I think you should say it like a real New Yorker, Be nice to us...or else! :blah:
In keeping with the spirit of things here..... The martians landed here strictly for documentation purposes... I asked them for investment advice and the Venutians got mad cause the upper west side was too pricey and then the Peking Duck was crispy but not like at the old place where we had been taught to drink Wan Fu.
Major Tom to Ground Control..... The Beacon countdown is way way way down ...
Welcome to New York .....Be nice to the residents and we'll be nice to you.
Just for the record I don't feel someone should actually be "banned" unless they are completely vulgar or are personally attacking another person here. However, deleting a "few" posts for easier scrolling and reading is a different story. If someone is taking up too much real estate with nonsense, "some" of those posts should be deleted cause we all need to be able to see "who is posting "AND" what they are posting about" because we genuinely all care about eachother here and someone might have some "important" news to share with the guest book "family". Sometimes health issues are discussed here and other personal matters that need to be addressed. People are also trying to make plans with traveling etc for the Beacon run and having to scroll past endless amounts of gibberish makes it difficiult for all involved. I think that makes sense, don't you? Thats all....resume.
On another topic...
For those that care about song stats and that sort of thing, here is last years stats for songs played and how many times each was played. Mountain Jam was played 16 times which IMO is a nice number! That works out to about once in every 4 shows. The ABB played exactly 60 different tunes last year - sweeeet! I'd like to see 5 or 6 more make the cut...

Reminds me of one of my favorite sayings... "How can we miss you if you won't go away?" :bash:
Interesting little article below about how Ron Wood claims he's lucky to be alive.

Scotty - You CANNOT miss the Beacon, it would be a complete tragedy. Even if you have to fly out Friday night I'll come pick you up @ whatever airport you hit Saturday AM. After all your hard word planning and love for the music this would be the ulitimate drag.
Strawberry Fields is in Central park..right up the road from the beacon and right in front of the dakota....dont know the street name though....
I'm looking for some pre Beacon sightseeing Can anyone tell me where in the park is Strawberry Fields, I've never seen it. Thanks
Here's a quote from an ABC news site regarding the Jammy awards.
I find it funny that they refer to these bands as "unconventional"
I guess actually being able to play your instrument well and having the talent to improvise makes musicians unconventional these days..
I'm torn between being glad that a lot of our favorite bands might start to benefit from mainstream recognition and being upset that it means I'll probably be dealing with more hammer heads at shows in the futre.
"Regularly overlooked by radio stations and major record labels, these unconventional musicians survive by creating allegiances with their fans through relentless touring. In an era where it is easier to sell concert tickets than albums, these bands may have the right idea. "
Maybe someone already reported this issue, but when you post to, or, try to read, comments on the fan's photo page, all you see is the poster name. I tried this both at home and work, and zippo

Sandy - anybody that describes theirself as a MULE is okay in my book.
Rock on!
I too get nervous when things start to get banned, like my beloved Howard Stern. I know he's not for everyone, but no need to ban him in all of the Clearchannel markets. Everyone seems worried about the children listening to him, shouldn't children be in school at that hour?
yeah sandy's just got a bad case of punctuation....easy enough to skip by i guess, but he is looking for people of a like mind to converse with...:freaked:
After seeing the 'Bros for so many years and shows, it's always refreshing to hear different songs. I don't want to hear Mtn. Jam every show I go to. Give me something new. Pegasus? High Falls? Les Brers?
So many great songs, so few shows.
I just love hearing that special music.
I f there was one song I could hear all
the time it would be 'Post. So many
possibilities there and I love the tune.
Thinking of Berry today and wishin'
I could hear him one more time.
Sandy, can you spell " vacation"?

Hello to all of the beautiful-minded brothers & sisters out there!! 😉
I should be on my way to New York for my beloved Beacon trip....but,alas,life has a way of putting a halt on your plans!!So...no Beacon for me this year!!I am VERY sad to say!!I was definitely looking forward to meeting alot of new friends face-to-face!!I was really looking forward to partying & catchin up w/ alot of my extended "family"that I have had the pleasure to be-friend through the years!!I wish everyone who encounters the Beacon to enjoy every second!!!Enjoy the music!Enjoy the scene!Enjoy your new friends!(If you choose!!)But most of all....Enjoy the good vibes!! 🙂 😉 🙂 😉
Oh,yeah!!
Sunny and Mark....ENJOY the tickets that I gave you for 2 nights at the Beacon!!Oh how we'll miss seeing you guys!!Remember us when dancing at the Beacon all night!!I want details!!Have fun!! 🙂
i get nervous when people want things banned...
I think its easier to just not read a post by someone than to put more negative energy its way.
I am PUMPED for Red Rocks. Its priority #1 for me this summer. If I have to choose, and hopefully I wont have to, I am going to go to the ABB and put off the Dead. but I think I was a good boy this year and will be there for both bands. Really excited to meet the good people from the GB
My High School won the Boys 5A state basketball championship, our first title in B ball since 83. really nice group of young men so I am very happy for them.
...Remain alert!..
jim 😀
btw I've been exchanging PM's w/ sandy & they make a lot more sense than his regular posts(no I'm not defending him,well maybe 🙂 ) I got the impression that he was just trying to start a conversation about topics outside the ABB & just didn't do it very good...anyway dude did say he fell on his head back in the day 🙂
I WISH I WAS GOING TO THE BEACON 🙁
:clapping: :clapping: :clapping: THANK YOU LANA!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
:clapping: :clapping: :clapping: THANK YOU ROWLAND!!! :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:
..the world needs more lerts! 😎 ...
Bob, not every case is a case of Long. You really need to let that go a little bro, obsession is a better perfume than it is a way of life.
I'm going to have to agree with Sandy on that last post, he never did say one thing, one way or the other.
I think its just one big misunderstanding, I mean how could it be anything else?
This is just a cross-cultural experience where we've stepped outside of our own culture and had an interaction which we deemed "abnormal" or "weird." However, awareness of these differences is the first step toward understanding each other and will be paramount to creating a positive environment where peers can trust each other.
Alright I'm full of BS, but I've been writing essays for business school, and I think I'm getting pretty good.
