Anthony and the Johnsons-his voice drives me nuts. Then it looks like Drive By Truckers followed by Dave Alvin and the Guilty Women. Probably catch Alejandro Escovedo before The Brewers take on the cubs on opening day. Caught North Mississippi Allstars last night, nice set. You know what, they sold beer at the venue - maybe that's why I'm moving slow today...

I've been a fan since the bomb scare show and consider Bruce a typical American complete with faults. Sure he has made missteps and stumbles (Wal-mart and headbands to name two}, join the crowd. His music has always resonated with me, though, and his songs have provided part of the soundtrack of my life. I'm willing to shrug off the hype to enjoy the music and performances (just like Th

Saw Ron at Lolla 2007 and in Dublin last year. Fantastic both times. Growing up with The Stooges as part of my soundtrack, this is sad news. RIP Ron

Saw them open for The Stones when both bands sported a "guest" guitarist. Hey, and both have/had drinking problems! Weirder than this tour-what is going on with Europeans gobbling up Britney Spears tickets?

Kooky, misinformed Europeans: here's a small sample of what the American palate can drink: How about the best bock beer? 98 • Capital Brewery Blonde Doppelbock. Deep reddish amber color. Dense aromas of fruity caramel, spicy honey, and golden raisin bread. A rich, powerful, yet effortless entry leads to a satiny medium-full body of enveloping layers of caramel, toasted grains and breads,

LZ may open, but The Stones close if Chicago get 2016. Then a reverse passing of the torch? Of course, if you think the boys will be long in the tooth, who will be left from the Chicago scene: Buddy? late seventies?

I tend to agree with my fellow Wisconsinite. We both know what the team was like before his arrival and the Hamlet schtick of the last few years is getting stale. If the team, including Favre, hadn't completed a great season, this wouldn't even be a story. Too much said from each side? Maybe. If they can't work it out, the team should trade him. Besides, who does he think he is, Te

We were at a Hamell on Trial show where some fatheads were blathering on about nothing. Since H. was doing a solo show, he first asked them, politely, to cut out the chatter because it was tough to concentrate on stage. They agreed, but kept it up. Two songs later, he asked them how much they paid to get in and told them he would pay them double if they would leave. They mumbled something about

Forum: Tell Me

At this point in his career, Springsteen doesn't draw many neophytes. Turning into a jukebox for a small number of casual fans would go against what Bruce has done his whole career. If you want the hit, there are plenty of boots, videos and live cds. The casual fan is also usually the guy who tells other fans to sit down. He (almost always a he) should enjoy the show for what it is, not what

I was at the '75 show and it was something. Arrived late and made it just inside the doors in the balcony. Second song we here was a solo Thunder Road that ended with Bruce telling us to leave and come back at midnight. We went out (Jimmy, Rat and myself in a green Lincoln - definitely the seventies) drink some beer and shot pool before returning and ending up in the sixth row on the floor.

A blistering hot band, even more so that Shonna Tucker gets to take the forefront a bit. Live they will blow you away, you start singing along to songs you don't even know they're so good.The band can also play some mean RS covers, including "Moonlight Mile" and they have a tendency to work on a bottle of Jack during their show.
