Ooo that's alot of goodies. Thanks for the heads up Linda:)

Everyone in the Capital District of NY cares, except me

It's Runnin' Down A Dream

Happy Bday Stevie, keep on rocking

O wow thanks. It'd be nice to hear something live from him besides the Concert of Bangladesh

I have 2. One from college and one at Yahoo

Me and my friends go bowling all the time during the fall and winter when we're off from college. Family not so much

I love Mike and Jason's sense of fashion

Happy Bday Bob, love ya and hope to see you in Syracuse. Lord knows I'm already seeing Jakob in July as well

I'm in that same boat Kneb. I have maybe one friend who likes a fraction of the music I do but they don't really get that deep into it. Everyone I know either lakes modern music on the radio or Dave Matthews which I loathe. It's hard. I sit down and listen to The Band or Bob Dylan and a friend might go, "What the hell are you listening to?" I've even had several people ask me before who is Bob Dylan Happened in college back in February. On a Thursday night I was hanging out in my dorm room, me and my roommate had the door open and I was listening to Bob Dylan. These two random girls from our floor walk in and just randomly start hanging out in our room for like 10 minutes. One of them goes to me, "What the hell is this crap your listening to?" I go, "It's Bob Dylan, Desolation Row. A great song and great music made by him." She goes, "Oh I love Bob Dylan" and continues to push me aside while browsing my iTunes in which she stumbles upon TPATH and tells me to play American Girl so she can sing it. People just don't give a damn about hearing true artistry when it comes to music. They want to be entertained and dance. Our generation has little patience and a little attention span and a song like Desolation Row by Dylan which clocks in at over 11 minutes would not be able to grab the attention of the modern generation even if it does have some of the greatest poetry embedded into it. I also though don't think music without solos is bad. I mean R.E.M is a great band but as we all know, Peter Buck barely ever plays a solo and guitar greats like Mike Campbell, George Harrison, Keith Richards kept it more subtle and not a long winded thing but something melodic and to the point. It doesn't have to be a grand scale thing like a jam band deal to be a great piece of work but when it's done right, you just know. People also don't of our generation don't go to concerts anymore for the experience to sit and enjoy music. They go to party and get tanked and just be a nuiscance. When I go see TPATH I make damn well sure I get up close and personal to enjoy the music and take in the entire experience so I can revel in the greatness that is being created within that 2 hour span. But you see people all the time just acting like asses and never really paying attention. Like during the 08 tour when I went and saw them at Darien Lake. The second they started playing YDKHIF, the two guys in front of me (of my generation) who didn't give a damn for the entire show started to because they lighted up their joints and bowls and just started saying joint over and over again. It's really a pain to be honest. I don't know a single soul besides like my dad and my friends mom who I could probably have a great discussion on music with. I can't go to someone and say, "Byrds with Roger doing lead or Clarence White?" or anything of the like. Not even contemporary music I like can I do anything to talk about with such as with bands like The Wallflowers or Belle and Sebastian or the Apples In Stereo or Wilco. It's an uphill battle. Thankfully my friend and roommate was a huge music fan and we got into huge discussions about music but they were generally one sided because well......he's a Dave Matthews/Regae/Ska music fan and I'm a rock/folk/alt country fan

I'm really partial to the lyrics to Orphan of the Storm. Just a damn good song in every aspect

O wow, they did It Takes Alot to Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry. That's really freaking cool

Yeah but it's kind of like a slap in the face seeing as they have a t-shirt that says sell your computer and buy a guitar. Them doing this isn't helping the cause

Why are they putting TPATH on Guitar Hero, why god!

Damnit now I have to go get Beatles Rock Band and this GH even though I don't like either too much

Ooo some nice pics. Benmont getting all cozy next to Gregg lol

Accadian Driftwood should be the Band song and not The Weight seeing as it's about Canadians

Not sure, more than likely though staying home though

Probably a 5. I only really complain when I'm stressed out bout my school work or something. Other than I rather keep it to myself

Happy Bday Softanimal, enjoy it

Can't wait to see how Conan runs the Tonight Show, be fun as always

That'd be a cool one to have hanging on a wall

I guess I look younger cause I'm always asked for my ID even though I'm 19

No, I need to have had one have that feeling lol

Happy Bday Tara, hope it's a good one:)
