Wow what a beautiful story...I can totally understand that happening. "Dock,your pitching today." I say good on him for describing it. So, sad he didn't get the liver transplant he needed. On a side note, I lived in Sarasota and the spring training days and parties were legendary. I recall several nights of "enhanced" star gazing and swimming

Thank you for the link to the NYT review. bbop well done on the notes. Goddess bless Neil Young. I can hardly wait to hear what's next from him...Mother Earth perfect picture and a beautiful encore.

Looks like a good time was had by all! So, excited to see the covers. Passenger are you working on those GP covers?

I'll be at a different benefit -- Cheap Trick at the Vic.

I'm a bit green with envy around this Edie

For the rest of you have fun and enjoy!

OK. I've scanned the tube on this thing for a news cycle. I was somewhat aware of the troubles of this guy, but if the allegations turn out to be true... it's truly a mind blower. Is it a case of gargantuan-sized cojones, bat-shit insanity, or both?

Well, MB, here is a blog about this guys astrology that seems to answer your question.

fascinating stuff: "His faith in himself as well as his sense of personal protection from harm is often so ingrained that he may be willing and eager to attempt anything, disregarding impossible odds, in order to fulfill his goals and objectives."

Of course I think Louie B summed it up with the Daley's using power vs money. It seems to me that the union/power thing has always been the "way it works" in Chicago. (Which is my current favorite city to visit by the way!) I remember there always being roads under construction even if they had just been redone being explained as "political pay back for the unions" during the 80's in Chicago.

Ahhh MB Happy Birthday. Of course your a Sag, I should have guessed! Sounds like a wonderful day was had by all. Hope the coming year is filled with joy, beauty and wonderful music.

hope your year is filled with joy.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Matt!!!

Hope the coming year brings much joy, laughter and great music.

The guy that wrote this, John Einarson, has written quite a few rock books.

Guess I gotta go to the bookstore today Thanks for the tip...needed a new book to read!

I am grateful for my family.

I am grateful for the hope this year has brought.

I am so grateful to be alive in all the beauty that is our modern world. (As P Hood says "It's great to be alive".)

I am grateful for all the amazing music I saw this year and the wonderful friends that accompanied me. (especially Richardo, the Gardners, Wendy and my niece Haley).

So Grateful that my Mom got to cast her "most important vote in my life" in the Blue State of Indiana.

I am grateful for my job that allows me to be in nature everyday.

and of course I am grateful for VC for the laughs, the insight and the music you guys are an inspiration.

I saw Jason and Browan at cafe du nord ten days ago. He did two sets and really seemed present. He was in fine voice and spirits about the new album. Love the snippets, I think he is such a fine songwriter just coming into his own. Looking forward to February

okay gogo I thought I might get to stay in one night in November and then...temptation strikes. We'll see how I've held up from the DBT/THS marathon I'm about to run .

I don't know how y'all handle the winters up there.

When I lived there it was all about hats and scarfs and the right socks....some of us have a little problem with the amount of hats . I loved living in Chicago and couldn't agree more with the statement of people being comfortable with who they are. Nice article thanks for the post.

pneyu thank you for the setlist...it was my first time seeing the singers and wow what a lesson in experimental music history. Feel like I've "been somewhere" . Took a young muscian friend from work and he was thrilled with Nels...and his friends from Deerhoof. Add to that an Eric McFadden sighting Well I guess we all know I think Nels keeps great company

wow what great news for folks in NZ...great time will be had I am sure....wish I could get on the plane for this one!!!

brilliant

when does Lost start again?
