This is one of the ultimate cases of a cover supplanting the original, which is no small feat for a Dylan song

"Two riders were approaching, and the wind began to howl."

This was used in the graphic novel Watchmen to great effect (each chapter ended with a quote, and this qoute led into the final chapter).  Wonder if/how they will work this into the film.  From all appearances it hews very closelyto the source material.

And it comes out on my birthday!

Agreed with all of the above.  Wish I could watch the Watchmen with y'alls on 03.06.09!

That's right, had momentarily forgotten that.  You wanna go catch the movie?  I'll be in the city that afternoon/evening retrieving my mother-in-law from SFO.

maybe we could meet for a drink, but I'll prob skip the movie on opening night.  I do want to see it, though.

Sounds do-able.  I'll ping you separately.

Indeed, hope you have a great day, sir. Would love it if this great sunny weather we're having hung around thru your b-day, but I've heard it'll be otherwise.

So is anyone listening on terrestrial radio? Can you tell me what the bonus track was? The stream got hosed again--lots o' commercials, then back into that fabulous 1968 relic Train in Vain.   ???

Dang me.  That's a helluva bonus track to have missed.  We may never hear that on KFOG again. 

Dave's only played 3 Turtles tunes, once each, in '66, '67 & '68.  And I'm beginning to wonder if we'll ever go back further than '68 in the future (assuming of course that Dave actually resurfaces!)

A fab set -- 10-way-tie, despite the Equals and S&G being near-Katrinas (at least to my ears) and a special shout-out to the wonderful, underrated Troggs, just because Gaz dissed them recently.
You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round

Revenge is so unbecoming, dear.   ;)
