All alone, cousin. Let's think of a game to play Now the grownups have all gone away. You won't be much fun, Being blind, deaf and dumb, But I've no one to play with today. Do you know how to play Hide and Seek? To find me, it would take you a week! But tied to that chair, You won't go anywhere. There's a lot I can do to a freak! How would you feel if I turned on the bath, Ducked your head under and started to laugh? Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm Will change your expression to one of alarm. I'm the school bully, The classroom cheat, The nastiest play-friend You ever could meet. I'll put glass in your dinner, and spikes in your seat. I'll drag you around By a lock of your hair, And give you a push At the top of the stair! What would you do if I Shut you outside To stand in the rain and Catch cold, so you'd die? I'm the school bully, The classroom cheat, The nastiest play-friend You ever could meet. I'll stick pins in your fingers, And tread on your feet. We're on our own, cousin. All alone, cousin. We've thought of some nice games to play While the grownups has all gone away. You weren't too much fun, 'Cause you're blind, deaf and dumb, But I'd no one to play with today.

Woodward ‘07: Rack ‘Em, Hippy! VW Bus Billiards Table Pardon our dust; we’re busy moving cubicles about here at WINDING ROAD Towers to make room for what has to be the coolest pool table we’ve ever clapped eyes on. This Ohio-plated Volkswagen Bus billiards table was trailed to Woodward where it simultaneously bemused and amused all who strolled by. We spoke with the owner, and he told us that although he doesn’t know who built it or when, he was able to snooker this T1 away from its previous owner for around $8000, and it now resides in his shop. The maroon felt Type 2 is fully functional and it appeared to have been built to a high standard. It didn’t look to have a full-fledged ball return mechanism, but it’s certainly playable, and it even has an integrated storage area for balls and other supplies beneath its engine flap. Pass the chalk, please.

Pretty good list. Who would you add or drop? I like the comments on Phish http://www.shoutmouth.com/index.php/news/25097

Isn't it almost harvest time? Y U M M Y

Ratdog @ Darien Lake a couple of nights ago (thanks Bradm) http://www.archive.org/details/ratdog2007-08-19.bk4022.acm671.burke.flac16 Ratdog Setlist: Jam > Here Comes Sunshine > Maggie's Farm > Loser > Money For Gasoline > Loose Lucy Jack A Roe @ > Victime Or The Crime @ > Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo > Samson And Delilah > Drums > Jam > Sugaree > Dark Star (verse two) > At A Siding > Terrapin Flyer E: Touch Of Grey

I think that Darien holds approx. 19,000 if sold out. I was up on the lawn and it was pretty full, but you could move around with ease. I'd say there must have been 15,000-16,000 maybe? Wh'appen?

YOUNG PLAYS NEW RECORD FOR REPRISE NY Times, August 16, 2007 Continuing a tradition that goes back to 1969, Neil Young played his latest recording for Reprise yesterday. The recording was played for about 100 people in Burbank. Produced by "The Volume Dealers," NY and Niko Bolas, the recording runs 60+ minutes and includes two giant songs that time in at 18:30 and 13:00, respectively. Drawing from three songs written previously, and 7 new songs, the latest Neil Young is a very diverse recording. A release date is unknown at this time. The title is Chrome Dreams II. Chrome Dreams is a legendary NY album from 1977 that had originally been scheduled for release but was shelved. The original cover for Chrome Dreams was created by Neil's long-time producer and friend, the late David Briggs. Unfortunately, all original documentation and art for this album was lost in a fire that destroyed Neil's Malibu home in early 1978. http://neilyoung.com/ [Published on 8/20/2007]

Yeah, and in prison he'll be a superstar ... good way to "reform"

I'd like to see a dog fight .... with Michael Vick. if Vick doesn't win, should he be drowned or hanged like he did to those dogs? I don't understand how people can be so cruel to pets (or other humans for that matter).

