I love it. Halal shops tend to have the most tender cuts

Have never had it. Different cuts like steaks?

Enjoyed the Kinks. He got some love from Sue Sheehan tho.

first ever concert

Not familiar with Rich Williams, but I agree with all the rest.
- Rliable

Williams was the lead guitarist for the band Kansas.

Rewatch the late season games against Pittsburgh (matched against Crosby line much of the game) and St. Louis. They were buzzing.
- bmeltzer

I don’t think anyone should take anything from that last Pittsburgh game. It was almost as if Crosby and Malkin didn’t care or forgot how to play hockey.

Rock guitarists who get consistently underrated:

Robin Trower
Alex Lifeson

Rich Williams
Andy Summers
Randy Rhoades
Steve Hackett

IMO goat is superior to lamb. It’s lean with less fat and higher in protein than any other meat. It’s naturally tougher than lamb. So you have to slow cook it. Smoking is best. If the goat is fresh,it’s sweet and gamey.

Sorry but it matters not what torts gets this group to buy into.


Top end and elite talent is first step.


It’s all moot when there’s no hope of getting top end or elite talent.

Agreed. The only hope they have is getting a top 3 pick in the draft. I hope they blow it all up at the trade deadline but anyone they have of value has untradable contracts (coots, hayes, atkinson)

- SuperSchennBros

That's on the Penguins, who did still have something to play for -- holding off Caps to stay above wildcard. If they embarrassed Crosby and company in that game, good for the side that came to play.

Given that the ship has sailed on your second point, your first point is what is important this season.

I know that the Flyers QO was $990,000.

I havent been able to find out what MacEwen's ask is but my guess is that it's in the Deslauriers range but slightly lower. Say 1.4 or 1.5?

As Minnyhock mentions, goat can be very gamey. They are skittish animals who need to run around. As such, they have a lot of muscle on their bodies and less fat. For the same reason, they are more common in very warm climates. They also produce less meat than you think from the body (like goose).

As such, they are usually slow cooked to tenderize the meat. Goat is incorrectly called mutton in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia. There the cslow cooking is either in the form of a stew (curry/kurri) or marinated and cooked buried in rice (biryani). Througout that region, you also see fresh goat carcasses hung up in markets where consumers point to the part of the animal they want the cuts from. Other than that (to answer your question), in this country i have never seen goat meat be selectable by cuts except in a couple of places in the middle of very ethnic neighborhoods (Queens). Usually they are available as precut cubes with bone in.

That south asian tradition of cooking goat travcelled via the Brits to the parts of the caribbean they colonized: Jamaica/Barbados/Granada /Trinidad etc. The parts of the Carribean where British influence was not so strong/Spanish influence was stronger (Honduras/Dominican Republic/Cuba) also slow cook (in smoke pits ovens), but here the tradition seems to be to shred the meat (like pulled pork) and serve it in some kind of dough (tacos/burritos/empanadas etc).

If you want the former kind, many Indian restaurants in the area serve goat biryani/vindaloo (a very spicy curry influenced by the Portuguese who used vinegar in that dish, the sound of which was bastardized as vindaloo). However food of that genre in in this region is pretty average.

There is however a tremendous Indonesian restaurant in Philadelphia, possibly the best restaurant of any kind here, called Hardena, at Hicks and Morris I think. They make an Indonesian signature dish called Gulai Kambin, but it is not there on the menu every day. Need to call ahead. (That restaurant, btw, is so authentic that about a decade ago, when Indonesian dignitaries visited NY, the embassy sent a limo there to pick up food from Hardena's). Their gulai kambin meat just melts off the bones, it is so tender.

The Spanish Carribbean tradition is probably best manifested in South Philly Barbacoa. They only serve barbacoa over the weekend though I believe, and lines form starting at 6 AM or so. It is a nationally famous restaurant now, and featured in many food blogs etc so a legit tourist spot. Having said that, your close bud Black Hand thinks it is overrated.

I think they are talking more influential than talent with him...
Do you remember the old interview where he had full body capacity blood transfusions so he would be legal to tour ( no drug in his system--was it smack??)

Somehow I think the article missed the connection to BB King from the WWII and post WWII era. The roots of the modern electric blues style... without Charlie Christian who died of TB too damned young in 1942 and then T Bone Walkers influence BB and the others don't really develop the same

I read in an earlier blog that you opened for Mick Taylor in mid 80s at the troc. Majors props, man.

You may be aware of what I am about to mention already, but as a transplant to the area, I have always been curious about its history. The most evocative history I have read of the music of the region was written by a very good friend of a friend of mine:

https://www.amazon.com/Ho...Bruises-All/dp/1935950207

(apparently, in the late 70s/early 80s, punk in Philly was heavily male dominated. If there was a girl in the band (as in the case of the author), she would invariably do double duty as the coat check girl. Hence the title)

I see you had a good nights sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Interesting..anything in there about the Hot Club around 21st and South? It was the primary punk club and I saw Brian Setzer there with the Bloodless Pharohs...The L&I guy who used to go in there told me he had to write them up all the time for the sinks being broken off the walls due to them being used for quickies.

If we're just talking shredding/technical ability, there are literally thousands of guitarists out there who could play circles around many of the guys on this list. The world is simply chock full of talented, accomplished guitar players.

Performance, writing, style/image, innovation, message and just plain good luck (right place, right time, around the right people) have probably a greater impact on who's remembered and who's not than virtuosity.

I think that's what a list like that is trying to capture.

One of the difficulties in comparing guitarists and why lists tend to be all over the place imo is because most rock musicians mostly play their/their band's songs. Comparison is not just across different people - it is across different compositions.

In classical music, the opposite is true. Every serious classical pianist, for instance, plays a repertoire which has been played by scores of other prominent musicians. Comparisons become easier, and interpretation is a key facet (other than what you wrote). For example, the canadian pianist Glenn Gould has some of the most defining recordings of Bach. But is universally acknowledged to suck at playing Beethoven. Not because of technique, but because of interpretation.
