ISO - Apollo 1 Ticket

Listened to "Shelter from the Storm" this morning and it's such a powerful song. Beautiful lyrics and a depth that I don't always recognize.

Is there anything worse than home town sports talk radio?

Life of Pi - watch it.

Spring Saturdays have a way of bringing out my good mood.

CP218430 · April 2021

Suggestions on great tv shows or movies? I'm a treadmill rat and watch damn near everything.

There is something glorious about seeing highly talented amateur athletes in their prime. It’s just more satisfying than professional sports.

I see a lot of shows starting to pop up in July and wonder if they're actually going to happen. A lot of them are for country music - I guess I'll be a believer when rock shows return.

Christmas for the NFL is upon us. That being said, if you're a Bears fan you don't hope for a shiny new bike, you just pray you don't get coal. At this point, if I got fresh oranges in my stocking I'll take taht as a win. Or socks/underwear - I can use those.

Something I find so sad on a daily basis is the lack of literacy in young people. They have no desire for knowledge or the ability to cognitively engage in it when it's presented.

CP218430 · April 2021

The Bears give me hope again. Beautiful Day. Let's get live music back.

You've been carrying on an interesting conversation with yourself for some time now

I thought I would jump in.
I sure hope this Apollo show happens over the next 12 months! I had plans to get myself in there.

At this point I can't quit unless they call off the show. I mean right? Otherwise I'd just come across weird.

Is there anything more lame than bench clearing in baseball?

Agreed. Most of us on here have some obsession issues for sure

Very lame. These guys don’t even know how to fight. They should probably watch some hockey games. At least some from the past eras.

CP218430 · May 2021

If you're going to fight, do it. If not, just stay in the dug out. Don't draw out a 3 hour game another 20 minutes to show dissatisfaction. And if someone threw a 99 mile per hour fast ball at my head, they deserve to get hit. So do it. This is coming from a non-violent person.

"Getaway" is such great album opener. One of the band's most underrated songs.

CP218430 · May 2021

I used to love Radiohead, claimed no one would be better - like ever. I don't dislike them. And I don't claim they're not an amazing band but they don't have the legs for me to listen to them a lot. It's odd how those tastes shift.

Nolan's Tenet is worth two viewings. First time just soak it in, second time give it all your attention and you'll be quite surprised at how cohesive and immersive it can be.

Strangest thing about Covid, wearing a mask all the time really curbs my snacking. Not a bad thing. Bottom barrel comments this week.

CP218430 · May 2021

I really fell in love with The Daily Show over quarantine. It took me a bit to embrace Trevor Noah (nothing against him just a big difference) and yet that difference is awesome. He's amazing. Even more so, his memoir - Born a Crime. Read it. It's insightful and funny. The dude is just mega talented.

Happy Mother’s Day - parenting is hard. Giving birth is the most insane thing I’ve ever been present for. Again, I wasn’t pushing the child out - just there. Love these phenomenal moms!

It's bear waiting for this May weather to break into something consistent.

CP218430 · May 2021

Perusing the Deep immersion and it's great. I'm hoping they add the 06 shows and beyond but I'll take whatever I can get. Just fun to access and roll through them.

CP218430 · May 2021

Ohana means Apollo! Soon. Soon. Soon.

CP218430 · May 2021

I saw a little reduction in set times in 2018 and it made sense. The uptick from 13-16 was huge. But now I’m wondering what we will see in 2022 - and how many Gigaton songs will we hear? Ohana really has me giddy and optimistic for the years moving forward.

Vinyl is the only product I can remember in the longest time that when it goes out of print you have to wait awhile to get it. If you can get it. I sort of love that. It makes the purchases that much more agonizing.

CP218430 · May 2021

It's crazy that fests are getting announced left and right. I guess an outdoor event makes the most sense. But then I think of how many people jammed together...it's fascinating and I'm sure the organizers are trusting the professionals and the artists as well. Just an odd world we're living in when this is an abnormal announcement. Makes me almost want to go back to a festival.

Today the studio version of "Yellow Ledbetter" came on and it reminded me how much Pearl Jam fostered my musical knowledge. Before the Jeremy Single I didn't know what a B Side was. I was at a point where I had all four studio albums (maybe three) and I found that singles had unreleased songs, so I snatched them up whenever I found them at Sam Goody, Walmart, Kmart...wherever. And to my surprised "Footsteps" and "Yellow Ledbetter" were phenomenal. I became a junkie. It was such a great feeling.

CP218430 · May 2021

A live version of Ledbetter came over the radio today and it’s amazing just how 70s that song sounds live. The guitar, reverb/feed back is phenomenal. How this band was ever considered anything other than rock is beyond me.
