    Am I crazy to saw Neil's music in the 90's is his best period? I love Ragged Glory, Mirror Ball and Broken Arrow.

    I play this game - The Time Machine Game - where I can go back in time to any musical era and see all the bands I want to see and it's got to be the 70's. The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Floyd, early Springsteen and Petty, Paul, John and George, Dylan with the Rolling Thunder Review, The Band, Neil Young (with or without Crazy Horse - doesn't matter). I could go on but man that's amazing.

    Last night TJ McConnell posted the rarest of Triple Doubles - one with 10 steals. This is the first time a player has had a TD with steals since 1998 when....ding ding ding Mookie Blaylock did it. Thought that was fun and random.

    I rarely if ever believe in trade hype regarding pro sports but for some reason, some insane reason I truly believe Russell Wilson will be a Chicago Bear. I belief so much that I will be legitimately bummed if this doesn't happen. Maybe this is my version of lunatic conspiracy theories since I tend to loathe all of them with a passion...if it doesn't happen mock away (and hopefully a solid mock draft pick as well) but Russ will be in Chicago and tearing it up.

    It's been awhile since I've been able to read for joy. It's not always about the time but also the motivation to actually do it.

    I was thinking just how hard it is to pin Pearl Jam in a genre. They were tossed around as grunge (not a genre, not really anything), alternative (again, not really a genre and not Pearl Jam), they get compared with Neil Young (a little I guess), they're rock but they also go hard rock...it's a lot like Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, you can't really pigeon hole them. They have a sound for the most part but it's always changing - the band evolves. While someone like Radiohead is known for a constant evolution I'd argue Pearl Jam exists in a similar vein (Ten - Gigaton) while not seismic, surely not similar.

    I gave Gigaton a spin for the first time a long spell and it's really a great record. I think the pandemic really had a part to play in wanting to escape in music from the past or that wasn't so damn relevant. But what a beautiful record. I really discovered some love for "Alright" and "Whoever Said."

    Gigaton really has some keepers and every single song I'd like to hear live. Especially "Whoever Said" & "Quick Escape," I feel like those are tailor made for some killer jams. I know that comes years down the line but it's fun to think about how these songs would work and fit into a setlist.

    Gave Yield a full listen this morning and I love digging back into the band's catalogue, especially after a long time away. It's always so fresh. The best bands keep these tight albums and punch through once a listener gives it a shot.

    I've seen so many people walking outside the past week. We always get a cold break in the Mid-West but with an especially brutal winter and a rough pandemic I'm sure it has to do with more and more people going out in droves. It's refreshing and I can only hope people decide pay more attention to our environment and take care of the world we live on.

    Call me crazy but I'm feeling more and more optimistic about shows in late 2021. Will I see one? Who cares. Someone will and I think people in this forum will see PJ in all their glory in an outdoor venue.

    Tom Petty might be the only artist that I can listen to a Greatest Hits and love, listen to most any album and love, listen to B Sides, Live and/or listen to an Anthology of the hits and random songs. I can't say that about any other artist.

    We are a year into what has been an odd time and with March Madness returning, I still have that optimism. When will the Apollo show happen? Probably 2022. But at this point, waiting doesn't really matter, it's all about the outcome.

    I hate interrupting the Boston 2 Puke thread but I'm doing it. That thread is amazing. So many people enthused by vomit. Which begs the question, once we get back to shows: would anyone care that much about throw up just to get to see the band again?

    I've recently gotten back into reading. I had a wonderful summer of novels and work burnout has had me looking for other cures, reading is becoming a happy place to let my mind wander and disengage with the absurdity I see happening around me. Read more.

    Harry Styles is not only talented but his album is solid. I watched the Grammys for what I'm guessing is the first time in 20 years and he kicked it off. I liked it enough to listen up and yeah, good music. Not what I was expecting at all.

    It occurred to me that I've been at this for well over a year, it doesn't seem like it and at the same time has a year seemed longer? I started with self deprecating jokes about hazmat suits...had I only known...seems crass and wrong now. Never meant harm, nor cruelty.
