We are such lucky fans.

If I hadn't already been totally smitt, I'd be smitten by now. What an incredible live band.

So nice sharing this with all of you in virtual reality, across all the miles between us.

Beautiful......as the sun gets low in the sky (I'm on CA time), this gorgeous song.

Who tripped over the main power cord???

Cut out on me, too!

Ahhhhh.......now it's lazy, wonderful summertime! Jeff, band, you sound GREAT.

Black Eyed Snakesssssssssssssss.

it's not up for me yet?anyone else?

You should be able to hear the webcast now, although it won't be Wilco for almost another hour.

Ok, I have music......now let's make it into Wilco.

I sent a note to Ken W. to ask if it was still on.....will report here if I hear back. Or Ken may come on & let us know as he sometimes does. Keep the faith, I suspect we may just be jumping the gun a bit.

I needs me some live Wilco.

Holy shit, Roky Erickson! I remember when I could hear his music through my mother's womb. Oh wait, that must have been a dream. Still, excellence!

That sounds like a great show! I'd have loved to hear Bermuda and Two Headed Dog live, not to mention the rest of that list.

I am jealous of these shows you are seeing.....sounds so much fun! also, Bridget, extremely cool avatar.

you should just let him do laminated cat then.

You may have a point.

Awesome.... now to decide whether I let my band in on it, or do it all by myself....

Either way I'm sure you'll make us proud.

Alright then.. What about Won't Let You Down? Is it on the list and I'm just looking over it?

Nope, it's all yours! Excellent persevering!!!

Man... I keep going, "Ooo, I'll do-- wait... no, that's been done... but, what abou-- no, that was done, too. Say! What about doi--rats, beaten again."

 

It's frustrating. I give up. All my favorites have been taken.

I'm sorry, but giving up is not allowed.

What's that about? Seems like I've read a good review somewhere.

Candyfloss, please.

 

(Can this please, please be the start of a 12-page thread about what the food and atmosphere would be like if one of us opened a Wilco-themed restaurant? i.e. there's a young mother and her 7 year-old son sitting in the corner booth he says, "I'll have a scoop of Candyfloss please, waitress." To which she replies, "no, Stephen! It took forever to get Reservations to this restaurant for Monday. Plus, you haven't finished your Pieholden Suite yet! One junkfood at a time!" "Aw, gee-willikers, Ma!" "You heard me, Stephen! Now drink your Blood of the Lamb so we can go back to the dentist's office and return the Magazine Called Sunset you stole from the waiting room and appologize to Dr. Toothman before he calls the police and they say I Got You!" )

 

Wow. Sorry 'bout that... I only had like 2 at first, then this whole story popped into my head. That's what I do. I waste people's time.

You sound just like a student who has a very important paper to write which is due tomorrow and which only has a badly written introductory paragraph. Those kind of things always brought out the totally-unrelated-creativity in me.

So go write your paper, and I'll log you in for "Candyfloss".

PS - Do you suppose Dr. Toothman lets the kid use candyfloss? And wouldn't that be unethical?

Donna, I really liked "Complications" too! If you're in the mood for another book by a doctor, this is one of my favorites. It's a collection of beautifully written short essays about his work in the emergency room.

 

Thanks Laura! That sounds fabulous. You haven't steered me wrong yet.

Nah, I am unworthy of that woman's greatness. I think she got Gary's more legible setlist. I was the wannabe hipster that stood in front of Marc and just reached over and grabbed his setlist in the most ungraceful way possible.

Yes, but thanks to you and your snappy thinking and setlist-posting, I can now correct the several vaguely and creatively titled songs on the setlist I kept during the show! So I thank you.

Sorry we didn't get to meet! Always nice to meet the locals.

I haven't read that! I need to get ahold of a copy.

I just finished reading a book my son Brennan was assigned for a class.....called "Complications", it is a collection of essays on a surgeon's life, and is more fascinating than I expected it to be. I read it in two days flat. The author is Atul Gawande. Highly recommended.

My favorite Oliver Sacks is a big thick collection I have which includes Awakenings (so much more powerful than the movie version), A Leg to Stand On, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, and Seeing Voices. Awe inspiring stuff. There is so much we have yet to learn about the human brain!

Oliver Sacks is brilliant! His books are the sort that I whisk off to somewhere hidden......that tucked-away garden bench for instance......to continue to read when life is calling with the little house-and-yard chores. I find his stuff very, very hard to put down! The human mind is something else, and he is a gifted writer.
