fth does this mean?

[A] fan participant - Bennett Hayes of Brimfield, Ill., - will be asked to “call a shot” before the finals. Hayes will indicate which part of the stands - left, center or right - he thinks one of the participants can reach. Using a new red ball, the two finalists will attempt to smack it into that general area.

seriously, everytime i go there the site crashes my computer.

it doesn’t load correctly, and it’s rather hard to post a comment. If there is no good free information, i’ve got no use for it. I just wait for Matt Jones to steal his info and post it over there.

by Caleb on Jul 14, 2008 9:18 PM EDT up 0 recs

for the most part, i don't listen to stuff from this decade.

it’s about a song from 1970, and its subsequent recordings.

what song?

by Gray on Jul 14, 2008 9:20 PM EDT up 0 recs

Here's my question!

according to wikipedia the song “Friend of the Devil” (Grateful Dead) has been covered many times. However, they don’t list very many people who covered it. From my research I’ve found that it has been done by the Counting Crows and Lyle Lovett, and played in concert by Tom Petty.

My question is, who else has covered this song, and did Tom Petty release a version of it on an album?
