  1. For fuck's sake, it came right out of his mouth. He literally threatened use of the National Guard and "if necessary" the military.
  2. Not sure. I did go to the show that night, it was great as expected, but I can't remember if they recorded it or not.
  3. A good buddy of mine weaseled his way into their sound check at Liberty Lunch maybe a couple of years later, and called me with the heads up to get my ass down there. The band stumbled on stage a few minutes after I got there, it was early afternoon, Pirner was hammered and only wearing one shoe. Great sound check, though.
  4. Chicken McNuggets don't have bones (as far as you know).
  5. PSA: if you don't have the Ed Stasium remix, get it.
  6. Yeah, my first exposure to the band was in 1988 at CBGB on the "Hang Time" tour. Kinda set a high bar that can't be topped. They did this MTV show the same day, and I'm pretty sure Pirner was already drunk:
  7. I'm not exactly in a minority of any type, but I would think it's one thing to quote someone and another thing to just use the slang yourself.
  8. Soul Asylum was pretty solid last night at Mohawk. Juliana Hatfield opened, and pretty much just played her 1992-93 era songs. Her mix was unbalanced and quiet, really unfortunate. SA got the whole PA, it wasn't the best I've seen them but it may be the best lineup in terms of instrumental skill. Almost nothing pre-hit, was not ideal, but I get it. Dave Pirner should not tell "jokes". I'm curious to hear what @Jerry Callo thought.
  9. So, what's the betting line on that? Might be an early Christmas.
  10. No, it's not beside the point I responded to. The assertion was made with confidence that someone would mow down voters:
  11. Tell me where to get it and I'm in. (Not rolling my own.)
  12. I just think the odds are miniscule. Zero? No. I'll donate another $500 to Mobile Loaves & Fishes if it happens, though.
  13. I haven't been to any of the gameday shows (Longhorn City Limits) -- are they right at the LBJ Fountain?
  14. So what would you recommend a husband who actually has nothing to do with his wife's disappearnce do? "Oh well, I can't report it, they might think I'm guilty."
  15. I was the "fry guy" my first year at Wendy's. You gotta wait 20-30 sec but damn they were delicious just out of the fryer. Editorial comment: Wendy's "new and improved" fries suck ass.
  16. It's amazing how roughly 2/3 of American voters support Roe V Wade yet "Americans overwhelmingly wanted it returned to the states to decide".
  17. My wife and daughter went last night. Apparently Willie started out a little weak but definitely hit his stride by mid-set. Weather was gorgeous.
