should a "guest" be specifically invited up by a band, before they decide to insert themselves into a mix? Should this ideally be discussed beforehand? I would think so. Of course there are always notable exceptions to this (e.g. the musicians know each other, have played together before, have mutual musician friends, respect each other's craft, have the ability to positively contribute, etc.) Otherwise I would think that an actual invite is reasonable.

Bingo.

It's someone else's gig and it is always the perogative of that band to choose *not* to have any guests join them that evening.

So, what happened?

So, I am in the twilight of my youth

Not that I'm going to remember

Have you seen the moon tonight, is it full?

Still burning it's embers

The people dancing in the corner

They seem happy, but I am sad

I am still dancing in the coma of the drinks I just had

Does anybody wanna take me home?

Does anybody wanna take me home?

Take me to your house and I'll leave you alone

Of course I will, of course I won't

It seems so tragic, but it disappears like magic

Like magic

Like magic

Can you recommend an education or drugs

Because I'm bored with you already

I'm on Broadway and I think it's a parade

I'm covered in pieces of confetti

And I am in the twilight of my youth

Not that I'm going to remember

Dancing and slowly and finding the truth

And it covered in coma

All these people in my life, they seem so in love

Well, I am not

Memorizing my shoes in a cigarette shop

Does anybody wanna take me home?

Does anybody wanna take me home?

I'm kinda lonely, will you take me home?

Of course you will, of course you won't

Of course I'm crass, it seems so tragic

Of course you will, of course you won't

But I'll disappear, I'll disappear

Just like magic

Just like magic

all the best Mike!

go pray

and you're calling ME crazy?!?!?

So you think you gonna cross me and mess with my shit?

Opening your fucking trap and flapping your lip.

Don't fuck with me nigga or you gonna get dropped.

I'll snap off your neck with a crackle and pop.

If you say anything, you'll beg me to die,

'cause I'll make you suck my dick then I'll nut in your eye.

I'll stomp on your world as if my name was Godzilla.

I'm coming for you mother fucker, I'm your Krazee-Eyez Killa.

Long live Krazee-Eyez Killa!

sorry, I didn't mean to be flippant or curt. He is an excellent artist.

yes Ryan Adams is very good.

I'm not reading that.

I flip back and forth as to whether this or Arrested Development is the best comedy show ever. I think for sheer imagination and don't-miss-a-thing intensity, AD wins out. But damn I loves me some CYE too.

Not an episode goes by where people don't start screaming at each other and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Did Bravo (or whatever it was) stop airing it up here? I haven't seen new episodes in quite a while.

me, I'm currently listening to 06/09/07 Richard Thompson Band, Chattaqua Auditorium, Boulder, CO

goddamn he is so good

as Hartamophone mention above, is likely the best thing Trey could've done for his health to get out of Phish

I'm not necessarily disagreeing here, but the events of last December suggest that dissolving Phish didn't really take care of his problems.

I sincerely hope Trey is doing well in the Summer of 2007 and I think it's a good sign we have barely heard a peep from or about him lately.

Jerry should be seen as both an inspiration and a cautionary tale.

I think GnR's music was total nonsense.

They drove me crazy 20 years ago and nothing has changed. I think GnR's music was total nonsense.

he was unique, the way he'd have a talk show with no studio audience and just yuk it up with someone positioned behind the cameraman.

RIP Tom.

Hapy Birthday brother!

ok, fair enough. thanks.

and were the Dixie Chicks really named after the Little Feat song?!?

still, The Rolling Stones were not named after a Dylan song that was released four years after their formation.

I've seen U2 five times and they most certainly deserve to be on the list. I've never seen a Toronto audience as enthusiastic as their crowd at the ACC a while back, and that says a lot since ACC crowds tend to be like knitting circles.
