Central Scrutinizer

Come 'on, he has never been as height as he was when he was doing drugs and going through all the depression. And it's affected the music. I think the music would take on an edgier, more relevant tone if he was forced to sing in a ditch. And since adding Nels, their height wasn't like it was back when Jay Bennett was with the group. Sure Nels can hit high notes, but he's that much taller, ain't he? In my opinion, Tweedy and this band has been on a slide ever since gravity began setting in.

The 3rd episode let me down as well. I realize this was important in telling the story of the men, and having more personal stories about particular characters to advance the story and make you feel more personal about them. But Band of Brothers, Saving Private Ryan and presumably The Pacific, in my view, serves as historical fiction -- learning about the events of the time from a ground view. Band of Brothers used the men to advance the story, and after two episodes that did that well, this because more drama than docu-drama.

I didn't say it was bad, the previous post brought up the subject of intentionally cheesy and that video fit the bill. Yep, yep, yep.

Interesting 70s vibe to your work, particularly the line graphics. Good stuff.

Time to begin stuffing the wilcoworld requests ...

A perfectly understandable mistake. Someone screaming so uncontrollably (and probably incoherently) that they froth at the mouth and spray spittle is certainly not someone overreacting to a situation. How could Cleaver have underreacted to such an irrational situation?

That explains a lot!

This is absolute hypocritical hogwash. Principles 1-2 by their very nature render principles 4, 7-9 untrue. If this is a group that stands on its love of country, Christianity and honesty, those principles are biblically incorrect. What is America then if not Democracy, a system of government. How can government be good but an adjust of me and mine rather than part of a community guided by laws and mores? 6 attacks their own principle that they are above the law and the rule of the land. I can picture this on a board scrawled by pigs who are dressing up in the farmer's clothes.

Perhaps oversimplifying -- but that's the point -- the issues are oversimplified to black and white for those who will scream it until spittle purposely or inadvertantly strikes others. There were many videos leading up to the rally of these same tea party zealots repeating the most ridiculous things and people shouting in agreement and working their collective brain cell into a lather (unbiased reporting here). Here's why the Dems are getting all worked up in response -- this is how the Republicans elected an idiot TWICE. And given a chance -- despite the war, despite the deficit spending,

I saw the who in '83 (?) at the then Rosemont Horizon. In the middle of 5:15, Townsend broke at least two strings. when he gets to the end bit and sings, "why should I care?" he unstraped the guitar and tossed it straight up about 20 feet and it craxhed butt first. Great ad lib.

At the Savannah show Nels Cline's guitar stopped working. At that point he started not playing the SAME GUITAR with reckless abandon!! You just can't put that it in the setlist. If you only could attend one show a year, that one shoulda been it

You're gonna eat it in front of Neil Young? At least offer him a drumstick.

What are your "aliases"? Oxidation Shackleford? Combines-With-Oxygen Shackleford?

That's badgertastic! :badger

I assumed there would be IP protection on there, but initially went to request a second song. When it went through, I became curious to tinker. Honestly, I think there are far fewer requests coming in than people anticipate, and that the top requests are likely the result of ballot stuffers. In the concerts I've placed requests, only two or three requests will push a song into the top 10 for that show. I think the requests are harmless in that, Jeff is going to look at what the band played the last time, what they've been playing, what they're wanting to add, what's requested and how it al

Tweedy's haircut makes him look like Kramer. And that coat is wearing Jay.

d'oh. You're right.

"Give you an example; show you what I mean: suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness."

I stuffed the online request line for Savannah with several songs -- most prominently At My Window Sad & Lonely and a write-in campaign for Laminated Cat -- and they were *all* played. I think 9 of the 10 songs on the Savannah requests were played -- the only exception being Misunderstood, and I think it was the case where they did Via Chicago and it seems they play one or the other, but never both. Thanks Jeff.

Miami Beach, Clearwater, Atlanta, Durham and Richmond are all available. Only Savannah missing thus far.

You should of climbed up on stage and offered him a hug. That would of cheered him up.

I've seen them do Feed of Man twice in '08.
