One More Saturday Night

Warren was sharp, there was very little aimless noodling, and the sound was excellent. I would recommend catching any and all possible future shows (with this lineup)

I am finishing up my finals week, and intend to begin posting more frequently (as in more than not at all) but first, piles of tests to grade....

I love reading Lex and SoliCit, but I wish that Wobs, Dave3544, and Ash would come out of retirement or "whatever", return to the OG, and we could have even more extended dialogue and good-natured back-and-forth over the ongoing apocalyptic deterioration of the "free" market system, the debate over holding torturers accountable, and of course the sad saga surrounding EFCA. Helloooo????? Are you out there?????? Would it kill you to post once in a freakin blue moon? (like me....)I know you comment here and there, but that isn't the same thing......just sayin. organize some serious grievances.... work it out........love is the answer... (I might be slightly influenced by my experiences from last night, but still....)

Inaugural Jams

I wasn't there, but there were some significant musical moments during the inauguration.

Before the big day there was this gem at the Lincoln Memorial:



and this sweet moment:


and then "the dead" crapped it up at a post-inaugural ball, the mid atlantic ball. They sounded pretty "loose." Let's hope they figure it out before the spring tour. Here is the "best" snippet I have found from their show...typical dead not playing well at the "big" gigs....they look Highlarious in the tuxedos...


any that I have missed? (I know Bon Jovi was there, no comment)
