Nice! I'll be there too - but I'm in the 12th row.

Red and White both ...

My two favorite songs on that record are "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad?" and "Keep on Growing" both of which Whitlock co-wrote.

I loved that book. Fascinating story. A few weeks ago I saw him read from his new book about the sinking of the Lusitania.

Agreed. I almost tried to stay off of social media last night but I couldn't resist. That top photo (with Paul and Tommy wearing masks) is fantastic!

I just ran into J Mascis near the venue and even he couldn't help me with a ticket!

Except everyone in Boston. Lots of grumbling - and sour grapes - about their club show here next week. People who got into the 525 person club are thrilled and everyone else who is shut out is frustrated.

Congrats on getting photo access for that. Assuming I don't win the lottery tomorrow I'd be happy to be your +1 or carry your photo equipment or whatever it takes. Just let me know what time to meet you there.

Love that song - and the Big Star cover on Big Star Live.

It's going to be crazy trying to get tickets. Everyone I know is calling in any favors they might have.

Yup. Country music starts at 10:30 so I assume they will have us out before 10:00.

Ha! And not surprisingly, doors are at 6:00 and show is at 7:00. Got to get these older folks (myself included) in bed.

The Sonics

I stopped by the steeple a year or so ago when my son and I were in the Athens area. I think my son thought I was a little nuts. (Of course later that same day he asked us to take a detour through Atlanta so he could see where Gucci Mane grew up.)

Or is it ... Wilco May 7 @ The MuratWe consider the changes to Indiana’s RFRA a good first step toward creating the sort of welcoming environment we encourage everywhere, so we’re reinstating our May 7 show at The Murat, which we canceled earlier this week. To quote an Indiana University statement from yesterday, "religious liberty and equal protection under the law are both cornerstones of our democracy and they should not be in conflict with each other.” Well said, IU. Now for the practical stuff: Tickets purchased through Ticketmaster or The Murat are still valid. If you purchased your tic

Me too. I'm liking it.

Bummed that (Red Sox catcher) Christian Vasquez has to undergo Tommy John surgery. He wasn't going to hit a ton but it was fun to watch him on the defensive side.
