I ordered a DVD for my dad as a gift for Father's Day.  I ordered it on Wednesday evening and it got here today.  Ordinary shipping.  That's impressive.

Woot, just scored a ticket to U2 on the 22nd.

Would have been so much better if it was 1988, though.

in his mind it still is

Well, in all fairness, they're on my "Bands To See At Least Once, Just To Say I Did It" list.   Since 1988, yes.  But still.

That's allright. I understand. It's the same as when I saw Floyd in 87...would have preferred it if it was 1972.

Oh, yeah.  There's no better time to see Pink Floyd than before they'd done anything good.  Like, "Echoes"?  It's okay, I guess.

They were performing DSOTM by then.

Yeah, but if you wait a few years, at least until Wish You Were Here came out, they'd be even better.

I wanted to see Alice in Chains. But nooooooooo, I was too busy. Then Layne Staley died and I missed out. FOREVER.

I finally did see them with black replacement dude. Not bad at all.

I've been giving my friend Joe shit about that for 20 years.  Didn't want to go see them on the Dirt tour when I scored tickets because "he had homework to do".  And I will give him grief for it for 20 more years.

Yeah, not bad at all.  Just different.  It's all Cantrell anyway.

I once knew a girl who was a crazy Nirvana fan. She wanted to go to Madrid to watch them live in '93, but her father didn't allow her, but promised her that, next time they played in Spain, she could go.

You know how that ended.

Musically, perhaps.

But by 74/75 when they started doing Wish material, they were also playing huge stadiums, especially in North America. See, the reason I picked 72 is cause they were doing great material and playing smaller seated venues of 10,000 or so.

[Admiral Yi]

Are you saying Wish You Were Here came out after Dark Side of the Moon?

I sure do: grunge sucked ass and people realized it and grew up.

Warned.

Should I buy a Leatherman or a Swiss army knife to have a good tool for hiking/backpacking?
