This Boston Q&A is freakin fantastic.

Didn't they post which items will be at which stores in previous years?

According to some they kind of did.

The hell you say. Rocky is a fine film.

Jane's Addiction Beastie Boys Wilco Fugazi Primus

Surprise hit? Surprise flop, is more like it. Over The Top reached #4 at the box office in its opening weekend. It was 68th biggest movie of the year (1987). Total domestic gross was just over $16 million. Compare that to Stallone's previous feature, Cobra, which was not considered a 'hit' for Stallone, yet grossed $49 million. If anything, Over The Top, a misguided, poorly received feature with a soundtrack by Sammy Hagar, marked the beginning of the decline of Stallone's bankability as an action star.

Seconded.

I'd never known JUDE to write so eloquently.

I hear the beliefs and methods of Rush Limbaugh in Tweedy's lyrics all the time. And being fat is not a sign of being a bad person. And he's awesome.

Why do you come to VC regularly? Apart from laughs - news, mostly. Sounds ridiculous even writing it, but this place has an uncanny ability to report on the stuff I'm interested in, across the board. What do you get out of coming here? A sense that I've wasted time. Community. How did you get into VC? Joined to find people who may have remembered a dead friend of mine (dude who got me into Wilco). Never made a connection in 5 years, until last summer. Do you consider yourself a Wilco fan, even if you hate AM/SBS/BT/MA/MA2/whichever album blew chunks? I like all their albums

Seen, not heard, on the road yesterday...

ATYCLB was not a #1? Huh.

In the middle of a huge snowstorm in 1994, my friend called and said he had an extra ticket for me to see Johnny Cash that night. I was in. I grabbed my coat and asked my dad for the car keys. When he said hell no, I pleaded for him to at least take me to the subway...hell no. I was stuck inside of Weymouth with the Man In Black blues again.

But what do you think of him? I love Elvis. Last Train To Memphis is crucial reading.

WZLX just had a caller on the line saying two 18-wheelers are unloading band equipment into the back entrance of the Somerville Theatre. And, tix for Watchmen are not available for tomorrow on the theatre's web site, and that's been playing in the big theatre. Perhaps it was already a foregone conclusion, but it's still fun to investigate...anyone gonna be there just to be there tomorrow?

I'll add to the raves for The Sun Also Rises. Great book.

Larry really saved Jerry by getting involved in Seinfeld the show. Jerry's standup schtick was already thin at that point. The show was a brilliant vehicle that made him palatable/funny.

Why isn't lower ticket prices a viable answer? Especially considering the state of the economy.

So is mentioning ?uestlove's name after asking a question, hence the -.

What do you mean it 'seems' - ?uestlove has said the band is retired from touring.

This is a damn good point - I've scratched my head over this too.

Apparently Pedro threw pretty well for the Dominican team yesterday in relief - 3 innings, 1 hit I think. Mayhaps he has some gas in the tank.
