    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        I'm at my local joint. They've always had some kind of satellite radio playing, with the genre/era dependent on which owner is in. Today, it's mixed.

        "Can't Find My Way Home" just shouldn't be covered by modern artists. God that was awful.

          I'll agree, but there was a New England artist back in the late 70's named Chris Kleeman, who had play on the regional stations with his cover of that song, which at the time I thought was better than the original. Not sure if I'd still feel that way hearing it now, though.
          What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

            The only cover I like is the House of Lords version, because of course.

              Just listened to my copy of Boy, in I don't know how long. This is the U2 I love, and it was almost enough to make me forget how much I despise them now. Young, earnest, passionate, and creative, especially when you consider they were just barely out of their teens when they recorded this.

                  I saw Everclear at Celebrate Fairfax! Saturday night. They're touring the 20th anniversary of So Much for the Afterglow, which is a genuinely great album.

                  Art Alexakis is the only original still in the band which is fine because none of the other guys matter. 80% of their set was from the album, with the rest split between really old pre-fame songs for the hard core fans (there were several in attendance) and a few later releases which were as awful as you would imagine. They brought the house down with "Father of Mine" (Christ, Art, you're 55 -- get over it) and a hundred drunk Virginia good ol' boys were openly weeping about their deadbeat dads.

                  The opening acts were Fastball and Vertical Horizon. I had absolutely no memory of the latter. When the former did "The Way" I commented that it was the worst cover of the (in 1998, amazingly kick-as-s) song I'd ever heard, and then learned it was the original band doing it. Sad!

                    So Fastball didn't age well.

                    As for Vertical Horizon, they had a couple hits with "Everything You Want" and "You're A God."

                      Speaking of third-rate grunge ripoff acts, let me know when Seven Mary Three is reuniting. They might still be worthy of opening for Creed and/or Live.

                          Pink Floyd - P.U.L.S.E.

                          As I drove from Eveleth to International Falls at night in a downpour with quite the display of lightning.

                          Sorrow was particularly cool with that backdrop.

                              "Everything You Want" is also known as "Super Cock Block Frustrations."

It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir

                                Drove home from work tonight with "Green" by R.E.M. in the CD player. "Orange Crush and "Turn You Inside Out" are excellent driving songs. Good reminder that summer is here.
