PSU president reportedly about to be gone: http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/breaking-news/index.ssf/2011/11/penn_state_president_graham_sp.html

Welcome. Back. Farrell.

Yup, Gricar's disappearance had to come up at some point. The connection has been on peoples' minds around here since Sandusky's arrest. No matter what the connection, the press will soon be running with it.

I watched video of the show of support outside JoPa's house last night ("We love you Joe!" "I love you too") with mixed emotions: the guy should by any standard be fired by now, yet he's also an 84 year-old whose positive contributions to the community of Happy Valley cannot be denied. At the very least he made a serious slip in judgement that he should pay for, but he's also a tired old man who looked genuinely moved by the support.

Does that include me?

I don't think it's deliberate, just more likely the interviewer "heard" it that way.

I got that.

West Warwick, RI will never forget them.

I'd be shocked if Dynamite isn't somewhere back there in these 48 pages.

Funny to see "mum" instead of "mom" - picturing Jeff saying "my mum" and "their mum" is kind of awesome though.

Oh, wow, never knew that was a Verlaines tune. I wonder why my exposure to The Verlaines is 100% connected to this one compilation?

Heavy 33 by The Verlaines is the best song on that. And there are so many good tunes, that's high praise.

So much nastiness. One of the more disturbing elements (for me personally) is that Gary Schultz, the former head of campus police, who was indicted over the weekend for basically keeping the whole thing on the down low, has a daycare center named after him, which my daughter attends. Yuck.

You should repost this here: http://viachicago.org/forum/27-need-tickets/ Good luck!

You've never seen All The Real Girls.

I just listened to this the other day, front to back. Sounds better than ever! Nice to see here.

Whoa - let's be factual here, particularly since there's enough nastiness in the facts. Joe Paterno did not witness anything. He was approached by a witness who saw Sandusky with a boy in the football showers, and he in turn forwarded that info to his Athletic Director. Which is a questionable move in my book, especially since he didn't seem to follow up on it even when the AD did nothing about it.

I love the Zeppelin comment. To me, The Who are all about Pete.

So, it's 1) "who knows" what they'll be saying in five years, and 2) there's no way they could be saying "we're still broken up" in five years.

I bought The Joshua Tree set (DVD/b-sides/photo prints) but that was only $50. I really can't imagine even thinking of shelling it out for this one.

Holy God I forgot about that.

Well, for a $125 you get a lot more than 6 songs, to be clear. I'm sure U2 Inc. takes into account that even though thousands of fans will just DL pirated copies, enough diehards will drop the dough for the whole thing to pay off.

I was talking about seeing 'drum solo' on any setlist, but yeah, Aerosmith setlists are pretty guitar-solo heavy in the first place.

Well, but I'm talking about a dedicated guitar solo, a la Jimmy Page or Eddie Van Halen.
