Music and Movie Update...

U2: Live, Under A Blood Red Sky (CD/DVD)

Recently, the CD and DVD were re-released as a combination CD/DVD package. I borrowed the re-release combination CD/DVD from the local library and I have to say that the CD and DVD hold up pretty well. I had not watched the video release since about 1990 and I still liked it. Of course, the DVD has its turgid moments, but it was 1983 and Bono is the lead singer, so what do you expect?

Anyway, "Electric Co." still is my favorite song on the CD side of the equation.

Reading Update...

Bob Dylan Revisited (2009)

Overall, I was disappointed with this book because there are too many literal interpretations of the lyrics in the drawings. ("Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" is most guilty.)

My favorite chapter is "Not Dark Yet" by Zep, which is simple and tasteful.

Is this the best bullpen cart ever?

Seattle Mariners, 1982

I read in an article that the Mariners' relief pitchers refused to ride in it.

Music Update...

Faster Pussycat by Faster Pussycat (1987)

I've been listening to this album on my MP3 player. I agree with Robert Christgau that side one is much better than side two. This band may be a poor man's Aerosmith or New York Dolls, but most of their songs on this album still rock.
