Now that's a nice feel good story. Good luck with all that!

Oh the irony ... U2 building walls in Berlin

Edit - sorry was writing thi sas the other thread was started simultaneously. Please delete. P.S. When I say writing, I mean gazing at pictures of Julie Christie

For starters: Mid September Wilco will be in Dorset, UK. http://www.endoftheroadfestival.com/ http://www.endoftheroadfestival.com/artists/wilco/ Ah, lovely dorset ... On past evidence, maybe there'll be a show in the madding crowd of London too, and no doubt time for a bit of scrumpy and western also.

On one condition - time to pop the question to Emmylou at the Neil Young benefit

^ Those are really really good (spot the English major?) Seems like a past age On first hearing Mermaid Ave T'was the start for me

Setlist has one word Three guitars in unison Impossible Eh?

Post concert tube ride Bet there is no such hassle On the C T A

Cell high in the air Scribbling setlist and no doubt Counting the nothings

Well heeled comforter That rug has seen some action But not the Fergie kind

Who else can deliver Poetic versions of life In double denim So tight in concert 'Cept one thing to bitch about Missing Nudie suit I T M W L Y How long until band goading Makes Glenn strike the pose? Looking at the Loft Full of junk but to paraphrase Where there's muck there's class

Pics e.g.

A few days late, but 5 stars from The Independent P.S. Too lazy to go to post in the other thread I started: The result: Wales 12 NZ 19 Still, a few sherbets later and all was well

Ditto Ms. Y. There's an Emmy with your name on it somewhere ...

4 stars in The Times "Formed from the ashes of alt.country act Uncle Tupelo" Bingo!

5:15 kick off local time. Tune in to your local cable channel of choice earlier for the hymns & Delilah (as in Tom Jones) from the crowd and Welsh National anthem. Beers 7pm 'til late.

Interesting - I did not know this:- http://www.healeyhero.co.uk/rescue/history/butty.htm Other sources indicate that he often employed friends/relatives. So, even though that reference suggests otherwise, i suppose some job was better than none and hence butty became a term of affection among people who knew each other well.

I'd be your butty. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=butty Scroll down a bit - I don't mean sandwich. Special meaning in Wales as, of course, your life could depend on your butties watching out for you down the pit. Shortened to 'but' usually.

56 years since Wales last won, but the excitement is there every time. This from last year - the always fantastic Haka, and then the most spine tingling minute of sporting theatre I have ever experienced - and no one was actually doing anything. The crowd goes mental. Wales accept the challenge of the Haka Meanwhile back in the Welsh Pot noodle mines ...

I tinkled the porcelain there once, in lieu of the 'Lady Madonna' piano, in the loo.

Shame it's over. Largely nutters on parade. Good stuff. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/arts_and_culture/8306044.stm

Snigger. Lads - I double dare you.

How appropriate. Will check next time for signs of wanton vandalism and report any evidence to the appropriate authorities. Zero tolerance policy in effect. Will accept plea bargaining though: in return for the time I accidentally squished a small one at Goblin Valley.

Well, the last time some people made rash statements like that they found me sleeping on their sofa in San Francisco - though they did get an Emmylou boxed set and tip top tarp (tarp - technical term I learnt that weekend) locations at Hardly Strictly in part-payment (the only time I've been grateful to jet-lag). One day, one day ... Hope all is well with you and family. I went to Kew Gardens the other day and thought of you
