Old 97's appreciation thread
Yup. They played with Killbilly near the end of their run. They were a great band with a lot of talent. First time I saw Rhett he was singing folk songs in front of some Cafe on Elm Street. Next time I saw him was at the Killbilly farewell show at Clearview. The ended their show with a sizzling cover of Anarchy in the U.K. followed by Allen Wooly absolutely shredding on a cover of Little Wing.

Best American Songwriter?
Best? I dunno, but what about Gary Louris? Collaborated with Mark Olson on most songs on The Jayhawks first four albums, and wrote most of them on the last seven. Wrote songs for Nickel Creek, Dixie Chicks and, I think Golden Smog. Extra points for being a great singer and underrated guitar player.

You can buy a sapling here if in stock https://legendarytrees.com/shop-trees/ I bought a seedling 15 years ago and donated it to our local Heritage Museum for Arbor Day. It was some special deal from American Forestry Association I think.

Worst Cars Of Your Childhood
Wow. I thought I was the only one who had one of those. Mine was a two door coupe in dark blue. My dad was a service mgr. for a Toyota dealer. Obviously I was much sportier than you. Mine was actually a pretty nice little car.

A morning in February 2003
Surprised a lot Texans don’t remember this. 7 astronauts killed and debris and body parts scattered all over East Texas. Sticks with me because I heard it, felt it and saw it. Of course Challenger was a take off carried live on all major networks. Also wasn’t it the first time a civilian went up? Columbia was caught live on some local D/FW stations. The recovery process for Columbia was also reported on and went on for a long time.

The destruction of America's public education system
- A morning in February 2003
About this time 20 years ago I was sitting in my home office checking HornFans. The house shook and the dogs started barking. I heard a muted “boom” as I walked out the front door. I looked up northeast and saw it streaking toward the southeast. In pieces. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/space-shuttle-columbia-disaster-20-years-later/287-ac346e6f-3c5d-4352-9f6e-14a807f589e9- 2022-2023 Winter Weather Thread

Hi Peyton- Motorcycle Fanatics Thread
This Limey is nuts.- Tom Verlaine RIP
Yeah it was a helluva show. Fripp was using the pseudonym “Dusty Rhodes” at the time. After two encores we were still screaming for more. The came back out and Gabriel said they hadn’t learned anymore songs and wanted to know if they could repeat something. So the did. 18 years later I saw Richard Lloyd again. This time at the Caravan of Dreams with Matthew Sweet on his “Girlfriend” tour. He was incredible and seemed to be having the time of his life.- The destruction of America's public education system

Bummer. Saw Television open for Peter Gabriel on his first solo tour. Row 4 at Dallas Convention Center Theatre. Seeing Robert Fripp, Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd on the same night was pretty cool.- Big Bend - Alpine - Marfa - Fort Davis
Went there pretty soon after they opened and spent the day. Looks like they have done a lot of improvements. The couple who were running it were from Dallas. Turns out we knew the lady. She was a bartender at Club Dada. Anyway it was a cool place. Had a blast driving the WRX out there.- Frisco, we have a Johns problem
