^^^ The Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago had an incredible Bowie installation at the end of last year. Stunning both visually and aurally.

Well written, excellent piece. Thanks for posting. I couldn't get "Ronnie and Neal" out of my head while reading it!

^^^ How do you like the new Tame Impala? I loved Lonerism.

The Waco Brothers.

The first real concert I ever attended was Yes (in the round) at the International Amphitheater in Chicago in 1977. I saw them again in Champaign in around 1979. Loved Yes in the 70's then quickly moved on and grew out of them. Chris Squire was an incredible musician. RIP.

Moss -- Thanks for the tips!

My bother is getting married this weekend in Fort Collins, CO -- coincidently the same weekend (and location) as the Colorado Brewers' Festival. Anyone else going? Tips for a rookie?

^^^ Good call on "Fearless" -- my favorite PF song.
