Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
I've taken a small amount of pride in being a fan that saw the band before/during/after. But maybe that's sadly untrue. I think your bona fides as an early adopter, keen judge of music, heAthen before there were heAthens and all around cult elder are fully established whether or not Jason was on st...

Wow, that's a blast from the past! Great memories of him as a frontman and especially as a member of the classic Return to Forever lineup. How was he?

the riskiest possible candidate High risk and disappointing for sure. But riskiest possible? That sounds like a perfect Democratic debate, i.e. one that is likely to end up resembling a circular firing squad, lol. Depending on how ornery I'm feeling I could argue that in several ways. Here's a most...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit
Amidst what we now take to be the usual sturm und drang of the instantaneous news cycle, one factoid this week stands out to me as potentially significant if only I knew what to actually make of it. Twenty percent of the Republican voters* who turned out for an uncontested presidential primary in In...

My mom. Last weekend, after a long long battle with alzheimers (15+ years since we first noticed symptoms). I'm sad but relieved her ordeal is finally over. So sorry for your family's loss, Clams. Such a horrible thing to have to witness a loved one going through. A terrible experience and a terrib...

Re: Southern Rock Opera Redux
Sounds like they are just calling this long-lost song "Mystery Song" as of now. I've now heard a little of the background about this song and it seems that not only does nobody remember recording it, nobody even remembers writing it! Given Patterson's memory for all things musical and DBT that in i...

Teenage Fanclub last nite at the Paradise in Boston. They were very good; better than I remember when I saw them in London a long time ago. They did this shtick at the end of the main set essentially saying that there would be a 4 song encore so don't think this is the real end of the set. My guess...

If Don Winslow really is going out, he's going out in style.

Re: Artist of the Week 04/18/11 - Neil Young
"Down By the River" as the 5th song in the set? I guess Neil has classics to burn, but still that seems to be a little cavalier as a matter of showmanship. But then, many of you are more familiar w/ Neil's approach to performing than I am.

I don't see many articles asserting that Gazans blame Hamas to any extent for the disaster and horrors they face daily. Should they? If it's true. Apparently at least some people do think so.

An extremely despairing time to be alive. True. This will be the greatest tragedy of any of our lifetimes. I don't know how one would measure this and the disaster in Gaza is plenty terrible but I'd say this is unlikely. How does it compare to the 500-800,000 deaths in the Rwandan civil war? Over 2...
