    Burgers

    I think Frank was a block north of there?
  2. I fully understand this. Call them out on it. Make them say it out loud. Some will, no doubt, but at least expose the bigotry for what it is.
  3. Let me list a few of the dark-skinned Americans along with other non-citizens who have performed at the Super Bowl halftime show: Ella Fitzgerald, Chubby Checker, Irma Thomas, Gloria Estefan, Michael Jackson, Patti LaBelle, Teddy Pendergrass, Arturo Sandoval, Diana Ross, James Brown, Boyz II Men, Smokey Robinson, Martha Reeves, The Temptations, Queen Latifah, Stevie Wonder, Savion Glover, Enrique Iglesias, Toni Braxton, Edward James Olmos, U2, Janet Jackson, P Diddy, Nelly, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Prince, Usher, Nicki Minaj, M.I.A., Cee Lo Green, Destiny's Child, Lenny Kravitz, Missy Elliot, Beyonce', Bruno Mars, Travis Scott, and Big Boi. Suddenly Bad Bunny is a problem?
  4. If such a responsiblity exists, wouldn't it be to find the price point that maximizes profit?

    Burgers

    There was one near the Arboretum, too. Decent fries, I don't remember anything else being remarkable. The owner was apparently the same guy who owned Mezzaluna, Bitter End and now Grove Wine Bar(s).
  6. Sounds like surly.
  7. This might be the worst "live" video I've seen since the famous cover of "Final Countdown". Holy smokes, this is bad.
  8. National media seems to see that it's less an Arch issue than it is an OL and scheme issue, but Texas fans you do you. (No, this in no way implies Arch has no culpability here.)

    Rush

    This tour is going to sell out in a microsecond. My wife already begged off, I'm polling some other family and friends, but fuck it I'll go by myself.
  10. F'n A surly.

    2025 ACL

    That jam at the end . . . every time I watch it I'm like WHAT THE FUCK? Staggering musicianship, tight as hell, huge groove, just spectacular.

    2025 ACL

    Here you go:
  13. Yeah, that bothered me too. Beyond that, he's just a superior writer. He was agonizing over tense and other composition details and she couldn't be bothered to care. The guy has a degree in English, he's not unaware.
  14. I never understood why Ray LaMontagne would write a song called "Jolene". I'm a huge Ray fan, but man, that's like writing a song called "Hey Jude".

    2025 ACL

    I feel bad that I wrote this guy off early on. His cover of "War Pigs" blew my mind -- terrific band and he totally brought it. Live and learn, I guess.
  16. Sark specifically said they were trying to stress UF deep. We just didn't make the throws most of the time. Wingo's pass would have made a huge difference, that was an easy TD. I liked the strategy, but the execution lacked, and the OL had a lot to do with that.
  17. She's always come across as a nut to me. I'm sure Jason is no easy partner, but she's out there.

    Honestly, I've bailed on more headliners than I can count. Kanye/Coldplay come to mind -- both sucked, I just went home. The Cure was another, but that was because of rain. The crowds are so insane for the headliners that I just don't have the gumption to fight my way close enough to matter. I remember watching the Foos recently and thinking "what the fuck am I doing here, I've seen them a half dozen times from 3X as close as this?".

    The problem with that approach for me is that some of the best performances I've seen often come early in the day. James Bay (2014) is an example. True Believers (2013) is another.
  20. So if the staff sees it that way we're back to Stroh? Lovely.
  21. So for those who know more than me about OL play (which is every one of you) -- how would you grade Stroh vs Brooks on Saturday? I assume Stroh is a uniform "F".

    Rush

    Beyond that, they will now be a quartet with a dedicated keyboard player. I stopped listening to Rush after they peaked (my opinion) with Moving Pictures. The next album really turned me off, and random songs I'd hear down the road didn't change my point of view. NOW I'm pumped. It would also be interesting to hear some new stuff, although lyrics could be a problem. First things first -- this short 7-city tour.
