Not a sports fan at all, will watch super bowl and world series with group, but really don't care.

I felt sorry for Pete Rose, I feel I heard a story about wife abusers being allowed into the hall of fame, but not Pete?

On another note, I have a new favorite song. Maybe a bunch of you have heard of him, but I hadn't, Jelly Roll. He was on Saturday Night Live this weekend and did a tune called "Winning Streak". A search of "Jelly Roll - Winning Streak (Live on SNL)" will pull it up. It's a tune about a alcoholic going to his first AA meeting.

One of the best refrain lines EVER

I was so ashamed to be in this seat, til I met a man who was 20 years clean
He said, 'Everybody here's felt the same defeat. Nobody walks through these doors on a winning streak.'

Check it out. Hope you find it as good as I do.

And, no, I've never had an addiction or been to any sort of meeting.

Keeping the drive alive…

A true legend

He got screwed over

Charlie Hustle

Way back in 1975 I went to a Cubs game vs. the Reds...went down toward the field pregame

Here is Johnny Bench Dave Concepcion and Pete Rose warming up

That was cool to a 6th grader

Still cool to me now

He so much deserved to be in the Hall of Fame

Spinning now.

Not forgetting the above treasure trove that came out on vinyl fairly recently. Again, highly recommended, both for the music played and the sound quality. "180 gram audiophile vinyl" it says on the spine of the record, and it sounds like it.

My Mom's favorite band after she and Dad saw Pete and his band play live in New Orleans (1969?).

And that reminded me of the David Crosby interview where he called the Dead "psychedelic Dixieland.'

Seems about right!

"Walk out of any doorway
Feel your way, feel your way like the day before
Maybe you'll find direction
Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you"

There is 69 vinyl.
FW69 which was Plangentized (the CD’s were not, so the vinyl is a remaster) and 4-26%,27-69 DP26.

JFCattlet74.....not exactly, but as close as damnit is 11/10/67 that was included in the 30 Trips box. That one came out in vinyl shortly afterwards, and sounds superb. As you probably know, this was one of the shows that was recorded and used as a basis for Anthem of the Sun, and it has all the hallmarks of a great 1968 show.

Speaking of which, 2/14/68 would go down well on vinyl. I think they have steered clear of Road Trips for vinyl so far - something of an untapped resource there.
I would also have snapped up 8/21/68 on vinyl if I had known where to get it.
