Yeah, they are really good. My favs include Z, Okonokos ( live album ), and just
this morning I listened to the Yim Yames Tribute to George Harrison LP. Great stuff.
Their brand new album is very good as well.

Okonokos was what moved them way up there. That's one of my favorite live CDs.

I thought my friends and I were the only people that liked them. Always wondered why they didn't make it bigger since their music was so radio-friendly.

Remember going to see them at a Thanksgiving morning concert at the Hard Rock Cafe ?1993. I passed out and missed the show.

Jim was a man out of time. He had a way with a pop hook in a time when pop hooks weren't particularly admired. He was part of the group of guys I hung out with and played with mainly because he booked the shows at Batteries Not Included. I think most of us considered him careerist. He posted an ad in the Illinois Entertainer looking for band members and one of the criteria was that they be blonde. That was something to mock at the time. Just the fact that you looked at the Entertainer would have made you an outcast in certain circles.

I found him to be a funny guy, but also pretty prickly. I wouldn't call him a friend, but we definitely knocked back a few on occasion. After looking in the sink at my friend Bill's apartment and seeing it stacked with dirty dishes and all kinds of nasty crap, Jim said, "Man, that's a bad Sponge!" That became the name of the first LP Bill recorded, Born Under A Bad Sponge.

Ellison had a kind of Tom Petty look to him and he sang in that nasally voice. I remember once he was playing a solo set at Avalon and a bunch of us rolled in there all fucked up and started yelling, "TOM PETTY!" just to agitate him. He didn't miss a beat and whipped out a killer version of "American Girl". I thought he was pretty cool that night.

You ever see the Dead live Farvio?


I've seen the Dead w/ Carlos Santana, and The Other Ones. I never saw Jerry.


I saw them live at Alpine twice. The last time I saw them was the last year they toured I believe. Each time, I won tickets from a Milwaukee radio station.

Their fans are just the nicest dang people you ever will meet. Also pretty much the weirdest, but in a good way. :?

Good times at the Dead concerts. That last concert I was with, chick had some of those glowsticks, and proceeded to break one. It ended up all over me. My clothes, and skin and everything was glowing. Tripped out Deadheads were acting like I was the Messiah and were reaching for me and touching me like they were in that Zombies movie. It was creepy. So much so, that I had to quickly go down to my reserved seats or get attacked by the night of the living deadheads.

But it was awesome.


The last time the Grateful Dead played Alpine was '89.

Mellencamp was once a favorite, now I absolutely cant stand even the songs I used to like.


Word on the Clinton love.

I always liked some of Mellencamp's songs, until I saw him at FarmAid. He just danced around the stage, while smoking cigarettes. He barely even picked up his guitar.
