I'm friends with Hansen and his wife. Great people.

That's a problem that will never ever be fixed despite who much we hate it. So you have to play the game as it's laid out, not how you wish it were.

The show was really great. They just released some new material and the studio versions are great but on the mellower side and i was worried how that would translate live. They nailed it. I don't recall being that excited about hearing new music at a show. It takes me a bit to get acclimated. The new songs plus a couple of covers like Keep on Growing, and the staples like Midnight in Harlem. Great mix to stay fresh. Never the same show twice. That's how it should be. I saw the original setlist after the show and was glad they changed the encore to Space Captain. Afterwards we walked by the lot where the buses and trailers were. We stood around with a few others and Derek and Susan came over to chat and sign autograhs. They were beyond cool. I didn't get any autographs but talked to Susan about the Chicago shows and Derek about Bourbon. They easily could have ignored us as the gates/fences were covered with a tarp but one area had a gap we could see through. But they walked over. I saw feedback online about the Pine Knob show and it sounds like it was awesome. Bob Weir seemed excited about it. I would have been there if not for this.

When Side A is under oath and Side B is not under oath I'll always defer to Side A. That's common sense.

Mellencamp got on him for "selling out". Seger was on Later with Bob Costas and was asked about it... he said "they came to me and said they needed help and the auto industry for me is like farming is to John so he does Farm Aid and I let them use Like a Rock". Sure he got paid but he's also not wrong. It's just a song. It's not picasso.

He's had them fixed. The reason I say that is b/c at game 1 of the 2006 WS Bob did the anthem. My friend says "Man, you could butter your toast with those choppers"

former co worker of mine has a connection to him. She got invited to his wedding anniversary party. Based on her description of his house... he's doing very ok. The finances of music interests me. Like how do they track all of it? I know Henley is super stingy. Rick Beato always talks about "blockers" on his music videos even though all he's doing is commenting. There's a clip from Letterman on YouTube where he wanted to play an Eagles song but his producer was fighting him over the cost. You could see some panic I listened to a pod a few years ago and they mentioned the struggles getting clearance for some rap songs for movies because of sampling. Every single owner has to sign off and in some cases they'd sample some 70's funk band with 13 guys in it and you'd have to track down a sax player who's been out of the business. It's why some TV shows have never made it to streaming. THe movie Pump Up the Volume is now on HBO Max but for a long time it wasn't anywhere. They didn't get clearance for the music.

Results oriented decisions instead of going where the theory takes you. The complete opposite of what it should be.

Personally I believe our minds and brains are configured to understand things here on Earth. There's a limit. I'm a space buff. I've read a lot of books on the subject of exploration and it seems incredibly wasteful for the Christian notion of a God to just focus on Earth given the billions of other galaxies out there. I also never got past the idea that someone who grew up in say, a Mayan civilization, was doomed to eternal damnation.... or a contemporary of us born in the jungles of South America or some tribe of Africa or a desert in the Middle East is doomed because they didn't have the good fortune to be exposed to Christianity. It'll make sense to us at some point. I do believe in a diety. What we have today is too great to just be an accident. But it's beyond our scope of the human brain to undestand. That's ok.

The thing with the SS is cute in that it's dramatic but the biggest story is the arms. Trump knew they had guns. He wanted it so that there would be more of them. He demanded that. He wanted to be with them. He knew they wouldn't hurt him and said so. He didn't care if they hurt others. He said Mike Pence deserved to be hung.

Fox talking about Maxwell and Epstein and Hillary.

I meant "right now" to mean in this general timeframe of when it the show came out. Not all time. although owning the rights to a top song can set you up for life as if you won the lottery. I remember being shocked once when I saw a house that Barbara Mandrell owned. If you owned your songs and got good radio airplay in the 60s-80s you were set. Bob Seger said not giving himself a credit on Old Time Rock and Roll, which was a throw away song on the album it was released on cost him probably $20M. He didn't even use the Silver Bullet Band on it. USed the guys at Muscle Shoals. He did change the song somewhat but didn't think it was a big deal because the song wasn't important. It was filler. Then Risky Business.

Cassidy is 26 years old? Talk about courage. More so than anyone else I've seen in that White House.

He'll just simply talk about something else. He will make fun of pop stars swearing about Roe.

https://qz.com/2182571/how-much-is-kate-bush-making-from-running-up-that-hill/ Luminate’s Jonas estimates that Bush has made $2.3 million in streaming royalties between May 27, when the fourth season of Stranger Things debuted, and June 23. According to estimates, Bush made $1 million just from streaming between June 16 and 23. Unlike many artists, Kate Bush owns the entire recording copyright to the original recordings of her music. She owns these masters through an independent record label of her own called Noble & Brite. Only the distribution for “Running Up That Hill” is done by a third party, Warner Music Group, leading the website Music Business Worldwide to estimate she’s bringing in more than 80% of her music revenues and calling her the “world’s biggest independent artist right now.” Bush will also make money on physical and digital sales of her music. And because she’s the only songwriter listed on the single, she’ll receive all of the radio airplay revenue, too—plus whatever money Netflix paid her for song rights in Stranger Things.

ketchup All you need to know.

I can't wait to hear the GOP tell us why he's not qualified

Oops... Someone screwed up.

I literally just went to wikipedia to refresh myself on a lot of things I had forgotten. Remember that "She persisted" came from his nomination. Warren wanted to read some things on the Senate and Cocaine Mitch stopped her, led to a formal rebuke. In his statement he said "neverthless she persisted". A male senator later read the very same thing.

have no idea if this is an accurate figure but I read that she's kept all of her songwriting and publishing rights and is making $1M a week now.

and he's not the first one to say that. I had a family member say it yesterday when they were over. I said the very same thing you did. They looked at me like I was speaking Portuguese. In their head they're thinking "But Hannity said...." The cheap slogans they hear over and over again are so ingrained in their head that they lose logic.

Every democrat running for Governor in any state should commit to that.

So bummed they are here on Wednesday the same night as TTB. That’s going to eat into the ticket sales for sure.

When I saw TTB in Chicago Susan had a leg injury and had to sit on a stool. So after finishing up she says "Ok, I'm not getting up off this stool so we'll just go right into the encore now"

our local city council meetings that I've attended open in a prayer and it's a diverse set of officials giving the prayer. I believe it's a rotation.
