Other notable folk born on this day: Monty Hall, Regis Philbin, Wayne Shorter, Rollie Fingers, Jeff Tweedy, Steven Toast.

I’m sure BA is a cool, genius kind of guy. I’m the weirdo, remember? What do I know? Absolutely nothing! Although, I’d like to create a crowdsourcing fan bot and override all the bots (mostly Live Nation’s grip on the market) and kick back tickets to the fans that want the good seat at face value $ ...

As previously stated, if that seat means THAT much to you....pay the required price AND ENJOY IT. EAT it without complaint after losing out on the initial sale... Collusion??? AGAIN, PLEASE!!! all YOU conspiracy theorists among us!!! No weird streak, BA. You called me a conspiracy theorist. I am no...

What’s your IQ, BA? Seriously. Do you read the New York Times? It’s your local paper. Do yourself a favor and read it every day. As for accusing me of scamming on tickets or something along those lines —I do pay full price. Always have. Plus, I buy merch. Do you buy merch? No, you break the rules by...

BA - You are missing the point. The tickets aren’t / weren’t even made available to the fan upon first day of sale, or in pre-sale or in fan pre-sale. They are sold directly via the 2nd market. Collusion. As for front seats, some people prefer a seat in the front /lower level sections. Personally, I...

Probably more common than we know... Or not... all legal here in the US: https://variety.com/2019/biz/news/live-nation-placed-thousands-of-tickets-on-secondary-market-metallica-1203273337/amp/ I’m interested in learning about Live Nation’s dynamic pricing scheme. Seems like all of this works against...

I schlepped it out there. Great show. Sound was solid. They really sound awesome. Glad I made it. I almost didn’t. The venue is the worst. There were more Live Nation employees than attendees. At least that was the scene in the lower level. Of course, I was pegged as some psycho stalker or something...

Hot cover. I Love Beck and Spoon.

This day in history: The Battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1–3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turni...

No west coast dates. Bummer. May have to haul it out to Concord to see EC and the band. Brutal.

I see the recent news on this now. Hot story. Should I care or be surprised? No, not at all. PEACE.

This happened in 2008? Why are we flashing back to this story when the whole world is ready to go up in flames with the various bozos we have leading/running our countries. The question that really should be asked here: How much was the insurance payout related to this fire?

Isn’t EC a US citizen as well? He seems to be one
International dude. Britain-US-CAN, right? Well deserved recognition. It’s about time.

PS - take out go to die.. no harm to Jimbo, obviously... where crap music critics thrive? (In the lower bowels of a
1970s toilet stall.

Jim Harrison - major tool. I can’t believe this guy lives in the Bay Area. Just shows you how low the bar has gone in the world of local news/journalism. I don’t know if I’ll be going to this show. Concord Pav is a schlep from SF... Not a fan of the venue either. Would be fun to run into Harrison, p...

Hopefully, all the complaining will stop. It was a bit of drag to scroll through this board and see all the whining going on about a record or series of records. Sorry, that’s at least how I feel about it. Enjoy listening and looking at the art. I’m heading outdoors with my lame earbuds. For a bit o...

Cool. Nice to see artists showing respect to EC and his band mates. Happy to see rather gandering at the current state of the music industry which is - #twowordreview #shitsandwinch #ihatehashtags #killmenow

Marc Maron interviews T Bone. Dig it!

Yeah, sorry prof. jardine, I can’t see the connection. The EC / twitter situation may have something to do with a security issue on Twitter’s end or at the user’s endpoint(s). In any case, it’s always good to change your passwords, update your OS and applications for patches. The T Bone speech is ex...

I am not following the connection between the twitter hack (was there one?) and the T Bone speech or T Bone comments. Can you elaborate? Maybe provide more detail on what you believe is the connection between the two?

T-Bone, our buddy, preaching the word at SXSW. I've been on board with his ideas in this speech for more than 20 years. T-Bone! Love the dude. An internet that is vertical could create layers that represent finance, legal, arts, and social media rules... Regulations solidly built into the network in...
