#124s again in action earlier tonight in Hollywood, FL at Hard Rock Live. Standing in the shadows living in the Present Tense. Mike McCready Stone Goddard

I think I am already on like Step 3 or 4. After missing the last 5 games completely due to other activities and priorities I caught the last 4 innings today on Sirius XM. Uffda. It was easier to take while walking around the waterfront in Ft Lauderdale.

I've been there. Very well worth the trip, even though I saw one of like 12 rain delays in franchise history (not joking).

I recently saw The Ballad of Wallis Island. Good. Very sweet movie. I wish that the promos/trailers had not given so much of the plot away. If there's a movie I would compare it to in terms of style, setting, tone and humor it would be Local Hero. Carey Mulligan again shines and has a pretty...

Money.

See above for my Friday adventure. The group of 6 out of towners from Illinois had connections to the opening act for the Saturday Bob Mould Band show at the Palace. That group was the Poster Children. With my local group of 3, bringing our total to 9, that exceeded the largest group I have...

At least it sounds pretty decent still from the sidewalk.

My cousin and 5 of his buddies made the trek from out of town for the Mould Palace show on Saturday and it was an easy sell to hit the Turf/Watt show as well. They were arriving at various times via car and 3 different flights, and I was just a tag along. The plan was dinner at the Downtowner...

I would be really curious to see how many ponied up for Twins TV Streaming at $99. The Padres were able to get 40,000 which is what has been used as a baseline for the getting around $5 million from that platform. I wouldn't be surprised if the Twins are more in the 10,000 neighborhood...

I've thought U2 was great going back to Boy. Still think they are great as do the over half million fans I have attended shows with over 4 decades. That includes the 50,000 at TCF Bank Stadium in 2011 which was one of the coolest musical experiences I have had. I hope they are not done...

Agreed. They also share a Second City Theater connection, though different troupes, Belushi/Chicago & Candy/Toronto.

I'll put more in the Live music thread when I get a chance, but I was part of a group of 9 (6 coming from in from various parts of the country) and all us were stunned how energetic Mould was. It felt like he turned back the clock multiple decades in that aspect.

#134 in action tonight at the Palace in St Paul. First time with his band in the Twin Cities since September 2021, first time I had seen him with them since April 2019.

They actually were in Spielberg's 1941, but Candy's role was pretty small and I can't even recall if they shared any screen time.
