Early 80s X.

I saw The Waterboys (although it might have been just Mike Scott solo at that point with a backing band) live at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1994. They kicked ass. As they do here.

I got as far as buying a griddle plate to go on my gas grill a little while ago, but not as far as actually taking it out of the box yet. Keep posting!

Happy Birthday Shelley!

This was a weird collaboration, but ultimately I think it works.

The Stone Roses debut came out today in 1989. I still think it's in the conversation for albums that don't have a single bad moment on them?

Ooh whee, this judge is MAD! https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.364265/gov.uscourts.cand.364265.1508.0_2.pdf Not a lawyer, but I reckon the Apple VP of Finance may be headed for some jail time?

I'm so sorry Steve. It's very tough. My mom went in 2020 and I still creep her Facebook to go back through the old posts and messages. RIP Frances.

With Outkast keeping Oasis out of the RnRHOF, there really was only one choice tonight.

That's very Spanish of you!

Message from the male offspring, with accompanying Spotify link. "I feel like this today. A bit lost, but resolute, and ultimately optimistic."

Not even at my final twinkweight? Having a few issues with the guitar levels but I hope whoever miked the drums got an extra beer!

Loving this song always makes me wonder if I'm gayer than I'm aware of? @swt61 may have to rule on this.

The duality of man.

"I'm glad you asked me where I'm from. I'm a bilingual illiterate. I can't read in two languages."

Honestly, I think you should just put your feet up and have a wee dram? You know, to prepare. PS: I've got to ask you, who is WhiskyPriest? Been chatting with him on another forum and he's definitely a Plowedster and definitely knows you. Obviously if this violates secrets of the confessional then, you know, tell me to fuck off.

This was the first Warren Zevon song I ever heard. In some mate's dorm room in the late '80s -- hardly his best or most productive period. But I remember thinking: "Huh, I should see what else this dude's done." Which was a very good idea.

Song from 1982. Movie from 1991. I might have had a slight thing for Jennifer Connelly after this for MY ENTIRE LIFE. Who the foosh is that guy though, he must have been painting houses ever since?
