It has gotten very very quiet in here. Pivotal game for the Sens tonight against Pittsburgh. More and more folks are getting vocal about a shake-up, or something that could initiate a turn around. TSN has an article online right now with a lot of viewer response at the end of it: http://tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=183534&hubname= So what are they going to do, and when?

Don't get so excited ... i haven't seen anything anywhere to substantiate any sort of claim that Gabriel will be a part of the North American tour. ALL he has said, is that he has commitments through 2007. The media is taking that and deducing that he will be free for the North American leg of the Genesis tour in 2008? Then, being "available" is now broken-telephoning into he WILL be part of the tour. By adding Gabriel (and hopefully Hackett) at a later date, they'd have to totally redo rehearsals, staging, production, etc. It's possible, but i wouldn't count on it. The thought of Gabriel and Hackett having to suffer on stage while Invisible Touch and I Can't Dance, are being played is positively puke-making Now, on to The Musical Box at Massey (and maybe Hamilton next week ) .... Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

I just walked to Rotate This on my lunch hour. They are all out of Easy Star tix! Ticketbastard still has 'em. I want to get a couple, but it looks like i may have to resort to the TBastard Any ideas on showtime? I know it lists 8pm, but i think there's an opener. Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

Really? I wonder if fans will start staying away from the games. I can't believe that they would start playing in front of a less than sold out crowd, but who knows. They definitely need something to happen there to get the confidence back. Confidence for not only the players, but the fans as well. Is Harper showing up at many games? You'd think he'd be there as much as possible with his supposed love of the game. Just curious. Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

If you want to understand the whole mid-term election process and what it means, just watch this video ... it's hilarious: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1FcZJqqA2AI Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

Great pic!!! Thanks for sharing. They can pray and figure out why God wanted daddy to lose

Dylan's been playing on a sparse stage for some time now. I really think his show is more suited for the theatre style settings. Shit, a 3 night run at the Hummingbird would have been better. I was in the "army" on the floor, however I was standing for the dylan set riding the rail over on Bob's side. We had a speaker right in front of us that was pumping out Dylan's vocal. Maybe we were the only ones who could hear his voice clearly, but it sounded pretty cool from there. I was really surprised at how full the venue was actually.

Antropov: the BEST thing to come out of Kazakhstan since Borat

S W E E T !

This is a drag. Hopefully they will make it through this and can use it as a motivator that they are not reliant upon one player. When the captain goes down, it's a big blow to any team. Sundin seems to recover quickly from injuries. I hope that's the case here. Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/Artists/D/Dylan_Bob/ConcertReviews/2006/11/08/2276931.html Air Canada Centre, Toronto - November 7, 2006 By BILL HARRIS - Toronto Sun Living legend Bob Dylan performed at the Air Canada Centre last night. (File photo) TORONTO - Distant but dignified. Dignified but distant. But in decidedly good voice. This may invite the wrath of multitudes, but Bob Dylan is not the most compelling live act, visually speaking. That is in no way meant to question the 65-year-old Dylan’s status as a legend or his continued above-average output in the recording studio. He’s Bob Dylan, for goodness sake, the voice of a generation whether he wants to be or not. The vast majority of the sold-out crowd at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto last night assuredly went home happy because they got to see and hear Bob Dylan in person. But the hearing bit was by far the best part. In 2006, perhaps you go to a Dylan concert mainly to be able to say that you saw him. His live show — evaluated strictly as a show — is achingly plain. Still, only Paul McCartney can match Dylan these days for the sense of history that is in evidence when he walks on stage. And from the first few phrases of opener Maggie’s Farm last night, Dylan’s raspy voice was notably rich and deep, combining with his stellar and tastefully reserved band to fill the vast venue with surprising depth. Dressed in black cowboy attire, Dylan didn’t move much or speak until he introduced his band prior to the final song, All Along The Watchtower. And if you were sitting on the south side of the arena, you rarely saw Dylan’s face because he spent all night standing at a keyboard facing north. Simplistic charm aside, it would have been nice had a big video screen been set up. It’s common practice at major rock shows in the 21st century, and as Dylan should know as well as anyone, the times do change. But as Dylan played chestnuts like She Belongs To Me and Tangled Up In Blue, as well as songs from his new CD Modern Times, you could close your eyes and still feel as if you were getting your money’s worth. That’s rare. And at the end of it all, there even was a visual memory to take home, too. After the lights went down and the applause was just dying down, the lights came back on and Dylan was standing there, swaying slightly, as his band stood stoically behind him. No waving, no mugging, just taking in the ovation. Pretty cool stuff. Distant but dignified, you might say. There aren’t many performers famous enough to attract Foo Fighters as an opening act, but Dylan is one of them. Foo frontman Dave Grohl engineered a truncated version of the acoustic concert his band played at the Hummingbird Centre mere months ago. Grohl last night got a standing ovation for his solo run at Best Of You, but he admitted he initially had left the song off the ACC setlist. “I didn’t know if I wanted to scream at people for four minutes, it might freak them out,†Grohl said. “But then a friend of mine said, ‘Dude, they’re Dylan fans, come on.’ â€

