Wow! Congratulations Nathan. Can't wait to see how the rest of the lineup shapes up, though Primal Fear alone makes it worth the trip.

No. Perhaps the severity of the actual virus is being downplayed, but is ability to spread has not been downplayed at all. The totals have grown daily, as has the list of countries affected. The problem is that everyone wants to be a cynic and label this as hype, a political stunt, etc...

300 million or so...

The high school in my town got shut down a few days ago until next monday, as did another local school due to multiple cases. The school I work at in the town next door is pretty much ready to pull the trigger too on closing the doors for a few days.

Great idea. Except for all those nice folks who perhaps aren't salaried and can't afford to miss work. Talk to someone trying to stretch an already shitty income to make ends meet that they really need to stay home because of a cold. Many people are also not fortunate enough to work someplace...

Third World living conditions, overpopulation, densely-populated living, and the globalization of virtually every facet of life these days make the reality of a very serious pandemic extremely possible. I'm 28 and I think there's a good chance that in my lifetime I will either live through...

Yes, really. Sorry but I'm not the one responsible for the Cubs world series drought. Their choking/sucking over 100 years doesn't mean I, as a baseball fan, cannot also comment on/critique other teams.

Perhaps... but how many World Series did those dominant Braves teams of the 90's win? If we are gonna talk choking...

This is laughable. I encourage you to look at highest win totals by starting pitchers since, say, 2003. Maybe you recognize a few on the list: Roy Halladay, Roy Oswalt, and Carlos Zambrano. And considering the job of a starting pitcher is to put his team in a position to win the game, I'd say...

Braves have no chance this year. Jurrjens is good, but still very young. Lowe is solid. Vasquez is great as long you don't plan on making the playoffs. Talk to the White Sox about that. Cubs rotation is far superior to the Braves. Not even close really.

DT = Jack Nickolson... pretty much just been gettin by the for the last decade impersonating themselves... and seemingly no shame in doing so.

Takes one to know one...

Neal Morse = Rainbows. He has always ruined this potential-laden project for me. Of all the vocalists that could fill the role...

His work on both Mullmuzzler albums and Elements of Persuasion interests me far greater than anything he's done with DT in the last 8 yrs. Oh yeah, and Winter Rose is also better...

1. Power Windows - would kill to see Emotion Detector live. 2. Grace Under Pressure
