I can't imagine how anybody can live without health insurance. OTOH, if I were on Stipe's payroll...

And that is why we need UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!  Anyone who argues against it is a domestic terrorist

It's already 9K over the 75K goal. How far over goal are people allowed to go?

Slim's stroke is why Paul and Tommy got back together briefly for the Filthy Lucre Tour

yeah, Scott is very cool and very nice, and his memory is amazing.... I was chatting with him after a show (can't recall if it was a Hitchcock Venus 3 or Baseball Project show) and I was telling him that I was just listening to Soft Boys audience recording where he cracked a joke, saying "what do you think about the pairing of the Soft Boys and the Young Fresh Fellows? gayest tour ever?"... he says, "oh yeah, Irving Plaza 2001".... dude remembers random between song chatter from a specific show when he's probably played thousands....
