It's Paul Rudd. But Dave really should play that "David Duchovny, why won't you love me" song in a '90s set. What was that woman's name?

Always nice to hear a little David Lindley on the slide geetar.

BOS3 Ann Peebles. Some people still think this was Tina (who covered it years later).

VHM Ann Peebles. Back in the mid-90s I found a GH cassette of hers in a dollar bin in Pittsburgh. Her original "I'm Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down" is a treasure.

"I am denying them outright, and I am labeling them as damned lies."
Nice clip & nice segue into "No More Mr. Nice Guy".

Looking back on all the crap I learned in high school.
For example I learned that there were 9 planets & 3 states of matter. Now my 3rd grader learns that there are 8 planets & 5 states of matter.

Kodak was only the product name, not a person.

Plasma is correct. The other is called Bose-Einstein & I'd never hear of it until I tried correcting Adrian's homework.

A friend of ours grew up in Watkins Glen, and was a child there when that show took place. She said there were people everywhere, walking thru yards, camping everywhere, dressed (or undressed) in all manner of garb, and all sorts of mayhem. She remembers it being just very odd, but I imagine her parents had a different view of things.

You get another 10 if you can explain the origin of the product name.
I should know this: I'm from Rochester and have been to the Geo Eastman House many times, but I'll have to guess:
I think he and his mother just thought it sounded good....?
btw, I was going to say it was named after the Kodiak bear: I know Eastman was an avid hunter, he went on African safaris, hunted big game as gentlemen of the era did to prove their manhood, but he came up w the name well before he was wealthy from Kodak.

ETA: oops..
in re: Watkins Glen
My older brother went to this. He saved $10 by sneaking in through a breach in the hippie fence. He said lots of others did the same.

I think it's just cause he liked the sound of the "K"s. Right?

well, you're close. He thought "kodak" was the sound the camera shutter made when you took a picture. So it could've easily been Eastman-Kerchunk or something.

According to wikipedia, it's just a made up name, but they mention at least one other apocryphal origin:

fwiw, the answer to my frink point question is: Horton Hears A Who (according to IMDb, Osgood's only acting role (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0651872/). Probably Alicat or Davefish are the only other ones who could have conceivably seen that movie.

per the Eastman House web site (http://www.eastmanhouse.org/inc/the_museum/faq-eastman.php#kodak)
Where did the name Kodak come from?
Kodak remains today the most recognizable brand name in the world (tied with Coca-Cola). George Eastman made up the name in 1888. He remarked to a magazine editor in 1920, “The letter K has been a favorite with me. It seems a strong, incisive sort of letter.” It is also believed that the letter K was chosen in homage to his mother's maiden name, Kilbourn. With his mother, Mr. Eastman tried a number of letter combinations, creating words that started and ended with the letter K. Eventually, he settled on Kodak, a name universally identifiable and not translatable to any other meaning in any other language (an important aspect for marketing and patenting). On safari in Africa however, Eastman visited a native village called Kodok.
... and if you surf over there, check out his suicide note. very pithy.

a very important (and forward-looking) point, as Chevy found out when they tried to sell the Nova in Mexico!

I recall hearing that Exxon ran into that problem in the Far East with one or another of their previous corporate identities (Enco? Esso?) which forced their name change to Exxon.

in addition to the Chevy Nova ('no va' means 'it doesn't go' in Spanish), here are a few other branding mistakes I've heard about:
1.) East coasters among us will remember Wise potato chips, which predated Lay's by over a decade & used to come in a bag somewhat greener than this image...
(http://product.expotv.com/8/1/7/81741_150x150.jpg)
...but when they expanded into SE Asia their sales were pratically zero, because no one told them that in local Malay & Indondesian culture the owl & the color green were both considered harbingers of Death.
2.) On the flip side, Coca Cola first tried to launch a major marketing campaign in China during the time that their main slogan was "Coke Adds Life". Unfortunately they apparently only checked the dictionary & not someone conversant in colloquial meanings, because the characters they chose - while literally meaning "Coke Adds Life" - much more strongly connoted "Coke Will Resurrect Your Ancestors".
3.) Back to Mexico, much more recently the 'Got Milk?' campaign went south of the border, but again the dictionary translation - 'Tienes Leche?' is a phrase that doesn't quite mean what you think it does. In fact this is only used when one is asking a new mother, 'Are You Lactating?'

OK, where to start:
I had tickets to the Deep Purple/Fleetwood Mac show, which was cancelled due to somebody's illness. Went out to Stockton the next day to see them (FM) at some poorly run festival, only to have the cops cut the power and tear-gas the crowd after about 5 songs. Up until that point, they were riveting. Weird 'make up' show later on at Antioch County Fair building with Elvin Bishop, where they debuted some Mystery to Me material. Next time I saw them, it was the fake FM, then finally the Heroes version, Dec 74 at Winterland!
On the way home, caught the last half of the Beck/Bogert/Appice show.
Went to the Mahavishnu show to see the opener, Captain Beefheart (http://www.beefheart.com/datharp/pictures/wlandphotos.htm), with his awesome Clear Spot band. Mahavishnu kind of bored me, especially after such a hot Beefheart set.
Went to the Zappa/Foghat/Ruben and the Jets show. The awesome Overnight Sensation band of Zappa, mismatched by the awful, Quaalude-induced Foghat, who I was well predisposed to see, since I was a Savoy Brown fan at the time. Terrible match, the crowd totally booed Foghat after their set, but they still did an encore. Ruben and the Jets were awesome, and I recently bought their debut CD from Amazon MP3 store.

When they say "one more visit to..." should we infer from that that we're making our *last* visit to said year before Dave's outtie? Hope not.
