If anyone needs an intense, fast-paced story to take your mind off the current political/pandemical situation, here's your book! From 2017, the debut novel of Gabriel Tallent: It's terrific, but not for the faint of heart. An abuse story. So beautifully told...I had trouble putting it down when I needed to sleep! I'll be watching this author.

I'm hating this more by the minute. TCP, your view of our situation is a grim one, but I think you're right. trump & cronies are taking full-advantage of lifetime appointments, and what we are leaving our children and theirs is ugly.

I hate to think it but I tend to agree. Until we can get the idiots to socially-distance and wear masks, Covid isn't going away and music festivals aren't coming back.

I'm hearing rumblings on twitter that Pence has cancelled his upcoming schedule. If true, I wonder what that's about? Is trump sick enough that Pence may need to take over? Or does Pence himself have covid? Somebody get that poor fly tested.

A good read! https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/amp34293371/jeff-tweedy-wilco-new-solo-album-book-interview-2020/

I will happily vouch for this beautiful film! Gorman, I'm sorry the pandemic has tossed such a monkey wrench into your plans, and just about everyone else's (Thanks, trump!) But we'll all just roll with it and somehow you'll get through. VCers, if you are fans of Wilco, you will want to see this. Jay was such an important part of that incarnation of Wilco, and this time his story is told with honesty, compassion, and a lack of vindictiveness. It's the story of an artist and his life. You will go away deeply moved. Keep us advised, Gorman.

I think trump made a major misstep in not condemning white supremacists tonight. That's gonna bite him right in his saggy white ass.

Thanks Neuroglue Tom for your efforts here! And thanks as always to our members assisting each other.

If you're still looking for it, try Discogs. They had a bunch but many are shipped from overseas.

Ha! As if you've ever truly been "wrong".

What are your thoughts? I'm sick at heart, but determined to resist however I can. I can't believe we've sunk so low. How are the rest of you; what are you doing and thinking?

So after I'd insisted that "I Wish I was Ian Dury" had been played live, and Jeff was unsure, of course I had to tear my cd racks apart to locate a recording. At first I got nowhere because I was scanning for Ian's name in the tracklistings. But then I remembered the title that had been floating around back when we didn't know the real one...as Paul said, "Turn Around and Come Back to Me". Once I remembered that, I found a show easily. The Blue Note, Columbia MO, on 10-6-95. I think it was played several times that summer & fall. Another fun factoid for the clients! How's this

Well of course Susie noticed! She likes your recaps.

Haha, Ziggy! Keep up the great detective work! I love these little details.

Thanks always for doing your great recaps, Kristofor!

Yes, Paul, surprise new update as of the wee hours this morning. Once we all adapt to navigating the new board, you'll find it has many improved features. Photos can now be posted with a simple drag-and-drop, for instance. Thanks always for your reviews!

So what do you think of our upgrade? Go ahead, wander around, get your bearings. It's new to your moderating staff too, so bear with us as we discover together what happens when we click that button! There will be tweaks and improvements as we go, but for now I hope you will all thoroughly enjoy our new community playground! Big thanks to our admin Neuroglue (Tom) for long hours put in to make this happen. We'll all be stumbling around a bit as we adapt to our new surroundings, but please contact a moderator or admin, or post in the Speakers Speaking forum if you encounte

Hey Clients, Just a heads up to tell you that Via Chicago will be down late tonight for some much-needed maintenance. We'll see you all on the flip flop. Estimated timeframe is between midnight to 4 a.m.

That was a terrific show. The last song left me wrapped in warm fuzzies that lasted all night.("Save It for Me")

Wasn't that a great show?!! Loved that closing song after the terrific encore, and all those happy car horns!

Yep, I'm doing a lot of wishful thinking right now. I hope a wish or two are answered in November.

Spreading the Tweedy Show love on a rare outing to the beach at Crystal Cove, CA (I'm going to have to remove this beauty to eat my lunch, though!)

Dearest Jeff, May today bring you balloons and surprising gifts and sprinkles on cakes and blowing out candles without accidentally igniting your beard! I guess by now you know how much Via Chicago loves you. Happy 53rd, you young pup. Keep amazing us. We are so very glad we know you.

How the hell are you? Safe and sound I hope. This storm system sounded intense. Check in & let us know!

These sound fantastic!
