    and not to mention how badass!!!!!!!the Drive By Truckers were last week in my hometown of Greenville.
    take care and heres hoping for 10club and the band to stand the F**k up and do the right thing(if they have time). and that is just say an official yeah or neah!
    simple right?
    something they could have done 6 months ago.
    peace YA'LL
    DBT...DBT...DBT...DBT..had "Decoration Day" playing in the car today.....probably ready to grab the number one spot from Pearl Jam. DBT is a major kick-ass band.

    10 Club.......Make it right..........Communication and truth...the foundation for a great relationship. :p:p:p:p:D :eek: :eek: :)

    I betting on NO Southern shows until at least 2010. If it is six months before they get into the studio full tilt, and I believe that Mike mentioned that number, don't expect a new album until at least the fall/winter of 2008. That would be the earliest date for a release in my crystal ball. I am leaning more till sometime in 2009....late 2009. :eek:

    In all seriousness if a Republican wins the White House in 2008, I bet we get blamed fairly or unfairly and snubbed again. I will also throw this out....I would not vote for that Clinton creature even if you pointed a gun at my head. :p:p:p :mad: :mad: :mad: :( :(

    ty ty ty...why the incessant( sp?) hurtful political references....?????

    This is the real skinny

    Pearl Jam signed with a new label. During negotiations, there were some pretty standard industy terms that were agreed upon. J would do the new cd including promo....and then PJ would hit as many humans in this target audience to help promote the cd.

    Management of pj and J had a two year window to reach as many of its target audience as possible. Though the South does have a great number in this group, its a Global market, we compete with Europe and South America.

    Globalization killed our shows...not Dubya's antics and those that support him. (-:

    Course seeing that the "Not for you" meetings on the East Coast of the South I think the organizers of that meeting hold us Texans accountable for Dubya........IT AINT OUR FAULT. He's from Connecticut. We just schooled him.

    I hope PJ will play down here sometime soon. Preferably close to Tennessee in the next 3 years or so.

    Completely Agree...

    but I like Hillary and Edwards too..


    I really admire your(and the others) dedication to this thread and still believe it'll pay off in the end..(and hopefully I'll be in the audience..)
    I've seen all the WPM shows and the one in Ft Lauderdale and can't believe they don't enjoy playing FLA just as much as anywhere else

    Sorry to hear that..
    Not sure why so much dislike for her from some quarters.

    I used to like Guiliani...but too close to Bush for my taste and McCain is not the same man he used to be.

    Because she is a power-mad would-be tyrant that dons a liberal cloak for appearances and put up with a serial adulterer for a husband because it kept her close to the power. She is George Bush Jr. with xx chromosomes. No different, just panders to a slightly different crowd. She could/would no more unite this country than Dick Cheney in the Oval Office or a third dose of Bushie (which, Thank God can't happen). :p:p:p:p

    Or maybe they just Love each other? You never know what goes on in a relationship...not our business IMO..Bill's not the 1st to cheat and won't be the last.
    How is she power mad? Because she wanted to serve her country and has worked hard to fight for causes and make a contribution? Because she's been bipartisan and worked with repubs on legislation? To me that proves shes a uniter, not a divider
    To compare her to Bush/Cheney is worse then calling her a "creature"
    She's worked for where she is, not ridden on Daddy's and his friends coattails only to use a tragedy to mislead the country into war and give this country over to corporate greed at the expense of its citizens, soldiers, and veterans

    I repect yr right to disagree, and hopefully you respect mine to counter yr argument

    Funny stuff....you write for those wonderful CBS sitcoms? :rolleyes: She rode her husband's coattails..her campaign dollars come from the same bank accounts as his (Bushie)..she works for herself...she's about as bipartisan as Newt Gingrich, please. :rolleyes:

    Not cold in S. Florida my friends. Perfect weather. It would have been a fabulous weekend for a Friday night and Saturday night PJ weekend at the Sound Advice Ampitheater in West Palm Beach.

    I too wish a direct statement as in "PJ will not be playing the south" would have come at the start of this tour. Then maybe I would have traveled north to see a show or two. With no shows in the south my 10C membership has basically been rendered worthless. Very disappointing.

    It snowed off and on for a good part of the day at my parents. Nothing stuck to the ground because it was too warm. They were calling for it on the news, but I just brushed it off expecting it to only happen north of us. Ive been so conditioned to that lately ;).
    I see mention of some quote by Creadles. Was there something in one of the articles from last week?
