Re: RIP Ben Rudin "UncleFrank23"

Hi Everyone - if you follow us on caring bridge I just updated the journal. The ice bucket challenge has brought some much needed attention to ALS but it is a reminder of just how much we miss Ben. I'm looking forward to the show in Champaign. Music continues to bring all of us comfort. Hope you're ...

Re: RIP Ben Rudin "UncleFrank23"

I am still working on getting all the formal thank you notes out, but I can't thank all of the 3DD folks for their kindness. This journey has allowed the boys and I to meet many wonderful people, but none better than the DBT family. I will be at the show in Champaign on Sept 14 (it is a 21 and over ...

Re: RIP Ben Rudin "UncleFrank23"

Hi Everyone - it's Becca. I can't tell you how much you all meant to Ben. I believe DBT is one of the reasons he was able to fight this horrible disease. Thank you for being "family" to us. Someone asked for an address for the scholarship fund. Checks can be made out to Truckin with Ben an...

Re: Truckin' With Ben Against ALS ***UPDATED FOR 2104

Thanks so much for all the support from our friends here at 3DD. It is amazing how much DBT means to Ben and how all of you have touched our lives in ways that we will never forget. I have truly enjoy going to the shows not only for the music, but to see all of you. I will post pictures after Saturd...

Re: NCAA Tournament? Brackets?

thanks guys, I haven't checked this thread or my brackets in well over a week because I assumed I had lost. It seems odd to have Wichita State beating Virginia in the final game, yet I still win??

Hey Gary-

Re: Homecoming 2014: Feb 13-15

Were driving from central Illinois. So if we attempt to make it to Nashville, we should stay north and west of the storm. Then it just depends on how quick Atlanta/Athens melts on Thursday morning/afternoon. It is a little risky because stop and go traffic really takes a toll on me. Looks like it wi...

So we are supposed to drive from here to Nashville this afternoon (about 6 Hour Dr.) and then from Nashville to Atlanta tomorrow (Thursday). We have no idea what to do. Wait and try to make the whole drive on Thursday (but not sure if I could take a late-night rock show after an 11 Hour Dr.). Drive ...

Re: MLB 2013

I just heard that David DeJesus received a standing ovation from Cub fans last night pinch hitting for the Nationals. I'm dumbfounded. Not that he was a bad player in Chicago but he was an ordinary one playing for bad teams. I don't get it. This blog explains it pretty well http://www.bleachernatio...

Re: MLB 2013

Don't sleep on José Fernandez getting NL RoY. Yes, Puig would have to slump these last six weeks, but it isn't necessarily the foregoing conclusion. Team record doesn't seem to matter much to the rookie of the year voters.

Re: DBT at CPT?

Austin isn't considered an official release. At least by Patterson anyway (according to the DBT website). He calls GGB their 11th album. Funny that they don't list Live From Austin, TX but they do include Ugly Buildings, Whores, and Politicians - Greatest Hits 1998-2009 , both of which were release...

Re: DBT at CPT?

I'm confused by "DBT 12". This would either their 10th proper studio album, or 13th official release. Ten studio albums and one live album makes eleven. The DVDs don't count unless you put them out on VHS. Two live albums, plus TFP Austin isn't considered an official release. At least by ...

Album of the week -Murdering Oscar (and other love songs)

Sorry about how late this post is. When I volunteered for this, I had anticipated the voice recognition software wouldn't be quite so cumbersome. Duality. It is long been a feature in DBT's work. That theme continues in Patterson's second solo album. Songs written at different times, in different e...
