3.) “The dumb-ass witness” - They find some yocal who may or may not have seen the incident, but you get his incomprehensible story anyway. “he drove up dare see den turned around and came back to where I was standin’ at…. then started firin at the man, bam-bam bam see”.

So that’s what the Z Band were up to in the 90s: 70s medleys! Live at Milwaukee’s Shank Hall, March 15, 1994 here are parts one and two — around 22 minutes in total. (via) Oh, and how about some advice on choosing tunes for medleys?

Dr Sharl and I will be leaving for a week long trip to Ireland starting next Friday — save a two day wedding attendance with our friends MagicFingers and Indra in the greater London area. We’re to arrive at Dublin Airport at around 8pm local time next Sunday. We have two days to spend there before we fly over to Galway. Do any Dubliners reading this have any suggestions as to which places we should visit (comic shops, music shops, curiosity shops)? If so, do let us know, either in the comments or by direct email. Thanks!
