Really looking forward to that new Alice Cooper record. I've seen him play eight or nine times and would kill to see an original lineup tour.

I liked the last record quite a bit, looking forward to this.

It's like an extra member of the band.

I'll be honest, I don't know either. And I really don't care. Also, I'm old. I'll ask one of my kids.

Fuck it, you know what, that was a little harsh. It's my favorite ride there, but where does it stop now. You have a likely real life domestic abuser shown multiple times. There's tons of drinking, stealing, violence. I mean, the whole fucking thing is un PC as hell and it seems a slippery slope.

Lame. What's next, that drunk guy sitting in the slop with the pigs being removed because he may or may not be engaging in bestiality?

Just saw Sarah Shook play last night and picked up the record. Apparently it's been out for a couple years but Bloodshot just picked it up and rereleased it with a new full length coming Spring of 2018. Recommended if you wish Lydia Loveless had gone harder country after her first Bloodshot record instead of going…

I need to get on that one, I'm going to see him next month and should check out the new stuff. I'm assuming he's really pissed off.

Welp, I'll be trying them now. That sounds right up my alley. Thanks.

He really is one of the finest songwriters nobody's heard of (and one of the nicest damn guys too).

Or the VU 50 years ago etc. It's nothing but a regional bias. I mean, I get it, there are some local bands I like more than national acts doing the same thing, but it's awful lazy from a criticism standpoint.

It was really weird. I thought maybe he misheard her at first. But, on the plus side he knew exactly what we needed every time we went back up there.

My wife and I went to Nashville about five years ago and asked the bartender for the "Pabst Tallboy", which to fucking everybody as far as I know can easily identify as the tall cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon. Not this doofus. My wife had to point it out to him and he casually dismisses her with "Oh, we just call it…

Come to Milwaukee and check out the local places. Sobelman's is a pass for me (even though they get all the press because of the gimmicky Bloody Marys). My favorite burger in town is at Oscar's on the near South Side. That place is fantastic and the owners are great people.

I think Hot Dog is winning so far this year if my memory holds up (and if the standings haven't changed too much in the last week).

I have one of those Traeger deals so if I go really low and slow on it (there's no exposed flame, so limited chances of splitting) I might be able to pull it off.

Is East Dubuque still the den of sin it was 15 years ago or so when I went? Hookers and drugs and crappy cover bands and cops that just don't care as long as you get out of town in one piece at the insanely late bar time. I loved it.

Sorry if I ever spilled a drink on you. I use to be a little out of control.

It's awesome. My family hates it, but goddamn do I love the singing saw.
