Well done, Steve. This is some “pretty good stuff”. Who would’ve guessed the R&RW tour would end up being its own seemingly neverending tour?

I’m biased because my first time seeing Dylan live was that same month, but Fall 2006 was a fun time to be a fan.

Van cover album coming next?

I think Fayke’s origin was similar to the change from Suze to “Sylvie” in A Complete Unknown. Bruce had a pattern of self-sabotaging relationships and I think they wanted to include that without naming a real person. The Steve vs. Landau stuff could be an entire movie on its own…

Agreed. My biggest takeaway from the Lost Albums is how much it connects the dots between his mid-90s and early-00s releases. “Streets of Philadelphia” the song sounds more like a precursor to The Rising album now, too.

That’s more per year than the cap floor for an entire NHL team.

Is he wearing #16 in honor of Duran?

Dante Bichette probably did though.

Very good. You’ll never look at Nicolas Cage the same way again.

Billy Wagner has to get in. Nowhere near Rivera, but 7 All-Star games as a closer (including in his last year at 38) is pretty remarkable.

I’m expecting Ronald McDonald to be nominated as FDA commissioner any day now.
