Oh, good.  I had resigned myself to Deep Tracks on the assumption of lockout.

I didn't check to see if they posted the setlist in advance like yesterday -- did they?  (Don't spoil any surprises if they did.)  Predicting some Aerosmith and something from Court & Spark.  Also Bowie seems likely.  But I'd rather hear John Denver or Gordon Lightfoot today, weirdly enough.

don't know if you heard the interview on KFOG earlier, but this guy has written a book called "Popstrology" -- he says you can chart your life using not the stars but the songs that were charted on your birthdate.

Amusingly enough, I got that book as a present last month.  The author was on Micky Dolenz's morning show earlier this week.  I'll be happy to provide the popstrological charts for anyone who provides me the birthdate info.

Sadly, he only goes back to '56. The website explains he hopes to go back futher on the near future.

Now that Gaz has finished sobbing... here's the Ozark Mtn Daredevils, "If you Wanna Get to Heaven, You Gotta Feed Terri Schiavo".

Argh.  Popstrology that precedes the Billboard chart era (1956) is beyond the author's (and thus my) purview.  Sorry, Geoff.

(The author made a special case for Micky, born 3/8/45, declaring him to have been born under the Andrews Sisters.)

I'd forgotten Dave Mason did a version of "All Along the Watchtower". And with good reason.
