Re: DBT Tracks - Week # 6 - One of These Days

If it were Chicago, I can imagine "steam rising" could be a homeless person on a steam grate, but in downtown Birmingham it seems like actual "innards". Though it is part of his early catalog, the "time travel" within a song, or the "shifting perspective" (see "Filthy and Fried") is a common theme. ...

Re: DBT Tracks - Week # 6 - One of These Days

after hearing this 3 nights in a row at HHC 2024, this song has been in my head, and after sharing it with my 21-year-old son (who happens to live in Chicago), I got to thinking (I know, dangerous stuff), which led me back to this thread, and I am revisiting this song and trying to unpack it First v...

If you haven't booked flights yet, Round Trip from Philly was ridiculously expensive (at least for any flight not at 6:00 AM), but two one-way flights on different airlines were <$300 total... worth trying from various locations to save $$$

Not much to add beyond what has already been said, but Patterson was in full story-telling-mode last night in Philly, and the crowd opted for "a story" over "a good song" as an encore. I ...

Re: Books Thread

Just finished Stephen King's "Fairy Tales"... if you like King you will like/love this... similarities to 11/22/63 and From a Buick 8 for those who know.

Also the entire book is from one character's perspective, which I found interesting.

People still snort cocaine? She died a long time ago. Or at least the song was written a while back. I'm sure smitty can provide the relevant details. Sir? The first time it was performed that I know of was in 2001, so it's atleast that old - but I can promise powder still gets snorted, every day. ...

I like roundabouts. They ease the stop-start of traffic and reduce congestion.
