Sir Stewart

He is definitely a cool cat. Shame about that LV.

Except for the universal truth that no one has ever topped Prince. (I know my man mtn bed says he never cared about Prince, but I don't know if he ever commented on the man's SB perf)

I bring this up in totally non-partisan way: how long before Obama's first mistress speaks up?

Hey, enjoy the "Man I am young" moments, they don't come back once they go!

Shitty to hear it. Vibes man. Hope everything works out for the best.

So he was around 30 when the band got wicked famous? That seems about right.

How about: voting on finalists leading up to the game, and winner is announced/performs at halftime. I guess FOX would have to have the game for that.

Wow, did David Brent produce that? Awesome.

I might be wrong, but that's how I remember it. Aerosmith/Britney followed soon after, and besides the Janet debacle, it's been rock n roll.

ZZ Top did the halftime show in '97 (Pats/Packers), along with the bastardized Blues Brothers (and others I think). I remember thinking how odd it was that ZZ Top was there, since the halftime show was usually some fucked up Up With People shit. I didn't realize then that it was beginning of a new phase of the halftime show.

Your link didn't work.

Plus she's crazy hawt.

Yes, the result of a football game completely canceled out one of the most overwhelming tragedies in American history! They can remove it from the history books now!

Promo reel for Rolling Stones' 'Dirty Work' album: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRZZxFPoSOo Ah, the record industry in the 80s.

To think I 'voted' for this guy (Kerry '04). I never did trust that greasy grin.

Over the course of a few hours at The Spotted Pig in Salem, MA tonight: New Madrid(!), Outta Site (the jangly one), and The Late Greats.

I think I overreacted to Louie/Dude's replies. And calvino got it too. I poorly worded my original post. I can see how one would think I considered CITR to be potentially 'dangerous' before I read it, from what I wrote. What I should've said was it seemed 'menacing', or 'unsavory' to me, for the longest time. I sort of vaguely used to think: why would I want to read a book that obviously must have something so awful occur in it that MDC went and killed Lennon? Of course Lennon's fate was sealed when he said the boys were bigger than Christ, according to MDC, so, there's that, too.

I hear you, mostly - but I like a lot more of Naked than you. It falls apart after like 8 songs or so, for me. After that, each tune feels like it has to be last one....but it's not. Either way, I'm with you that these mark a band that was (as RS put it) Byrned out.

Yeah...I feel your pain. I think it was after getting The Rainbow Children that I gave up being a Prince completist.

I can vouch for at least one good show they had. (where's the uber-indie cred emoticon?)

It's such a crappy album I can't imagine 45 RPM could help. It's the worst Wilco album ever and it doesn't even have a close 2nd!

I'm really upset about this but I'm not telling which side I'm on.

The guy crashed a car that paralyzed his best friend for life. So, Leif Garrett's been a walking dead man for quite some time.

I liked the web site for Neon Bible. That was pretty awesome. EDIT: Hey it's still around: http://www.beonlineb.com/

Forgot about that!
