A venerable Boston band. My girlfriend and I watched as they filmed the video for "Don't Run Wild" on the MIT/Smooth bridge as we walked by,


Got bounced from a Del Fuegos show at The Channel. I was standing with some ladies and they were passing around a funny cigarette. S.O.B. bouncers let them pass it all they wanted, but as soon as it hit my hand they grabbed me and tossed me out on my ass. Last thing I heard was the pick slide from the bridge of Don't Run Wild.

I’ll fight anyone who doesn’t have this guy in the conversation of the greatest guitarists ever. John Petrucci is an absolute mastermind.



I don’t think anyone living or dead can hold a candle to John. That’s a broad statement but I’ll stand by it.

Ain’t looking for a scrap, but have you heard the original?

Is this the Dream Theater guy? He’s a great guitarist.

I bought "Southern Accents" (1985) upon release. That's the last Heartbreakers album I bought.

Petty's first solo effort, "Full Moon Fever" (1989), produced by fellow Willbury and ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne (who also produced George Harrison's commercially successful return to the charts, 1987's "Cloud 9'), was a monster seller and a great record, spawning several hit singles.

I'll post a few from that one at some point.

Please post your own, Susan,

I have.

This guy is the Dream Theater guitarist. For my money, he’s the best guitarist that ever walked the face of this earth.

I suspect they sought to eliminate potential competition.

Curiously, I have never heard of Wald's book, as 1965 ("Bringing It All Back Home," 4/65, "Highway 61 Revisited," 8/65) is my favorite period & arguably represents Dylan at his creative zenith.

As for the film, I dislike historically inaccurate biopics and thrill to period detail, but I get the poetic license part of the equation as well.

"Truth" can be told in many ways and through different prisms.

Artists, not least Bob dylan, enjoy poetic license for this reason.

Very much looking forward,
