Great series of interviews with Joe, 11 in all, starting with this one - the best I have seen so far, very informative, from his first days up to PSATMOR. I really like number 9.

Also, Joe & Mick Jagger '88 at my regular pub - got to love the vest....

Death Cube K, I wanna know that too.....c'mon Al.....

I'm playing catch-up again... A few people have asked for more show info from me, but I'll wait until I'm completely caught up before I get back into that...

What's this talk of Joe being a vegetarian? I think I missed a post somewhere, but I see a follow-up comment or two. I don't know if that's true, as I've never heard him mention it anywhere. Also, we've seen a lot of backstage footage on podcasts and webcasts but there's never been any comments about special food or any of that (we haven't seen him chowing down on a burger either, but you know what I mean)...

Also, thanks for an update on a potential acoustic Satch record. I'd love to hear one, but I'd be fine with it still being as far as 10 or 15 years away. I don't know what shape his hands/joints are in, but for the near future I'd like him to stick with his current crazy music. You can play complicated acoustic guitar music when you're 65 or 70, but you can't be playing the tapping sections from Satch Boogie or The Mystical Potato Head Groove Thing every night when you're that age...you know?

And, lastly, thanks for posting that old photo of you and Joe. That's great...haha.

Their rhythm section, especially on those last two songs I mentioned, reminds me of Aerosmith a bit. Very cool. I'll post more after I give it another listen or two...but in the meantime, what album would you recommend next?

Tikimon San:Good on ya T thx if you ever find yourself or need t crash in Barcelona be sure t look us up I,m always up for a workout n jam sesh when poss, preferably followed by a few beers.I figured Dan would be humble the best usually are, i was watching his vids the ther day on YTube, man hes insanely quick t counter his timing is almost unworldly! Bill....what can y say hes an MA legend, helluva stamina the man not t mention that lethal mental left foot!!! christ on a bike its shockinly fast.On his visit t Scotland, I can imagine him well proud being a Wallace & for good reason with William Wallace being our national hero “fae guid blood”as we say.. from good blood... Slan tips hat

SuperDaveMcCarty:NP bud

GG:Awww y got the sniffles hon, I know everytime someone gets the cold everyone has a remedy or cure but have t say..... lots of green veg for the immune system & sex! Get that other half of yours t perform his manly dutys on ya tired or not n don’t worry for havin no energy sometimes its ok t just lay there n play dead lmao

cheese...awesome pictures. I gotta give your son credit. If it were me getting my playing technique analyzed I would have broken under the pressure...lol. Thanks for sharing those..

Why, Mckenna was arrested fer being entirely too cute in the US of course!! lol!!

Yep, I think you could say Chris was a teeeeeeny bit nervous over his time with Joe....I don't know how many times he swallowed...gulped....in the first minute sitting down with him, lol....but Joe has a very calming effect, usually. It's just that this time wasn't just a meet and greet, stand and visit kinda thing, it was OMG I've got my guitar and he's got his and we're gonna play and he's gonna watch me and listen and OMG....yeah...like that, lol!!

***Joe thinkin*** why on earth are people interested in what I eat? .....LOL...

Andy of uk....noooo.....I meant the live vid with Mick J in 1988.........Joe with not much on.......pwoooarrrrrr...........

Al update: I'm meeting him at his hostel at 2 p.m. We'll probably stop by the Guitar Center and then head down to Santa Monica / Venice Beach. Maybe we'll go up to Malibu, too...who knows. I wonder if Al will want to swim back up to Alcatraz.

Anyway, have decisions already been made about next year's crazy T2J meet-up? Pennsylvania? That sounds fun to me. I think this tour might be in larger venues, though, so...michelle, where do the bigger acts play when they come through town? Aerosmith, Van Halen, The Who, etc...

And great call on the Prisoner reference with the balloon photos...haha.

I miss Joe....lol!

Austin, I'm with chelle....it's time fer that smack on the ol' Irish lips, you've hung around with Mc long enough so it won't be awkward :) As to the Crazy Horse, yeah.....we tried selling Al to them but they weren't sure about his Irish accent ;) It's so much fun standing outside a strip club all day, really....although for some reason, this time I dint pay near as much attention to the people coming and going in there, as there were too many funny t2j peeps to talk to! Oh, and the other peoples walking by trying to get money or sell wierd stuff. At least security at the Warfield was good about keeping them movin' on.

Makes ya wonder what Joe thinks when he reads that we're already forming a posse for some ChickenPA gatherings back east....they haven't even finished the studio work yet, lol!

Have fun at the beach...I'm sure there will be a bikini or two to entertain you both fer at least a lil while.....

Oh, and thanks for the podcasts Joe, love em.....hope you keep them coming forever, lol!

Remember how a few days ago Michelle's happy was happy? I hope she's the same today...but...my tired is TARRED!! I'm still on Satchafunkilitis time!
