(AP) — As the last U.S. troops withdrew from Iraq on Sunday, friends and family of the first and last American fighters killed in combat were cherishing their memories rather than dwelling on whether the war and their sacrifice was worth it. Nearly 4,500 American fighters died before the last U.S. troops crossed the border into Kuwait. David Hickman, 23, of Greensboro was the last of those war casualties, killed in November by the kind of improvised bomb that was a signature weapon of this war. "David Emanuel Hickman. Doesn't that n

MLB reports Texas Rangers win Darvish negotiation rights.

I hope MLB tracks down the individual who leaked this and has them terminated. In the effort to be the first, people are really being hurt and humiliated. Braun has the test results leaked by somebody wanting to be the first to share a juicy story and he may now be forced to admit to an even more humiliting issue. Mike Sherman learned he was fired by a tweet because somebody wanted to impress their pal in the media. The most important things that has been lost in this era of instant information are integrity and restraint. The world is a coarser place.

Yes, but it more a comment on my idiocy than any reflection on you. Plus SS looks pretty cool

Excellent version of this one up on BT.ETREE... One of the best recordings I have ever heard

The most evident example of the Cult of Personality.

I know SS Jules dissed it, but the OP article was really pretty dang interesting.

Might that be due to it being played to death on MTV and the radio? Of do you not like the Jeff Lyne production?

I have some people say SOUTHERN ACCENTS was a miss, but I personally agree with you. Tom Petty is so consistently good that he often gets overlooked. That, and his everyman nature keeps him a bit under the radar. I think his battle to keep HARD PROMISES from being overpriced, the battle over the masters for DAMN THE TORPEDOES, and his combative relationship with the Brit Press in the beginning years may have led to the record industry not fully getting behind him as much as he deserved at important times.

The benefit nature of the show; the end of a five night stand in their hometown; the last show before the holiday break...adds up to an epic night and an apparent thankyou to the Chicago fans. I am envious. This band is at the peak of its powers, everybody seems to be on their A game every night. One can only hope that there will be another six months or so of tourning after the jaunt over to Europe in early 12.

So...it was YOU doing the talking. I knew it. the song was sublime. The emotion was palpable. Nels...incredible. Jeff...in another zone. Wonderful, wonderful song and performance. The chick needed to shut the fuck up. Simple as that. How is that a buzzkill?

LOL That made me grin like a monkey flinging poo

By a 'yacht rock band'? Unless you think "horse with no name'\" is about smack.

Really hope there's a multi-media release after this tour (DVD/CD). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNUG6-E2RQg&feature=related

Holy crap that was annoying.

Abso-freaking-lutely MARVELOUS.

A top 20 song about smoking heroin? Must be Steely Dan. These guys were absolutely decadent and subversive and deserve much better than to be called 'Yacht Rock'. Son you better be ready for love On this glory day This is your chance to believe What I've got to say Keep your eyes on the sky Put a dollar in the kitty Don't the moon look pretty Tonight when I chase the dragon The water will change to cherry wine And the silver will turn to gold Time out of mind I am holding the mystical sphere It's direct from lhasa Where people are rolling in the snow Far from the world we know Children w
