I said JFJ Jr, not his dad.
I don't think the National Enquirer has featured a cover shot of Millard Fillmore in his bathing suit like they have Jr. and Clinton. At least not the National Enquirers on display in Springfield.

How about Millard Fillmore? Was he a hairy mofo?

I seem to remember JFK Jr having a hairy chest. Can't say I saw any of the other Kennedy's, or Johnny Cash, shirtless.

What about your idol, Johnny Cash? How low was his testosterone.
Rhett, sometimes you remind me of my brother…the one the hogs ate.

Not the Mini mate! Does the MRS have a car you can borrow to drive off a cliff?

good thing there are so many concert promotion experts on this board… could it just possible be that Mark Mothersbaugh got some unexpected film scoring work and needed to cut the tour short? one of the Anihiem shows was sold out and tickets were 62.50 for that one.

One of four So Cal shows, plus a $10.50 convenience charge and it still sold out! I'm told the Friday night show is not far behind either. I'm trying to catch them in Hollywood on Saturday night.

Because nobody here likes Ani DiFranco, or will admit to it.
Plus, she doesn't have any local shows scheduled that would possibly be affected by her cancellation dates (she is cancelling all dates after August 1, if I remember correctly).

i like a couple of her songs ('gravel' is really great songwriting), but when she starts singing about taking her tampon out in the ocean, i get a bit alienated

I have one album which is listenable (Not a Pretty Girl) but don't care for a vast majority of everything else I've heard.
She did play Wolftrap last night I think. Obviously, her fans don't hang out on the 9:30 chatboard.
I do remember her touring as a teenager and playing at the church basement down the street from me when I was in grad school in the late 80's. Maybe she was too young to play the clubs.

Looking at the page now, under their calendar, it just has a link for Buy Now.

What is the story with the Devo gigs - are they still on? The 9:30 homepage still lists them in the schedule/it says nothing about them being canceled.
Cheers

"Astronomically, it begins with the autumnal equinox (around 23 September in the Northern hemisphere, and 21 March in the southern hemisphere), and ends with the winter solstice (around 21 December in the Northern hemisphere and 21 June in the Southern hemisphere).
However, meteorologists count the entire months of March, April and May in the Southern hemisphere, and September, October and November in the Northern hemisphere as autumn."
