Bob! Tsk tsk Why be so crusty and old school? Fact is, Chicago
should be right up your alley being a 60s guy and all.

Ah, yes. Chicago.

...The sound of batons crushing protester's heads...

...The sound of bulldozers ripping up runways at three in the
morning...

...The sound of 16 lanes of traffic all grinding to a halt every 10
miles in order to drop 50 cents in a toll booth collection box..

It's now 80 cents.

OBTW there has been quite a bit of corruption (surprise) brought to light in
the Daley administration. He has been firing lifelong friends and cronies
left and right. I hear he is buying his shirt collars a few sizes larger as
of late.

Strange, I don't miss it at all. :-)

(In another life I used to work for the Chicago Tribune.)

It's a generational thing...I wouldn't walk across the street to see
any of the acts you mention. IMHO there has been no good music since
the 1960s.


... Yes, with the possible exception of Chris de Burgh ...




Who dat?

It is possible that he does not sell as well in the USA as the rest of the
world, but if you like '60s stuff, then it is hard to believe that you
would not like de Burgh's early stuff (1975) even better.

You made a good choice to ditch that "life!" What did you do for the Trib?

Can a mayor fire himself? :-) Most corruption starts at the top.

With the opening of the Concert Stage, the common taxpayer now enjoys a
park property previously
restricted to jet-setters.


Funny... my Jet would not fit in there.. I had to park it up north and get
there by helo shuttle..

There were a lot of propeller driven planes that were stuck there.. not too
many jets I think.

You made a good choice to ditch that "life!" What did you do for the
Trib?

I was a Circulation District Sales Manager, with S.E. Wisconsin as my
territory, back in the late 80s.

It wasn't a bad gig, except for those early morning meetings in downtown
Chicago. Gawd, I'd have to leave at 4:30 AM to be there by 8 AM.

I used to deliver the Trib when it cost three cents a copy...back in the
late thirties and early forties.

That's pretty severe. Don't like Gershwin, Rogers and Hart/Hammerstein?
Jerome Kern? Lots of good music 1920 through the early 60s.

For my money, you're in the wrong century.

Everything after Stravinsky is crap.
