A member of the inaugural class of inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Irreplaceable. For some reason I was thinking about him and wondering about his health a few weeks ago.

I'm glad that he's making music again.

I am fortunate to count myself among the crowd for their last show in the U.S. at Voodoo Fest in NOLA in '08. It was just before Obama was elected, so they were very high-energy. I stood on the rail for what seemed like an eternity for that set, realizing that at age 33 it might be the last time I'd be willing to do that.

That's early enough to me! I was about 10 or 11 when I first discovered them via MTV and Night Tracks. I don't think they were really on my radar till Out of Time, and I didn't become a fan till Automatic. Of course they weren't touring during those albums, so I didn't seem them live until the Monster tour.

Yep. Forty years ago they played their first show at the old St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Athens. For a friend's birthday party. What I'd give to have been to some of those early shows.

Another amazing experience. How great is it to have something so fun to look forward to at the end of these surreal days?

I miss baseball.

It's such a gift, especially during this time as you said. It's nice to have something to look forward to at the end of the day.

"Evergreen." My favorite song on Warmer. So beautiful.

I''m really digging it. It's kind of a happy medium between her earlier acoustic-y/singer-songwriter stuff and Out in the Storm. I couldn't get into her earlier albums, but I loved the 90s alt rock vibe of Out in the Storm. St. Cloud has a folky/alt. country vibe. It's a beautiful album to enjoy during this surreal time. I'll probably be picking it up, too.

I can't wait for the box set. I keep falling asleep and missing it, so I'll have a lot to catch up on.

Cancer. Damn. He was a great drummer. I believe he also played some with the Minus 5 and Filthy Friends. I read that his wife died of cancer last year also. Very sad.

I'm on! I joined in time to watch last night's fun and was not disappointed.

I'm late on everything. I still don't have an Instagram account. Facebook is my only foray into social media to date.

Hope everyone is staying healthy and that chuckrh will soon be on the mend (and that his test turned out negative). These are surreal times for sure. There's no roadmap for it, at least not in the U.S. Hopefully we'll get through this together and come out on the other side a better country that's more prepared for such an event.
