What was your first rock concert?
The first national act I saw live was the Four Seasons, but I don't count it as my first rock concert because 1) it was a benefit for a youth center,2) Tony Bennett was the headliner and 3) I WENT WITH MY PARENTS. It was at the Westchester County Center in 1965 or perhaps 1966. The first REAL rock c...

Re: I Like Jazz
I like jazz.
I love the fact that we're thinking "Oh, it's Me Wag" as if that's a normal sounding sentence.

Re: What TV shows are you watching?
I love that show (American Pickers" and have been following it for quite some time. There's some really fine chemistry between the 3 characters and those they meet along America's roadways. I also like the 3 main characters, although I think Mike overacts. What I really love about the show is ...

Re: Non One-Hit-Wonders who never topped first LP
This is actually a question, not a statement. I've only heard 'Music from Big Pink' and 'The Band' by The Band. Did anything they released after that (not counting the soundtrack to The Last Waltz) compare to those two albums? I think they recorded many songs at the same level of excellence as on t...

Re: Beach Boys.
The Beach Boys are such an institution that it's very hard to separate any given record from their entire history and the public perception of it. It's hard for me to fathom that someone without a negative bias and/or backlash against the Brian Wilson worship would not think that some of their recor...

The other day my brother texted me something about Wynton, but he spelled it Winton. Maybe he was talking about Clint Winton?

Non One-Hit-Wonders who never topped first LP
I'm talking about quality, not sales. And not looking for "flukes" as much as artists who produced great first albums right out of the gate. Elvis Costello - As great as later stuff is, to me My Aim Is True is astonishing. I thought I could come up with more right off the top of my head. T...

Been watching a lot of American Pickers...........sort of. I find it's a great show to have on in the background when I'm on the computer and not really paying attention. PS. "Good Background TV" might be a good thread in itself. I hereby assign all rights to starting it to whoever starts ...

OK. I promise to reveal the answer to "How Many Boners does it take to screw in a light bulb" on this board. It's earned it.
