How did they get this flag into the stadium? I was watching ESPN’s coverage of yesterday’s game and the guys couldn’t believe they got this in there, especially since security was to be tight. Unbelievable flag though.

June 13th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
No one is saying that they haven’t earned whatever sort of stereotype that goes with the fan base. However, there are people out there who appreciate the music, follow the bands live shows extensively, know a lot of history about the songs/instruments/venues played, and yet aren’t sanctimonious about it. I don’t do drugs, I don’t follow the band to every show by surviving on t-shirt sales in the parking lots, i don’t have a jaded world-view about how the music is bigger than all of us, and i don’t turn my nose up at people who don’t “get it”. I just enjoy live improvisational music.

Who do you guys consider more of the champ getting women? Leo or George?

June 13th, 2012 at 9:18 AM

I would say Leo, but like the Durant vs. Lebron post — there is no wrong answer. I would need to see all of the countless unfamous, smoking hot ladies that each of them got with to make a final decision.
June 13th, 2012 at 9:18 AM

i thought it was you, maybe it was kcres, talking about groing up in an ag area and i recommended the book. it’s by a former pulitzer winner who spent a year with a farming family. really great for behaviors/sayings, and if you grew up around farmers, a great read

Anybody else looking forward to the Dream Team special tonight?
June 13th, 2012 at 9:19 AM
I feel like Leo could get any of the girls that George gets. Moreover, George hasn’t gotten Bar yet. Wake me up when that day comes and we can have a real debate about it.

I was being sarcastic given the subject line for the link, but I actually am fascinated by maps. I used to have a world map shower curtain. It made me into a complete water waster.

that’s right, I remember. Haven’t picked it up yet, trying to finish the book I am on now, which will happen on the drive to Kansas this weekend. I’ll put it on the list, I’ve been wanting to read ‘The Match’ which someone else recommended as well.
speaking of farming, I talked with my 14 y.o. nephew last night and he got a summer job on a farm. he’s learning to milk cows today. should be interesting.
June 13th, 2012 at 9:23 AM
Moreover, George hasn’t gotten Bar yet.
The Flaming Tomato is getting Bar right now. I’m not sure what that means, but George isn’t missing out on any Grade A++++ poontang.

@senyor/squawk
you see something you don’t understand, so the inclination is to mock it. I get that. we all do it. But that’s just being lazy. and there’s really no humor in it.
Just like every other form of fanaticism there are the devotees and the people who criticize their passion. sure, the tag-a-long circus that is shakedown is comical and ripe for criticism. and there are obviously elements to the fanbase (just like every other band and every sports team ever) that provide the fodder that makes the majority of the group “look bad”.
but “smelly”? “bad music”? c’mon, you can do better than that. those are tired jabs and really just poor effort on your part. at least do a little research so that you know what you are trying to mock.

Point being that these guys are good-looking superstars with insane global exposure. Why is it so ‘lengendary’ that they can land 10 after 10 after 10?

So true on so many levels. Now he’s got a crazy semi-quasi wife and an instant family. Could have been cruising the beaches and the movie festivals with the tang that George and Leo are getting.

I read a little about this story, and from what I understand, she did receive some serious burns and that’s a shame and I feel her. My broad stroke was a comment on the litigious society we live in and how people feel that someone should be responsible when something happens to them.
Sometimes bad things to happen to good people and inversely, good things happen to bad, evil people. I just like the fact that people feel the need to sue for every thing that happens to them, especially the trivial bullshit.

Yesterday’s EA post. I joked about SEO trolling and he sent me an email. I don’t think he reads the comments much anymore or he’d understand the SEO thing is mentioned everyday and is long running meme in the comments. I think he thought I was equating this site to TMZ. I dunno. I think he read my comment before he had his first cup of coffee. No big deal. Just another day.

just recovering from a nasty steam burn on one of my thumbs. it hurt, i knew it was a burn, but couldn;t see any damage. a day later i grabbed something from the freezer and scraped the thumb on the fridge tearing the burnt dead skin. tore the loose skin off, bandaged it, and the skin that didn’t come off turned brown, like a deep tan. it’s healing nicely thank you

June 13th, 2012 at 9:39 AM
It really isn’t that legendary/commendable/respectable. Honestly, the best description would be “expected” or “par for the course”. These guys and gals, by necessity, usually commingle and date and get married and get divorced and have children and blah blah blah with people of the same stature. I think that our thinking about superstar relationships hasn’t quite caught up to our thinking about their respective crafts, in that we expect greatness out of these stars, but we seem somewhat surprised (or feign being surprised) by their sexual endeavors/achievements.

