There's a very moving moment in "Love to Burn" on Weld when Neil's voice breaks --- it sounds a bit like a sob --- when singing "Why'd you ruin my life? / Where you takin' my kid? / And they hold each other saying: / How did it come to this?" Two of Neil's sons, one by a prior relationship, suffer from cerebral palsy. That little moment is the only illustration I can think of why "recorded live" isn't any oxymoron.

Doesn't Neil suffer from something himself? Is it epilepsy? Has anyone read that recent book about him - Shaken or something like that?

Bringing us full circle back to Coors Light, eh?

It's still a powerful song, I agree. It seems odd that it was written by the same sentimentalist who wrote "Sugar Mountain." I suppose they won't be singing "Rockin' in the Free World" at any Girl Scout campfires, though.

Neil Young has an unbearable voice though--wobbly, thin--and I don't give a crap that he didn't suck in CSNY a hundred years ago--so, as with Bob Dylan, I cannot listen to the sound long enough to take in his actual lyrics.

For beer, try Canada. Thunder Bay. Waterloo Dark. Whistlers. Even their swilly, cheap beers (Molson, Moosehead, LaBatts) are twice the quality of Heinekin.

Yes, but would you date a pastor? My friend Missy suggested I consider that you would.

Smirnoff Ice

Does anyone drink this stuff, and its brethren like Skyy Ice and Bacardi Gold?

I always assumed that these products were solely created to circumvent the hard-liquor-advertising ban on television. "Hey, that malt beverage looks just like Bacardi. I think I'll have a bacardi and coke."

Yes, yes and yes. Heinekin sucks. Corona - awful. In the 70s Rolling Rock was the local Penn swill. My dad, a connoisseur of local swill, drank RR during our time in Pennsylvania and then switched to Genessee Cream Ale once we moved to the Empire State.


Edited to add that I consumed way too much GCA in college...

ewwww Genny Screamers. In the green can. That'll give you the shits for sure. Have you ever seen the "beautiful" Genessee River from whence they get the water for that swill? Did I mention the nearby Kodak plant? My grandmother drank Genny (not Screamers though) and it preserved her well until the cancer was finally able to develop an immunity to that toxic waste and get a toehold. Her sister, my great aunt, drank Blatz. Fucking A. My mother, bless her bitch ass, drinks Schmidts (you know, like in Grumpy Old Men). My family is fucked.

are wine coolers still sold?

I loved wine coolers when I was 18, and my mother would have groceries delivered to my dorm room. She would always include at least 2 four-packs. Good times.

Now, I think the kids drink that hard lemonade swill.

She's utterly harmless in every regard. If she were a kitchen utensile, she'd be a sponge.

Discussing the relative journalistic merits of morning "news" show hosts is like comparing vintages of white zinfandel. It's their job to introduce a still-groggy America to the latest diet fads and "Survivor" dropouts, and to dial the phones to Rather/Jennings/Brokaw when something like 9/11 happens.

What Couric does, she does well. If she hit people hard in interviews, the entire format would die. The nation gets enough controversy between 9 a.m. and midnight.

She was talking about her friend liking weak or sweet drinks like light beer or zin--therefore, my suggestion she also try a sloe gin fizz or pina colada. You can lay down your sword now--I'm not insulting good beer.

Oops. ops:

Sorry, I misread.

One of my best friends drinks either Amstel Light or Rolling Rock when she drinks beer. When she drinks wine, she likes white zinfy. I try not to hold this against her but sometimes it's hard. Seriously, I think the blandness is part of the appeal with all of these drinks.

I once overheard someone ordering white zin, on ice, with a slice of lemon. It took all I had not to start laughing uncontrollably.

It's all about a cute Russian who can win - http://www.mariaworld.net/photos.htm (tennis fan page photo galleries). And, she's hockey star fucking age right now.

That's okay. Come to think of it, I think *all* beer smells like urine, including the good stuff, so I can't imagine actually drinking it.

Now, you can be pissed off at me.

Dad drank Schmidt's when he couldn't get Pabst Blue Ribbon.
