When I was interviewing the guys from NC band Dillon Fence (really, really cool guys), Exene Cervenka popped her head into the dressing room to say hi. (They were opening for X.) Seemed friendly and nice, but I wouldn't say that I actually talked to her... just said hi back.

Oh yeah, almost forgot: Larry Damore (Pegboy/Bophal Stiffs) -- One of my old bands shared a bill with his roommate's band at the time. I had seen Pegboy fairly recently and they absolutely KILLED. I told him as much and he got all shy and bashful, but really appreciative. Kinda funny, as he is a very big, imposing guy, and even BIGGER when he's on stage. (The man's stage presence fills the entire room.) He was really nice and I felt a little bad that I may have embarrassed him. Sinderella Pussie (My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult) -- A friend of mine dated her for a little while. She was oka

Jonathan Richman -- More aloof than you would expect. Maybe it was that I was an unprepared neophyte interviewer who was trying his patience, but he was kinda distant and easily annoyed. I would still like to have a double chocolate malted with him sometime. Dave Draiman (Disturbed) -- A good friend of mine grew up with him and we had the chance to hang out a few times. A really, really nice guy. It's been probably 12 years or so since I've seen him, the day before Disturbed had their first gig at Metro here in Chicago. He was excited and nervous. Now he headlines Ozzfest. Nash Kato -- Aga

AMG review for it is great. I will be picking this up as soon as I get paid.

Great post, shoes. Sounds like an amazing night. And, being in Chicago, myself, I really hope that he grants your request to come play here!

This was back in May: And, the offer still stands that, if any of you want to see the video of me and my (full, now defunct lineup) band playing on the Morning News here in Chicago, send me a PM. (I can't post it online due to copyright stuff.) Some great stuff on here, folks. There are a lot of talented VCers!

Stay safe, Crow Daddy.

Just finished this: First-hand account of a young kid's growing up with Tourrette's and OCD. Very quick, entertaining read.

I love this image. Oh, that it were reality! (By the way, the guy in my avatar is actually Vivian Stanshall, the lead singer from The Bonzo Dog Band.)

I thought that we had a thread started for this topic already, but I couldn't find it. So, here is a new thread to brag and tell about the cool stuff you found for next to nothing... I just picked this one up for a buck: Have yet to hear it, but it sounds promising.

The Who And then, of course, you have the whole plethora of obscene band names that I won't even begin to list here.

yes.

Just really listened to the lyrics to this one for the first time. Oh my God.

You gave me a chuckle.

Pretty good day of listening.

Thanks. It was not live interaction. She sent me the questions ahead of time, and I recorded my responses.

Now, I just did an interview with an online station. if you are interested in hearing that, it is at this link: Just did an interview here: http://heartsofcountryradio.freehostingcloud.com/ I am credited as "Pop Todd". (If you couldn't figure that out.)

My wife hates these, but she now wants to go just to see our neighborhood on the big screen.
