I'd DL Bob reading Mapquest directions to his doctor's office.

I wonder if that's when we first heard about the "nine chapters" plan. People can talk crap about Lucas all they want - and I do it myself plenty - but I was still in my single digits ('81, '82) when I heard about Obi Wan vs "Darth Vader" (we didn't know the name Anakin then) and Darth Vader falling into a lava pit and getting scarred and almost dying and that's why he had all that breathing and masking crap on him. My brother and I acted it out on our back porch at least once. Over twenty years later, seeing ROTS, and that shit actually happening, was a uniquely satisfying experience.

My favorite moment in any of Bob's XM shows is the way he pronounces "Lake Monona" when talking about Otis' death. EDIT: Found it: http://www.filestube.com/5d12f61d0ef23a9403ea/go.html

I would have bet that too - in fact....it didn't? EDIT: Huh.

That game fucking RULED! The sound of the smashing-- wait, didn't it also shake, like the whole thing shook when you smashed a building in? Or was the sound just that damn satisfying that I'm thinking it shook. When you walked into the gameroom of Colonial Bowl, that game was on the right, the first video game after two pinball machines. That fucking game RULED!!

Did you read this part?

It would certainly be a hoot if he did I Want To Hold Your Hand or another from that list. I bet he will. That or, Vanilla Sky.

Indeed! I'd only been hearing 'On and On and On' - I'll listen for this though.

I think it's playing when Karen confronts Henry after he stands her up - "who do you think you are, Frankie Valli or some bigshot?"

This one is so Summerteeth-esque, to me. It's got that nothingsever / always in love / elt energy.

That song was in GoodFellas, too - so if you want to get Whoopi out of your head you can replace her with Joe Pesci.

Methinks there was a power source in that unibrow.

I recall Bob being quoted around the release of the 'Albert Hall' volume saying 'if I thought it was any good, I'd have put it out years ago' or something. I wonder if he's still as invested in his back catalog, and The Basement Tapes is one of the victims. Somehow I think he doesn't concern himself with that stuff so much anymore.

It would be such a natural for the Bootleg Series.

Certainly sounds bigger and a little cleaner. But what about those blips in the first thirty seconds?

Barack > Palin > Michelle

Haha, now that you've shown a spotlight on it, it clearly makes no sense.

Ten foot six.

This thread isn't fun anymore.

I thought A Tree With Roots is The Genuine Basement Tapes distilled down to its best bits.

Papi's 11th homer of the year is also his 300th career dinger.

I get it now. I'm not that smart. But they should really advertise available space when giving size specs, is my point.
