Who's Lindsey?  ;-)

Welcome to the list, listie.   You can have as much fun as you want,
as long as you don't have more fun than binkmeister.   He hates that.

You like Adrian?   I bet I could listen to _Young Lions_ or _Lone
Rhino_ every day.   *Twice* a day, even.

Uh-oh.   The problem is that even OTR shows haven't really been OTR
shows for the last year or so.   Slowly, more and more of the early
material has dropped off the setlist.   'Cast Me Away/And It Can Be',
'June', and 'Little Blue River' have all drifted away from the setlist
in that span.

Amen, brother.   That's the way.  _Eve_ hooked my roommate recently.

Smoke-free?   You mean I can't bring my bong and/or crack pipe?


FWIW, I forced myself to play through all of GDBD on Friday.  I almost
made it, too.   I was halfway through 'Happy To Be So' when I couldn't
take it anymore, and put _Besides_ in instead.   I try and try, but I
don't see what a lot of you get out of this album.   It bores me.
