Did you get hit by any Bobby spit?

Have faith, my whelk-ish friend. It's got good bones.

After pics (and possibly a few "along the way" pics) will most soitenly be posted.

So, I decided 2 weekends ago to turn half of my garage into a mancave. Not that I really need to get away that often, but I just thought it would be nice to have a place to watch the game, drink some brews, maybe even sneak in my first nap in 10 years! There's a wall down the middle of the garage, s...

That is awesome Clams! He is rockin!

First time I've really checked out this thread. Dudes I thought were dudettes, and dudettes I thought for sure must be dudes.

Love it all!

....and I likely have a FRI and SAT night ticket (minus service charges) if anyone is looking. Still hoping to make it THURS, but the NYE hat trick was taken from me by the evil Mrs.

Thanks for being such a class act and ass kicking bass player Shonna. Wishing you success and happiness!

They'd kill Janie Jones, Last Gang in Town, Death or Glory, Hate & War, or Complete Control.

Jonicont, you gotta tell us about that!

Every single time (maybe 5 or 6 now) I have sent a music-aficionado-who-didn't-get-the-Truckers my copy, or a new copy, of Secret to a Happy Ending, they have been converted. It seems to do the trick, I think because it shows/proves that they are real people.

Love 'em!!

Love that David Crosby album, dee dee.

You mentioned Dee Dee and his drug habit? Well, there's the song "53 and 3rd" which Dee Dee wrote about a corner in New York City where male prostitutes would solicit business from male clientele, and this song was based on some personal experience of Dee Dee's. How else was he going to r...

Richie was on 4 albums in the mid-80's, from 1983-1987. Came in after Marky got booted for some booze-related reliability issues. He did a great job, imo. Even wrote the first single for Animal Boy, "Somebody Put Something in My Drink." He left when the band/Johnny would not give him what ...

That's fantastic - thanks for Sharon!

I agree - was a top 5 on GGB for me from the start, and has grown on me even more over time. The older I get, the more and more my Thanksgivings sound closer to that song. I remember seeing it live during a PH solo show at Alley Katz in Richmond about 5 years back and it was a bit dirge-like. I love...

Hard to know where to start here. My love for the Ramones goes way back, and it is equally split between my fascination with their distinct personalities and how they all worked together, and my love of their music. I've met them all many times over, saw them live somewhere b/w 10-15 times from '81 ...

Hang in there bro

Heading to DC tomorrow for Skins-Cowboys on Sunday. Not hopeful (for my Skins), but you just never know when these two play each other. I'll wear my Riggo jersey and see if I can cast a spell. The season started out so well for them, but alas, they have tanked. I hate to think that the rest of the w...

We all know this, but it must be said: how awesome is this board and its inhabitants!

Just coming across this thread for the first time....BACON!

Despite the CLEAR "Tweeter"rip (if you had that Wilburys album, you know the deal), I am a fan of WTWRD. Should have been on Blessing, but I understand why it wasn't.

As much as it pains me to write this, MeLady has clipped my wings for the New Years run. Long story, but "too many" shows recently (I've admittedly plumped up for the winter on a healthy diet of DBT meat), combined with not enough time w/ the fam, not enough $ in the shoebox under the bed,...

dayum!

C'mon Clams, get real. You can't slow this thing down.

As Arlo Guthrie would say, it's now become a "movement."

I wonder what it was between AHC & Gangstabilly that had Cooley emerging from the sidelight. I thought I read somewhere not too long ago that part of it was his realization that he could make some extra money if he wrote. Hope I'm not making that up, but don't think I am. I wish I could be a ma...

Hotels - so the Radisson and Hyatt options (links) are good ones. Thanks for posting.

Is there a place where it seems most of us are booking? I want to go ahead and get it done, and would love to try and book my room where most/all of you cats are gonna be.

Simply beautiful.

Maybe 150 for the first few DBT songs, and it swelled to maybe 300?? That's really surprising, since H-SC is only 45 minutes from Richmond, and DBT always does well there. That's not too far away for some promotion, is it? Glad to hear they put on a good show for the faithful - now that's not a sur...

We gots to know.....how was it??

If there's a good story behind those vases, I'd sure like to hear it. Everything else looks pretty normal.
