By my calculations, if the Wizards are able to keep improving at the rate they’ve been improving since November, by the end of the season they’d whup the 1927 Yankees. It’s the damndest thing. Read more
I think eventually we all lose interest in ourselves. Makes life easier. It’ll come, YH. Read more
No. Patrick left out the part about being 19 in 7th grade.

It’s like Sept. 12 here in D.C. all over again, every day. Really. Everybody knows something bad happened and shit will never be the same or as good as it was, but doesn’t know anything else. Read more
You still can’t buy carryout booze in Lubbock? Damn. I cannot believe that’s not changed. The hypocrisy of that place—you could get 3-1 happy hour beers for $1 at a bar every few feet in the 1980s but couldn’t buy a case of beer unless you drove to the city line just so the righteous clowns could claim their town was… Read more

As part of the 1983 or 1984 peach bowl (uva vs Purdue) I saw R.E.M. At the Atlanta convention center on New Year’s Eve. The band was stunningly great at the time and fucked up as I was I rememberwith great clarity being in total awe. I’ve since turned on them like an overbred Doberman. But if it wasn’t for the peach… Read more

Easy on “Stairway” now! I saw Led Zeppelin as a young dirtball, and there was a real long acoustic set where John Paul Jones played mandolin, on “Going to California” and “Battle of Evermore,” among others. He had a triple necked mando! I shit you not! Those tunes might be my first exposure to the mandolin, now that I… Read more
No, that wasn’t what I had my eyes on, though that’s about the range I’m looking for and have read good things. The one that disappeared on me was an old Aria in Springfield, I believe. The old, upper tiered Japanese models get good notices. Ad’s gone. My cousin came by with a 100 year old Gibson mandolin two weeks… Read more
You know, I’m not into either. I saw Chris Thile a lot when he first came up, and while he’s surely a genius, every solo was a stupid human trick. Always more amazing than he was musical. And he was amazing! Nobody really plays that way! Kind of like I felt about the late Danny Gatton on guitar (go look up some… Read more
