this version of Sniff'n'the Tears "Drivers Seat" sounds like a mix I've never heard before... a 12" version?

if you mean Mr Joel... well, I think he did quite nicely with Nylon Curtain & Innocent Man, but yes, the early part of the decade was when he succumbed to his worst excesses.  He had a major chip on his shoulder -- he wanted to be taken seriously as a rocker ("I'm better than Bruce") rather than the excellent pop songwriter that he was. I remember when "Glass Houses" came out, the critics were quite harsh; Rolling Stone said that if they gave polyester albums rather than gold & platinum, then that's what "Glass Houses" would deserve.

Damn! Phone rang right in the middle of "Some Girls" -- I don't know if it was the censored or uncensored version!

Today at least, the DDT track lists are showing you 1 or 2 songs ahead of the current one.

So I just went to check on the Zep tune (it was "Custard Pie", whoopee!!) and "Going To A Go-Go" was already listed (which is now playing) as well as "Jesus Just Left Chicago/Waiting For A Bus" (which thrills and delights me even more).

Yay!

Not.

Actually it was doing that last week, too. Kinda fun, knowing what was coming up next (and the song after that!).

Memphis Blues Again.

When the Dead used to do this, we used to see who could be the first to pick out Weir's lyric flubs. Then he got a teleprompter.

the teleprompter era was actually pretty short.  I thought it was mainly for Jerry, since he was so messed up.  I'm not really defending Bobby, as he's famous for flubbing lines, but I have seen him do Desolation Row without a teleprompter before too.  I play in a low class church band, and I look at chord sheets for every song.  I can't imagine having to learn the hundreds of songs those guys played.

Yeah, I think we just liked to pick on Weir. I should be more forgiving for those Dylan songs--they're incredibly long, lots of verses with lots of lines.

Here's one for the Beejster:  "Mr. Blue Sky"

For some reason I don't hate ELO songs with the word Blue in the title.  Just one of those things.

Would it be bad form to ask the Deadheads amongst us about the "Bob Weir-is-gay" rumors?  I had (straight) deadhead friends who repeated that rumor often back in the day ("Bob Queer" some people supposedly called him; "Weir as a 3-dollar bill", etc) and it was allegedly common knowledge.  I know that he got married relatively late in life.  Had you heard this or was it maybe an East Coast rumor?

well, who really knows what goes on in the deepest closets, but since I have spent some time with him (we were in business together) I can only tell you that it seems pretty silly, considering all the girls I've seen around him (before he was married of course!) and the way he would react to the pretty ones going by at a trade show.

How's that for a run-on sentence?

I think it's real common for that kind of rumor when the guy in question is a cutie-pie, which most girls seemed to think of Bobby as back in the day.

Thanks, Geoff!

I'm not one of those everyone's-a-closet-case types; you hear rumors about a LOT of people. When they are repeated often enough from enough different sources (hello, Tom Cruise!), that's when you start to go "Hmmmm..." In some cases (Rock Hudson, for example) they later turn out to be true.
