dancin' in the streets

1. I read some interesting Phil & Bob "We plan to be respectful of the event" pre-event comments...

...which they made in response to a "will you guys JAM?" question.

Obviously this was not the event for a Dark Star-->Playing In The Band-->Uncle John's Band-->Jam-->Drums--Space-->Playing In The Band-->Wharf Rat--Dark Star extravagonzo.

Although you might not necessarily agree with that...

3. Thanks, darkstar...I LOVE that song.

The "Stills-Young" album and Neil's own "Zuma" represent some defining moments in my life. Much appreciated.
