Hey Mike, you going sans avatar for the time being? I'm not seeing anything by your login.

should be a pic of "Slaughterhouse-Five", the movie.  Gaz's shocking dis of Vonnegut yesterday inspired me.

BOS Beck's haircut

Seems the image is blocked (just a red x shows for me).

Vonnegut is somewhat depressing, especially S-5.  It certainly isn't a happy book.

OK, now I'm seeing a S-5 movie poster. So either it came unstuck, or you switched to a different image.
Let's get right to it.

But it's an amazing one (and the movie just as, if not more so). So I was taken aback that he would dislike it. Dunno what other KV novels he's read.

Ah, Oasis, with the battlin' Gallagher Bros. BOS3 Wonderwall. Another bustout.

The resident musician at the market yesterday did a nice version of this, along with a whole raft of Lennon/McCartney songs.

BOS2 LL, "Private Convo"
Yay, Lyle!  I'm seeing him next week at the Mountain Winery.  Always a great show.

Hey, I'm going too!  I won tix on M3S a couple weeks back.  Are you going with the missus?

All right, I'll bite.  What's a wonderwall?  And is it related to a sugar wall?  (As if I knew what that was, though I think I do...)

It was a rather obscure film from the 60s for which George Harrison did the soundtrack, iirc. Never seen it myself.

Yup, we're going on Tuesday.  If you're going to that show, it might make sense to carpool -- you get all sorts of benefits for having three people in your car -- free drinks, special parking spot...

Check that, free snacks, not free drinks.

I can give "Free" a VHM, but if Annalisa'd played "Prince Caspian" I woulda coughed up a BOS.

Sounds like a plan.  I'll call your cell next week to coordinate deets.

Gene Pitney (songs) still rule on 10at10!

Definitely the BSO, Mike.
