Just wanted to add my thoughts. I saw Dan in concert with a friend in the early 80's in Philly and he was amazing. I had lost touch with his music but he was truly talented and he will be missed. Yes, 56 seems awfully short.

I was saddened to hear of Dan's battle with cancer and passing. Sail on.

Yes I think that is it.

One of the local school libraries (6th-8th grade) pulled the book from the library shelf. Turns out the librarian is the wife of a Minister of a local branch of the New Life Church, and she didn't feel the book "upheld community beliefs". Well, the Superintendent got involved right away, ...

I hope to go to Giants Stadium this summer and waiting for a Philly announcement.

We all have the return of Led Zeppelin on our minds, here is one from a London newspaper http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/article567260.ece Also they were talking about it on Deep Tracks on XM- George Taylor Morris was there and called in a report. I have never seen them live and...

i heard about this yesterday on Sirius-- said that James Taylor was interviewed as well. dang it. missed it. Yes he was. Both men looked and sounded pretty good. Val I used to see Tom Brokaw every now and then when he was still doing the NBC Nightly News, the building where I work is NBC's headquar...

Tom Brokaw did a show on 1968. I was 10 at the time ... And our country as divides as it seems now was also divided then. I meant to watch the show but I forgot it was on. Cable TV being what it is, I'm sure it will be rerun a few times. I think the division in the country was worse in 1968 than it...

Tom Brokaw did a show on 1968. I was 10 at the time but I had older brothers and sisters and lived it through them. I think when we look at our time, especially me as a parent decrying the influences on my kids I think I can understand at 50 now how my parents must have felt :D And our country as di...

I like Brad's take on it too- that was pretty much our church's take on the whole DaVinci Code thing. My then 9th grade daughter did a project on it and she interviewed our pastor and he was pretty open minded about the whole thing in that case. We are United Methodist. I do know the Catholic positi...

Our church has a candle lighting ceremony each Advent Sunday which began yesterday. It is a wonderful time of year if we focus on the reason for the season. So Happy Advent everyone!

Cool, as a horse owner I love it! What a great name. My daughter has a horse I made her name Blaze of Glory but the next one we are in the market for I am sure she would never allow me to give it a Buffett related name but it is worth trying

Val

Thanks for the link, that was very touching.
