    I liked his first solo album. Some of About Face was okay (saw him that tour), Island was not bad.  Rattle I didn’t jive with, but he’s F-ing David Gilmour with. ‘U”. We scum bucket Americans wouldn’t spell it like that.

    I saw the About Face tour too at Tower Theatre in Pa.  Great show

    Heard the other day Mike Pinder of the classic Moody Blues era passed away. They were so good and people slagged them. 

    I agree. they were a great band. RIP Mike

    That skit was based on a real place in Chicago who's original location in under Michigan avenue very close to the Chicago Tribune building. It's called "The Billy Goat Tavern",  at Lower 430 North, Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60611. I've been to this location quite a few times. It was the dark and dingy hangout for Newspaper writers from the Trib, and the Chicago Sun Times, which used to be the next building west of the Trib on the Chicago River. Second City writers and comedians, (the original SNL and long time talent feeder to SNL), knew about it because many of them had worked in the newspaper business before writing for Second City. I was fortunate enough to spend some time with Del Close there, (and more than a few nights hanging with him at Old Town Ale House on North Ave. The story behind the first time I met Del is hilarious.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Del_Close  ).  Met Michael Royko Jr. at the "Billy Goat" for the first time as well.  Belushi, Ramus, Aykroyd and the Murray brothers were regulars at the Goat during there Second City days. The owners goat, and the Cub's refusal to allow the goat into Wrigley Field, resulted in the famous "Cub's curse".   Back in the '80's and early '90's, the Billy Goat was almost exactly how SNL portrayed it to be.

    Chips, no fries, Pepsi, no Coke, Cheezboyger, cheezeboyger, cheezboyger.

    I didn't know any of this. great history lesson. thanks. that skit has always cracked me up lol.

    Saw The Dixie Dregs last night at The Carolina Theater in Durham, NC. Killer venue. Really small theater. The Steve Morse Band opened. The Dregs did about 2 minutes of Jessica before they launched into Cruise Control. In my wife’s words about the show “that was amazing”. 

    Here is a link to the set list.

    We are seeing Dweezil there in September.

    nice . I bet that was great. I'd love to see Dweezil again.

    Musically, What are you working on?

    I'm not working on a particular tune although I should. I'm working on trying to improve on slide, standard & open tunings and trying to improve on phrasing when soloing. trying not to fill every space with a note ... some separation between licks & phrases.
