I COULD go back in and edit that, but where would be the fun in that? Imagine if it WAS Daniels? Woo...menacing... Nice catch. I actually saw R.E.M. at Nassau Colisseum on Long Island in '89 - but, same difference. Billy - You know, I'm glad you said that - I think I would have been disappointed if someone hadn't, because I was thinking it myself as I sent it to Jeff for posting. I was second guessing it, but Jeff told me that he gets a kick out of it when I pull on the old cranky-pants now and again and have myself a rant, so I pulled the trigger. More importantly - thanks for the good words and for sticking with us! P.S. Get off my lawn. Charles - Eh, I still maintain that shows are worth going to despite this stuff...don't give up hope! Had I stopped seeing shows in my mid 20's I most certainly would have missed all of the best shows I've ever seen - which have all taken place since then. Thanks for the comment! One Eyed Cat -

You know, I’m glad you said that – I think I would have been disappointed if someone hadn’t, because I was thinking it myself as I sent it to Jeff for posting. I was second guessing it, but Jeff told me that he gets a kick out of it when I pull on the old cranky-pants now and again and have myself a rant, so I pulled the trigger. More importantly – thanks for the good words and for sticking with us!

P.S. Get off my lawn.

Eh, I still maintain that shows are worth going to despite this stuff…don’t give up hope! Had I stopped seeing shows in my mid 20′s I most certainly would have missed all of the best shows I’ve ever seen – which have all taken place since then. Thanks for the comment!

But, I think you forgot one biggie - the drunk jerk-o's that usually seem to have tix's close to me (think of any jack@$! at any baseball game, the one with the big mouth who wont shut up). Why the heck do they pay all that money for tickets, then just get drunk? Whats the point? - Charles Russ – This is right on, and why I stopped going to concerts in my mid-20′s.

Its Jeff Bridges. I was at the Mann for REM in 1989 and I'm pretty sure I was responsible for some second hand pot smoke. The REM show at Red Rocks was fantastic. The only real bummer was the drunk idiot standing behind me who shouted "Gardening At Night!" after every song. My seats were way in back and there is no possible way the band heard him. Needless to say they never played the song and I left with a smile on my face hoping that the drunk idiot was bummed. Dude,

When I buy books I try to dig to the bottom of the stack to get a tight and clean one that doesn't already have a broken spine, dog ears, and jelly donut residue all over it. At least I hope that's what that is. Andy - none other than DJ Andy Schneider - listening to your tracks online as I type this - well done, fellow! Keep us posted on your doings - I am definitely digging this. All the best, fellows. Thanks for the comments, David and Andy – interesting metaphor for the bookstore…yeah, I can definiitey see that.
