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.

I'm halfway through his new one, Let Me Be Frank With You.

Are y'all entering with multiple email addresses? It does say one entry per person but I feel like my work person is different than my home person.

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.

Been on an early REM binge recently and I like this as much as anything they ever did.

LouieB - it's about Ginger Baker. I really enjoyed that one; I thought it was very well done. He is quite a talent but he also somewhat nuts.