Streaming at: http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/ConcertDetail.aspx?id=2923|5541# Pink Floyd Oakland Coliseum Arena Oakland, CA 05/09/1977 Tracks: 8 Total Time: 1:19:31 Concert Summary Roger Waters - bass, vocals David Gilmore - guitar, vocals Rick Wright - keyboards, vocals Nick Mason - drums Dick Parry - sax, keyboards Snowy White - guitar, bass Pink Floyd's 1977 tour is widely considered to be one of the band's most memorable. Following the truly massive sales of Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here, the Animals album had not been as commercially successful, but the group's popularity was at an all-time peak. The tour sold out arenas and stadiums across North America and Europe, eclipsing all previous scale and attendance records. The tour was also the first since 1972 that the group did not use backing singers, with the only augmentation to the core band being Snowy White adding guitar and occasional bass parts and Dick Parry playing sax and occasional keyboards. The shows were structured so that the band played the Animals album, in a different sequence, during the first set and following an intermission, performed the entire Wish You Were Here album in its exact running order. The encore would usually consist of either “Money†or “Us And Them†from Dark Side Of The Moon. With technology and audiences both at a monumental scale, the tour was not without problems. Technical issues plagued many of the shows and audience members were often disruptive by yelling and screaming during quiet passages or by setting off fireworks. However, when the band landed in California for a two-night stand at the Oakland Coliseum, these were not issues. The first night, May 9, 1977, is often considered to be one of the greatest performances of the band's career. The band members seemed to enjoy the show just as much as their rapt audience. This show turned out to be the longest of any show on the tour, with the band delivering two powerful sets, followed by both Dark Side Of The Moon songs. The audience was so enthusiastic that the group returned to the stage and performed "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" for the first time since 1973 and for last time ever. Bill Graham's partial soundboard recording of this legendary performance begins near the end of the first set, approximately eight minutes into the final sequence of "Pigs (Three Different Ones)." The piece is relaxed but focused, with Rick Wright's spooky synth and one of the band's heavier jams highlighting this set-ending performance. Following the intermission, the show resumes with the Wish You Were Here album performed in its entirety. Fans of this album will be thoroughly delighted as this is a near flawless performance, with all the songs held together by extended sonic interludes. Prior to the vocals, the first part of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" has a distinctly bluesier edge than its studio counterpart and David Gilmore's guitar playing remains superb throughout the set. He even approaches jazz territory in his soloing during the later parts of this song, when they return to it later in the set. In between are poignant renditions of "Welcome To The Machine" and "Wish You Were Here" and a truly powerful performance of "Have A Cigar." On the latter, Roger Waters and David Gilmore are both laughing through much of the first verse, further exemplifying the camaraderie and good feelings that permeate this night's performance. Following the Wish You Were Here album and an overwhelming roar of approval, Pink Floyd offers the audience a double dose from Dark Side Of The Moon. It begins with the familiar sound of change hitting a cash register. "Money" lasts a full ten minutes and features a memorable jam within. David Gilmore informs the audience that the last song will be quiet one and the familiar synth sound leads into the spacey free-floating groove of "Us And Them" to close the show. Unfortunately, the soundboard tape runs out a few minutes in. Certainly one of the strongest, most cohesive performances of the 1977 Tour and possibly the greatest performance of the Wish You Were Here album ever. The group would never perform another tour that so richly emphasized this material. They would also be augmented by additional musicians on future concerts, diluting the sound of the core band. Many fans consider this tour to be the greatest of the band's career and this concert to be the definitive show of that tour.

The Lost War We've Spent 36 Years and Billions of Dollars Fighting It, but the Drug Trade Keeps Growing By Misha Glenny Sunday, August 19, 2007; B01 Thirty-six years and hundreds of billions of dollars after President Richard M. Nixon launched the war on drugs, consumers worldwide are taking more narcotics and criminals are making fatter profits than ever before. The syndicates that control narcotics production and distribution reap the profits from an annual turnover of $400 billion to $500 billion. And terrorist organizations such as the Taliban are using this money to expand their operations and buy ever more sophisticated weapons, threatening Western security.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=6580 Direct quote from the just published REAGAN DIARIES. The entry is dated May 17, 1986. 'A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne're-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida. The one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work.'

Glad you made it to the show (and back home again). I was going to take my "old" car to the show and I'm glad I didn't. It would definitely have had a nervous breakdown on the bridge . Here's another comment on last night from the Hittin' The Note forum:

FANTASTIC show last night. I'm so glad I went. The music all made up for the fact that i was stuck on the Peace Bridge for a good 1.5hrs trying to get over there. I'm exhausted today. http://www.buffalonews.com/entertainment/story/144853.html

Damn, getting ready to head out and they have no more Duty Free deals Oh well, it'll still be worth it (and i won't have to drink Blue )
