1. I Am Trying To Break Your Heart - Love any version, studio, live, solo - each one has strong merits 2. Kamera - Studio Version, like the acoustic guitar version, simple, uncluttered 3. Radio Cure - Live Version, like how it builds 4. War On War - Both are great 5. Jesus, etc. - Studio version b/c of violins 6. Ashes Of American Flags - Nels solo makes the live version my favorite - it might be my second favorite live Wilco song 7. Heavy Metal Drummer - the live version has a lot of energy, but it comes across very cluttered, so I prefer the studio version 8. I'm the Man Who Loves Y

3 songs immediately come to mind: Every Grain Of Sand - Bob Dylan Into the Mystic - Van Morrison What A Wonderful World - Louis B. Armstrong I kind of agree with the sentiment that the original song themselves may not evoke what I'm trying to communicate with these songs. I think the following arrangements might translate quite well: Every Grain Of Sand - two guitars - one electric like the orginal song playing the same part, one classic guitar playing the vocal notes - and the original harp solo Into the Mystic - Dixieland arrangement - adding a violinist to play the vocal part (on

Having worked with sexually abused children, I have the deepest sympathy, sensitivity, and defensiveness for anyone who has been abused in any form, and I have complex and mixed feelings about those who were molested and then went on to molest others. I wish I could find some black and white moral stance on it all that would provide me peace and solace, but rarely does anyone who knows someone or was sexually assaulted themselves (as children) find total peace on this side of heaven. It's hard not to look at Michael and his family when they were adorable kids and not be heartbroken by the

did anyone capture the Milwaukee webcast from 4-15 that we could share?

Man, I planned to purchase tickets to his Atlanta show this June but it looks like they're sold out. Major bummer. I spent two weeks convincing friends to go see him and they finally agreed, only to have the show sellout. Me Sad.

love a PM from anyone who was able to capture it. listening to it right now, but I don't have the capabilities to capture it at work.

So ... I'm in Charlotte and my friends who I were counting on going with have bailed on me, so I'm left with two extra tickets. I'm willing to sell the extra 2 or all 3 if someone is looking for 3 decent seats. I know the show hasn't sold out, but I'm pretty sure my seats are better than whatever seats are still available. I still plan to go, but if you need 3 good seats, I can always purchase 1 ticket when I get there. Mezzanine Main Floor behind orchestra Row EE Seats 5-7 email me jhetterly@gcts.edu

Was able to grab it at Manifest Disc in Charlotte, and it only cost me $10. I wanted to stick around and browse for more deals, but I had a 6 year old and my 3 year-old was asleep in my arms. Also, there was live music and it was very loud for them. Oh well, best $10 I've spent in quite awhile.

I'm there. I have one friend coming for sure and hopefully another friend as well. Both will be first timers seeing Wilco live. I'm excited.

I would love a copy when you're finished.

I'd love a PM as well.

I think both are 2 for 3 with their latest output. I like both Pop and ATYCLB a lot. I think Reveal is the best of all 6 albums. I think Atomic Bomb and Around the Sun are quite possibly the worst albums for each group, IMO. I think Up, Reveal are underrated and Accelerate is a solid album. I with R.E.M. would go back and make a sparse, quiet album in the vein of Automatic and Out of Time.

Has anyone recorded this? And if so, would they be in a generous mood and share?

oops! my bad ... obviously misunderstood your question.

Funny thing, I prefer not to fight or be in charge. I think my sense of humor and my childlike propensity to attract attention to myself influences my E score, but in reality, I am also very unambitious, more than willing to defer leadership, only speak up when whoever is leading is doing a horrible job, and am really uncomfortable with compliments, praise, or criticism. Perplexes me. In other words, when I lead or am in charge, we generally get nowhere (but I can make them laugh!)

I work at and attend a graduate theological seminary in Charlotte, NC. I am working on a Masters degree in Counseling, completing both the LPC and MFT tracks. Should complete the degree in another year, then should satisfy the state license requirements to take the exams two years after that.

There are a number of songs that I just skip, simple harmless tunes that I just don't take a hankerin' to - a lot of A.M. to be specific ... I really tried, but I couldn't find any songs that "I can't stand to listen to" - there are many I find weak, but sometimes I enjoy the music enough to overlook the crap lyrics (Outtasite Outta Mind, Why Would You Wanna Live) or the lyrics are poignant enough to overlook the weak music (Leave Me Like You Found Me, Radio Cure). I've always been album-oriented, so I often just listen to the entire thing. Having said that, some songs have been redeemed

I am an ENTJ. I am moderate E, the rest are within five of the center. Interesting enough, I've taken the MBTI three times in my life, have scored ENTJ on all three, but each time, my scores have moved closer to the center. I'd like to think it has to do with maturity, empathy, and experience in life, but I'm sure there are less noble reasons as well. I actually have a quiz tonight on Personality Tests. I'm prepping for questions on the MBTI, the Big 5 Personality Factors, the House-Tree-Person test, and the 16PF Inventory. I find the stuff fascinating ... just not enough to be quizzed

Am I to blame for this topic taking a turn away from SNL? If so, gosh, I'm sorry.

Thanks for at least saying "Gosh"! For the record, Youtube is the best thing to ever happen to SNL. Now all I have to do is wait until Sunday or Monday to only watch the funny clips and skip the rest.

If we're going to discuss the sanctity of life, let's not reduce it merely to abortion. Let's talk about poverty, education, healthcare for the babies and parents you legislate to have the child. Let's talk about adoption agencies and other social services. Let's talk about the death penalty. Let's talk about war and civilian casualties. Let's talk about commerce and trade. Let's have a critical and informative dialogue about the sanctity of life and how abortion and abortion laws represent a only one piece of a larger worldview about life and the right to life and the equality of life,
