That's actually an interesting idea. Ireland is too close to "return to college" time around here, but Wembley?

Is that with DesBarres?

Is there another kind? EDIT: Is that what Abe recommended?

In this particular area I'm a "bird of the protected species variety" person.

Probably, but the Terriers are the worst offenders.

Hockey East finals.

Sorry to interrupt, but after 1, the good guys lead the Godless Heathens of Commonwealth Ave 2-0.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, as they say. For about 10 years, the majority of guitar players in emerging rock bands were Edward Van Halen clones. I don't personally find Angelina Jolie attractive, but most people REALLY do. At some point in cases like this, you have to recognize that something or someone may not be your cup of tea, but that your view is an outlier. Van Halen may not do it for you, but there's probably a good reason he's at or near the top of most people's list as the greatest rock guitarist ever. Because he was.

I've come back to this thread a few times, and I still can't decide. Band is relatively easy (Aerosmith, although I saw the Chili Peppers at Fenway and absolutely loved them). Californication is a flawless album, and Pump is Aerosmith's last gasp of greatness. I don't know.

This week, the host of a podcast I like commented that he thinks everything by Neil Young is great. I was familiar with him, of course, but he never really worked for me. But the observation motivated me to work my way through 'ole Neil's Apple Music Essentials. Loved it.

Jackie! I'm sorry I missed this. But I did get you a present :

For fun, my wife and I took in the UConn Huskies vs. the Godless Heathens of Commonwealth Avenue last night. If your team gets the first pick this year, you're going to like Macklin Celebrini. He's unbelievable.

Over the last few days: AC/DC - Black Ice AC/DC - Highway to Hell AC/DC - Stiff Upper Lip AC/DC - The Razor's Edge AC/DC - Flick of the Switch If I squeeze in Live, Ballbreaker and If You Want Blood I think I've revisited the entire catalog over the last week or so.

I asked my wife about the front zipper. She showed me the dress on a website. It zips in back.

According to my wife, DA Willis' dress was on backwards.

It's been all AC/DC, all the time, the last couple of days: AC/DC - Backtracks AC/DC - Power Up AC/DC - Rock or Bust AC/DC - Powerage AC/DC - Fly on the Wall AC/DC - Blow Up Your Video AC/DC - Let There Be Rock AC/DC - Black Ice

Schilling is in the discussion for greatest post season pitcher of all time.

In.

When I saw "Are You Ready," on their Twitter page, I thought for sure there would be a U.S. tour this summer. No such luck. I hope Rock or Bust wasn't my last time seeing them.

AC/DC - Back in Black AC/DC - For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)

Yes. I texted my son before the last drive, "Is there any question the Chiefs score a TD here?"

No. I don't see.

The Jack (Live) - AC/DC. Angus, Malcolm, Bon and a good cuppa Joe. That's what I'm talking 'bout, Jackie.
