Dead Music Part 1

Taking a break from sports here, just came back from a great concert at Westbury on Long Island. For those not familiar, it used to be called Westbury Music Fair. Now it is Capital One Bank at Westbury. Go figure. Anyway, Bob Weir's band Ratdog was there. What a phenominal show. These guys kick ass. Two highlights was Casey Jones in the first set, and Black Throated Wind in the second. That one blew me away since I just brought that tune to the band I am in. Of course they did lots of other great stuff.And being it was Halloween, the encore was Werewolves of London. Next up Saturday night is Phil Lesh and Friends at The Nokia Theater in Manhattan. Stay Tuned....

Well, well, well...

It is always nice when the Rangers go to the Nausea Mausoleum, and beat the Ice-Landers. There certainly seemed to be lots of Rangers fans there, which isn't saying much for fans of the Ice-Landers. Back in April, I saw the Rangers eliminate the Devils at the Prudential Center in Newark, and there was at least 50% Ranger fans.
That will NEVER happen at the Garden. There will be fans of the other 2 local teams for sure, but not like that. LET'S GO RANGERS!!...And one more thing..POTVIN SUCKS!!

Some thoughts....10/26/08

First...yes I am gald the Jets won. However, Favre was HORRIBLE. The offense never got a good rhythm going. The people I sit with at the game, said why can't the Jets blow out a team like KC? It should never have been close. Now the schedule gets tougher.
Second, NY Rangers keep rolling along. Shame what happened to Renny. It's amazing things like that don't happen more often.
Lastly, in a previous blog entry, I wrote that I am not that interested in the World Series, although it would be nice to see TB win, just because it is their first time in. Someone commented how can I say that. I should be a fan of the game. Well, I hate the Phillies and always have, and have no rooting interest in TB. So in that thought, I really don't care.

Do I care?

To quote The Who from the song 5:15..."Why should I care....why should I care".
Not to sound Un-American, but I really don't care about The World Series. I guess I would like to see Tampa Bay win, just for the fact that it is their first time there. But I also can't root for Philly. And seriously, it is not because I am a Met fan...and there are some out there who will still think that anyway.. there are just some things you can't do.

J-e-s-t Jest Jest Jest/Grateful Deadness

To get this out of the way first...THE JETS SUCK!! They are my team, and I will always root for them, but the way they played today, they deserved to lose. They play the Chiefs at home next Sunday with a return by Herm Edwards. They can't lose that game.

On the music scene, up until Tuesday, I hadn't gotten tickets to see Ratdog or Phil Lesh and Friends who will both be in the NY area in a couple of weeks. Well, as of Thursday I had two different friends with extra tickets to each, so now I am going to see Ratdog on Halloween at Westbury, and have tickets next night to see Phil Lesh at the Nokia. That is totally excellent!!

Rangers

Well, being so immersed in football, and not caring about baseball after a certain National League team from NY didn't make the playoffs again, how bout them 4-0 Rangers. I can't believe I haven't seen any game yet, but if I am home and they are on, I will be certain to watch. Obviously you can't get crazy at this point, but a dominating season would be nice.

Jets

Nice win by the Jets. Once again the defense was a little sloppy, and Favre gotta watch those turnovers, but a win is a win.
Lets hope they can keep it going.
