Metallica's continued existence is baffling. They don't need the money, they don't release new music that often, and what they do now isn't very good. Yet they are present tense.

I saw them at Outside Lands a few years back and god damn they were good. I don't have really any interest in their new music, but they are quite great live.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

They are all very competent musicians. Bless their hearts.

DiMaggio and Koufax knew when to walk away.

I knew this was going to be bad, but I wasn't expecting the audience guy singing, that was funny.

Search for "Fat French pastry chef", that should yield a result if there is one.

Heh. I wonder what Suzanne is up to these days. Or obsessing about.

I won't listen to them covering The Clash - why do that to myself? - but I actually thought the single from their new album was decent. Wouldn't inspire me to seek it out, but I don't flip the station when it comes on.

She's still semi-active on fb. Seems like she's well.

That's good to hear. I enjoyed her enthusiasm whenever she discovered a "new" band.
