I missed the opening act (which I believe was Joan Jett & the Blackhearts) at the show I saw at the Dean Dome in Chapel Hill due to a couple of party poopers who didn't even want to be there. One of them also caused me to miss the last portion of the show when Plant broke out some Zep because they insisted upon leaving early.

For anyone that was ever a fan of MTV's 120 Minutes, it's back on the air on MTV2. To watch the first new episode click here.

Coda isn't a choice in the poll and for good reason, it's an odds and ends collection and shouldn't be a considered a studio album unto it's own like the others listed.

Thanks, it's classic Cash and sums up his persona and what he stood for musically (and otherwise) to a t.

Anytime a musician dies their catalog sales soar. Amy Winehouse is no exception.

They appear to be two very similarly titled but completely different songs:

Arlo's cover of it has definitely received more airplay. I guess it's one of those cases where the original version isn't as well known even though Steve Goodman has always been well regarded as a songwriter. He also wrote "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" (with John Prine, who refused a songwriting credit at the time) even though most people associate it David Allan Coe.

Steve Goodman!!!

CB radios still come in handy for long distance road trips. Sometimes just for info like where the "smokeys" are lurking and traffic tie-ups but mostly just to listen to the truckers jabber. Very entertaining.

Flashback to a simpler time (though CB radios are still in use). Though I can't say I recall there being a fuss over CB radio usage back in their heyday in the 70s. At least not like there is now over cellphones. Understandable since cellphones require much more of your attention (particularly when texting) than operating a CB radio ever did.

Nor do I but the imminent danger is obviously a huge part of the appeal. They're not called "extreme" sports for nothing. It definitely makes for more compelling viewing than traditional sports. One of the hairiest things I was ever witness to was the street luge in the early years of the X Games.

They should give him a job on XM. That's one celebrity DJ I actually wouldn't mind hearing.

I saw them at Memorial Hall in Raleigh back in February and also love the record. My comment was in response to the not so well founded "rumor" about the upcoming Zeppelin reunion.

I kept reading about how bad this movie supposedly is which what took me so long to finally get around to renting it. I enjoyed it so I'm guessing all of the criticism had to do with people thinking it didn't live up to the first Iron Man somehow.

It's more than a little telling about the current state of MTV that their anniversary is being celebrated on VH1 Classic and not MTV itself. From RollingStone.com: Original VJ Mark Goodman recalls network's first days: 'I think we only had 300 videos' By ANDY GREENE MTV VJs Mark Goodman, Nina Blackwood, Alan Hunter, Martha Quinn and JJ Jackson Mark Weiss/WireImage For original MTV VJ Mark Goodman, the news that music network is celebrating its 30th anniversary this weekend is hard to fathom. "It's freaking weird," he tells Rolling Stone. "I've lived like three lifetimes since then. It's just so long ago, and yet it also seems like yesterday. It's a weird number – and it's hard to believe that we're still talking about this 30 years down the road." MTV launched on August 1st, 1981 at 12:01 a.m. The first images broadcast were the launch of the Apollo 11, followed by a video for the Buggles song "Video Killed The Radio Star." The network has gone through countless permutations since then, but this weekend VH1 Classic will commemorate MTV's founding with a three-day marathon of footage from the 1980s, including a re-broadcast of the network's first hour, starting Saturday at 6 a.m. To read the rest of the article, click here.
