PJ-No Code just finished and now it's time for a little Zappa Apostrophe.

He exists as an insomnia cure.

If you lived here, there would be many that come to mind... Robert concurs.

Well, Robert has apparently had much "success" with the ladies in T.O. In a radio interview from years prior, he made repeated reference to "how wonderful he was treated by the girls from Balmoral Ave."....Hmmmm Anyway, the highlight of the evening to me was the performance. The set list was great and Jimmy/Robert were lights out. I'll never forget that night. Prett sure that RP has fond memories as well judging by your reference to the babe(s) in the crowd....

Myself and 3 pals were at this show and it was simply the best concert i've ever seen. The Sun(the reporter) gave it 3 stars(out of 5) but rest assured that everybody there gave it a 5. Page, Plant and the band were in top form.....absolutely superb!

Well, they've been big in my house for 30 years and gosh darnit, they will remain big here. That's really where my interest lies...kinda selfish that way i suppose.

And Eddie Vedder with Nuskrat Ali Khan doing "The Long Road" off the Dead Man Walking soundtrack......with Ry Cooder on guitar. This is a masterpiece that MUST be listened to...the whole soundtrack. Springsteen, Waits, Cash, Lovett, Earle(maybe the best of the disc)....WOW.

Rough -Mix-Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane One of the best ever made, imo.

"Car hiss by my window"...wow. "Spanish Caravan" "The End" "Soul Kitchen" I own the whole collection and this thread makes me understand that i must revisit it. Great, great band.

Pistol permit???? You might as well have carried a kilo of coke, you would have had better success. Canada, and to be more specific, Toronto, has seen a skyrocketing handgun crime problem and they are really trying to crack down on illegal smuggling of firearms. Whether it's misguided or not, you will not get into this country right now if you utter the words "gun". 98% of all illegal firearms used in crimes come from the States so naturally they think that all law abiding people want to ship guns into Canada. Anyway, going to be in Rochester this summer...maybe i'll buy you a beer. Cheers.

Once again, it works both way's so please don't let a couple of asswipe border guards keep you down. They do NOT reflect the country as a whole; they are just a couple of grumpy beauracratic minions doing injustice to our country. They get their marching orders from people who have not a clue what is happening in the real world. Governments all over try to keep people separate and isolated, don't let it happen. Canadians welcome you anytime.

That's unfortunate. I can tell you that i see multitudes of American plates in the Toronto area so somebody is getting through. A friend of mine was refused entry in the late 80's. Like you, he had a trafic violation 10 years prior and was honest enough to tell them about it at the airport....DENIED! Before boarding our plane to beautiful Hawaii, i told him to wait for the next shift to come on and try again, BUT DON'T TELL THEM ABOUT THE VIOLATION! Next morning, we get a knock on the door in Waikiki and lo and behold, there is Ron looking like something that the cat dragged in. We had quite the party that day, let me tell ya... ANyway, Canucks will need a passport to get into the States shortly which is outrageous. I can understand the concern with 9/11 but you see a minivan with a family of 4 going to Orlando and common sense tells you that they just want to spend money. What is happening at the border is Governmental. The posturing of both Governments means hardship and frustration for the people who wish to travel freely. The pretense is protecting the interests of the nation but with all government issues, you will get a complete lack of common sense...as usual. With regards to the media, who cares? They have their own agenda and it depends who you read. Like Government, there is Liberal media and Conservative media. People choose what they feel they need to hear, regardless of the fact that it's rarely accurate. I sincerely hope that the next president pay's more attention to the economic situation of the country and less attention on foreign affairs. The United States should be doing much better than they are and you have to wonder who or what is holding it back....and why.

Why is that? What has England done for you lately(exception being the support for the Iraq war)?

Speaking of Sway, Keef didn't even play on that track. It was the Mick and Mick show. Took me years before i realized that Jagger played rhythm guitar instread of Keef. But it's one of my favorites anyway....

Funny you brought this up as i just heard "Two Tickets" today on the radio for the 1st time in decades. I actually like it more now than i did then. Great song.

And from the forgotten file, side 3 from Love You live. Recorded in a small dingy club called the El Mocambo, you will hear the Stones at their rootsy best....it really, really rocks.

Both are in the top 5 or 6 of the best ever so why not both?

One of these Day's...Pink Floyd. WOW!@

Voodoo Chile long version. Many pints consumed, really doesn't get any better than this...

So, is it more or is it less? Seriously, thanks for the reply. The older stuff rocks beyond belief, Cheers

Oh, baby, its cryin time, Oh, baby, I got to fly. Got to try to find a way, Got to try to get away, cause you know I gotta get away from you, babe. Oh, baby, the rivers red, Oh, baby, in my head. Theres a funny feelin goin on, I dont think I can hold out long. *and when the owls cry in the night, Oh, baby, baby, when the pines begin to cry, Baby, baby, baby, how do you feel? If the river runs dry, baby, How do you feel? Craze, baby, the rainbows end, Mmm, baby, its just a den For those who hide, Who hide their love to depths of life And ruin dreams that we all knew so, babe.

Not a purchase but just got "Into the Wild" soundtrack by Eddie Vedder. Excellent.

Thelonius...Jeff Beck

Take it take it Excuse me Oh will you excuse me I'm just trying to find the bridge... Has anybody seen the bridge? (Have you seen the bridge?) I ain't seen the bridge! (Where's that confounded bridge?) [spoken by Robert Plant]

If you want Mick Taylor, don't buy anything after It's Only R&R. That being said, Black and Blue is outstanding....a funk-rock fusion with some great moments. Billy Preston is AMAZING on Melody and Hey Negrita ROCKS! Some Girls has it's moments and Tatoo You isn't bad either. After that, PFFFTTTT.
