My ugly options are: New Jersey Transit, 11:44 PM (certainly miss a good portion of the show); 5:44 AM ("stay" with a friend in Philly...

Re: DBT at Princeton Univ. In March

Based on the Book of Face it seemed like a valiant effort to get there. Nothing to be ashamed at in the effort to get there. One concerning issue is that there were seemingly three grown men riding the train without libations. That's an absolute sin which you should repent for and be ashamed of. Ho...

Re: Born in the USA

Very interesting points about "the artist's culpability" (if any) when a song that means ONE thing is misinterpreted because of the musical accompaniment/approach. Talking of course about the title track of BITUSA, but I completely think that some DBT songs, especially "Surrender Under Protest" with...

Smart folks, who love music, talking intelligently about a band I love. In. :)

"A sense of community". THAT has been the amazing bonus of finding DBT, and this place. ("Mercy Buckets": a wedding song for people with a sense of humor).

Thank you, guys. Terrific insights.
