I'm trying to remember which day was colder; an opening day in April at Wrigley Field or a late September ballgame again at Wrigley in the bleachers.

Why do bands like The Who keep on touring, even when half of the original band is dead? Mind you, I'd have killed the band after Moon's passing - like Led Zep did once they lost Bonham, or at least I'd have changed the band's name like Joy Division did when they became New Order. I always respecte Bauhaus because they didn't keep the band running once things weren't working out - Peter Murphy went on his solo career and the other guys became Love And Rockets...

yes because Paris is too far away.

Been reading a lot of "100 best albums ever!" lists lately, and i'm honestly thinking that less than half of them deserve to be on there. Music journalism makes me insane.

Children of the '80s: Can you possibly fathom a world in which that woman was on network television all the time? This is what a mixture of the Vietnam War, hallucinogens, and disco does to a culture.

Funnily enough, did you know she's a really good Spanish guitarist. A protegé of Segovia.

Nah, it's only growing, but i doubt it will ever completely supplant DVD.

Meanwhile, Why is it that every other coffee in my vicinity (save for gas station tar) tastes better than Tim Horton's, but none of them can give me that same caffeine jumpstart that Timmies does? Maybe it's the meth amphetamine in Tim's coffee that does the trick?

why would anyone intentionally move to cleveland?
wait a minute...why would anyone deliberately live more than 50 miles from the ocean. yes that's a better question.

I think closeness to the ocean can be directly correlated to the amount of fiddles, accordions and hand drums in your local music. I live in a veritable musical smörgåsbord of fiddles, accordions and hand drums.

Re the first question perhaps the Cuyahoga River will again catch fire. For the second I can only look at it subjectively - if the BP oil doesn't reach us the venomous lionfish just might.

Just listened to the new IRON MAIDEN album for the first time, and it's the first time I've been disappointed by the band since "No Prayer for the Dying" in 1990 (the only other letdown being 1998's Virtual XI.) It's not that it's rubbish, it just isn't as strong as their last few, which ranked with their career best in my book.

I'm about to spend 4 - 5 hours watching some "renowned" folk singer songwriter, after just spending 2 hours at a BBQ listening to this smarmy douche and his wife drop a shock and awe campaign on heavy metal that would make you think Black Sabbath had taken a crap on his lawn, Dio threw a baseball through his window, and the entire late 80s Thrash scene took turns with his old lady. Really looking forward to it, I must thank my wife and in-laws for such a marvelous Friday.

It's part of the "folk musician" DNA. The reason Kev hasn't been successful is because he hasn't been a hate mongering douche when it comes to other genres of music.

Sure, but whatever chemical additive that Timmies puts in their tar has much more addictive qualities than regular old coffee... My money is on Meth Amphetamines. No one in the country will test the shit because they fear what would happen if some lowly politician attempted to ban Tim Horton's coffee...

This probably goes without saying but having to deal with the emotional fall-out when a close friend of the family is involved in the wrong end of a murder/suicide kind of sucks.
