^True story.

I am currently stuck in the Jellyfish room.
There is a entire live set from Nolo recently posted on youtube and after some sound issues in the first song, it is a gem of a set.

I remember when this song / video came out I was totally captivated by both. The song because it's brilliant and the video because it was 1987 and I was 18.

Appropriate? Not at all. Sometimes a little G.G. Allin gets me through a shitty situation.

Chandler, I've been thinking about your shoulder. Bums me out. Hope you can find some humor in this song like I do. G.G. should have added "Scoot" before "Drink" in this song title.

Teenagers doing punk rawk. Dig it.

Dylan. I know he has probably written over 500 songs, but I gravitate towards the earlier tunes.

The Update:

In March, 2012, during the investigation of the guitar that Dawn Peterson brought to our attention, History Detectives contacted Bob Dylan's attorneys twice asking for any comment or reaction. We received no response at the time.

On July 11, after production of the program was completed, Mr. Dylan's attorney responded to press queries with the following statement:

"Bob has possession of the electric guitar he played at The Newport Folk Festival in 1965. He did own several other Stratocaster guitars that were stolen from him around that time, as were some handwritten lyrics. In addition, Bob recalls driving to the Newport Folk Festival, along with two of his friends, not flying."

His attorney also sent a letter to PBS and Lion Television (co-producer of History Detectives) with a similar statement, raising concerns about the authenticity of the items featured in the program. The attorney also "dispute[s] that Mr. Dylan has relinquished superior ownership to any of the property at issue."

In response, History Detectives issued this statement:

History Detectives stands by its reporting of our story in which we conclude that a contributor to the show is in possession of the Fender Stratocaster played by Bob Dylan at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.

The guitar was authenticated by Andy Babiuk of Rochester, New York, based on the evidence provided – which included close-up color photographs of Mr. Dylan performing at Newport.

Mr. Babiuk was able to match the wood grain shown in detail on the photographs with the wood grain of our contributor's guitar. According to Mr. Babiuk, like a fingerprint, no two wood grains are identical. Mr. Babiuk has previously authenticated numerous guitars including a John Lennon Gretsch 6120 currently on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a Bob Dylan Hummingbird used by Mr. Dylan at President Bill Clinton's inauguration.

History Detectives welcomes the opportunity to examine the guitar which is currently in Mr. Dylan's possession.

Although it may not be clear who actually owns the instrument, our job was to investigate if this was the guitar played by Bob Dylan at The Newport Folk Festival in 1965, and to educate the public about these important events in our country's cultural history.

That is tasty stuff. Their name sounds super familiar, but I can't place anything. Going to have to dig into that.

The early '90s was a weird and wonderful time for music. There were a lot of great bands at a time when everyone was waking up from the hair band era. I think a lot of talent got lost when grunge took over the airwaves, and even though a lot of great stuff came out of it, I'm still not sure that was the best direction to take.

I think music was trying to find itself. Look at the charting artists from 1990-1993. It's all over the map. A lot of good stuff came out of that era that wasn't grunge.
