Oil Can Boyd

Aside from their big hits I actually don't know them at all. Maybe it will be great.

My best hope is that it will end early.

Three Dog Night! (My wife is a companion/aid to a woman in her late 70s who is a big fan and she got us three tickets to see the show...)

"Biggest mystery in Japan right now is how a 1994 song from Dinosaur Jr (Over Your Shoulder) topped the Billboard Overseas charts last week, beating out the likes of Ariana Grande and Queen. It also also topped the video charts with over 8 million views on YouTube." https://twitter.com/Patrick_Macias/status/1093837125554860032

Ha! Glad you are liking them. The next step is to see them live (but you pretty much have to live on the I-95 corridor between Washington DC and Boston).

I approve.

I started seeing the Dead in '80 and I didn't see a Morning Dew until '82 - and the place went nuts. They were a rare treat during the period when I saw lots of shows ('80-'86).

We watched it last night and it is bonkers. The parents certainly were naive but the criminal justice system didn't help much either.

I'd say it was more miss than hit but one of my colleagues is trying to convince me that he loves watching defensive football so in his mind it was a great game.

Is it the Julee Cruise song from Twin Peaks?

New William Tyler. I really like this guy.

I watched the Netflix documentary about the Fyre Festival (as opposed to the Hulu version). I hadn't really followed it when it was happening - except to understand that it was a real nightmare - but I had no idea how messed up it really was. There is plenty of blame go around but I thought they took an interesting look at the role of "social media influencers."

What did you think Tim? I thought it was great - though I have to admit that I had to leave after the Nervous Eater's cover in the encore. And I do miss Kelly Hogan.

You know it!

It is interesting to look at historic voting. Cy Young only got 76% of the vote. 11 voters didn't vote for Babe Ruth. 23 didn't vote for Willie Mays. 20 didn't vote for Ted Williams. Joe DiMaggio made it on his third try.

I'm a little surprised that Mariano Rivera got into the HOF unanimously. I assumed that at least one voter would either continue the stupid tradition that no one should be unanimous or decide that he wasn't worth because he was a relief pitcher.

One of the favorite shows that I attended.

As am I. Though I agree that he turned Moonlight Mile into too much of a dirge.

I'm really enjoying this album.

I can't believe that Harold Baines got in.

I'm still bummed that I had to choose between RT and the Tweedy book reading a month or so ago. I picked Tweedy but I always love seeing RT.

I'm an urban planner who works in the campus planning department at a university.

Love that album.

Is this offer still open? I'd love it ... I saw Rob Sheffield read/talk last night about his book on the Beatles. He raved about the 50th anniversary edition - though it sounds like he got to listen to it at Abbey Road Studios with Giles Martin (which would have been incredible).
