Jesus was way cool Everybody liked Jesus Everybody wanted to hang out with him Anything he wanted to do, he did He turned water into wine And if he wanted to He could have turned wheat into marijuana Or sugar into cocaine Or vitamin pills into amphetamines He walked on the water And swam on the land He would tell these stories And people would listen He was really cool If you were blind or lame You just went to Jesus And he would put his hands on you And you would be healed That's so cool He could've played guitar better than Hendrix He could've told the future He could've baked the most

I saw Television back in 1992 and it was pretty astounding. Despite the fact that they played all my favorite songs, the highlight was when they closed the show with, what was then, a new song -- "Call Mr. Lee". The guitar runs that Richard plays up and down the neck at the end of that song, were so damn intense! You could see veins bulging out of his neck and forehead. Then, he bashed his guitar, detuned all the strings, and TORE THEM OFF THE GUITAR; put it down, and walked off the stage, letting it feed back. My gf at the time (a nonmusician) walked out of there with her head shaking in

Not "Honey Pie"... "WILD Honey Pie".

I actually kinda like "Wild Honey Pie" in a "God, that's f**ked" sorta way.

I had a day off with my older son, Cary. We wandered around Oak Park a little bit and finally found our way to Val's Halla... an old, institution of a record store ins said suburb; you Chicago folks probably know it, or have at least heard of it? Anyway, he went nuts. He was asking Val all kinds of questions about music and the history of the store. He was checking out CDs and LPs from his favorite bands and was pawing through the stacks like the drooling little budding music geek that he is. When he saw a poster and asked me, "Who is Miles Davis?" I knew that I needed to correct that an

I had Avery Island early on (heard it at my local record shop -- remember Blackout Records on Southport?) and awaited the release of Aeroplane with bated breath. At first, I liked Avery Island more, but then, as time went on... you know. Still, if you love one, you will love the other.

See what I mean?!?!

Loveless took several listens (and a big, fat joint) for me to finally get into. Sandinista is difficult, at first, mostly because of the sheer amount of music on that record! So yeah, that took a couple of listens for me to get through it and get to some of the better tunes that are buried in there. Although, I don't know that I would call it a "classic" on the same scale as, say, London Calling or even The Clash.

Haven't been since 1991 (first year: Jane's, NIN, et. al.) Not planning on going again.
