Chez

^^^ Completely agree. I've never seen them live and am by no means a "superfan," but I own almost all of their albums (and Ness solo albums) and enjoy the hell out of them.

The restaurant attached to Thalia Hall is supposed to be excellent, but it's really hard to get in there on the night of a show. The food at the Laguinitas Brewery down the road is good. The beer is even better!

Other than music, my other main interest is sports. I'm a die-hard White Sox fan (which ain't easy these days) and also follow the Blackhawks and Illini closely. Sports and music. I guess I haven't evolved much since I turned 12!!

Wow. This a tough one. Richard Thompson.

KevinG -- didn't mean to offend or upset you. While I applaud and admire your passion, I feel like while you were defending your argument, you actually made mine (and probably better than I could have).

Well, we will agree to disagree. It's not the right thing to do unless you're embroiled in a dispute while sitting in a sandbox or playground.

I can't stand Trump and what happened to Merrick Garland, but "payback" (if one feels the need for payback) shouldn't come in the form of rejecting Gorsuch. He is unquestionably qualified and a solid pick (Trump could have picked far, far worse). Al Franken is embarrassing himself and should STFU in my opinion.

Has Spoon ever made a bad album?!

^^^ The new album is supposed to be a rocker.

^^^ I put it on my buy list. Thanks for the recommendation.
