...more chins, but Lou looked the same. Murph had shaved his head to mask his baldness, but the the middle-aged rockers wasted no time showing that time had not dulled their edges.Dinosaur Jr.’s sonic assault is total war; bunker-buster riffs penetrated earplugs with sheer volume. The band kicked things off with “Gargoyle,” from their eponymous debut album. J’s guitar and hair swept over the floor as he rocked back and forth, dispelling concerns of old age.

"Come hell or high water," he says, "I'm going to make sure my children have the same holiday magic that I had as a child."

Also, Meg’s giant foot from the future crushes a piano.The first time around, the video is fun to watch for its sheer dizzying surrealistic kick.

Stephen Liddle Napier, New Zealand Perhaps we are looking in the wrong direction for the antidote to violence in the Sunni-dominated areas of Iraq. When Saddam Hussein was in power, he suppressed most resistance through sheer force and an aggressive, overwhelming response to any uprising.
