Sorry to hear that. I've been there (15 years ago, after a long career), and never quite recovered. Had to completely change professions twice since then. Hang in there, I know it's tough, but you'll be okay, I'm sure.

Happy Birthday! Have a great time.

This was surprisingly great last night. I'm not sure why this guy has not crossed over to a much bigger audience. And Scott McCaughey was there playing bass for him too! This was the first time I saw M. Ward. I've been a somewhat casual fan for awhile, but I was really impressed with him last night. The songs are catchy, his guitar playing is great, and he has a very appealing voice - what's not to like?

OMG, I always thought it was the moon as well!

For what it's worth, I recall numerous conversations among my friends regarding the use of superdelegates to "rig" the democratic nomination for Hillary, when the popular vote tallies for her and Bernie were fairly close. Maybe "rig" is the wrong word to use, but I still don't understand why superdelegates exist and why they have such power. Bernie obviously did not pursue the issue, but it does seem fishy to me, and makes me feel like my vote counts much less than it should.

I am a Yankees fan and I also think they did the right thing. The team has been unwatchable this year. I think Joe Girardi should go as well.

I watched that whole interview this morning. I've watched a lot of Trump interviews over the past year, but I've never seen anything like this one. It was so evident that he was so completely overwhelmed. He was so defensive, and reduced the entire presidential campaign to a popularity contest. I know he's been doing that all along, but it somehow seemed worse than ever in that interview with Stephanopoulos this morning. I don't believe he's going to make it to election day. I don't know what will happen, but I feel in the pit of my stomach that something will. He'll either withdraw of h

I watched Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck last night. I really enjoyed it and thought it was very creatively done, particularly the way they filmed his handwritten lyrics/notes/drawings. I was glad to see they did not spend much time on his tragic death.

That is a dark, dark show. But I really like it too. Love Idris Elba in most everything he does.

No, I can't go tonight even if the price drops significantly...I have other plans. But generally speaking, I am on a very tight budget at the moment, which is why I've been only talking about free shows and shows in NJ. Glad you had a great time! Did they play any other old gems?

I thought Bill Clinton's speech was wonderful. I think last night's convention went a long way towards making me see Hillary from a different perspective.

How did you like night one? I just watched a video of last night's performance of Let Down and really enjoyed it...that's a favorite of mine. I considered doing the Stub Hub thing again yesterday, but tickets were still $200 and up as late as 4 pm, which is the latest I would have been willing to leave here. Just out of curiosity, I kept looking all the way up to show time and they never went down. So there were a fair amount of people who ate those tickets.

Thanks for that link. Reading through, it tells me that she waffles back and forth about the issue. I'm not saying it's a deal breaker, and I will almost certainly end up voting for her. But I won't be voting for her because I have strong belief in her. It will be a half-hearted vote. I think my ability to have strong belief in any candidate was destroyed by Obama's failure to live up to just about everything I thought he was going to be and do when I voted for him. Bernie Sanders is probably the last remaining person I believe in, partly because I have been following him for many years

You don't think it would be odd for Hillary to take a position 180 degrees from what is one of the most significant accomplishments of her husband's time in office?

I loved Bernie's speech and it reminded me of all the reasons I voted for him. I just wish I could believe everything he said that "Hillary Clinton understands." I was willing to believe him until he got to TPP. And I remembered that Bill Clinton was the one who signed NAFTA. I felt for all those Bernie supporters who were crying in the stands during his speech.

What a great post, Mr. Heartbreak. I think you've crystallized a lot of what I feel as well. I know every word by heart of so many songs from Summerteeth, YHF, and AGIB. And like you, much of the newer material fails to stick with me in that way, although there are definitely some great songs in there - One Sunday Morning springs to mind, but for me, that one is all about the music and the sound...I couldn't tell you one line from it off the top of my head. To be honest, I'd never quite thought about it this way until I read your post. I had been thinking more that maybe I'm in a differen

There are several much more inexpensive options if you scroll down to the bottom of the page.

I heard Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales on the radio today and my ears perked up. What a great song. When I saw the artist was Car Seat Headrest, I recognized it from this thread. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll have to check this out further...Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales is totally my kind of thing,

That was the only way I could see to do it.

I have vague memories of JFK's assassination. I was just about to turn 3 and did not realize who he was or what had happened to him, but I do have clear memories of pictures of him being on TV for what seemed forever. I clearly remember watching on the black and white TV. I can even picture the old TV room in our apartment and seeing it on TV in that room. That is one of my earliest memories. I much more clearly remember RFK's assassination several years later, and was very aware of who he was (the brother of the other guy I remembered!) and exactly what happened to him.

No, I paid double that, and it was a block of 5 or 6 tickets, of which I bought one. . Doesn't matter now. I will be six seats away from your friend. Thanks for the reassurance about gettng in.

I'm in 225 Row 1. I bought my ticket from Stub Hub a few days ago. First time I've ever used Stub Hub and am a little anxious about being able to get in!

Me too! Can't wait!

Yes, I believe all the free tickets are for general admission only. At least that's what the settlement website says: http://www.ticketfeelitigation.com/faq#Q18