June 13th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Funny story. The lady only asked for the exact amount that would cover her medical bills. The company served their coffee so hot that it was negligent and when McDonald’s came back and said here’s a couple hundred bucks and go away, they sued (only for the medical bills money) and the jurors chose to award the lady the equivalent of 2 days worth of coffee sales from McD’s.

I had a buddy who would go to glowstick wars and buy the 100 count containers and bring like 4 or 5 to the shows we’d go to. A lot of fun was had for about 5 minutes.
June 13th, 2012 at 9:42 AM
Look at Jon Hamm — he’s been dating the same average woman since his 20′s.
That’s also probably why he’s so approachable and able to do zany shit like ’30 Rock’ and ‘SNL’ appearances.

Agreed, but he was pulling the Leo type chicks when he was 20 years younger tho
Clooney was married once. He said never again. The Italian waitress he was having fun with for a couple years mentioned something to a tabloid that she’d like to get married one day. Clooney ditched her the next week. She’s fucking Steve-0 now and Clooney is getting his pick of the Grade A++++++ litter every day.

@KC – Love some LOS. And yes, festivals are fucking awesome. Was supposed to go to Hangout this year but it just wasn’t in the cards.
Mole – no love for SCI? The definitely are a different breed of cat; what I would call a true melding of the Dead psych jam and the bluegrass scene. I don’t play them as much as I used to, but if the wife tolerates them then you have to keep a good thing going!

Hey TBL, nice interview with Jennie Finch.

Jon Hamm needs to do some comedy after Mad Men. He might be a better comedic actor than dramatic actor.
June 13th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Hey TBL, nice interview with Jennie Finch.
Does she watch LOST?
June 13th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
Interesting, I did not know that. For their actions, she should taken alot more from McD’s.
June 13th, 2012 at 9:47 AM
I’m high as shit and even I think String Cheese Incident sucks balls.
The early years were awesome. Then Billy became a severe alcoholic and allowed the band to go into dance/electronic type shit. They headlined Wakarusa five or so years ago and played two sets and I didn’t bother to watch either one. They were a little too hippie for me and their hardcore fans were always a bit annoying.
One of the funniest stickers I’ve seen is WSP’s Love Tractor running over SCI’s hoolahoop person.
June 13th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
Jon Hamm and Bryan Cranston both seem cool as shit, might have something to do with them not finding major success until relatively later in their careers…either way it was enjoyable to watch each bowl against the Nerdist podcast
June 13th, 2012 at 9:48 AM
I mean she should’ve fucking known better. Keep your mouth shut, and only open it to eat, breathe, or perform some sort of sex act with George. Do these things, lest you find yourself….dating….steve….oh…

I sent the link to TBL yesterday not really expecting it to make the cut, but lo and behold it even gets top billing.

Man, I would LOVE to have one of those! I’ve seen the same sticker with the tractor running over the Phish logo.
June 13th, 2012 at 9:54 AM
Never really gotten into Phish. I can’t say I don’t like them, I’m just indifferent. The only jam band I’ve ever really liked is Dispatch. I would have loved to hit up Bonaroo this year. The lineup was stupid good. My 19-year-old cousin went apparently. Lucky little fucker.

I lived in CO during the SCI peak years and we used to refer to it as the Happy Hippie Movement. way too much hugging, group hooting, and other shenanigans. WSP at RR >>>> SCI at RR.

