Imran Khan's Speech at Hyderabad was an excellent listen you're right, King Willem-Alexander's throne speech yesterday however was not excellent in any way, it was actually somewhat boring.
Your worldly politics surprise me though, I thought you were more insular than that. Bravo!

Interesting tack. A "I see your 'puerile stupidity' and raise you 'inane idiocy' and 'bigoted blundering'" ploy.
All I can say is, you sir have more chips in your stack than I. I know when I'm beat and I fold. I can't top 'inane idiocy' let alone 'bigoted blundering'.

Tom Petty - Wildflowers
I like it. I missed this album when it was released. No doubt partly because I was more into the lo-fi sounds of Pavement, Sebadoh and Guided by Voices at the time, but also because Petty lost me during his period with that wankstain Jeff Lynne and his heavy handed production on the two previous albums.

Greetings fellow travellers! I've thoroughly enjoyed perusing the musical recommendations that each of you have shared and getting to know each of you a little via your musical tastes.
I must say that music has played a significant role in my life. While I'm not a practitioner of the musical arts, I am most certainly a devoted follower.
Most recently I have rediscovered an album that I listened to frequently in my late thirties:
"Stories Across Borders" by the duo of Richard Barbieri and Steve Jansen.
If you are unaware of these names, you might recognize the name of a band of which both gentlemen were members: Japan.
If one were to categorize this album, it might best be labelled as "art rock", but I prefer to think of it as a dreamscape for the disenfranchised and lonely – which is how you could describe me at that point in my life. I had lost my way, my North Star, and I was at low ebb. I will share more of this story at a later date, but suffice to say that it was music that played a significant and stabilizing role in my life at the time, and this album in particular still resonates with me.

32 minutes of some boot stomping, great sounding, old school country. Makes me want to get back out to Nashville--though when I step outside and look at the ocean in my shorts and t-shirt, I figure I can just listen to this on the radio and ride it out in San Diego.

Cool I've seen many there as well over the last 25 years. Always love seeing X and Dave Wakling. Many memorable Beat Farmer shows. Countless others through the years
Probably the most memorable show was the Pleasure Barons with Country Dick Montana, Mojo Nixon and Dave Alvin in early 90's. It was like being in the middle of a bar fight
Some great upcoming shows. David Lindley in early January. Pat Travers, Pato Baton, Fishbone, English Beat, Kris Kristoferson, Al Stewart and Cracker/Camper Von Beethoven all booked over next few weeks also. One of the best small clubs in America for live music and certainly one of my faves. Blessed to live ten minutes away.
The Stones actually played a private show there a few years ago. It's the reason they started their 2015 US Tour at Petco Park. It was a party for Ralph Whitworth and his new wife. He had terminal Cancer and its was essentially his good bye party with friends. Word on the street was he paid them $2M to play.

Does the La Paloma theater in Encinitas still exist, and do they still do shows there? I remember seeing great acts like Billy Cobham, Stanley Clark, Al DeMeola, and John McLaughlin playing there while stretched out on the pews.
La Paloma still exists and is even closer to me but just old movies. Rocky Horror, Surf flicks, Indies etc. About 15 years ago Pearl Jam played a surprise gig before starting their tour due to Eddie's roots in Encinitas but that is the last i remember.
The shows you mention would likely end up at Humphreys or somewhere downtown these days.

No I grew up in NJ outside Philly. Been here since early 91 (except a brief return back east from 94 to 97). Both my kids are at SDA (what they call San Dieguito now) now. Ive got lots of friends that went there and you may know some depending upon age. Also my next door neighbor went there as did her mom. Last name is Piel.
Strange world. I was born in Englewood, NJ but parents moved to Solana Beach when I was 5. Piel sounds familiar but I can't place it.
Yup small world. I grew up down in Cherry Hill NJ. Another name you may recognize is Steve Cory who I used to work in a real estate office with. His family owned Cory Brothers Men's Store.
I know the Cory's well. I went to school with Steve's younger brother Larry. Steve was a heck of an athlete at one time.
Hearing that would make him smile. I see him pretty often and will share that with him. If you want to send more personal regards let me know

I really love the way this live album sounds. While I have huge respect for what they morphed into after 2112, it's a lot of fun listening to them with the main guitar sound being a Gibson through Marshalls with the occasional wah pedal and some old-school tape echo. It was cool walking by Massey Hall, where this was recorded, on vacation a couple of years ago.
