    Freddie and the Dodgers did it again. But what about Ohtani's left shoulder?

    Probably only needs one shoulder.

    Somday they may  (re)figure out that sliding head first isn’t really the best idea.

    Well, Hinds isn't best of seven. I am only in trouble if the Yankees are on the brink of sweeping the Dodgers in game 4.

    Or, of course, if the Dodgers are on the brink of the sweep of the Yankees.

    Perhaps watching Jimmie  Dale Gilmore and another guitarist under the mid summer stars on a porch in Southhampton might have been the most spectacular performance I was lucky enough to see

    Oh, interesting, as I'm seeing Jimmie Dale and another guitarist (Dave Alvin) tomorrow night...

    Incredible String Band, Pentangle, Fairport Convention, Steeleye Span, Renbourne, Jansch, Richard & Linda Thompson & Mayall w/Mark and Almond (& others at other times)

    I've definitely seen a number of them, and it reminds me: the original Little Feat, with Lowell George, at least 2 or 3 times in New York. They freakin' played the Calderone Theatre, in Hempstead!

    And the Mekons at CBs

    One of my favorite bands.  Just recently saw Jon Langford with his "current band" at the Bitter End, in June.  And with the Waco Brothers last year at TV Eye.  He has about 15 bands. Sometimes he plays in people's back yards.

    Wet Leg at Baby's All right was kinda crazy. Then, when they came back and played Brooklyn Steel, I wanted to murder people (it's a heinous place). Also saw PJ Harvey there, and really had to drink a lot.

    This sounds like when we sit or stand near a bunch of old mooks discussing all the shows they've seen.

    So...let me add...

    StonesTicket.thumb.jpeg.13787d1c0ee4f6822955b6ff10606555.jpeg

    As well as 1975 at the garden (the folding Star Stage, which was awesome)...after that, they started playing stadiums.

    Jeff Beck - like '72 or '73 at the Academy of Music. 

    Patti Smith Group - the final shows at CBGB's. I remember talking to John McEnroe at one of the shows. Oct., 2006.

    Bob Marley and the Wailers - Beacon Theatre, April, 1976 (I was given tickets by the then-head of Island Records, whom I had picked up in my cab at the Bottom Line).  And then later in 1976, at the Santa Barbara County Bowl, after I'd moved west.

    First Springsteen show at Santa Barbara County Bowl, late 1976.

    Clash - Warfield, San Franciso.  GP - Old Waldorf, San Francisco.

    Bowie - Hammerstein Ballroom.

    Sinatra - Circle Star Theatre. San Mateo. 1989. Same place I saw Pryor.

    EC and the Attractions (a few times). EC and the Imposters (a few more times). EC and Burt Bacharach (a few times). More. A lot more.

    And then there are the unexpected show-ups. Like the hot, sweaty night in July, 2010, seeing Alejandro Escovedo at the Stone Pony. And then, well after midnight, this happens...

    Now, finally- some crack reporting...

    Taylor Swift Has Already Been Twice: Is The Corner Store Worth It?

     

    Quote

    Unusual for new restaurants in 2024, there’s a dress code “of Smart Elegant attire,” it reads. “Any guest who does not appear sufficiently well-presented may be refused entry.” It appears to be somewhat arbitrary. “Please be aware that any decision regarding permitting entry to the restaurant is entirely at the management’s discretion.” Reservations are required and hard to get (unless you’re in the T-Swift entourage, apparently). A two-week view on Resy is entirely on notify.

    I love being able to say fuck you to a place before I even have any desire to go.
