"Jay Honeck" wrote in message ups.com... Bob! Tsk tsk Why be so crusty and old school? Fact is, Chicago should be right up your alley being a 60s guy and all. Ah, yes. Chicago. ...The sound of batons crushing protester's heads... ...The sound of bulldozers ripping up runways at three in the morning... ...The sound of 16 lanes of traffic all grinding to a halt every 10 miles in order to drop 50 cents in a toll booth collection box.. It's now 80 cents. OBTW there has been quite a bit of corruption (surprise) brought to light in the Daley administration. He has been firing lifelong friends and cronies left and right. I hear he is buying his shirt collars a few sizes larger as of late. Strange, I don't miss it at all. :-) (In another life I used to work for the Chicago Tribune.) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

It's a generational thing...I wouldn't walk across the street to see any of the acts you mention. IMHO there has been no good music since the 1960s. ... Yes, with the possible exception of Chris de Burgh ... Who dat? http://www.cdeb.com/maindexnew.html It is possible that he does not sell as well in the USA as the rest of the world, but if you like '60s stuff, then it is hard to believe that you would not like de Burgh's early stuff (1975) even better. |

With the opening of the Concert Stage, the common taxpayer now enjoys a
park property previously restricted to jet-setters. Funny... my Jet would not fit in there.. I had to park it up north and get there by helo shuttle.. There were a lot of propeller driven planes that were stuck there.. not too many jets I think. BT |

You made a good choice to ditch that "life!" What did you do for the
Trib? I was a Circulation District Sales Manager, with S.E. Wisconsin as my territory, back in the late 80s. It wasn't a bad gig, except for those early morning meetings in downtown Chicago. Gawd, I'd have to leave at 4:30 AM to be there by 8 AM. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

That's pretty severe. Don't like Gershwin, Rogers and Hart/Hammerstein?
Jerome Kern? Lots of good music 1920 through the early 60s. Bob "Richard Riley" wrote in message ... On Sat, 2 Jul 2005 18:14:03 -0700, "Bob Gardner" wrote: :I'm a 40s and 50s guy...pre-Beatles. For my money, you're in the wrong century. Everything after Stravinsky is crap. |
