    Why do I love this place?

    Because I can tell you that I'm going to see Ray Lamontagne tonight and some of you will share my excitement.

    When I tell my friends or co-workers they just stare blankly at me and say, "who?".

    I know just what you mean. Years back, having lunch in the corner window seat at the Top of the Pru in Boston with a bunch of business associates and talking about the next big thing in electric power, I kept wondering to myself how it would go over if I blurted out "I'm going the see The Cure at The Orpheum tonight!", which was all I could think about at the time. I decided it would not help my career path and chose to remain silent. BTW, the show was great!.

    Say Hi! to Ray for us.
    I didn't change my mind. It changed all by itself.

    I'm betting you would say the same about a lot of the bands i listen to as well, or bands that others on this site listen to.

    not picking a fight, just saying it happens to everyone.

    That's true. But the difference is that I, and others on this site, would say, "who?" and then go look them up. Whereas most other people would say, "who? never heard of him. Do they play him on the radio? No? Oh, he mustn't be very good then". Then they would walk away and that would be the end of it.

    It's that mentality of the people here wanting to learn about the unknown artist that I love. It's that somebody here, anybody here, might know who he is that I love. When not one person in my 'real' life outside of my husband and brother (because I made them listen) has ever heard him or even cares that they've never heard him.

    Hey that's not true FA.

    I've heard of him and I am truly envious that I'm not going.

    Ooops. I stand corrected. But I think that meeting you here makes you an exception (and exceptional).

    Sorry that you couldn't make it Bill. But you've seen Wilco and I haven't so call it even on the jealousy thing.

    LMAO! I tried to chicket you but apparently I need to hand out more chicklets before you can have one.

    Oh, and BTW, another reason that I love this place is the sense of humour of the folks around here.
