Bob Dylan Meets the Beatles

Dopes and Change

I am just looking forward to this new Album ... odd, a friend of mine tried to turn me on Wilco when YFH came out ... hate to admit I didnt get it at the time but I eventually got turned on to them years later via live stuff ....now I like just about everything (a few exceptions). I suspect the new CD will be the same for me .... some stuff will resonate immediately and other stuff will have to grow on me ....in the end Tweedy and Wilco dont owe me anything except to honestly express themselves and I think that's a given that they will do just that.

Course any song by the Foo is a driving song

Foo Fighters That song is soundtrack for driving

Lovely song... after several listens the melody is firmly etched in my mind.... trying to to imagine the full band performance

Varies on the person I was trying to turn on to Wilco and its cool since there is so much variety to tap into

No .. it is not spring here in Midland MI ... I work for a minor league baseball team and we have 10 inches of snow on the field and opening day is April 7th ...

Yes thats true I didnt stay true to the thread .... but maybe I thought those lyrics worked .. who doesnt like Steak and Potatoes

From Neil Young Reactor T Bone Got mashed potatoes Got mashed potatoes Got mashed potatoes Ain't got no T-Bone Ain't got no T-Bone Got mashed potatoes Got mashed potatoes Got mashed potatoes Got mashed potatoes Ain't got no T-Bone Got mashed potatoes Got mashed potatoes Got mashed potatoes Ain't got no T-Bone Ain't got no T-Bone I only pasted the first 3 stanzas ... the rest of the song is just those lyrics over and over

Wish I had a recording of this but I used to be in a quasi bluegrass trio called "Joe Bobs Revenge" and we did a bluegrass version of Skid Rows 18 and Life

The preferable option would be for the bastard to be killed by a Cruise Missle .. its fitting justice for his life of evil and a trial is just too damn slow

Aye but your Union Leaders maybe building a Mansion in Tampa

Alright the issue with Unions is multifaceted ... we are bankrupt, the unions have played a role in this....The Unions are so intertwined with the Democratic Party that when they negotiate with Democrats its a conflict of interest ...Public sector union members have better benifits and wages than many of the people who are paying their wages .. Unions promote and encourage the lowest common denominator ..poor employees are protected and the excellant employees arent rewarded .... the need for Unions in this country has waned from the early history of the unions .....I was a former Government

I was a unionized Government for 22 years. The union through negotiations gave me a pretty decent living and very good benifits. The Union also created a workforce that promoted mediocre behaviour (and I am being kind). Looking back I know that merit based work places is the only way to have productivity and efficency. I hope my pension is still there but I am not counting on it. The Unions need to see that the times have changed and they need to make concessions or we all go down.

No I wouldnt want them to be saddled with Mubarak ..... my pessimism comes from being really excited for the pro democracy developments in Lebanon several years ago.. I was very hopeful that democracy would start to bloom in the Middle East only to have it hijacked by Hezbollah and Iran

Might be refering to me as well .... I want to be optimistic but I am very realistic about the prospects this ends badly .... the track record in the Middle East with Democracy isnt a good one .... Lebanon and Gaza are examples .....Lebanon's elections were hijacked by fundamentalists from Iran and in Gaza it was Hamas which is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood

I would ask "If you were a tree what kind of tree would you be"

I agree with much that you have said ...... but as far as the world largely despises us I disagree, I think much of the world envys us. I think those that despise us have over the years due to Soviet and other influences have a perverted view point of us. The Islamic World, at least the fundamentalist sects despise us due to their evil hatred of Israel and our support of Israel, in addition they see us as decadent, to which I say F em. This is not to say we havent made some tragic errors over the years over that have contributed to some in world hating us. Your point about us spending our

well they dont eat a whole lot of sausage over there so I am guessing its going to be real messy My take is there is cute little puppy named democracy being born there but in the end it will be a ravenous wolf

Kidsmoke, Most importantly sorry for the loss of your dog and welcome on board to Deb from a newbie myself

Nels uses an IKEA desk leg to manipulate his strings

Then you are saying we have to just accept what ever album they record ... thats crazy talk

maybe if they gently nudge it and make John get off of it

Obviously from the Feng Shui of the room this new album will thrill some, and alleniate others. If they would just turn the couch slightly to the west it would be a perfect album.
