Re: I have to face reality - It finally happened

The last show I went to was a benefit concert out in South Hampton 7 or 8 years ago. Great Heart was the opener and I loved it. One or two songs later he played CIP, which I sat down for. The people behind me actually took issue with this and one guy confronted me saying "Now you are sitting do...

Re: Bitter Fans?

I think that one of the great aspects of this board is that we can complain and vent to people who will understand. If I were to complain to the people I work with about the set list or something else, they'd think that I am even crazier than I already am. On a related note, while I do not begrudge ...

Re: Bob Marley the Movie on 4/20

Well, I watched with my wife and 6 year old. Both of them fell asleep. Apart from limited drug references, which are likely to go over most kids heads, I say it is safe for kids to see. But they'll probably tune out due to boredom. I thought it was very, very well done. Gave decent insight into his ...

Re: Bob Marley the Movie on 4/20

I cannot believe that I can get in "On-Demand" in my house! That is awesome. BUT, I just looked at the running time. It says that the movie is only 104 minutes. The movie in the theatre is 144 minutes.

Maybe a typo?

Can my 6 and 8 year old kids watch it?

Re: St. Croix...

I haven't been back to the island in over 20 years. I spent many a winter vacation plus a few extra weeks here and there during my youth on the island as that was where my grandparents spent their winters. I can't recommend any bars or restuarants, but I can tell you this, that the reef just off sho...

St. Barts / NFC Championship Game

My dad is going to be in St. Barts next weekend and is very concerned that he won't be able to watch the Giants beat down San Fran. Does anyone know which bars/hotels might have the game? He'll take the boat over to St. Maarten if necessary.

Thanks,
JB

Re: BUFFETT CA$H KING?????

I have no idea, and don't really care, how much money he has. However, I believe we will all find out one day in a few years when he takes his whole empire (and it really is an empire) public! There is no doubt in my mind that he will eventually sign off on an IPO. It makes complete financial sense....

Re: What is your MUST SEE venue?

I haven't been to a show in almost 8 years, but I can tell you that when I do eventually get to one it will be at Lakewood (or whatever the place is called now) in Georgia. There is a reason that Georgia concerts were included on Feeding Frenzy and You Had To Be There. I think that it is home to one...

Triathlon Anyone?

My wife and I just did the Quassy Rev3 Olympic. It was by far the hardest physical thing I have ever done in my life. My wife had an easier time as she "chicked me." Does anyone else do triathlon? I'd love to get a Parrothead Triathlon Club going. That could be a real a real drinking club ...

Re: Boston Bruins, why they should win the Cup.....

Tim Thomas. UVM '97, just like me and my wife. Sorry to see Tampa Bay knocked out because we were closer with St. Louis, but seeing Thomas win his first, especially after the Olympics snub, would be awesome.

Re: I Just Gotta Stand

I once got crap from someone behind me because I was sitting for CIP! I had been dancing through most of the concert and well, I was tired. This guy behind me kept yelling to his friends, "Now he is sitting down. Now he is sitting down?" I told him after the song was over, in a very nice w...

Re: Jimmy on Today this morning

I thought JB totally stole Robert's thunder. He didn't say one word about Robert, but did remind us that he owns the record company distributing the album. Typical shameless promotion of the JB empire, and all at the expense of one of my favorite band members. Would it have been so hard for JB to te...

Re: What was the name of his Boston Whaler?

Given the awesome names he has had for his other boats as well as for his planes, my guess is he had a name for what appears to have been his first boat.

What was the name of his Boston Whaler?

In Brama Fear, he sings about having a Boston Whaler. I also recall reading this in some other book.

What was the name of his boat?
