Well my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splickly out to my old '55 As I drove away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive. Now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck, freeway cars and trucks, Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade Just a-wishing I'd stayed a little longer, Oh, Lord, let me tell you that the feeling's getting stronger. And it's six in the morning, gave me no warning; I had to be on my way. Well there's trucks all a-passing me, and the lights are all flashing, I'm on my way home from your place. And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding

Excellent suggestion! :headphone emoticon

So many brilliant talents never untangle from their shadows long enough to reach full potential. He and Tweedy made rare magic together. Alchemy. What a huge drag. think of me as one you'd never figured would fade away so young with so much left undone

At the thrift store today, Should I Stay Or Should I Go came on and I played air guitar, sang and danced. Mostly I can't help it.

My kid is better behaved and more respectful of people around her than drunks. Drunks do things like dive off stage on to innocent bystanders and screech at the top of their lungs into the ears of people there to hear music. All she does is dance.

Hi Clay! My daughter's first show was Wilco when she was 7, I think. She has now been to many shows; Beck, Arcade Fire, Andrew Bird and Wilco, who she has seen at least a half dozen times. Her dad also takes her to shows. She'll be 13 next week. I have created a monster. A seated show has none of these concerns, but at a GA show these considerations are important: I try to be on the rail, so that she can be in front of me and can see. EARPLUGS Be prepared to shield your kid's body with your own. At the Arcade Fire show, a drunk guy jumped on stage, then dove back out into the audi

I don't give a fuck what genre the book gets filed under, or Frey's intentions. I've given up judging people by my perception of their intention. It's difficult enough for me to discern my own intention. I personally know two actual human beings (an alcoholic and a junkie) for whom that book was profoundly affecting. The book is 6 years old and both are still clean. Shrug. It's not like trying to prove the veracity of the Bible. I still think this is the most likely scenario.

Me too since sight line is to the roof of Maders.

Interesting perspective on the shot then.

Ha! Great minds...

How'd they get the camel up there?

I'm pretty sure he's hitting on isadorah. :popcorn

I wished you a happy birthday in the parallel universe. I'll be hogtied before I wish you happy birthday a second time.

I'm sending kisses and snuggly hugs and harmonies in your ear. Miss you, sugar. Hope you are well and having a wonderful day. See you on the road sometime this summer.

Thank God there's someone on this board that's older than me. Except for Analogman, but he calculates his age in dog years. Hope you have a great day and a terrific year, Lou.

This album is good.

Bastards.

Sarah's daddy with his pride and joy. Bonneville Star Chief. Sigh. What a car. RIP Pontiac. You made some beauts.

I don't know but (while we weren't talking about swine flu), my evangelical Christian prophet friend told me that the Lord had told him 3 times in the past month to start stock piling food.

I'm not sure if Nickel Creek is on Rounder, but their roster includes a who's who of American roots music; bluegrass (signed Allison Krauss as a fiddle player at 14), zydeco and Celtic. They have been around since 1970. Nice marriage, Son Volt and Rounder, methinks.

Rounder Records. Innaresting.

I agree with every word blue said. Except the whiskey part. I don't know nuthin' 'bout no whiskey.

Spare and beautiful. Perfect morning reading this week on the cusp of spring:
