The High Heat

I don't think Tweedy has much of an interest of meeting with fans under those circumstances. And I think we all agree that those people provided the dopiest scene in the documentary. What we fail to admit is that we are all glad it was them in that moment and not any one of us. What can anyone say that's interesting and meaningful when the entire meeting is forced and unnatural? Fans don't belong backstage after a concert, no more than we should be invited into the clubhouse after the game. Wrong time, wrong place. Save for the groupies, of course.

After the fact, we understand him, but beforehand WTF are they supposed to think of that description?

See: Tweedy describing the holes where the music should be in YHF to folks backstage in IATTBYH.

If you had only heard "Spiders" solo, you could not imagine the full band version. And vice versa.

Speaking of batshit fucking stupid: Reds pitcher Mike Leake busted for shoplifting.

Maybe it was a "courtesy tune."

Don't bank on that. There's more interest in shows like The View and The Talk. ABC should just go ahead and put on their version of The Vagina Monologues, too. People nowadays want to talk about screwing around, not watch the very light porn genre. Hell, you can see the real deal on your portable porn machines we call laptops.

Very nice, sir. Thanks.

Barry Bonds found guilty of one count of obstruction of justice.

Josh Hamilton out 6-8 weeks.

Don't forget these two.

Manny's done being Manny! What will we do for our baseball soap opera now?

I can't add or even update apps on my iPhone because of all those damn Dylan songs on the iPod.

Jim Croce ~ Thursday (though the word goes unmentioned in the song)

I'm not feeling the Rangers this year. Padres? Without Adrian Gonzalez? Do you guys expect the Marlins to just fall apart or are you projecting the Nationals to acquire Felix Hernandez?

Very true. I tried to turn a guy onto Wilco by lending him "The Egg Album" (as he called it), but he is a blues and rock fan. He hated it. Later, I made him a mix of the band's more easy to access songs from across their career and he liked that mix. Songs like California Stars and Casino Queen jump out and grab music fans who like it traditional.

Wilco is featuring a Neil Young video on their Facebook page. Coincidence? Yeah, probably.

Springtime comes and the leaves are back on the trees again Snipers are harder to see my friends Weeding out the weekends

Box of Vision If remastered cds were included I'd consider paying $130 for this, but, as is, they'd need to knock $100 off for me to bite.

Acquisition will make AT&T the largest cell phone company. This ought to make up for losing some of their iPhone customers to Verizon.

Just finished this marvelous thing & it's going into my personal top 10 novels!

The Mets have released 2B Luis Castillo.

I've been following this story for a week. It's a shame and a miracle at once. Braves minor league manager has his left eye surgically removed as a result of getting hit by a line-drive foul ball. I remember Luis Salazar, came up with the Cubs and played for the '84 Padres. Decent utilty player with a little pop.

Yeah, I just read that on an update of the story. I figured since he was managing partner, he was the big guy. My bust. Nolan Ryan is now President and CEO.
