Omigosh how are we all forgetting "California Stars", with all its grapes on vines, and friendly wine! Although that's actually a Guthrie lyric I guess. Chez, I have to ask, do you like pecan pie? The pie, not the song. Calvino, your dog cracks me up! Don't let him eat the green tomatoes in your garden, they have a substance that's harmful to dogs. The ripe ones are safe though. I loved your steak story. What a snooty fool of a waiter. Good for your wife, but sorry the mood carried over into the show! I hope the music gradually lifted her spirits. Sid, I do hope Jeff reads yo

I've been thinking lately about the primal passions that drive my favorite songs...surprisingly, it's not entirely lust! For example, how often does simple hunger drive a yearning lyric? Anyway it's my theory that Jeff was hungry like the wolf during the recording of " Love is the King". So we get delicious lyrics like: "Oh, tomatoes right off the vine We used to eat them like that All the time" And, "A pie left out that you can't consume So sweet, You cannot eat.." And, "Sun coming up, like a piece of toast" I don

Just buy it, so the rest of us can see pictures and be properly jealous.

That sounds reasonable to me. Thanks for sharing!

I'm always in love. With Lotti.

Good advice! Fingers crossed that it's a fix as simple as that. I loved tonight's long long long goodbye!

So are we all remembering to cancel our Bandsintown Plus accounts before our free week is over? It isn't much...$10/mo....but I really don't need another subscription to pay on. What do the rest of you think?

That was a terrific podcast with Wilco-knowledgeable hosts. Thanks for sharing!

Good to know! Thanks for your efforts. It was a helluva good show!

I've just finished reading McBride's "The Good Lord Bird". It was terrific!

Not you. I experienced the same. It's embarrassing when you're singing along and suddenly you're soloing! Fortunately the glitches were short. TCP, it sucks that you weren't able to watch. I hope somebody can provide a full setlist. Paul?

That was fabulous. I could watch that band for hours and hours and hours!

See you all then!

I remember he shut that idea right down. He saw you coming.

Hey shuddup. You're just jealous.

Thanks Bea Castillo!

Surely Trudeau can intervene! 🤣

I'm glad I got to see them live. RIP.

...may it be a peaceful transition.

Besides heaving huge sighs of relief, do you have any plans for Inauguration Day? Will you wear anything special, dance in the street, drink pink champagne, or throw a socially-distanced feast? Whatever you do, "Love is the King" will make a wonderful soundtrack. I'm so ready to feel hopeful, and inspired, again. I will be planting my Biden/Harris signs back in the front yard for the day, and we've left our Christmas lights and big inflatable waving snowman set up, so that we can light them and inflate them for this special day. I'm sure the neighbors will love our exuberance!

These are such great lists! A lot of the women you'd expect to see mentioned, but also a lot of less familiar or unfamiliar names. Makes me want to sample more. I may combine all these names into one master list for reference. Feel free to add any commentary if you want to explain a certain inclusion!

There are worse ways to go! Has anybody here read "Beautiful Ruins"? I'm just starting it, and already I can tell I'm going to love it.

My Want-to-Read list is swelling again!

You can get the vinyl on Discogs if you don't mnd it coming from overseas...but I also just found it on AmazonSmile. One of my favorite albums ever! And yes, this is the right section, since it's Wilco-related music.

This should have been a great time for catching up on reading (what with quarantine and all), but somehow a lot of my reading time went into trying like hell to comprehend our political drama. I've been longing for months to relax enough to immerse myself in a good book. Have any of you read the old Newbery Award winner, "The Twenty-one Balloons"? It was a favorite book of mine at about 12, and I've always wanted to reread it....Balloon explorer sets off in a giant balloon from San Francisco, meets disaster just off the coast of Krakatoa, which is supposedly uninhabited but turns out to have a
