Nice. And it’s good to see someone telling youngsters to do what they themselves actually practice. I bet they got it. Every bit of it.

Yes, of course you’re right, thanks for reading far enough into this to notice my boneheaded mistake, which I’ve corrected above.

Uh, that would be “Elmer Bernstein” who wrote the theme to The Magnificent Seven, not Leonard Bernstein. Big difference.

We were at this show and it was epic, thanks for the memories! Before the show began, a bunch of guys in our section were all “Well, let’s see how he does this time”. By the third song in, everybody in the Arena was on their feet with “Got a wife and kid in Baltimore Jack”. The right stuff.

We were at the show and it was epic, thanks for bringing back the memories! Before the show began, guys in our section were all “well, let’s see how he does this time”, and by the third song in, everybody in the Arena was on their feet with “Got a wife and kids in Baltimore Jack”. The right stuff.

Hey Chris! Who is this mopey, bearded balladeer you speak of? Can’t be Sammy Hagar cause I’ve seen him with vh many times and he was always having a good time and seems like a cool guy to me. Good review and can’t wait to see vh in June in Htown.

Comment on Mike Daisey Returns to Woolly Mammoth So People Who Knew Who He Was Back Before That This American Life Episode Aired in January Can Throw Stones at Him If They Want by themoonandme

Read your article, very interesting, as are the comments too.
The bigger question here is what we will accept. We’ve all had our say on Daisey now, but to insist on his immediate departure to Timbuktu won’ help. I agree with the Wooly decision in that it’s best to keep him around for the conversation, given that he was the person who forced these issues (although I think there’s another motivation on their own behalf). Nobody ever faced trial from a prison cell. We don’t like what he did, we don’t admire his work but he gives us a frank account of human greed, and where it can take us. that is a story worth hearing!

Comment on Bruce Springsteen to release another album with an ugly cover on March 6 by kroessman

“Ugliest … cover … ever.” Went back and read your other post for the hell of it too, about all his other ugly covers The irony is, while Rolling Stone praises his albums to high heaven, I don’t think they’ve ever called him out on ugly covers. But they did, in 1975, call out Stevie Wonder for his. Even though he IS blind and therefore has no responsibility for his covers