Great show last night, IMHO. The Foo Fighters ROCKED!! Man, Grohl is such a good performer. Dylan's set: Toronto, Ontario Air Canada Centre November 7, 2006 1. Maggie's Farm 2. She Belongs To Me 3. Lonesome Day Blues 4. Positively 4th Street 5. It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) 6. When The Deal Goes Down 7. Highway 61 Revisited 8. Masters Of War 9. Rollin' And Tumblin' 10.

I'm outta here in a couple of minutes ... BEER TIME Come by and say HI at the Loose Moose if you can before the show. I'll be there with a couple of buddies. Just look for my avatar I'll be in blue jeans and a long sleeve white/grey shirt over a yellow one. Look for the SYF necklace Have a great show everyone.

Some friends here at work just got to see the taping of The Hour w/ George Stromboulopoulopolous Foo Fighters were on as guests. They said it was pretty cool, but that they didn't perform anything. Too bad. So, if you want to see the Foos, they'll be on The Hour tonight (CBC and Newsworld). Later . . . Kanada Kev =8)

40mins 'til BEER I haven't jonesed for a brewski like this in a long long time.

Happy 4:20

Nice little montage set perfectly to the words of the song (whether you like it or not ) http://www.boingboing.net/2006/11/07/electionday_homemade.html

Ollie ... well, the rumours have finally come to fruition. I truly wasn't expecting Gabriel to join in, but I think it would have made a world of difference to have included Steve Hackett. I'm just worried that all we'll get is a 10minute "medley" of the good stuff. I'll probably cave in and go anyway. In the meantime, we've got The Musical Box and the Slippermen to get us by

True ... and what makes it more maddening is that some of us have relatives in that camp! My dad and his wife became 'born again' a few years ago. I've been able to keep them tame when we get together, but it seeps through. When they try to brainwash my 2 and 4 year old kids I have to draw the line! So many evangelicals like Haggard, are two-faced hypocrites. It's enough to drive you insane and impossible to try to get any reason through their thick skulls. Long live pagan holidays like Halloween It drives them nuts seeing their kids dressed up as ghouls, devils, and having fun.

droool. I'm soooo thirsty right now. I'll have to get a coffee and wait for my beers for another couple of hours Enjoy for me for now

Ahhhhhh ... Cinquante I nice cold quart would go down REALLY nice right now!

Pat Robertson needs to be brought down too. That is one SCARY dude!

Oh yes! He friggin' rocks. One of the few in the MSM who have been determined to speak out against the Bush regime. If his editorial comments can't muster true American pride, i don't know what can. Be sure to search his name on Youtube and catch some of his other commentaries.
