.sorry… be sure to watch the video from Cochailla, as the other one has crappy sound.

I would never pay to see the Stones again though, as I saw them in San Fran back when they were still relevent. The oldest group on my must see list is Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds. Green Day came back with American Idiot & I’d pay to see them also. Number 1 on my list is Arcade Fire. After hearing their last album (2006) Neon Bible I’d call in sick for a week to see them. Google (Antichrist Tetevision Blues) if you don’t know them.

I thought they sucked back then, but do they look as bad as Keith Richards? The Stones haven’t put out a great album since Some Girls, but Keith still rocks. The best line I’ve heard about Richards is that Dr Kevorkian saw him and offered to finish the job for free.

Indeed they are. And they don't look like they're getting any younger.

Peter Paul & Mary are still alive? I remember hearing Puff the Magic Dragon on the radio when it came out, and my mother said that Rock & Roll was just a fad and that no one would remember it in 10 years. Just goes to show that you can’t trust your parents.

I hope Live Nation comps the Bloggers a few tickets as well. And Chaz: if it's a show I don't care for, like Peter Paul & Mary or Captain & Tennille, I'll be happy to sell you the tickets. Jen: Yes. Frakkin'. :-)

I had to look up what a ‘failure bowl’ was. I believe you intended to refer to a failure pile in a sadness bowl.

As far as what I consider ‘convenient’ is the place opening up before I frakkin’ die. That building laying empty for over twenty years is not acceptable. I just like to see things get done.

I work for a corporation that dwarfs Live Nation, so if I took a position against big businesses in general, I’d be a bit of a hypocrite.

Don’t get fooled by the man.

Colesville Rd. between Wayne Avenue and Spring Street really ought to be a mini-entertainment district — sort of like 18th Street, but with some way of keeping the obnoxiousness to a minimum. If the Fillmore can pave the way for more and different venues (can we hope for a jazz club?), then it will have done a great thing.

Question: how do we rid ourselves of that ridiculous T-Mobile store wasting the prime real estate at the corner Colesville and Fenton?

Further question: will Fashions at Time ever disappear — say, at one of those times when it’s not in fashion?

Selling out is relative. Honestly, my biggest disappointment in this whole business is how quickly people who seem otherwise reasonable will cave when it increases convenience for them. I bet you LN defenders like KFC’s failure bowls.

I hope LN at least comps the bloggers a few tickets.
