Sorry, Tom! I've been planning it since before the F2F dates were decided. It's then because that's when my anniversary is.
River: I didn't think you'd come for me. Simon: Well, you're a dummy.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

My birthday! I turned 23 on that day, and was living in Boston and actually working a few blocks from MIT (at Lotus Development).
Bevis Frond! Excellent #1 choice, and how cool of him to play.

I was shocked when he said yes. He's flying out here from London just to do this one show!

Maybe he saw your White Castle commercial.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Billboard magazine archive on Google books: [link]
All the way back to 1942.
wfmu blog sez:
Just spent some time flipping through old issues of Billboard Magazine via Google Books. Turns out the goog has scanned and posted full issues of the magazine, dating all the way back to 1942.
Though it's mainly an industry mag, you'll find tons of gems like goofy old ads, lots of bad hair, an article about piracy/copyright in just about every other issue, anti smut campaigns throughout the ages, and a nice overall documentation of the rise and demise of the record industry.

Nahh, I've known him since the 80's. I wrote him a fan letter (something I RARELY do) after I picked up his first LP. A year or two later, I mentioned to him that I'd be visiting London and he invited me to visit his home. Just an incredibly generous guy.

Damn. Love to see that show, but tickets for the F2F are already booked. Of course, I think the only stuff of his I've heard was on your show. And it's been a while since I've been able to listen to that at work. Liked everything I heard, though.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I think it's a very good reason to have to miss the F2F, though.

Can you spot your favorite rock star by their armpit only?
