And the English have odd taste in American comedians. I think Hall is fine, but the rest of the bunch does nothing for me. And I'll call out Katherine Ryan, even though she's Canadian.

Especial is more popular than Corona by a good measure in my area (coastal OC) if display space is any indication. I do wish they sold Negra in cans for the price of Especial though.

I gotta say, that late 70's line up was unbelievable live and shamed many a headliner.

Counterpoint: To Live and Die In LA.

Uh…. I gotta be close. Like high 90s.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation is the lobbying arm of the manufacturers. Though the NRA is gone so far off the rails there's no telling anymore.

Well, I've heard almost every show extant at least once and 71 through 77 or so too many times to count, (and attended my fair share of shows, certainly over 30) and I'll stand by my statement. Differing improv sections and minor differences in arrangements don't equal completely different songs. Even Miles never…

Well, Deadheads have never really cared about the studio (or official live albums either) albums to be fair. It's been about tapes as long as I can remember (early 70's).

I like the Dead and the 90% of Deadheads who aren't itinerant carny dirtbags just fine.

When you match up a few hundred Dead shows on a playlist you quickly discover their set lists were not nearly as varied as legend would have it.

That "traveling town of hippies and societal drop-outs" is what made seeing a Dead show such a shitty experience (at least in the west coast states) past '80 or so, unless you avoided the lots completely. It was more tolerable in Europe by far.

Prostitutes are cleaner, and easier to lure to your basement. Just sayin'.

I often leave my phone on my nightstand for days or weeks on end, so no one expects to hear from me in any kind of timely fashion.

Yeah, that is an odd take in my experience as well. Does he not play guitar live anymore? I haven't seen him since Nearly Human, so I'm behind.

This article really belongs in Tiger Beat.

Wait, people hate Doctor Detroit now? It used to be a fairly well liked late night staple.

It was always front loaded, the the first musical break, then you'd shut it off or suffer through for the second if you liked the musical guest.

Unfortunately. Especially where I live. 8+ years and I still haven't found a place I'd be a regular.

If I owned a Rolls I'd keep a case of Poupon in the back seat just for such occasions.

I don't watch GOT, because I'm very over the main storyline, but stand alone stories set in the same universe might tempt me to take a look.
