We got lucky here yesterday in my corner of Jersey, numerous brownouts & flickers but we never lost power. Many others not so lucky even in my town, not to mention all those more directly in Sandy's path. Apparently the storm hung an early left at the last minute & went ashore well south of here, pushing the storm surge up the coast but sparing us inland from the worst winds & rain.
My town looks like you'd expect, some big trees down, lots of branches, crushed cars. But compared with what I'm seeing on TV, we got off easy.
What a time.

Why didn't I know about this till now? Living in too much isolation, I guess. An AmEx presale started today, all the "cheap" seats ($493 & under - I wonder where the $114 seats are located) are gone. Still some $813 tix left, surprise. There's still the public on-sale on Friday, but I don't have high hopes for this one.No, turns out I can also get a seat towards the top of the arena for $493. I don't think so.

I'd add that Midnight Oil (Capricornia) & The Church (any of their last 4 albums) put out some really strong albums past 35. Of course they aren't exactly global chart toppers, and the Oils have been disbanded for a decade, but the quality is there for their cult audiences.
Anyway, yes, the Stones still sound pretty good. Though I miss the days when a new single automatically implied a B side instead of one-and-done and we'll-use-this-to-sell-another-greatest-hits collection. Ah well, we're all lucky to still be going, whatever ages we are.

Heard on TV the other day, repeatedly during a segment: "meatatarian."

Fine names there for a psychedlic band, & then a punk band.Microwave custard explosion. My right hand is covered in vile, pus-filled excrescences.
