    "Never Been Any Reason" is a great choice.  My dad and uncle would rock that Head East album whenever my uncle would come home when I was growing up.  Gets played at least 3x a day on Midwestern classic rock stations.

    Yeah, back in high school (early 80s) there was a cover band in our area that played all the current hits, but they would always end their dances with either "China Grove" (that would be good add to the list too) or "Never Been Any Reason".

    Bumping thread....

    Any thoughts on seats in the upper sections?  Have not been to Moody yet, but it seems like it's intimate enough that the 200's wouldn't be too bad?  Yeah, I know, depends on stage setup, but aside from that....   

    Saw the Eagles (I know man... Christmas present from our son to my wife, her bucket list band...) from the 200s, felt plenty close to the stage and sound was impeccable.

  3. I swear I saw another photo of this painting a few days ago, but you couldn't see much of the face, just mainly the finger pointing, because I remember wondering what the full painting looked like (can't find the other one right now...).  If you look at this guy's twitter feed, I think it's a really subtle troll job, case in point:

    For FM newbies, the album "Mystery to Me" is worth checking out.  I know this is not a popular opinion but I always prefered the Bob Welch/Christine McVie vocals to Lindsey Buckingham/Stevie Nicks.

    Agreed.  Just came to post this, rest in peace Christine.

    A while back the sign outside of the DQ in W. Columbia said "Dumplins Is Back." Not sure if that was in reference to the manager or a menu item.

    Was gonna mention, the DQ here in Taylor make s pretty mean chicken 'n' dumplings during the winter months.

    Also, on vacation last summer stopped at a DQ in Moorhead, MN, (right across the river from Fargo) home to the world's largest Dilly Bar.  Been open since 1949, definitely old-school with emphasis on the dairy, only food they have is hot/chili dogs or a bbq sandwich, everything else is ice cream.  It's only open from March thru October.  Pretty cool place.

    An icon of the Fargo-Moorhead area, the Moorhead Dairy Queen is one of the oldest original stores in the entire franchise.

    A visit here is like stepping back into the 1950s. You get to walk up to the window to place your order and then sit outside with your ice cream treats (there’s no indoor seating).

    The day it opens in early spring, lines form around the block – it’s safe to say locals love this slightly retro summer hangout.

    Beyond being adored by the community, the famous Dilly Bar was created at this very location, so of course there’s a giant statue of a Dilly Bar outside to commemorate it.

    It’s still operating under the 70-year-old original franchise contract. That means they have more flexibility in how they operate (for instance, they still pay the original 1949 royalties rate on DQ treats from the corporate warehouse).

    This old school contract also allows owners Troy and Diane DeLeon the freedom to source ingredients from outside providers and to dish out “rogue” menu items you won’t find at other Dairy Queens.

    You won’t find a Monkey Tail (a chocolate-covered frozen banana), a Mr. Maltie (a chocolate malt on a stick), or the Chipper Sandwich (vanilla ice cream sandwiches between two chocolate chip cookies and dipped in chocolate) at any modern Dairy Queen – but you will find them in Moorhead.

    Food-wise, you can also grab a Nathan’s hot dog, a bowl of chili, a large Polish sausage, or the super chili cheese dog from the “Local Menu”.

    And the ice cream cakes? Let the other shops take HQ’s premade cakes; Troy DeLeon assembles his himself.

    For a taste of history (pun intended) and a fun thing to do in Fargo-Moorhead, a stop at the Moorhead Dairy Queen is a must.

    Had he been sick?

    I think he has been ill for a while, MS maybe, something debilitating like that.  Could be wrong, but I think I remember Dale and some of the other DJ’s mentioning it before.
