Many thanks to you for prompting me to research this! I can find tix, but want to know more about your experience. Was it all old stuff or was there alot of PW’s new solo effort?

Please contact me!

OMG OMG OMG!!!!!

lynnrockets posted about seeing a band that we LOVE here in Detroit… she got me to researching their goings on these days. They haven’t been around in ages.

Turns out her beloved band (mine as well) has scheduled dates in Detroit for THIS WEEKEND!!!! I had no idea and the last time I saw them was in 1979.

Can you please give her my email address and ask her to contact me? I want to ask her some questions about the show (that would put me back $150 if I go). Basically, I want to know that it’s all the “old stuff” and not a “new dvd” promo thing.

MANY thanks!!!!

XOXO,

I kept thinking that at some point SP would actually act like a grown up instead of a self centered child, act like a “politician” at least, but she just KEPT ON focusing on herself and her family, talking about ME ME ME and MINE. She barely addressed the focus of that poor misguided audience and the organization that invited her there.

I am embarassed to say I am surprised, because most of would have assumed she is just that self centered, I guess I just couldn’t imagine that she would be so self absorbed about it, and that she was SO blinded by the spotlight opportunity that she couldn’t see that her purpose there was NOT about HER entirely. A “politician” would have made it about the audience and the organization, ummm at least eventually.

My dismay & dislike for this woman has now reached a new low, a level I never thought possible. I couldn’t imagine I could like her less than I did before that speech. Wonders never cease. All I can do is hope that she continues along these lines, and that the media keeps hounding her for interviews. Eventually even the dimmest of brains will have to summarily dismiss her. And then peraps, eventually we won’t have to think about her anymore.

All I can say is Sarah, open mouth, insert shovel. PLEASE keep it up. Keep digging your own grave.

As for Sarah…

It’s truly unbelievable a movement hasn’t started to oust her. She is a divisive, manipulative, lying and grossly uneducated farce for the Republican party.

Not a day goes by that she isn’t embroiled in some sort of controversy, whether in appointing an AG or a Senator or explaining the birth of her so-called “son”, Twig. (BTW: What’s up with all the goofy names up there?)

While she supposedly “canceled” a mid-summer appearance for the RNC, due to “pressing State business”, it’s unfathomable that she would go to IN for completely NON-State business during the last week of Legislature with so much still not resolved (ie; stimulus funds, AG, Senator, etc.).

As for WAR, he was quoted somewhere in ADN about how he wonders if he’ll be placed with other AG’s in State archives since, after all, he was AG for 2.5 weeks. Ummm… can he really claim the title without having been confirmed?

And what AG is going to say “don’t worry about legal vs. illegal”? Isn’t that his whole JOB? To make sure things are done LEGALLY?

I shudder to think of how close Palin was to the White House. Even as close as she was to the Naval Observatory is enough to make one cringe.

I have a feeling even McCain shudders when he considers the consequences of such a thing.

She’d be “in charge of” the Senate!

Forget “Centerfold” and “Freeze Frame”! That stuff is crap in comparison… I like the good OLD stuff… the stuff that “Wooba Gooba with the Green Teeth” was famous for. We, like Boston, are “hard drivin’” rock and rollers.

Am I understanding you correctly? They are back together and performing around Boston? Any chance of a summer tour? Detroit would LOVE to host them again!! It’s just what we need here… a bunch of unemployed 40-somethings reliving the careless days of our youth. Take the stress away for just a few hours and we have a whole new lease on life.

We’re also trying to get Bob Seger to come out and play with us this summer. We have a fantastic outdoor theatre that is like 10 minutes from his house, so it’s not like a huge stretch for him to do a few nights. Like J. Geils, Rockin’ Robert Seger has an unbelievably loyal audience here. He could sell out 20 nights in a row, as could J. Geils. And there would STILL be those disappointed that it wasn’t “enough”.

It’s kind of too bad the rest of the country didn’t pick up on either band as phenomenally as Detroit did. They missed alot of great music and good times during the summer tours… Outside, under the stars on warm summer nights, plenty of libations… Ahhhh… the good ol’ days!

Thanks for conjuring up some phenomenal memories!!

I thank you. Other Hoosiers thank you. Our children and our grandchildren will thank you.

For me, Sarah Palin epitomizes how low the GOP has fallen into sheer, blind, raving insanity and nut-wingery disconnection from reality. Selfish, self-centered, self-serving, and incapable of knowing she is contradicting herself from one moment to the next, or just plain lying through her teeth. The idea that she and McCain actually got over 45% of the vote in the last election makes me want to heave. And fear for America.

Hello, it is good to see a friendly poster. Obviously, I’ve been out tonight, but you would think that I could somehow figure out how to post a link to another site. Obviously I’m inept and frustrated to boot. i just wanted to share this terrific clip, but alas, no luck.

I promise I’ll get back on topic if just one person says they saw this video.

Now, I have no idea where you’re from or where you grew up, but to understand this clip, you must understand that Boston is an old East Coast urban city that loves dirty old rock and roll. The population is for the most part, a bunch of 1st or 2nd generation Irish Catholic urban hard-drinking thugs or very well educated Ivy league Intellectuals. The combination makes for a great music scene. This clip was recorded on somebody’s cell phone or something.

The J. Geils Band was very much a product of the late 60′s and 70′s. they only managed any nationwide popularity, however in the early 80′s with the terrible sell-out pop hits, “Centerfold”, “Freeze Frame” etc. This selling out caused a rift in the band that caused them to break up.

They’ve just reunited for 1 or 2 concerts and have vowed to play only their earlier good stuff. The lead singer is Peter Wolf, watch him he’s cool. The harmonica guy is Magic Dick and I’m not sure if anyone is better. Seth Justman is the keyboardist and is damn good.

This song was recorded at the House of Blues in Boston. Please watch it all before passing judgment. Just click the youtube link. Watch how the audience knows the words and adores the band.

We can then get back to some fun Anti-Palin songs. Sorry about this diversion, but I just love the Boston nightclub music scene, not to mention our sports. As Sarah would say, “Let’s have a shout out to the 2009 NCAA Hockey Champion Boston University Terriers”
