The Inside of Outside

There are not many I can't listen to, but a whole bunch I don't choose to listen to. Led Zeppelin II and IV, all of The Doors catalog (from the tiny sample on this board, it looks like that is a band that people burn out on), most of Dire Straits' Brothers in Arms (except the title track), and a few Eric Clapton records - those probably fall under the can't listen to.

This made me laugh. And it is probably true, to boot.

I was a huge fan of HTH and TTGG when they came out, and I was bummed when Olson left the band. The shows during the HTH tour were particularly fantastic. Then I saw them on the Sound of Lies tour, with Kraig, and they rocked out. It was a much heavier sound, and I liked it. A lot. I'd go see this tour in a heartbeat. I liked what Kraig brought to the band in terms of his guitar sound. I thought Kraig's work in Golden Smog was great, too.

Did Lotti attend? http://www.pollstar.com/news_article.aspx?ID=810592

This article makes sense to me, too. Definitely more plausible than what I have heard kicking around on the news channels.

Loved the Georgia Satellites - underrated and, unfortunately, known usually for a fairly corny song. They could genuinely rock it out. And that Dead/Dylan story is a hoot. Pretty cool life event for an 18-year old! Drunk ladies EVERYWHERE - great name for a band.

Taxi driver for my kids. Similar to last weekend. Oh, and next weekend. I am putting away my taxi driver cap tonight to go see a Talking Heads tribute band.

Completely forgot how cold it was that night. Thanks for the nudge to my memory!

Big shows: The Who - '89, Giants Stadium - From Mary-Anne with the Shaky Hands to Baba O'Riley - they rocked it out. The backs of my calves were black and blue from jumping around and whacking my legs on my folded-up seat. Only time that ever happened. Of course, it may have had something to do with the hellacious partying we did beforehand. U2 - '87 or '88, The Joshua Tree tour, New Haven - Goosebumps. Lots of em. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - '87 or so, at an outdoor mill complex in Manchester, NH - MIke Campbell played a few solos that night that were as good as any I have seen.

I was ok with MM's speech. Was a bit too long, and the "I am my own hero 10 years later" part was an odd way to say that he is always trying to improve, but overall, I thought his speech got people thinking a bit. I didn't see anything wrong with that. Now that Leto dude, he was all over the map with his speech. But I liked the part about his mom and what she faced in 1971. I was surprised that American Hustle got shut out.

This cracked me up. Took me back to 1990 or so, and drunk-calling girls at 1 or 2 in the morning. Good times. At least for me....probably not for the girls I woke up.

I do not read too many autobiographies written by musicians. But I was into the Who in a big way for 3-4 years in the early 80s - the first band I really went crazy over. Then along came The Replacements, then The Jayhawks, and then Wilco. I suppose I'd read an autobiography by Paul Westerberg, Gary Louris, or Jeff Tweedy, too. But probably not many others (maybe Keith Richards' Life). What I did get out of this is that the late 60's/early 70s - the heyday of The Who - seems like a long time ago in terms of popular culture.

That is a pretty cool run of songs there.

Bennett + Bach for me. They were loosey-goosey, and their playing sounded like it all might fall apart at any minute (that goes for the whole band back then). I loved that. I did not find Bach and Jorgensen to mesh well, and Mikael playing a laptop for much of the time did not do it for me. That said, I love his playing now.

Positive thoughts, heartfelt prayers, affirming meditations - the whole enchilada - all headed to Chicago and the Tweedy family.

Yes!

I second this. What a groove!

Loved his band, too. The man, and his band, can move. Flashbacks to James Brown last night in some of those moves.

^^^^^Loved that!

Good, and violent. The frontier, from northern Florida to Maine, was a violent place in the 17th and 18th centuries. I now understand why the 2nd Amendment was so important to Americans in the late 1700s, and why it was the second amendment. Guns were in our cultural DNA from the start.

I did, too. Only I don't remember people calling them mullets then. It was just a hairstyle. Only quite a bit later did I hear the term mullet.
