Somehow over the last 2 years or so I’d forgotten how good Dave Matthews Band is live- stale setlists and weak performances tend to do that. However, apparently all you have to do is just add in a little Tim Reynolds to any Dave Matthews recipe in order for it to be a success. We had a great time last weekend and we wish we were hitting up a few more shows, but such is life. Here’s #40 - the first time played full band in over a decade - from Saturday night’s show:
As anyone who might be reading this probably already knows, Willie Randolph was fired yesterday under some interesting circumstances. Jon Stewart gives his recap of the events and provides a secret recording of the actual firing:
The Mets may have needed a change, but no matter what you thought of his managerial style and decisions Willie deserved better than this. Here’s hoping he gets another opportunity somewhere else fairly soon.
Well if you read this site (or bartstew.com) with any regularity you know that it’s me. Maya Theresa was born at 2:13am on June 8th and she has a lifetime of spoilage ahead of her. And honestly, look at this picture - how could you not spoil a kid as adorable as her? She even has a Bartley nose! Beautiful… now Matt and Rachel can start the hard part, with occasional breaks provided by Uncle Chris and Tita Carmy.
Interesting sidenote- Maya’s birthday coincides with Carm’s sister Bella’s birthday. It also now coincides with the exact day I realized the Mets are nothing but a joke of a team. Good times, Maya! Maybe you’ll see the Mets win a World Series sometime in your lifetime if they’re even halfway good enough for you to care about them. Whatever the case may be just don’t be a Yankee fan, please!
