Re: So what have you bought lately?
Are we buying the 08 champagne hype? I’m hearing best-since-1996.
Prices for bubbly are much, much better in Europe. I might have to bring some back.

Huge, huge Dylan fan. He's my desert-island musician.
But I've seen him in concert 3 times (all in the 90's) and each show was a big letdown, two of them were downright bad (short, mumbly, low-energy).
