Shovels and Rope opened for Isbell in Chicago and played a 45 minute (or so) set. And they were quite good!

Sadly, for me the general election is coming down to voting for the lesser of two evils. There's not a single candidate still on the board that I'm really excited about.

Got tickets for when he comes to Chicago in April.

Jason Isbell tonight. My wife's favorite.

DougC -- Read the CNN story. The ranch owner clarified what he meant by "over his head." It's not the same as "over his face." Winston wins the thread with his exclusive photos!

The report was that a pillow was found "over his head;" not "over his face." Maybe a better choice of words would have been a pillow was "above his head" or "between the top of his head and the headboard." There's nothing to this non-story.

^^^ I listened to Live at :Leeds earlier this week. It's my favorite live album. The sound on the enhanced version is fantastic,

^^^ And I hope you're the only person to say it. Regardless of whether you agreed with hiis opinions, the man was a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court and doesn't serve to be called a POS.

As per the Chicago Tribune (can't seem to paste the link). The buildings on the cover of YHF are officially Chicago landmarks. Wilco was mentioned in the article (which I can't seem to paste). FWIW, I look directly at Marina City while sitting at my work desk. So I've got that going for me -- which is nice.

^^^ How's the new Iggy? I picked up tickets to see him in April.

Just finished Making of a Murderer on Netflix. Excellent and troubling. I've started watching The Circus on Showtime.

It also was played during the broadcast of the Blackhawks game on Saturday night.

I don't find many of Bernie's positions on any issue appealing (and don't plan to vote for him), but I find him very appealing as a person. He is principled and authentic -- unlike most of the other candidates from the two parties. Plus, the prospect of serial Larry David appearances on SNL is irresistible!
