<sigh>...I feel so inadequate...

mood swung wrote:boxers or briefs? seriously, I've always wanted to ask him what songs he wishes he'd written.

Think I've heard him answer that one before, paraphrasing, 'There aren't any songs I wish I'd written, but there are songs I'm glad that somebody wrote.'

(You get another question Mood!!!)

I really want to go see Ben Folds as well, he's opening for Tori Amos...not sure if I can make that sacrifice.

My condolences Noise...take care!

Blur (possibly) on the 27th, in August John Hiatt, then Joe Jackson (with Spooky!), Jeff Beck and B.B. King in September and hopefully REM and then Radiohead in October...gotta start pinching pennies!

Mood...gotta love the Jeff Buckley version of Hallelujah as well (or at least I do).

Happy Birthday Otis!!!

And if we do, I'd be happy to contribute Oliver's Army's kick ass version of Shallow Grave. please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-please-plea...

I'm sorry, I was sworn to secrecy...but apparently I can get free tickets to any show I want...j/k

So I was listening to The Who - Live at Leeds and I was thinking to myself (how else can you think) that The Who could possibly be the best combination of musicians assembled as a rock band. Each musician could arguably considered for the top five (top ten at least) of their respective instruments w...

Tom Waits...but I agree the Ramones cover is very good.

Apologize for the delay, had to adjust the format of the picture.

Here they are, the newest board member (WELCOME!) and The Man himself...great pic Liam!!!

That's it, I'm marking my calendar and will start deleting some posts a couple days before his return...

Sorry, a little off topic but Plaything mentioned teachers names. My English teacher in 10th grade was Ms. Kuntz. Well, how would you pronounce it?

Long u of course...but she shouldn't have written it on the board the first day!

Sorry Gilli...I've got a lowest common denominator type humor...

I know you all are gonna have plenty of different viewpoints and might even flame my list, but thought I'd throw this out there...

In no particular order

1. Jimi Hendrix (okay, he is first, rest are NOT in order)
2. Jeff Beck
3. Stevie Ray Vaughn
4. Pete Townshend
5. Chuck Berry

I'm sure that becomes especially hard Spook when you're a little...how shall we say...agitated... I used to love it when my mom would get so mad she'd forget my name...I of course laughed, which didn't help matters...

Mine was either Jason or Clyde....thankful for Jason every day

Don't have any names I like off hand, though Zebadiah keeps rattling around for some reason.

There is one name I would like to vote against, and that's the name Young. Apparently it's a 'southern' thing to use this as a name, for some reason I find it very Southern-plantation owner-like.

Hey Everyone, Spooky's husband was kind enough to take a look at the error messages we were all periodically receiving and made adjustments to the script in the backend. It appears to be functioning fine now as neither myself nor Spooky have gotten an error in the last day or so. If anybody gets an ...

Liam, great story!

If you have the picture on your computer or can get it scanned into the computer you can email it to me (taz@elviscostellofans.com) and I can post it up on the board in the Photo Gallery section for you.

Oh you dirty bastards...I'm sure you are all there right now having a great time...

Though I wasn't joking about pictures...

I saw that one Rope...good call!!! Hilarious!
