I definitely think there's another side to this story. Take a few minutes to check out the jazz pages on the brewery's website, and watch this video of T.S. Monk at launch of Brother Thelonious ale.

Gay rights pioneer Edith Windsor, whose lawsuit against the federal government helped pave the way for same-sex marriage nationwide, has died at 88. Windsor was thrust into the national spotlight after suing the federal government upon receiving a $363,000 estate-tax bill after the death of her first wife, Thea Spyer, in 2009. Her case, United States v. Windsor, went to the Supreme Court, which in 2015 overturned the Defense of Marriage Act and established a constitutional right to gay marriage. Former President Barack Obama was among the many people who reflected on Windsor's legacy following her passing. "America’s long journey towards equality has been guided by countless small acts of persistence, and fueled by the stubborn willingness of quiet heroes to speak out for what’s right," Obama said in a statement. "Few were as small in stature as Edie Windsor – and few made as big a difference to America." NBC News

Saw this article about a guy who played his sax during surgery to help his doctors determine they were operating in the right area of the brain and had successfully removed the last bit of tumor. Interesting read: https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/musician-plays-sax-during-brain-tumor-surgery-n796971 The article didn't mention what tune he played. "I've Got You Under My Skin" perhaps?

Of course, I wish you the best of luck, but you have a better chance of: 1. Becoming U.S. President (1 in 10 million) 2. Winning an Olympic gold medal (1 in 662,000) 3. Being killed by a vending machine (1 in 112 million) 4. Contracting ebola in the U.S. (1 in 13.3 million) 5. Being canonized (1 in 20 million) 6. Shooting 3 consecutive holes-in-one (1 in 156 million) 7. Having an IQ of 190 or greater (1 in 107 million) 8. Dating a supermodel (1 in 88,000) 9. Being struck by lightning, while drowning (1 in 183 million) 10. Dying from being a left-handed person misusing right-handed products (1 in 7 million)

I just read that Dick Gregory has passed away. R.I.P. nbc.com

According to Wikipedia: The Haeco-CSG, or Holzer Audio Engineering-Compatible Stereo Generator system, was an analog electronic device process designed to make stereophonic vinyl LP records compatible with mono playback equipment. These recordings were intended to make the 2 channel stereo mix to automatically "fold-down" properly to a single mono channel.

Sam Shepard, whose hallucinatory plays redefined the landscape of the American West and its inhabitants, died on Thursday at his home in Kentucky. He was 73. Mr. Shepard wrote more than 55 plays (his last, “A Particle of Dread,” premiered in 2014), acted in more than 50 films and had more than a dozen roles on television. He was also the author of several prose works, including “Cruising Paradise” (1996), and the memoir “Motel Chronicles” (1982). Though he received critical acclaim almost from the beginning of his career, and his work has been staged throughout the world, he was never a mainstream commercial playwright. Most recently he portrayed the patriarch of a troubled Florida family in the Netflix series “Bloodline.” But the role that may have matched actor and subject most neatly was Chuck Yeager, the laconic test pilot in “The Right Stuff,” Philip Kaufman’s adaptation of Tom Wolfe’s book about the early days of the space program. It earned Mr. Shepard an Oscar nomination. NYT obituary

As I said before, screw the M vs Mc spectacle. Instead check out this fight Tonight on Showtime:

All of Doug's SteepleChase recordings are worth having.

Wouldn't your loss claim be filed against the carrier, rather than Amazon? In any event, I don't think it would hurt to file a claim and make a report with the carrier.

Don't you mean, Darn That Dream.

In every possible way, the Golovkin-Alvarez fight will be the one boxing fans should watch. Even their press events are characterized by professional respect and well, fun. Check this one out: http://on.wsj.com/2sQxNBY

Perhaps if you provided additional information we could be more helpful in estimating its value, i.e., publisher, sku, size, pictures of the front and back covers, etc.

Yes, I know. Showtime is televising the Money Show (what a waste of good broadcasting talent), and HBO is scheduled to screw with my enjoyment of the real fight between GGG and Cinnamon.

This "event" is a total farce of the highest order. I've denied Mayweather my hard-earned bucks for years, and certainly won't help him pay his tax bill now. I hope people save their money and spend it instead on Golovkin vs. Alvarez on Sept. 16th. Now that has the potential for being a great fight. I only wish that Showtime was broadcasting it, instead of HBO. I can't stand Lampley and Kellerman, but I do enjoy Showtime's team of Mauro Ranallo, Al Bernstein and Pauli Malignaggi.

I believe that disc also contains a documentary on the making of Sgt. Pepper and promo films for some of the songs on the album.

My favorite is Black Saint. I even have a tattoo of the label on my shoulder.

A very happy birthday to you, Jim!

I agree. First-generation pirate is usually better.

Wow! What's it sound like? Do you like it?

You know what's tiresome? The endless "album covers with..." threads. But then, I just avoid them. Simple really.

Just learned that the guitarist/founder of the seminal Boston group, The J. Geils Band, has died at age 71 from "natural causes". The article states that "the band bridged the gap between disco and new wave", a claim which is ludicrous to any fan of this great group. RIP John (second from the right in the picture below).
