I figure this is the place where the guys get all their gear (guitars, picks, stage equipment, tour bus decor, etc)

So I walk into my Dad's house this past Saturday morning, oh, maybe 10am-ish. He's there by himself and, as usual, has his radio on in the kitchen. And, as usual, it's on at a kinda-sorta high volume. So I walk into the kitchen where Dad is slicing up bell peppers to put into canning jars. He's slicing up these peppers and the radio is playing on the not-quite-loud-but-on-the-upper-end-of-normal volume and what do I hear? Dad's slicing peppers and the radio is playing and the song is "I Can't Stand It". So, not only is that strange by itself, a Wilco song coming from a radio station that

Huh...well, there ya go! And no mention of Al Pacino...

Wait...so its Al Pacino doing the calling in BBN? And he's screaming "Thank you" instead of "Pick up!"??? Man, I was way off the mark....

So I read on here that Jeff said Bull Black Nova is about a guy who just killed his girlfriend, right? If that's what the song is supposed to be about, then who do you think he's calling at the end? Who is he trying to get to "Pick up! Pick up!"? The police? Doesn't seem like it since earlier he says "They're coming up the shoulders. What have they found? I wonder if they know". Seems like that's the police he's talking about. Maybe a friend or something, since he can't think and can't calm down? I guess my first thought was that he's calling the girlfriend hoping that she'll pick up

This is the best thread I've read in a long time.

Huh, I'll be damned...that worked. Thanks. I'm not sure where I missed this part of the instructions, but thanks for getting me on track.

I'm still getting the "sorry for the inconvenience" screen when trying to get the bonus tracks. I was able to download the DC show, but not the 20 songs from the dvd since it won't let me register. Is this just me? I've been trying since Sunday morning with no luck.

I thought they were supposed to be available through 4/27. So why they're not available today is driving me nuts! Anyone have any ideas?

Same here. I put it off to do other things, knowing I'd be able to get to it this morning. Now I'm flippin' out! I hope this gets fixed soon....

Still nothing this morning; a blank screen. Rats. What's up.

It looked like Pat was trying to come all the way across the stage to get in Nels' face, except his guitar cord wouldn't reach that far.

I'm sure I saw a taper set up near the back where we were.

My brother and I definitely had a fun time at a great show. I agree that early-on they seemed kind of flat or subdued or...something. The encores really made up for it though. I am puzzled at the lack of new songs or some kind of change up. I don't see Wilco enough to be tired of hearing anything live (last night was my 4th show), so not a complaint, just wondering why they're holding back. We stuck around after the show and saw Pat (someone was nice enough to take our picture for us), John, and Glen, but I don't have much (any) conversation abilities around these guys, so didn't think to
