You gotta love this fuckin' guy . . . .

Well they all do look alike anyway . . . .

Director.....I never had an opinion either way on Jimmy Buffet until I moved down here, now I'm just shit sick of him. Go in any bar with a local band and all you will hear is Buffet and Grateful Dead covers, with the odd Neil Young and America thrown in for good measure. Luckily we don't get enough Young covers for me to get sick of his stuff because I confess to being a Neil Young fan.

In your neck of the woods, he is king.  I forgot that.  Not particularly my cup tea is Mr. Buffett.  I'm a diverse cat, but lines gotta be drawn somewhere.  I will confess this however.  I had the experience of being one of a handful of black folk in a room at Bar Crawl back in ninety-something (DUH! It was my first time, I was young, etc.) and I witnessed a crowded room of a couple hundred drunks in Rumors sing "Cheesburger In Paradise".  AND.  THEY.  KNEW.  ALL.  THE.  WORDS.  That was one of the most unsettling things I ever witnessed in my life.  NOW I find it slightly funny.  At the time I was only 20/21, and it was some scary shit.  
 
 As far as Mr. Young, he is a genius & should be revered as so.  Keep on rockin' in the free world, Mankie, keep on rockin in the free world . . . .

That place can sink into the Atlantic along with Delaware and most of Jersey.  What a cesspool.

I am proud/relieved to say I have never been back since.  Everyone makes mistakes.

For some reason, when I read your comment about your Buffet experience, the scene in Blazing Saddles were the black deputy comes out from behind the rock and shout's "Were all the white women at?" came to mind.    
 
 BTW, if you're a Neil Young fan, the cd at Starbucks, Live at Massey Hall, is a must. The Bob Marley one was a bit disapointing though in my opinion.

Wow, you must love long commutes!

You just made me spit water on my computer screen.    
 
 I have a live CRYSTAL CLEAR copy of one Bob Marley's last concerts ever live @ Rockpalast from 1980 if you're looking for a killer Bob show.  I'm a peep that Neil Young show . . . Kinda like money, there's no suck thing as too much good music.

 Actually, it's not so bad on the VRE.  Waking up is a pain for the first five minutes, but the train ride is a piece of cake.  Read a book in the morning, watch DVD's in the evening (Season 2 of LOST at the moment).

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I'll be taking the VRE starting in July (been taking Metro because it's more convenient for my wife, but VRE will actually cut way down on my commute time). But from Springfield, I'll be on a different line and have a shorter ride than you. I do read on the train, but I still don't envy your hour and a half train ride.

 Springfield is the same line as Fredericksburg and you are lucky because its only three stops away from L'Enfant, which is where I get off.  I should clarify, I said Fredericksburg, but I take the Leeland Road stop in Fredericksburg which at least isn't the last stop and probably saves me another ten minutes of commuting.  I think you'll like the VRE much more than Metro, alot more comfortable and they have quiet car sections so you dont have to hear other fools conversations.  Usually you have two knuckleheads on the other cars talking while everyone else is trying to relax.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

I should clarify, I live in Springfield, but I live closer to both of the two Springfield stops (Rolling and Backlick Roads) on the Manassas line, as opposed to the Fredericksburg line Springfield stop (which is adjacent to the Metro stop).
 
 Yes, I did take VRE some when we first moved to the burbs, and liked it a lot more. It's pricier though if you can't commit to a monthly pass. I'll probably still take Metro in months where I take vacation time.
