And the NRA vote. . . This morning, I overheard some folks being interviewed on NPR about who they will vote for in the election. Most of the responses had to do with McCain being a patriotic American, the issue of religion, and the old "he won't take my guns away" deal.

Oh, it's an ongoing quest. The Addendum does not even really appear anywhere - it goes for 400-500 bucks as far as I can tell. That is sort of my dream, to find II, III, and the Addendum somewhere for a good price. There was a copy of the second one for about 40 bucks on Amazon, but someone snagged it before I could order it.

I also think they will never top Master of Puppets - that is quite a feat - going from Kill Em All to that, if you think about it. I think they are this generation's AC/DC, that is, regardless of the albums they put out, they will always sell a lot of albums, and do big business on the road. Other than Iron Maiden, I can't readily think of another band from around that time that remains so popular. I think most of the bands from that era, if they are still together, are playing in sports bars, and do summer shed tours. They may do well, but are not exactly critically exclaimed.

I think Cliff was probably the best musician in the band. Lars drumming is not that great, really. I think the band's strength is in riffs/rhythms, not leads.

The DVD The CD The Deluxe Edition

Yes, I think listening to music on a telephone might not be a good way to measure the sound quality. That still seems odd to me - I know, I am old.

The Deadhead's Taping Compendium, Volume 1: An In-Depth Guide to the Music of the Grateful Dead on Tape, 1959-1974 I finally ordered it last night - I got it for $17.40.

That I don't know - but you are right, it will be, or probably is already is out there. There is also a vinyl version of the release.

I am curious to hear the Guitar Hero version, or whatever it's called, to see how it compares to the cd release.

Check out some of the links I posted.

Ha ha - I was just going to post that.

I think he did have a post about that - I don't recall what he said though. That is a pretty wild story.
