I've only been to Louisville once (saw Roger Waters a couple years ago there), but it's a fun city. Assuming the horses are running, Churchill Downs (home of the Kentucky Derby) is a really fun way to spend a day. The Louisville Slugger Baseball Museum is a really great take for baseball fans (that's where they make the bats - but it's just really cool!). I didn't get t

They hand you an envelope at a will call window, and that's it - good, bad, lucky, unlucky - but at the cheap price hard to complain if given the bad/unlucky, and reason to rejoice if given good/lucky. Yep - what Hairball

Some of their best shows were in Buffalo. I was at the ‘15 Buffalo snow and it was indeed fantastic. I still listen to it often - the Midnight Rambler was exceptional. Didn’t realize the stadium changed names again?

Quotekeefriff99 I've given up complaining about rappers and pop stars being inducted. I like most classic hip hop acts anyway, even though they don't technically belong there based on the NAME OF THE INSTITUTION. Maybe change the name of the Hall to the "Modern Music Hall of Fame"? That sounds dumb, but it would be a more accurate description of what the Hall has morphed

I have it on DVD but hadn’t watched it in years, so I dug it out again this past weekend and it was almost like seeing it for the first time.

But then Mick comes to the rescue, and then things do get interesting. And wow - it’s Mick at h

QuoteLil' Brian Deerhunter and Lana Del Rey were my favorites this year. How is Lana live? I like her, but am a bit surprised she is playing the arenas. Seems she might be better suited for a theater. She also gets a bit ‘samey’ after a bit- slow, slow. Wish she would rock it up just a little.

Yeah, Fiona Apple is good in this. Love her first album, and actually saw her open for the Stones, the one time I saw them at MSG. Another thing I was thinking about the Echo film after giving it some thought (and listening to some more Mama’s and Papas) is how easy and effortless they made those seemingly simple songs appear - but then when you see some of the cream of the crop of the younger

I visited Cape Town for my 60th back in May. It's a beautiful city! LOTS to do. Very safe. and cheap! Gorgeous winelands less than an hour north (Stellenbosch). Stunning. IF they play there, I'm tempted to return - for anyone that may have that on their radar, it's a spectacular place to visit!

Been giving the band Kaleo's album A/B a listen after seeing them open for the Stones at the AZ show. I usually skip openers whenever possible, but I saw most of their set and was really impressed.

On a somewhat related note, it's worth noting that sure, 15 or so of the (now) 19 songs are the same each night, in the 16 shows they've now played up through Phoenix, that band has played (by my count), 39 different songs this tour.
