Sunday Night Football - Yeah, I heard the clip but was never in actual danger of hitting the floor. I was wondering if there was some rethinking going on related to Madonna performing at the Super Bowl.

Did you hear it during the Lions-Saints Sunday Night Football game last night? They played "Takin' it to Detroit" as the bumper music before one of the commercials. I almost fell off the couch!!

Just downloaded 'Tasty' and 'From Rats to Riches'. I heard a quote from Bonnie Raitt about Little Feat that she missed them more than 6th grade, or something like that. I have a similar thought: I miss the Good Rats more than I miss the Fore' N' Aft!

Dave K., unfortunately the interview was called off due to snow; the campus and public roads were closed so Randy could not get to the radio station. Mama Nature has been busy this year.

Even though I do my part every day to make more people listen. It is my goal to make Matt Pinfield play some Good Rats on a radio station WRXP here in Jersey.

Kickass show at the Brewhaus. The youngster drumster really rocked it out. You played for so long and did so many originals, I had a smile on my face all night. Didn't think I would but even liked the covers! See you in the summer, PLEASE!
