My button 48 moment: I went to see Bryan Adams and the Outfield at Poplar Creek in '87. I did it to make time with a girl, but the only good memories I retain from that evening are The Outfield didn't suck live, and Bryan Adams closed with "Summer Of '69"

I think Purina sponsored that show with all the dog chow handed out.

You crazy The Outfield AND Bryan Adams are both great.

I saw Peter Frampton in the 1990's.... waaaaay after he was cool (if he ever was). The "talking" guitar thing couldn't even save him.

I want yooooou to show me the way.... to the door out of this concert

That's just between me and my IPOD now, Dolphin.

Slash's Snake Pit opened for AC/DC, and I believe my ears are still bleeding from that poor excuse for music.
It's a good thing that AC/DC was awesome -- like there was any doubt in that taking place.

Mac needs to incorporate some tunes into the June 9th outing.
I'm pretty sure PI theory is available.

We'd play!

"Alone" is such a cool tune, Ed. If I got to pick a song to hear them play live, that might very well be it.

The thought that others would mock Thorogood saddens me.

However, I will mock you on the others that you've listed, even the ones I've heard of. Consider yourself mocked.

A free beer to anyone that finds me at the House of Blues Thorogood concert in August.

Do you like Badfinger so much you wish to be mocked twice?

Go get Meatpants' tribute band... Then he can come over and share baseball acumen!

I like several bands a high percentage of the world would say are garbage: Submitted for your mockage: Nazareth, Alice Cooper, Sweet, Badfinger, Tonio K, The B-52s, Trio, Budgie, George Thorogood, Badfinger. How's that for dog food? It's my dog food. And I don't ask you, Guyt, or anybody else, to share my bowl of Alpo.


I like all those bands you mentioned except that I don't really care for Alice Cooper's music (awesome stage show though). I also like the ultimate in dogfood: The Little River Band, Supertramp, & Bread....begin the stone throwing.

Supertramp's "Crime Of The Century" album, produced in '74, is among my top 25 albums of all time. Very gifted band.... then came the need for commerical success with "Breakfast In America" in '79. Yuk.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT MUSIC IF YOU THINK THESE BANDS SUCK, FUCK OFF

Would love to meet vedder, though I dont agree with his politics and he sounds like a high schooler when he talks.

Segar/Seger. All I can think of for him is the like a rock song and how annoyed i get everytime i hear it.

Any opinion on the Jewish Elvis... NEIL DIAMOND?

It's my guilty pleasure. Never saw in concert. I only listen with the radio turned low under the covers deep in the recesses of a cold dark basement.

I was at the 1992 Lollapalooza in Cleveland (WEEERE HAPPY FOR YOU)... Eddie and Chris Cornell were sliding on the hill at the outdoor venue (imagine Ravinia with a huge hill behind it) that had turned to mud in the rain. They were like little kids... in a good way. Never actually talked to Eddie, but he was out there with a group of us just having fun. It was a pleasant surprise to see him with a huge smile on his face instead of his usual brooding look. I found this Lollapalooza retrospective on the event... made me feel old thinking this was 16 years ago



Let it flow like a mudslide
July 29, 1992: Cleveland, OH - aka "Mud Bowl"
A summer tour of outdoor venues is likely to have a few raidy days. The July 29 show in Cleveland, OH, became known as "The Mud Bowl".

"Vedder (is) throwing his head back, his stringy brown hair blown backward by the wet summer breeze" says Gina Arnold in LA Weekly "while directly in front of him a vast green hillside on the banks of the Cuyahoga River in Ohio is fast turning to mud.

Sheets of rain, sweeping across the seated portion of the arena like a transparent gauze curtain, drench a crowd of 20,000. Vedder smiles beatifically, stretching his arms outward, and as he does so the audience moves closer, thrusting itself hard toward the band.

Faces shine in jubilee. Bodies surf upon the crowd's crest. Boys leap upward toward Vedder, stammering out welcoming phrases at the top of their lungs, unheard above the music and the wind.

Vedder waits; he ranges around the stage in circles, heaving and singing, his voice booming through the weather, the crowd bearing down the hillside, closer and closer, completely rapt. And then he does it. Climbing the side of the speaker stacks, he leaps down into the crowd's arms, a 15-foot drop in slo-mo, his body twisting all the way."[2]

Jim Rose also remembers that dirty day. "The rain slapped against faces, and slammed against rickety booths that quickly toppled. It lashed out at the second stage, peeling off the roof and knocking the structure to splinters, sending us scurrying toward the bus. As quickly as it hit, it departed; and hour later electricity was stored to the main stage, and then insanity broke loose.

"Because Pearl Jam came on, sucking people toward the stage like a vacuum. By this point in the tour they were huge. Relieved that the show would continue, the fans went nuts, moshing and dancing and transforming the field into one giant mud pit. Games of mud broke out spontaneously: they were eating it, throwing it, wrestling in it, making slides that people waited in line for.

Backstage had taken a whipping; it was muddy as everywhere else. Instead of avoiding it, Eddie and Chris (Cornell) dove in and took mud baths. If you consider yourself a regular person, there is a downside to fame: every time you walk out in public, you're mobbed. Eddie and Chris had been complaining about it for some time. And with the downpour they saw the opportunity for true anonymity.

"Freshly dipped in nature's disguise, they ran out to the field and mingled with the general public, who had no clue they were mud-mucking with their idols. (Eddie and Chris) stood in line at the mud slides, played all the games, tossing mudballs and wrestling. Mud proved to be liberating and the great equalizer."

Sirius Radio Channel 3 has temporarily turned into the Neil Diamond Channel to promote his new album.

All Neil 24/7. You'll get one spin of him and Babs singing You Don't Bring Me Flowers per hour, guaranteed.

I think Eddie gets a bit of a bad rap. I don't know the man and I met him for 30 seconds but he was very friendly to everyone and to take the time from his tour and spend two days with Cheli and his guests and perform twice for everyone says not only a lot about Eddie but what a good friend Cheli must be for one of the most popular front man in Rock to come out and do that. I gained a ton of respect for Eddie to come out and do that for a friend.I think the last thing I would want to do during a tour is come out on the hottest day of the year and do two 1 hour sets for a bunch of schmucks.

Eddie has come off as a tool on many occisions but I think many front men in rock have that persona.I love his music and give him a pass on many of his views even though I don't agree with many of them nor do I care. I just love that P.J. makes great music. The same can be said for Bono whom I'm a big fan of as well.

EV does not like the media or giving interviews, plain and simple. I know that should come with the territory for rock and/or rollers, but its just not his thing. He is always very cordial with fans however.