@KC – Love some LOS.
I hold the distinction of what can’t be more than a couple thousand people that went to both Salmonfests on the Black River in Lesterville, Mo. Many bands on those bills that are still around today. Keller, NMAS, Mofro, Umphree’s, plus Jorma and David Grisman played. Olympic amounts of fun.
June 13th, 2012 at 9:56 AM
can’t wait to see how the ban will eventually turn into movie theatres being forced to offer a healthy food option, like baby carrots and cauliflower instead of 2 lb bags of m&m’s and tubs of butter with popcorn.
June 13th, 2012 at 9:57 AM

i say the gov’t should subsidize free higher education but charge parents $25K per kid to get a license before they give birth.
any child born w/o a license will be provided to the conscription pool for the military when they turn 18, so there will be enough troops to fight the fat people uprising when fast food is banned by supreme president michael bloomberg

So true on so many levels. Now he’s got a crazy semi-quasi wife and an instant family. Could have been cruising the beaches and the movie festivals with the tang that George and Leo are getting.

Keller may be my top “had the chance to go, just couldn’t make it” artist. I have had tickets, i have had free travel, i have had him play 5 minutes from my house, and I still have always missed the show. And his live stuff is so much better than studio material!
/really enjoy “Odd” though, thats a great car-ride album

KC, I feel like in some previous life, surely we have met. I went to Salmonfest the second year. I will admit, it was a time for sure. the last festival I ever went to I think. Ark
We camped on the river. The forest was always too crowded. Walking back from the main stage down that road with all the lights in the pitch dark with the fog is a fun memory.
And wouldn’t you know. Midwest Gospel Radio just came up on the Pandora.
June 13th, 2012 at 10:08 AM
Never really cared for Keller that much, but I do dig his song about the Deer Creek Dead debacle, mainly because I was front and center for the carnage.
June 13th, 2012 at 10:09 AM
YMSB is always in that 4-spot rotation. I agree with part of what Jay V said in that they deserve to have the career and exposure that some of these “big” bands have.
/looking at you, Umphree’s….
June 13th, 2012 at 10:09 AM
I’ll say. I mean, you need a license to FISH, for chrissakes.
crazy story from one of the best jobs i’ll ever have. worked for
a naturalist department of a park district, removing the bad trees, shrubbery, plating new, controlled burns, chainsawing, creek maintenance.
anyway, i had to get a herbicide license….studied for a test, took it and passed. but to play with fire, no license required. i mean these were forest fires and bonfires of downed limbs and cut up trees we were setting and putting out, all the fireman tools, and water backpacks, sometimes in parklands in the middle of high-end subdivisions
no license required for that, but to ssquirt chemicals on plants? oh yeah
June 13th, 2012 at 10:11 AM
/looking at you, Umphree’s….
I have tried and have never got into them.
Keller is fun, but it is all kind of the same after awhile. Keller and The Keels is worth a laugh. Keller is definitely an afternoon festival act. Save the night and late-night acts for those that get with it.

scheming to tie a work trip with my first show at deer creek since 99. and fuck the haters, if you have any interest in phish check out the worcester shows. they came back from the bad shows at MSG over new year’s with two absolute gems to start the summer. AC is gonna blow up big time.

That $25k goes toward covering birth costs, or so I hear.

I would be in favor of a 2-year mandatory military service for all young people. Barring a major medical issue, you cannot get out of it. You can elect to do it when you’re 18, 20 or 24. If a war starts during those 2 years, you have to stay on for an extra year and that’s it. Once your time is up, you are done.

“Funny story. The lady only asked for the exact amount that would cover her medical bills. The company served their coffee so hot that it was negligent and when McDonald’s came back and said here’s a couple hundred bucks and go away, they sued (only for the medical bills money) and the jurors chose to award the lady the equivalent of 2 days worth of coffee sales from McD’s”
If you’ve ever looked around when summoned for jury duty, or worse, have had the experience of serving on a jury, you quickly learn that part of why the litigation system in this country is fucked up is because of the people that have the power – the jurors. These people aren’t my “peers” for the most part, yet they’d be the ones to hold my freedom or my finances in their hand.
Now, I’m not sure there’s a better system available (so far I’m not aware of any better system in the history of mankind), but lawyers are just playing to that system. Selling 12 dopes too stupid to figure out how to get out of jury duty on some legal theory is their job.
