    I’m logging this show into the setlistfm archive. Could anyone tell me if there was an encore or where the encore started with the posted set list?

    Well, I wasn’t there, but if I had to guess, “Angel” opened the encore…

    I see from the home page that tickets are now on sale for the Macon Ga show, however, when I go to the site I can’t see where to purchase tickets. Help !

    That link takes you to the venue’s home page, and they show tickets are not yet on sale, so I wouldn’t worry. (Go to http://www.coxcapitoltheatre.com/ – at the upper left is a calendar – when you click on a day in the calendar, to the right you will see a description of the event w/ a button labeled “Book Tickets” – when you click on July 28, no event has been added yet.) If they were really on sale, the venue would show it I would think…

    That’s fantastic. The only way it could have been any better matched up was if the “Drunken Angel” in the movie wore duct-taped shoes… ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I loved the death scene at the end – great imagery with the clothes flapping in the breeze on the clothes line & the little roof vent spinning ’round & ’round…

    how about the line “when i get back, this room better be picked up…”
    ever heard that one before?

    My Mom used to say that all the time… ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Also from CWOAGR, I like the line, “there goes the screen door slamming shut” – there is something unmistakable about the sharp slap sound of a wood-frame screen door on a front porch slamming shut when it is pulled closed by a large spring. It was almost always immediately preceded or followed by someone’s Mama calling out after her kids…

    OK, I lied. I just thought of something, but it is the reverse of what you asked for, PDL. It is a Lu song that brings me to a place and a moment in time…

    When I was young (5 years old to 12 or 13), my family had an old home on North Wild Olive Dr. in Daytona Beach, Florida, only a mile or so from the famous Plaza Hotel with the drive-through tunnel under it that led out to the beach (you could, and still can I believe, drive on the beach in Daytona, but I think the old hotel & tunnel are gone now). We used to make the 8 – 9 hour drive to Daytona Beach once in the Spring & once in the Fall (at least) and stay a week or so, enjoying the beach. I used to love it.

    Any way, the driveway at the house was covered “in tiny white sea shells” (I am getting chills down my spine right now thinking about it & the connection to the Lu song you all have guessed by now). Every time I hear “Bus To Baton Rouge” I get choked up with the memories of my long-ago childhood & those care-free times I spent on the beach. (Believe it or not, the house didn’t have air-conditioning, yet we somehow survived, spending all day at the beach, then sleeping at night with all the windows open to the ocean breezes upstairs!)

    OK – your turn, PDL! ๐Ÿ˜†

    Of course, you know that’s not the case, PDL. I, for one, very much enjoy reading your posts here. And, others here have expressed the same to me as well…

    Fair enough, PDL. All I can say then in addition to what I already have is to explain why I didn’t reply to this thread when you first started it. Personally, I couldn’t think of any “place / moment in time that brings me to a specific Lu song”. Sorry, but nothing came to mind then, and nothing comes to mind now. I’ve never been the creative / “artsy” type, though, and that may explain why. Sorry I couldn’t participate! ๐Ÿ˜‰

    As for my “attention drawn” comment, I was just speculating as to why others may have not replied. In reality, maybe they couldn’t think of anything to reply with either… ๐Ÿ˜†

    is the hurricanes threat over for now?

    Actually, right now it is tornado season in the U.S., not hurricane season. The “official” season for tornados is not over for another week.

    Hurricane season in the U.S. is in the late Summer & Fall, BTW…

    I wouldn’t take it as a “snub”, PDL, if I were in your shoes. Rather, as a testament to the busy nature of most folks’ lives these days, as well as to the fact that our attentions are drawn in so many different directions with all the various forms of media and entertainment available…

    Just my 2ยข… ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Stephen King announces his collaboration with John Mellencamp is stage ready, after 11+ years.

    ATLANTA — Horror writer Stephen King says his first play, “The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County,” featuring haunting melodies by rocker John Mellencamp, is finally ready for the stage.

    See you in Chez Tracy next Spring, Lafayette! I’m really looking forward to it! I can deal with some “anti-Spiderman”! ๐Ÿ˜†

    For the record, I was joking with ParkerCA about his post above only after I had heard from him on Facebook that the danger had passed his location.

    I mean, I’m a clod, but I’m not totally insensitive… ๐Ÿ˜†
