PHILLYQ

Just asking, what happens with a case of consent followed by regret followed by a false rape allegation?

With Strassberg it's ratings and buzz- he's got both. It reminds me of when Dwight Gooden or Fernando Valenzuela broke in. By showing Strassberg on national TV, maybe seomeone who's not a hardcore fan will tune in, ratings rise, more revenue, more people talking baseball, etc

here's a link, annual sale at the Archive of Contemporary Music: http://www.arcmusic.org/begin.html I stopped by there for 2 minutes yesterday and scored a Wayne Shorter 1996 at Montreux DVD for $2!!!

If you can find the old Sonny Fortune discs(one title is 'Waves of Dreams' IIRC)with Sullivan they are, as I recall, verrrrry good.

Done. Folks, this is a great place to hang on the web. It's up to us to keep it that way & to keep it running, so please cough up the bucks.

HB to a fellow Brooklynite!!!

Maybe his last roomate didn't 'move' enough.

HB Chuck and many thanks for all the fine music you've made available- I appreciate it a great deal.

Most people are... Nuances = theft,exploitation, dirty dealings "nuances", eh?

With the bunting a lot depends on the situation- there was a game where a guy was working on a no-hitter, up 2-0 and a guy bunted to try and get on. The hitter was roudly criticized, but if he gets on and the next guy hits one out it's a tie game. Bunting to get on when you're on the short end of a 20-0 score in a potential no-no is rather weak in my book. I always want to see a clean hit break up a no-no or perfect game. YMMV

A perfect game against a good team is pretty rare- kudos to Braden!

I watched the game, Ghost, and it was weird. Beckett started out like a house on fire, and in the 6th he just lost it- it seemed like he didn't know where the ball was going. He hit two guys with the bags jammed, the last thing a pitcher wants to do, and though the Yanks were yeling from the dugout it didn't look intentional at all to me. Dan, don't give up hope on today's game--Dave "Houdini" Robertson, he of the 13.50 ERA, has taken to the mound for New York!

Does the woman who plays Annie actually play the violin? Whoever does has a gorgeous tone.

How's Mota doing without the 'roids?

The Stone is not for everyone. I like it a lot, but just note that they sell no drinks or food,and the decor is austere. It is cheap and if your interest is just music it's very nice.

The live album was recorded over two nights at Central Park in 1973 and I was at one of those nights. I was 17 and it was a mind-altering experience, even though I had seen them the year before there. Mahavishnu led me to Miles, then to everybody else.

If you're in the Village and you want some excellent pizza,try John's on Bleeker Street: http://www.johnsbrickovenpizza.com/ I love pizza and I highly recommend it. 55Bar is a really cool place for music and usually not expensive. If there's anybody you like, Jazz Gallery is nice:http://jazzgallery.org/live/

More here. This guy is remarkably ignorant of NYC. There was only one baseball team in NYC from 1957-1962- who would a kid from Brooklyn or Queens root for? In '62 the Mets began, and only those who are attracted to lovable comic losers, or Yank haters or die-hard NL fans rooted for them. I went to my first baseball game in 1962, a doubleheader at Yankee Stadium and became a Yank fan for life there. I'm no Iscariot and any suggestion of same is a steaming pile of poo. That said, I'm not too crazy about the young kids who are Yank fans and only know winning and playoffs, etc. and are spoiled rotten. Yanks lose two games and they want to trade the team. I was a Yank fan in the dark years of Horace Clark, the reign of error of Stump Merrill, etc. This guy's an ignorant yutz.

So you can sleep tonight, ponder this- when you start counting, you start at one, not zero.

I ordered his new disc from Amazon and I'm excited to hear it. I caught some Wilco on TV recently, and for a rock band Cline does some stuff that's out there- very cool and still within the tune they're playing.

Ghost, don't sweat Tex, he always starts slow and winds up around the same numbers every year. His glove is always great.

The correct quote is "I got a huuuuuuge paycheck for this gig, so it's OK. Next week I'm playing China, followed by a residency in Zimbabwe."

I watched some of it last night- James Brown James Brown James Brown!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tha cape stuff was a rip and a half, the dancing on one foot, he tore the roof off the joint. Sting referred to this in the lyrics to 'When the World is Running Down...'
