  1. I'm not sure about that, but the movie Starman (w/Jeff Bridges & Karen Allen) filmed it's finale scenes there.
  2. Thanks! If you're not familiar with it, the Crater is fascinating. The meteor hit 50,000 years ago, at an impact of 29,000 miles per hour. Almost 4,000 ft in diameter, and 560 ft deep. (I learned this at the adjoining museum lol). The Apollo Astronauts trained here from 1962-1970, for the moon missions. It helped the astronauts learn how to read/maneuver the lunar landscape. https://www.space.com/meteor-crater-hole-from-space-lunar-surface

  4. This isn't really true at all. Queen is issuing some of their tracks to an online streaming service geared toward 3-8 year olds, with the average age of listeners there being 5 years old. 5 years old. The streaming company elected not to include that track for the listening pleasure of the 5 year olds. I see nothing wrong with this. The song still exists on their official albums, including their in-print greatest hits albums. It's not a "woke" issue. Whatever "woke" is. I know that is being pushed strongly by right wing media in this case though.

  6. I got to see Eric Dolphy's saxophone at the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix yesterday. It's a Selmer Super Balanced Action alto, he played this one throughout his entire career.
  7. Glad you enjoyed the 4th St Deli so much, Dmitry! It's been there forever, my first visit was back in 2008, and many times since then. There are still good delis like that in the suburbs - the one we went to most frequently was the Kibitz Room in Cherry Hill, due to proximity to our town. But 4th St is maybe my favorite, and I miss it. I need to find a good deli out here in Phx/Scottsdale.
  8. A couple of recommendations I have for decent food in Philadelphia - I just moved away from there 3 months ago. We like some of the Stephen Starr restaurants: * LMNO - Baja style Mexican restaurant in Fishtown * El Vez - traditional Mexican on 13th near Center City * Buddakan - Asian/Fusion - in the Old City area on Chestnut Others: Friday Saturday Sunday - amazing food, just won the James Beard 2023 award for best restaurant in the U.S. Located Rittenhouse Square Alpen Rose - steakhouse across from El Vez. There's no advertising on the restaurant other than a single rose next to the door. Felt like a cold-ward era place where spies would've shared stories. Zahav - Israeli food, hard to get into. Was the 2019 Beard Award winner for best restaurant in the country. Parc - decent-ish French cuisine on Rittenouse Square Famous 4th Street Deli - ok maybe a little touristy, but very good pastrami sandwiches
  9. I just listened to that a few days ago, Buzz. Good taste! n/p: David Gilmour
  10. As we age, many of us go back to what gives us comfort. And for many of us who love music, it's often the music of our more formative listening years, whatever style/genre that may be - hard bop, Armstrong, traditional country, classic rock, old school R&B, whatever. I'm not sure that's quite the same as getting more conservative, ears-wise. Maybe it is. Or maybe if you started out with a love of diverse sounds and styles, that continued exploration is your comfort zone. So maybe continuing to do what you did earlier is a form of conservatism, since you're not changing and evolving, despite continuing to listen to new things. I dunno. Outside of music, I've noticed many of the people I knew when I was younger have become more and more conservative (politically, culturally) personally as they age. I have less and less in common with them over time.
  11. I've had the original boot cd of the show since '91, but picked this up on vinyl when they officially released it a couple of years ago. The boot has a couple of additional songs that were played that night that didn't make the official release, as well. Fun informal show.
