For The Vic, check out the prices at the "Rock n' Roll" Days Inn on Diversey. It's pretty much walking distance from The Vic (a kinda long walk, but very doable) and a lot closer to actual stuff that real Chicago residents do and the places they go. Address: 644 W. Diversey Pkwy.

I think that I'm gonna start this:

It's a given. But I just heard some version of "We Three Kings" and was mezmerized. What a beautiful melody. I used to be a "Little Drummer Boy" guy, but I think that I have a new favorite.

Def Leppard - YEAH! Martin Newell - A Summer Tamarind

Absolutely! Thank you!

In general, my favorites tend to be the leat-played Beatles tracks (not that there is such a thing, but, for now...): Hey Bulldog It's All Too Much I'm Only Sleeping Two Of Us She Said, She Said I've Just Seen A Face You've Really Got a Hold On Me Everybody's Got Something To Hide (Except For Me & My Monkey) so, there's a few
