So there we were, me and Chris... Ever notice how Christopher Cross always sounds like he's driving past you in a car? It's like the Doppler effect: "ooooooooooooooooooooooooone in your life you fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind" (mimes looking back and forth) [[All from memory, so may be mangled.

If so - nice touch. J, did I hear a quick ‘Woman’ slipped into the WSP DB rendition of ‘Ride Like the Wind’? If so - nice touch.

Speaking of fat jokes, at the 2:45 remaining mark of the Gathering of Friends performance, I believe we're treated to Alan Parsons on acoustic guitar. He's as big as Thor these days -- both vertically and across. … Speaking of fat jokes, at the 2:45 remaining mark of the Gathering of Friends performance, I believe we’re treated to Alan Parsons on acoustic guitar.

Even the guy is Guster spends half his time behind a kit now.<br><br>There's a strange symmetry between McD's hair and his beard. They're not the same length -- that would be weird -- but it's as if he went for a uniform look all the way around. It's strangely mesmerizing.

Neither was Peter Cetera. I seem to recall Jeff saying that Cetera gave off a paranoid Mafioso kind of vibe. But Peter, if you're listening, I'm just quoting Jeff. I LOVE your music, sir. Jeff was the 14-year-old cub reporter who wanted to bring you down, not me. Terje, I didn't realize until now that you're responsible for that Alessi Brothers song from a few months back. Good work, sir! If anyone wants to know, I'm at 11:38 right now in "Metal Machine Music, Part I." It ain't so bad if you're listening to it while also doing something else. Still, I wish I'd had this in the fall of 2005 when my then-asshole neighbor (translation: still an asshole, but no longer my neighbor) was blasting me with his shitty music. This would've been great retaliation at full blast. Then again, I probably would've had to go for a walk while this was playing.
