Are they good? I could probably see them in Austin. They're fun! Intense Irish-punk music. There was a banjo, fiddle, and accordion on stage, but it was still driving punkish stuff. It's like going to an Irish Pub with 2,500 other people, moshing and so forth. I didn't mosh, too old for that lol - I just kinda bop along nowadays. Check out some of their clips on youtube..

Thanks, 'nother Eric!

Well apparently I saw King Crimson on 4 September 1982! I don't remember a thing about the show (alcohol was definitely a contributing factor). It was a festival in Wiesbaden called the 5th Golden Summernight Concert, which also included Jethro Tull and Neil Young. This bugs me, because the 2011 "me" would have LOVED that show. The 1982 "me" was clueless that day and wanted to party with high school friends. I can't find the setlist, but here's one from 8/13/82, so it was probably comparable: 1. Waiting Man 2. Thela Hun Ginjeet 3. Red 4. The Howler 5. Frame By Frame 6. Matte Kudasai 7. The Sheltering Sky 8. Discipline 9. Neal and Jack and Me 10. Neurotica 11. Elephant Talk 12. Indiscipline Man, I'm kicking myself!

Happy Birthday!

I don't think anybody is denying parents have a responsibility to rear their children. Not sure why anyone would disagree with that in general. Schools aren't entitled a free pass for anything though - there are certainly suspect teachers (of both genders) who have sex with their students, teachers that are coasting and not really teaching, and other things. On the whole they try to do what's right, just as parents do... on the whole.

I agree. And I'd guess Armstrong is only retired until he decides to un-retire again, in 2 yrs or so. Once the spotlight is off of him enough and he craves more. P.S. - Jazzbo: If I were you, I'd say I was Lance's brother - might get better seats at restaurants, shows, etc!

SW Update from Facebook: "My second solo album is nearing completion. It will be in the form of 2 separate 40 minute albums released in the same 2 CD set, and will also come as a blu-ray with surround mix, high definition stereo and a lot of visual material (Lasse is already working hard on films for many of the songs, attached is a still from one of these we shot a couple of weeks ago to a song called "Index"). We're also planning a special Insurgentes style hard back book edition with a full length bonus CD of additional material. A year in the making, this is without doubt my biggest project to date, perhaps my most ambitious and personal music, and with some phenomenal musicians and performances on it (drummer Nic France in particular is going to blow a lot of people away). We hope a website will launch around April/May to start previewing material, with the album scheduled for September. More soon...." I'm excited! 3 cds of new SW!
