Jesus H. Christ...seeing the 49ers and Giants on the same field is giving me flashbacks to all those playoff games they played in the 80s and 90s. Bill Walsh. Bill Parcels. Montana. Simms. Young. Hostetler. Rice. Bavaro. Taylor. Lott. Anybody else flashing back?

I cannot stand this Frank guy that Fox insists on shoving down America's throat...HE IS NOT FUNNY!!! And ENOUGH with the damn robots!!! Go 49ers!!!

Make that kicker walk back to Baltimore!

Oh well, as long as the Patriots run out the clock, the spread and under are safe and I still win.

FUCKING HELL! WTF?!?

Going for it on 4th and 6? Really?

HOLY TOLEDO! WHAT AN INTERCEPTION! WHAT A PLAY!

MERDE! There's Flacco being SILLY...DAMN!

Brady's knee is down! Bring that back! STUFFED HIM! 4TH AND GOAL NOW...Damn, TD.

One quarter to go and it's kind of playing out like I thought. Balt 20 NE 16. Can't have more than 14 pts scored in this final qtr. As long as Baltimore doesn't do anything silly, I'm looking good so far.

Cool. They'll tape the show that afternoon, then Jeff will head to the Largo for his sit-down with Jeff Garland...maybe even play a tune or two?

What a bunch of hooey! As I made my way through the article my jaw kept dropping lower and lower in stupefaction. This article wasn't written...it was jizzed. It reads more like a publicist's wet dream than anything else..."biggest event in musical history", and all that jazz. Phooey. Reading that story I kept thinking of the Mr. Creosote scene in Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life"...care for another band? It's WAFER-THIN! Can you imagine the logistical nightmare having all these concerts the same time as the Olympics would be? Oh, and nothing conjures up the Olympic Spirit of unity, brotherhood and sportsmanship like the cold, egomaniacal misanthropy of Pink Floyd. My respect will immeasurably increase for any band that says "NO!" to this corporate orgy. Just say NO, Robert!

Night 3 of the Luis Buñuel retrospective: "The Exterminating Angel" and "The Criminal Life of Archibaldo De La Cruz".

The rain has finally stopped and the sun is out.

Forget the Satriani song rip...I highly doubt anyone in Coldplay listens to Satriani, and like Swede said, the Coldplay clip was altered. The more obvious and relevant song Coldplay ripped off was Ride's "Dreams Burn Down" from 1990. Listen and compare:

^^^ :mad: :explode: You HAD to bring that game up, didn't you...hehe. Well I placed my bets...SF -2 and the over. Baltimore +7.5 and the under. The fact that the SF-NYG game opened at -3 and is now -2, suggests a lot of money came in on the Giants. That single point is beneficial if you're betting the 49ers. If the 49ers win by a field goal, with the -2 it's a clear win instead of a push.

Prepping for next week's slew of Wilco shows in LA, of which I'm going to two for sure(Hollywood Palladium 1.24 and the Wiltern 1.25), as well as Jeff Tweedy's talk with Jeff Garland at Largo on Monday. Right now I am listening to a boot I recently acquired of Wilco @ The Lille Vega in Copenhagen, Denmark, July 6, 2004. Disc 1: 1. muzzle of bees 2. company in my back 3. war on war 4. at least that's what you always said 5. hummingbird 6. I am trying to break your heart 7. shot in the arm 8. ashes of american flags 9. radio cure 10. hell is chrome 11. i'm the man who loves you 12. i'm always in love 13. poor places 14. handshake drugs Disc 2: 1. spiders (kidsmoke) Encore #1: 2. jesus, etc. 3. one by one 4. the late greats 5. i'm a wheel Encore #2: 6. heavy metal drummer 7. california stars 8. the lonely 1

Well I actually posted the "Whipping Post" clip and others from this show back in October for my Duane Allman anniversary thread...I found them on YouTube...and they are still up today. The clips are posted by a user named "theelevan".

Performance mainly.

I've always been curious about this show. Is it as bad as I've heard people say it is? Is it an indoor or outdoor show?

Yes they do. Like Pamela, she seems to have passed through the looking-glass of that world and made it back to the other side relatively unscathed. I guess it matters how strong you are going in to begin with. Some of the weaker ones get lost and end up swallowed alive by the scene. For others, it's just a lark, a fun phase of their lives that they eventually grow up and move on from. Good for Audrey that she didn't succumb like some of the others.

Thank you...you're such a sweetie. Meanwhile, it's freaking raining today, which has ruined my Saturday plans.

It's not exactly news and probably nauseating to some of you when I come on here and post that it's sunny and warm...sun in L.A.? What a shock. Well, good news for you today...as it is RAINING non-stop in L.A. today! Been raining since before dawn.

I know...yet somehow her daughter turned out alright.

It's a good thing I made my picks before watching the NFL channel this morning...watching one of those Belichick Sound FX shows would have you thinking the Patriots will win 100-0!!! I've been paying so much attention to the actual games lately, I haven't really said much about other recent events off-field... RAIDERS FIRE HEAD COACH. I know...not exactly a rare headline in Raider-land. In fact, it's as common and predictable as Jahfin raving about the Drive-By Truckers, StairwayRemainstheSame bemoaning Robert's recent solo stuff, or me droning on about some artsy-fartsy film. At first glance, the Raiders firing Hue Jackson looks to be the same Raiders dysfunction that has haunted this franchise for the last decade. For the record, this makes the 7th coach fired in the past 10 years. Al Davis' recent passing might have caused some of us Raider fans to have hope the ever-revolving coaching carousel would finally end. But two things happened that has me believing firing Hue Jackson was necessary. 1. The new GM. When Green Bay's McKenzie became the new Raiders GM, he had the right to start anew and bring in his own coach. 2. Hue Jackson himself. Especially in the second half of the season, Hue Jackson appeared to be a man unhinged. Paying way too much for Carson Palmer, paying more attention to his off-field power maneuvering than to his actual coaching. The final straw was his shameful end-of-season press conference, where like Norv Turner, he threw his Defensive guys under the bus. He started to look more and more like a Mike Singletary-type. I'm not sorry to see him go. Would love to see the Raiders try to bring Jon Gruden back. MIAMI HIRES PHILBIN. So...not only was Green Bay offensive coordinator Joe Philbin dealing with the death of his son the week of the Giants game. He also was interviewing for the Miami head coaching job. No wonder Green Bay seemed to lack focus.
