I remember them!

He's touring with John Mellencamp and Dylan! I'm seeing him at The Gorge here in Washington State.

I saw Joni there last year with Brandi Carlisle. JoniJam.

Funny - I saw Joni, Dylan, and Van Morrison there like 25 years ago. Whenever I thought about it, it seemed unbelievable - too great to be true. Did I dream it? Then Joni talked about it! I got to tell everyone around me it was true!

There were people there from all over the world to see her first live concert on 20 years!

We will camp there. It took 2+ hours to get out of the parking lot - got home @ 4. I live about 3 hours away. They played till @ 11!

He starred in one of the best episodes of Miami Vice, circa 1985, where he played an old-and-dying, tough-as-steel Texas Ranger out for revenge.

The episode was called "El Viejo." (Old man)
