Thanks for the report. Looks awesome. I'm going tonight in Boston.

How were they? I'm going tomorrow night ...

Gotta be Ty Cobb.

Congrats to you. That must be a great experience.

I've been watching Wild Wild Country, the Netflix documentary about the Rajneesh. I remember some of it while it was happening but had no idea about how crazy it really was. It has a great soundtrack too.

Interesting piece on Betty Cantor and other women in the Dead's inner circle: https://www.npr.org/2018/03/20/593958534/do-you-want-to-talk-to-the-man-in-charge-or-the-woman-who-knows-what-s-going-on

Glad you enjoyed it. I keep it on my coffee table and still pick it up and just flip through it. I'm always seeing different things in her drawings. And good point about the non-New Yorker view of NYC. I think a native New Yorker might have a different take and might not be as fascinated by some of the detail of the city.

Looking forward to that. And I've got tickets to see them in a few weeks!

I just finished reading that and thought it was great. I'm from Cambridge/Boston so a lot of the history was fascinating. I definitely learned a lot.

Two of my favorite albums!

Agreed. She's one of my favorite singers/performers but it's not the greatest artwork ...

I heard the Maron podcast and agreed it was great. Lots of funny stories form both of them. I really like the new record. It's got a couple of just classic sounding Buffalo Tom songs, including All Be Gone. It closes with a nice cover of Simon and Garfunkel's Only Living Boy in New York. If you are already a fan, you will like this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG-p98KNCX4

Enjoying the new Buffalo Tom album.

Posted elsewhere but Neko Case has a new one coming out on June 1.

New Neko album on June 1st (and video of the first single in the link): https://pitchfork.com/news/neko-case-shares-new-song-hell-on-listen/?mbid=homepage-more-latest-and-video

I know their first two albums get most of the attention but I'm a big fan of this one.

I haven't read that particular book but it's a great and tragic story. And it's why Nova Scotia sends Boston a Christmas tree every year ...

I wonder if the president is going to take the blame for the Dow dropping 1,175 points today.

Steve Earle (with Bill Janovitz from Buffalo Tom opening)

Interesting interview with David Byrne here: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/david-byrne-trump-why-he-wont-reunite-talking-heads-w516185 But if you're hoping for a Talking Heads reunion, here's what he's got to say: You once said you've avoided a Talking Heads reunion because it would overshadow the other things you've done. Is it really that simple? There's a lot to that. I see what happens with other people when they do their reunions – and then it turns into a second reunion and a third reunion. With someone like the Pixies, it's different – they're getting the audience now

Came out 50 years ago today.

That show was the first tape I ever got ( a long time ago ...). I should track this down and see how it holds up for me.

Jealous!

I kept waiting for Philip to step into the TARDIS and leave Elizabeth behind ...

Came out 25 years ago today (or maybe yesterday). I think it holds up pretty well.
