  1. I don't know whether it is or not, honestly...I've been having cold-like symptoms this weekend, and I was checking my temperature and it came out at 97.1 or something like that...and over the past 6 hours its dropped to the 95 area...I don't feel cold, except my hands and feet are freezing...I have to rub them a lot. Typing helps, so that's why I'm writing extra long messages tonight. lol I hate to rant about things like this here....


  2. Okay. I thought I better write this review now before I forget. All around, the show was great, even though it was a little stifled and not as laid-back as I would've hoped. I'm not sure how I could go about writing this, but I'll try my best.

    When I first got to Nashville my first stop was the Great Escape, where I bought a Fiction Family LP and a Mudcrutch LP (which I had been looking for for a really long time and I'm listening to it now. Fucking awesome, man.). Then I went to go hang out on Lower Broad...went to places like Gruhn's Guitars (where I fell in love with a Gibson Dove 1994 100th Anniversary Model....Lawd.), Lawrence Record Shop, and the little T-shirt shops...Oh, and I went to Hatch Show Prints and they hooked me up with a Watkins Family Poster. Oh yes. Anyway by this time it was time to go to the concert...so we walked over to 7th Avenue and they let us in, we stood in the foyer for awhile, and eventually we went upstairs to the stage. Really nice seating...small and intimate. We recorded some staged applause, and then they brought out the "Rising Star" Jessica Rae. She had some really interesting songs, but, like with all opening acts, I was so excited to see the headliners that I didn't enjoy it as much as I should have. Then, they brought the artists on...Glen came out first, and Sean came with him. (Amusing thing, they apparently came out wrong the first time, and they had to go back and redo it. No one knew who Sean was, either.) Next out was Roger McGuinn, then came Guy Clark. Glen was the first person to play a song, and it was, I believe, All I Want, a Toad the Wet Sprocket song. Then, Guy Clark played L.A. Freeway I believe...and then Roger played The Trees are All Gone. The rest of the show had the same vibe to it...I'm not sure this is the right setlist, but here it is regardless:

    Glen: All I Want

    Always Have My Love (WPA Song with Sean on backing vocals)

    Rise Up (had to be done twice) (Sean on Backing vocals

    Fall Down

    Guy: L.A.

    Freeway

    Desperadoes Waiting for a Train

    Boats to Build (had to be done twice due to lyrics mix-up.

    That was funny, actually)

    Out In the Parkin' Lot

    Roger: The Trees Are All Gone

    So You Wanna Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star

    May the Road Rise

    Eight Miles High

    Some other neat little things that happened:

    * The person who taught the crowd how to act mispronounced Roger McGuinn's name as "Robert.

    "

    * Guy asked Roger about his seven stringed guitar, and then Roger told a short story and explanation about it...they didn't have the cameras on at that particular time and had to ask them to redo it all...

    * I had to sit in the only row with folding chairs in the whole theater. That was probably the most annoying part.

    lol

    I did get to sneak a few photos at the very end, here are my best shots:

    p-e4m3Yko6bFYVc.gif?labels=NewsAndReference,CultureAndSociety KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Other than having a bit of a headache, a Kansas City woman is uninjured after a bullet fired at her ended up tangled in her hair weave.

    Police said the 20-year-old woman was in a convenience store parking lot late Wednesday when a man flagged her down and told her that her ex-boyfriend still loved her. She replied, "Well I dont love him," then heard gunshots.

    She said she looked behind the vehicle and saw her ex-boyfriend firing a handgun at her. She stomped her accelerator and fled, then turned into another parking lot and called police. She told officers she recently had ended an eight-month relationship with the suspect.

    Police arrested the ex-boyfriend and his friend in a car.
