Ok, I'll chime in here too. I'm taking my 7-year-old son to the show tonight. Growing up in Detroit, the band would regularly do 3-night stands as the got the Michigan fans (there's a reason it's called Detroit Rock City) and the Canadians would stream over the border to catch the shows they may have missed in Toronto, Hamilton or London.. My first was Permanent Waves, then Moving Pictures. On that tour, at least in the show I saw, they didn't do Witch Hunt from MP. Tonight will close that circle. After that it was Grace Under Pressure followed by Hold Your Fire. The last for me was Test for Echo in Washington, D.C. (actually Landover, Md.) It's great to see the cross-generation appeal the boys have deservedly attained. I don't know if any of you saw this, but Neal was on Letterman last night for the finale of drum solo week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWyABiUpihs
He's still got it.
"Summer's going fast, nights growing colder/
Children growing up, old friends growing older/
Freeze this moment a little bit longer/
Make each sensation a little bit stronger/
Experience slips away ....
Time Stand Still

The running theory on Chuck Norris was that he would scare the oil back down into the well, thus eliminating the need for any further effort by mortal men and women.

NOLAWHODAT: Sorry man, I was focused on making sure we're getting this right. I'll absolutely give ya a WHOOOOOOOODAT!!!!! Though I don't think the game will be that lopsided, I still believe the Saints will win handily.

testing the comment functionality.

Hey all, a question for you: Why was it that WDSU was able to broadcast the Saints/Patriots game in addition to ESPN? Nothing against the folks at WDSU, I'm just curious.

Before every game this season, my wife, who weathered the dark days, imparts her prediction that the Saints are going to lose. So far she's been wrong 11 times.
