I could be wrong, but I think one of the lures of seminar is that the college board provides materials for ninth grade as well. For “free.”

That is not good. At the conference, when one of the presenters said “our district makes us do full texts,” all I could think was “check please.“

I went to the AP conference, attended quite a few sessions on seminar, and I still have no idea.

Also, sending you both thoughts and prayers for your upcoming Peter album review. At least it’s not produced by Vini Barbarino for Mad Sweathog Productions. And Tom, don’t be throwing shade at York Steak House!

Nice episode — I am not a collector but I am looking forward to your reviews of the music. With Ace’s passing we should cherish whatever material (esp live stuff) that gets released in nice quality rather than the bootlegs we might have.

Absolutely. Seeing him “loosen up” over time is an incredible amount of fun.

I must also give kudos to a couple of impressive rants on the show. I really hope that once the Alive box gets released, people will remember why they like the band in the first place.

When I heard what the episode was about, I laughed out loud because I assumed the show was going to be as bad as the one I saw in Nashua a couple of years ago. I am happy to hear that the Spaceman and his band have managed to find a way to put on a good show.

I’m assuming the puppy is worried because I remembered that immediately but can’t remember any of my passwords at the moment. Maybe I need a ROADMAP!!

This was a really fun episode. It’s a record I have strong feelings about and it was cool to hear what your thoughts were. Do you guys remember the silly Tony Carey video MTV used to show all the time? “A fine fine day for a reunion?“

Great job, guys! Great balance between asking real questions and staying respectful. The revelation that they watch film like a football team blew me away.
