  1. Having turned 60 myself a month ago, I can empaphize with Brian. Bottle Rockets have had a pretty good run. 1 year at SXSW they gave me & my friend a ride to a gig in the band van. NIce guys.
  2. I didn't order the vinyl box. I pre-ordered the dvd as a standalone. When the project was first announced that wasn't an option but it was added later. I think it was $19.99 + shipping. I bought the cd at my local record store. That Neil era is holy ground for me. I saw 2 dates late on the Weld tour & was supposed to see another one but it got cancelled. While I didn't see this show I did get to see Crazy Horse do a club show in Vegas on the Greendale tour (I saw 3 shows that tour, spaced apart). It was at the Joint before the remodel so it was only 1200 capacity then. The stage was too sm
  3. Thanks. I've been doing various cocktails for a long time now with no end in sight. Once I get the vaccine we're going to try some different things with the auxillary drugs. With the way things have turned out with the pandemic & with the unnamed aerospace giant I used to work for, I'm really glad I finally listened to the doctors & got out a year & a half ago. I don't have cancer but a really rare & aggressive version of rheumatoid arthritis like what killed Glen Frey. They use cancer drugs to try & slow the progression.

  4. With so much good new music this week (Nick Cave, Neil Young, etc) I'm chilling with a good book. I've got chemo Tuesday & it will wipe me out at least until next weekend. It's always a good plan to go into that sort of rested up.
  5. Ya. sadly he died in 2017 at age 62. He had some serious health issues. I knew him a little from music biz days & mutual friends. He did a show in Vegas at the Riviera for quite awhile where he talked about & played music that influenced him + some of his stuff. It was really good & I got to hang out with him after the show. We had met several years before. It was kind of an unusual booking for Vegas but nice as he got a decent income from it. He was also still doing Smithereens shows periodically. I don't think he ever put out a bad record & always was great live. The first ti
  6. miss these guys. RIP Pat DiNizio
  7. It's really good. All Matthew except for the drums. He's got his long time drummer Rick Menck covering that. Matthew has put out a string of really good records that have sort of flown in under the radar. Less distractions back living in Omaha, haha. I know him a little from back in the day. He produced a demo for some friends & have hung out with him some at some record label functions back when there were record label functions. I probably have a good story somewhere that wouldn't be politically correct to share here haha. Really nice guy. I've been a fan since Girlfriend. Still 1 of my
