Hec find that Stevens CD - it is fan-freaking-tastic.
The one and only time I saw Neil Young I thought it was going to be a greatest hits kind of show but instead it was his theme album/theater thing Greendale, which was fucking awesome and goes in my top ten shows of all time but I was so sad I didn't get to see him do "Powderfinger" which is one of my favorite songs evah. For the encore? First song = Powderfinger. It was awesome. Had no idea he wrote for LS first. Huh.
ION, I now have a wicked sunburn.
Ravinia is alot of fun. It's totally where I wanted the LotR symphony to be performed with you know the CSO and a really good choir.
Lyle Lovett is amaing live, isn't he? That was Francine Reed, who has a couple of solo discs out as well as performing with the Large Band -- Lyle Lovett duets on "Why I Don't Know," I think it's called, with her on her first CD.
I dreamt I was hanging out with Lyle Lovett last night.
I attempted to watch
Rock Star: InXS
tonight. I found extremely watch from the hall. In fact, I called a friend who was also finding it watch from the hall and we were able to support each other through the 30 minute elimination episode.
This might be the best thread to mention this -- guess who gets a visit from Liese S. and her hubby??? (If it's not me, this is a really lame post.)
But it is me! They're in Kentucky right now -- they've been travelling this summer with their program -- and are headed to Indiana tomorrow, and are driving through Cincy. I told them that if they'd like to stop and take a break, I'd love to fill them full of Graeter's to beat the heat.
They'll also be back in Cincy on Thursday, for longer than just taking a break -- the whole afternoon/evening. As of right now, it's looking like we'll hook up on Thursday -- Liese e-mailed me a little while ago and said that tomorrow looks busy for them, though there's an outside possibility that they may stop on their way through.
In any case, YAY! Liese and hubby!!!

Lucky you! I'm very jealous. (Also - take pictures.)
Are you still up? Can you hop on IM for a second?

As well you should be.

But of course! It's some kind of law -- all Buffista meetups must be photographed for proof and posterity.

now for the hivemind question . In the 70's there were at least 2 different fake interviews with popular figures and all the answers to the questions were popular song lyrics. for example: Nixon was interviewed and when asked how he was feeling - the answer to the question was " on top of the world"( carpenters) and when Mr. Jaws was interviewd one of the answers was " why can't we be friends , why can't we be friends" ( war) . anyone got anymore info and even where they might be found?
That was Dickie Goodman, the king of the novelty hit. [link]
Mr Jaws actually sang, "Wouldn't you give your hand to a friend?"
