Wow, congratulations! You two sound beautiful together!

Not in NYC, for an artist like Wilco. Nick Lowe with Los Straitjackets sold out an upcoming club show in NYC for $40+$10 fees = $50. I would put Wilco as an equal to or slightly more desirable ticket. (I sadly put off buying one of those Nick Lowe tickets too long and got shut out.)

I have since been reminded by someone on another forum that many of the songs Joey sang were written by Terry. So I guess what I miss is Joey singing Terry’s songs. . See the band if you get a chance, they’re still as fun as always, as I said.

Terry Adams is the only original left, yes. This was the 2nd time I’ve seen this particular version of the band. They are very, very good, and as fun as ever, yet I can’t get over the gaping hole left by Joey Spampinato’s exit. They still do many of his songs, and they’ve found a guitarist and bass player who can sound like him. They all swap instruments and are all pretty adept at whatever instrument they’re playing. Terry is clearly the leader of this new band, and is the only strong personality in the band. I thought NRBQ was at its best when Al Anderson served as the perfect foil for

I love Keep It Like a Secret, and most of their recordings, but I saw the band years ago and I thought their live performance was a huge let down. I felt the same way about Pavement when I saw them years ago: loved the records, but couldn’t get into the live show at all. Either I had the very bad luck of seeing both these bands on an off night, or some bands are just better at making records than performing live.

Congratulations! That’s a very big deal!

Dirty Dozen Brass Band hit me like a tsunami, they were that good. The opener Cha Wa, was almost as good! Too bad Car Seat Headrest played so few songs.

I love Car Seat Headrest. Please report back about them.

I am so, so sorry to hear this Craig.

I thought it was a good game. It wasn’t a blowout, so that kept it interesting. For most of the game, since no one was scoring, I was kind of on the edge of my seat (rooting for NE), because I knew any score by either team was going to be hard for the other team to counter. The last few minutes were the least exciting of the game, because LA just seemed to fold.

Wow, so sorry to hear this. I can’t believe even lawyers are temps now. (All that tuition money!!! I feel your pain!) I’m glad I bailed out of law school after one semester.

I thought Steve Coogan was perfect as Stan Laurel. Great film!

I always look forward to the conference championships and think those are among the best games of the year. The Super Bowl can be hit or miss, but the conference championships are almost always exciting games with pretty evenly matched teams. This past Sunday was fantastic.

I’ve seen that before on my phone. I have an old Samsung Android phone that does everything I need it to do except buy tickets through Ticketmaster. Good luck on your quest for tickets. Wish I could go but work sadly will not allow that.

Too funny. I’ve been a high school chemistry teacher for 15 years. Worked in industry for many years before I became a teacher.

This album is proving to be a grower for me. I’ve had it on repeat for several hours over each of the past two days and it is slowly revealing itself to me. I love I Know What It’s Like, and Let’s Go Rain is creeping up there in status as well.

That was great! But oh so short!
