I saw Rush/Til Tuesday on the tour where Til Tuesday opened for Rush.  I am old.

Congrats to Tom and good work to all the FOTs.  With a marathon you don't want to go out too fast and have nothing left in the second half, which can be a truly dreadful experience.  Having an almost even split like that shows disciplined pacing that would make ol' Hal Higdon proud, that is if he's still alive.  I'll go Google that and get back to you.

WAY TO GO TOM!!!!!

Did you know that Aimee Mann once made an appearance withTom's FAVORITE BAND of ALL TIME? She helped out as a background vocalist and fourth-dimensional camera operator.

Obviously, Tom and friends crushed this thing.  Hands down, it was awesome.   

That said, I think the entire WFMU airstaff did a magnificent job this time out.  I couldn't tune out. They transform the guaranteed-audience-repellent that is fundraising into the best entertainment anywhere.

The marathon isn't just the Superbowl of radio, it's the Superbowl of audio itself.

And I wonder what I did to make Ted Leo mad at me:
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I'll put up more pics from last week when I'm back home, but for now I've put up a bunch on Facebook. So if you're friends with me on Facebook, congratulations.

Palestinian Moments in the Evening -- very funny, and prompted me to actually laugh out loud.

Ha!  I was hoping I'd draw you out with that.  Thanks for being so awesome (in person as well as musically).
