anyone else on this board collect music action figures?...maybe us old timers who built models in the 60's have a certain passion for these things...I miss Tower Records & Virgin Records for many reasons but I could always count on seeing these 'action figures' on the shelf when I visited...McFarlane Toys came out with some nice figures of AC/DC, Alice Cooper,Hendrix,Slash,Jopl

with all due respect to BV, I can't imagine anyone having plans 3-6 months for anything EXCEPT a wedding...I mean, come on...concerts are the only thing these days that advertise so very far in advance....tickets for U2 in SF next June are on sale now...do you have plans for next June ? the only thing preventing any fan from attending a concert these days is a sudden death in the family or s

I was in Wakiki in 1977 attending the very first GAVIN REPORT convention..I walked by a gallery who had several Jagger/Warhol prints displayed in the window for $1200 each....should have borrowed $$ to buy at least one of them...in 1981 I attended a wedding at the home of the late Bill Graham in Marin...Bill had 3 of them hanging in the living room...one could retire if you happen to own 3 of the

BestBuy is an aggressive marketing machine...they know consumers don't have many options anymore to buy music..no more Tower Records/Virgin Mega-stores etc...if you are "old school", you probably don't like to do ALL your shopping on-line..so they demand 'exclusives' in return for massive advertising campaigns..they want you/us to come into their store knowing that o

I pre-ordered my deluxe edition from Amazon US 2 weeks ago & although they promised deivery by NOv. 5, it arrived today on SF...the box says "Region 1" for those who want to know...although I wanted the super deluxe edition with the vinyl, I knew that this would add greatly to the shipping cost & may even delay the shipping...as anything vinyl related ALWAYS presents problems...

Aerosmith cancelled their tour 2 months ago when Tyler fell off the stage & broke his shoulder..surgery may still be needed but he apperas to be fit enough to fulfill these last 4 dates in SF, Hawaii & the middle east which probably offered too much money to cancel...I attended tonight's ORACLE gig held at Treasure Island & Tyler didn't seem to be suffering from his injury..

Thank you 'mickschix' for clarifying the Joni Mitchell saga...I have attempted to get all the stories correct from this excellent event for decades...I was standing in front of the stage when Joni said to the crowd, "I just sang that verse twice & no one noticed"...she never finished her set..some said she was in tears..I cannot confirm that but she was certainly not happy
