    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    If I remember correctly, he originally wanted to call the album that eventually became "Decoration Day"..."Heathens".

    I recall reading an interview about that.

    Don't forget...Letterman tonight!

    Yeah, it was taped Monday...I've resisted the urge to find out what they played. I'll wait and be surprised.

    Glad to see Dave showing love for DBT!

    They should play Steve McQueen in Dave's honor...."And speaking of pussy, I guess Dave got it all
    He fucked the assistant down the hall and he probably would've fucked Ali McGraw"

    I jest. Sorry Dave.

    Don't apologize. The thought of Dave Letterman boning is funny enough.

    Check this out...behind the scenes of selected songs from "The Big To-Do" starting with Birthday Boy.

    Be on the lookout for my favorite Rock N Roll cliché: "This song almost didn't make the record". :D

    my dad's a big fan...I was thinking about taking him to see them in Philly...I know he would love to see them live but Philly is 2hrs from us so it would make for a long night, not an issue for me but it might make it less enjoyable for him...any one have an idea how long their shows usually are?

    they played over 2 and half hours when I saw them in charlottesville. Add the opening band and it makes for a long (and enjoyable) night. I'm 52, so for me, having a seat helps. We sat in the 1st row of the balcony and I think I enjoyed it more.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride"!

    Generally....at least two hours if they are the head-liner.

    Letterman appearance was good, enjoyed it too. I noticed though that their appears to be less distinction in the guitars though. Don't know if it's just this track or not, but one of the things I really love about the DBT is how well they merge three guitar players. Not just a wall of sound, but a lot of different things going on at once.

    Still waiting for my copy of the Big To-Do...

    Intodeep - Here's Saturday's setlist. Looks like a great show, even without the Dirty South songs. You can download the show from Archive.org here:

    "Kim said Jimmy you better get yourself up off of that raggedy couch,
    I'm too pretty to work and I'm tired of you uglyin' up my house"

    Man, I'm enjoying it a lot. It's a classic -- in the sense of what you would expect -- Truckers albums to me. Got the rockers, Patterson's story songs (The Wig He Made Her Wear) and Shonna's songs on this one are better than those on Brighter Than Creation's Dark in my opinion.
    Highlights for me so far are Birthday Boy, After the Scene Dies, Get Downtown, The Fourth Night of My Drinking and Cooley's Eyes Like Glue. It's a good one I say
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all
