Has anyone ever acquired face-value PIT tix ($500, not one of the Start Me Up or gold or silver packages) through the presales or on the day of the general sale? I had no luck for months but eventually got them for my shows with much persistence/annoyance... All was forgiven when SFM kicked off the show. ><

I'd say Rebecca Solnit, a feminist and brilliant author, said it best concerning her being an adolescent in the Bay Area in the '70s. “The dregs of the sexual revolution were what remained, and it was really sort of a counterrevolution (guys arguing that since sex was beautiful and everyone should have lots, everything goes and they could go at anyone; young women and girls with no w

Bollocks. Her albums the past two decades have been excellent. Her voice is tremendous, perfect for her Brecht/Weill covers on 20th Century Blues. Before the Poison; Easy Come, Easy Go; Give My Love to London all have tremendous moments. Tough to find a better model for how to handle a late career.

BV has Louisville rumored for 6/21. Not sure any show would be two days later, but time will tell.

Thanks for clarification regarding the Coliseum! Yes, I'd prefer Oracle/AT&T Park in SF...

Really surprised to see Oakland speculation. I don't believe The Coliseum hosts concerts, which leaves the Arena, which the Stones played in 2013, with a much smaller capacity...

Can't identify exactly why England and Grip are unable to hold my attention. I'm more sympathetic to the songs than others here, but the production and political messaging (which I agree with) are so heavy-handed, the bland riffs and instrumentation become bludgeoning (like a brick wall) so that their mediocrity is emphasized. It also sounds like 30 people were involved in recording thi

"Celebration" may not be the best word choice... "Commemoration"?

Yes, I can see Bacon finding Mick's mouth appealing! Here's Bacon critiquing several works of art with brutal honesty. He saves his harshest criticism for himself: The whole documentary is engrossing, especially as Bacon gets increasingly blotto throughout the day. Talk about lust for life!
Forum: Tell Me

Bacon titled innumerable paintings "studies," including a few of his masterpieces. Perhaps a way to avoid criticism. He worked almost exclusively from photographs, so I wonder what he was working from and why.

I'm curious about the backstory to Francis Bacon's Mick triptych. Is this documented anywhere? Apparently it was auctioned by its owner in Florida in the early '90s. Though I adore Bacon's work, I can't say I'm wild about these portraits. It looks hasty like a commission but I can't imagine by whom. Considering what disfigurations Bacon's subjects und

Quotejlowe Quotecyclist Looking forward to seeing this movie. Tonight I watched The Man from Elysian Fields. Jagger's performance is endearing and understated---an aging Casanova. It's worth seeing. Playing himself then? No doubt about it.

It's difficult to name a more helpful fan of any rock 'n' roll band than Bjornulf. Never met him, but I wish him the best.

Today I considered for several split seconds skipping work and flying down, taking a cab directly from the airport (meaning I'd have nothing on me), buying a ticket online, and seeing the show. I hope I'm kicking myself for not making the trip! What's the deal with NASA?
