I prefer seeing him with the Dukes, but tonight is a solo show. Long story, but there’s a good chance I’m having dinner with Steve before the show.

Steve Earle

I'm three episodes in on "Escape From Dannemora." Quite good.

+1. Fantastic photos. Question for you. What kind of ear plugs do you wear? My bother sent me a pair of Earpeace plugs that I've been using since December. It took a couple of shows to get used to, but I appreciate being able to hear the day after the show.

It was fantastic. Went by myself (which felt kind of weird), but stood in the front row and had a great time. Jon was hilarious and Deano was as animated as I've ever seen him. Plus, I met Jon before the show -- which was pretty great. I love the Waco Brothers -- more people should love them.

After the White Sox won the World Series in 2005, I haven't let losses by "my teams" bother me as much as I did before that. But this one hurts. Great game, great season.

I finally got around to viewing "Don't Look Back," the Bob Dylan documentary from the 1960's. I enjoyed it. Dylan could be quite the confrontational prick with the media (and others), but for my money, he's still the greatest songwriter in the history of songs.

Starting a new thread for the new year.

Cracker and Camper Van Beethoven

The Waco Brothers

We watched "I Tonya" today. Loved it!

That's awesome! Santa also brought me concert tickets -- The Blind Boys of Alabama and Teenage Fanclub.
