Why I love PBS

The NJ PBS station that I get with my cable package has the 1978 new years eve concert of the Greatful Dead. Man SD is in his glory. Never thought I see the day when ya'd hear SD say I WANT MY PBS

But that is where all the good concerts are at I've seen The Moody's, Steely Dan, the Eagles, Peter Paul and what that ok the last one was going to far I agree.

Seems pledge time always brings out great programs. Shame that PBS sucks the rest of the time.

WOW! Thanks, I'll have to check my local PBS listing. SD, it seems that we have identical tastes in music.

Actually JD I love all kinds. From Oldies, Folk, Blues, Jazz, Motown, Rock, Heavy Metal, Acid Rock, Old Country, etc... But to see the classics that I was just to young to see when they first happened always makes me smile. Old Zep, Cream, Sabbath, Dylan, and Bon Scott AC/DC are tops of my list. Actually any woodstock footage rates up there real high also.

PBS can surprise you with something good once in a while. My favorite was Roy Orbison's "Black & White Night." You know it's going to be great when the BACK-UP SINGERS are stars themselves - Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, k.d. lang, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, Tom Waits.

Elvis Costello

Damn haven't heard that one in ages.

One of the best most unbiased shows on is Bill Moyers Friday night. He will expose any coruption and not offer any opinion but let you draw your own. We need more news shows that aren't controlled by mega corps. Frontline and Nova are also a sure bet as are the Ken Burns specials.

I think Veronica was by the Kinks.

My mistake. Veronica and Allison are both by Elvis Costello, it's Victoria thats by the Kinks.

Elvis was having an affair

Cheating on Veronica with Allison. I thought the kinks sang bout lola, or was it Layla no I'm sure it was lola. Who sang bout layla?
