Patience is key... sounds like you're getting the hang of it.

Got quite a few... Dada, Roger Waters, Buffett, Ozzfest, Police?, Rush?, and a day or 2 of Lollapalooza (depending on the bill)... Looking for Queens of the Stone Age to make an appearance someplace too. Stevie Nicks is coming through too, and I am hoping to travel and see her at Red Rocks. Police s...

I don't even like salt on the rims of glasses...

Hopefully the nasty weather is gone, and I can deal with the rain, and even a little cold...

My summer concert calendar is shaping up nicely...

Right on... it rocks. Pretty excited about the album, and tour.
It's heavier than their past couple of efforts. Hopefully it all sounds this good...

Now, if we could just get to the tourdates.

Just came in from running around... it's almost "hot" outside! Great day... Carwash was packed, got the residual salt off the vehicle, hopefully for the year! The guy in front of me brought his own soap to the carwash?? I could see if it were for a great ride, or a classic... but it was a ...

Warren shouldn't have a problem... I don't know if he's eligible yet or not? Deep Purple is another good one... they will get in, but they also then have to address on the spin-offs from the band...
There has been SO many members, that they would need to sort it out.

For someone who has never been to Alpine, can somebody explain to me the whole experience? I am not even talking about a Buffett show, just in general. People seem to be really get into that place? Granted, First Midwest Tweeter Center isn't great, but it gets the job done IMO... EVERYBODY tells me...

Patti Smith along with Debbie Harry brought punk to the female crowds... You say Punk Rock Females... 2 names... Patti and Debbie!

I thought she rocked last night!
Her last album in 2004 was called Trampin' as it's brilliant!

I like the way they have it set up even if I don't agree with all of the choices. If induction were based on sales/popularity alone (rather than influence) I'd hate to think who'd be cluttering the Hall. I also don't feel that drawing a comparison between a sports Hall of Fame and a music Hall of F...

A couple: Brown-Eyed Girl (my wife has brown eyes, and we sing and dance to this when he plays it live) Southern Cross (love what he does to this song!) Werewolves in London... he adds a new twist, but not as good as the original. Uncle John's Band... again he twist to it! I have heard him play Swee...

Got a chance to meet Walter Payton... Quite personally... He was signing his VHS tape that had came out (Payton's Grt. Hits???) I knew a bunch of people that worked in the store, and we hung out and spoke with him for a long time. Of course not living here until 1995, Walter was just "another ...

Sounds like you will need to learn to tune it as well as play it. Looking forward to you learning a few songs, and we can have a sing-a-long in the parking lot!

Thought Velvet Revolver was horrid... They sounded awful, and I even like them! Michael and Sammy looked a little tense during their song.

REM is a class act! Looked great, sounded great, and they jam!

That night I got home before my wife and put the CD in the player. I told my wife to sit down the minute she walked in. She sat in a recliner in our living room with her back towards me listening to the song. When it was done she turned to me with tears running down her face and said that was the f...
