WTF is THAT? Looks like a basketball jersey with sleeves. What was so wrong with these? I think that these Dallas stars have better uniforms: http://stars.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=8481

Didn't that guitar just go to auction earlier this year some time? Quick turnaround

In honour of getting tix for the Toronto show this morning:

oooh Baby Baby

S W E E T I just scored a pair of tix for the Toronto gig. Beat the Box Office on Q107 this morning. Every time they play Bruce you can win tix if you're the 7th caller. Freaked me out as I got through right away ... they answered and I was caller number 1. D'oh! Then I called back and got through again ... and was caller number 7 :D :D :D I can't believe the show is only a month away too.

PIGS CAN FLY !!

I'm trying to remember if he played it at that Kingswood show on that tour. My mind is a bit hazy on the details .

BTW - i gotta thank Big Wooly Mammoth for turning me on to Lanois back in 95 when he convinced me to come out to see him perform with Emmylou Harris on the Wrecking Ball tour. What a SHOW!

Just caught the interview with Daniel Lanois on The Hour with George Stromboulopolous. Daniel ran through a version of Here Is What Is on a nice old acoustic Gibson (signed by Emmylou Harris) as a soundcheck. Normally musical guests don't perform on this show, so this was a nice treat. I was close enough (and there were only about 15 people there) to hear them talk off camera. Ran through the interview explaining his new film. Showed the clip where he's talking to Brian Eno. Daniel said it was really fascinating spending a week in Shreveport, LA with Brian Blades family. They performed in Brian's father's church band for the whole week. Daniel said that he had spoken with Bono as he was starting the film. Bono said "you're doing a film about yourself? Death by narcissism! Be careful". Supposedly U2 has seen the completed film and were astounded. He's been working on their new ablum with them recently. They are thinking of touring with the film in much the same manner that they just did in Toronto. Show the film and have a "cocktail party". Then stick around for a couple of nights and do a couple of shows. "Give back to the town that is having you there." Right on. They finished the interview with Daniel strumming and instrumental piece that was really good. Man, does he have a distinct sound or what. After it was over, I went and thanked Daniel and complemented him on the show from Wednesday night. His eyes light up and he said "did you SEE Brian Blade?!" Oh yeah, and I told him that it was magical. He agreed and said that it was truly a monumental show. He then got excited remembering it and started telling George how amazing Blade played that night and how he encouraged him a number of times to keep a song going and extend it because it was working so well. He was happy to hear that the crowd at the show had found it as entertaining as HE did Good times ... and I can't wait to get to another Lanois gig. Here's a couple of pics I grabbed with my phone:
