Anyone have any extra for Trower 10/14 in St. Charles?

If anyone has an extra ticket for Robin at the Arcada Theater on 10/14, I would be happy to purchase it from you. I have been looking on Stubhub and everything is priced over $200 right now. The theater only holds about 900 people, so I'm starting to think the secondary market is not the way to go. I am instead taking a shot in the dark to see if anyone here in the Chicago area has an extra. Thanks to anyone who reads this.

Anybody ever heard of this girl? I hadn't until YouTube led me to her just now. Wowie Zowie is about all I can say! She really wails, but you'll know if you take the time to watch this all they way through. She's 27 years old and lives in Kilgore, Texas, 120 miles east of Dallas. This is a 10 minute video but if you just want to hear her play some really wailing blues guitar, go to the 5 minute mark.

Dolly Parton RIP

I have two really fond memories of Dolly Parton - and that is no pun.

The first - as a youngster watching the Porter Waggoner Show (with only 3 channels back then, you probably watched too). I remember her doing the live, in-show commercials for Breeze laundry detergent. Back then Breeze came with free hand towels in each box - similar to the way that cereal used to come with a cheap toy or prize. What made the ad's memorable was Dolly's deep southern accent, "free TILES in every box of Breeze". if you saw it, you remember it.

Second memory: one of my first professional jobs was Television Producer for a large book store chain. The store made practice of trotting out celebrity authors for book signings - which they wanted documented for various uses.

Without naming names, I'll tell you that some of these folks were nicer than others. A few were total A-holes, some were just fantastic to be around. Dolly Parton was of the latter camp. She was beyond nice to the horde of devotees who came out to see her.

The event gave me one of my favorite brush with fame stories: the time I pinned a lavalier mic' on Dolly Parton! I was right there on those boys, but alas - Dolly had a bodyguard who strongly resembled Steven Seagal!

I think it was her image ... and cup size (not coffee, here) that intrigued most. Not to be a dick, but I thought her vocals sounded like chipmunks on helium. She did pen some great songs, though.

I guess it's down to Billy now. I think ZZ Top was the same band from the beginning until Dusty died.

Rolling Stone// Gregg Allman: 20 Essential Songs

I thought this was a damn good collection and it gained legitimacy with me when I saw that writer David Browne included Just Ain't Easy, a tune that only us true fans even knew existed. For me, it's one of Gregg's greatest tunes. Overall I really liked Browne's commentary on this collection.
