    Isn't it rich? Are we a pair? Me here at last on the ground and you in mid-air Send in the clowns Isn't it bliss? Don't you approve? One who keeps tearing around and one who can't move But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Just when I stopped opening doors Finally finding the one that I wanted was yours Making my entrance again with my usual flair Sure of my lines Nobody's there Don't you love a farce? My fault, I fear I thought that you'd want what I want, sorry my dear But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Don't bother they're here Isn't it rich? Isn't it queer? Losing my timing this late in my career But where are the clowns? Send in the clowns Well, maybe next year

OMG folks....my guess is virtually all of our beloved and patient spouses are on that same bus. It was last week I think when Klang had a great idea that we should create a t-shirt for them. I ran it by my wife and she came up with this: "MY MARRIAGE SURVIVED THE FTW-GD 50th !!"

Steve welcome. my wife is along for 1 show. kids along for the rest. big debate whether wife should attend 4th of July...we "feel" this will be the rocking-est; or the Sunday shows, which "could" be more emotional. So far, she picked Saturday, anticipating US Blues and Jack Straw. Oldest son's job on Sunday is too keep me from completely melting down at the last song. Good luck with that, son. grrrr...what happened to your buh-wheat post?

Not sure how I feel about Mondays. "I like it, but it doesn't like me" or something similar to that Jimmy Stuart said in the best Philadelphia Story. Want to drop out but also want to patch those sails... I once heard that political correctness was invented by the right. Without making a judgement call on directional leanings, the nature of each make political correctness a farce and parody of itself. Nothing wrong with consciousness, inclusion, awareness, tolerance, and respect though. I'm all about that. I have ten fingers and ten toes and I miss/ed Jerry. My sister is not coming to Chicago but she's along for the ride in Santa Clara. I ask if she wants to come just Saturday or Sunday and - bless her heart - she says "I want to go Saturday. That way if I want to go Sunday too I can." She's got a spark of faith she do. Know telling how far she'll go down the road ;) "And nobody knows it like you do babe, nobody knows it like you do Nobody knows it like you do babe, the lengths we will go to" - Shovels and Rope Everyone get enough coffee? I'm tempted to make another pot.

Okay I am slow on the uptake but as I was reading about your wife's t-shirt idea - grate idea BTW -it finally hit me that when my husband is saying WTF?!?!? He is just spelling FTW backwards right? He is actually, subconsciously, calling on all Freudians here, expressing his joy about the shows! Am I right?

Cuz the vandals took the handles. When will we learn this never works. Just sucks and riding out the rage. This town had a chance for a few days to make a statement that would have been heard. There was a lot of sympathetic ears to the story of a young man dying in police custody with a broken back. Even the proper folk round here looked beyond a criminal record to see things went too far. All that gone. Pleased to meet you. Hope you guess my name

Hey now brother, don't you be messin' with the Spectrum. Most famous and MOST PLAYED building in the entire east coast. We were nice enough to let you "up to Buffalo" folks even come down for a few shows :-) Sat row 2, sect 102 (dead center) for the last show in '09 (The Dead") with they unveiled the tie-die 53 banner in the rafters. What a moment.... If I had my way, I would tear this ole' building down... And with that they closed and after that came the wrecking ball on the old gal.

I've jumped thru the avatar hoops too, and the solution seems to be to do the following: 1) Remove picture from profile. 2) Do not add new picture. 3) Close your computer down. 4) Click your heels three times. 5) Turn your computer on again. 6) Wait 48 hours. 7) Add profile picture. It appears there are avatar gremlins and trolls lurking about, and they quickly replace all new pictures with the old one. The trick is to wait a couple of days, using no picture at all when you post. When you finally do log on and decide to add the picture, the gremlins and trolls have partied, slept, have awoken with groggy minds, and have forgotten about the old picture, allowing your new picture to appear in its rightful place. Good luck...btw, Item #4 is not mandatory, but if it feels right, do it anyway. Disclaimer: Void where prohibited, not valid in states with snow, results may differ, and objects in mirror may be closer than you think...allow 46 weeks for delivery. all the best....and good luck geo

Peace and prayers go out to those in chaos. Don't understand the mindset of destruction of property and disruption of innocent lives to make a point "against" the establishment. You are defending the rights of individuals against such crimes by committing worse crimes. Senseless! Violence begets violence. When will people ever learn...(super sad)
