Recorded Friday, Sept 26th, after the 1st Presidential Debate btwn Obama & McCain.

Location: The Royal Windsor Pub, in Oakville, Ontario, Canada

We were playing to have a little pre-game show, but everyone was having such a good time we never got around to it . . . so, after almost everyone had left — just the hardcore’s remained — and by fluke I had the camera, and Ben Stiller just happened to have come, so I gave him the camera and he did a great job!

It has all sorts of autographs in it of people who were at Woodtsock ‘69, many of them “To Brian” 

I am that Brian, and have been looking for it since it disappeared in NYC in 1982. 

If you have the book, or have ever seen it, please let me know.  Reward!

Ask him to tell you the story someday about when the two of us climbed the “Hollywood Sign” in LA in the ’90s with his ubiquitous Heinekens in tow, hilarious! (I even have digital film of it–I should post it someday). Or the week we spent in Amsterdam with Carolyn! They were inducting my father Neal and his friend Jack Kerouac into their “Hall of Fame. (I’m told I had a good time, ha ha).

Brian pretty much ruled Woodstock ‘94.  And wasn’t he like the only guy in New York to sneak into ground zero?

We had an amazing New Hampshire primary escapade – seven candidates in 12 hours – four years ago – ask him about the Al Franken tussle at the Howard Dean speech …

GO OBAMA!

-John Grady

[EDIT:  Thanks for the reminder!  I added the Franken Fracas to the politics section.]

Rock on!  Hassett rules!!  And yeah it’s about time the world figured this out…

I’m going to see Donovan tonight …Remember Brian getting us backstage at Carnegie Hall to meet him?

While we are reminiscing about our favorite Brian stories did I ever tell you guys the story about how I met this fine fellow? It was at the Toronto premiere of Festival Express and it became quickly apparent that Hassett was the guy to know when I saw him hanging with the star of the film, promoter Kenny Walker. When the film ended, we all headed for post film pints to the roof of The Pilot, where Walker launched into an amazing retrospective of the event, telling us all the inside stories that didn’t get told in the film and answering all of my hundreds of questions without batting an eye, like the one about how Robbie and Levon thought they were too big to actually travel on the train and decided to fly to the shows, while Danko made the right decision and got annihilated on the train….

That was a real memorable night indeed. Thanks for making the introduction Brian!!

When it comes to hockey, waterfalls and American politics, nobody is more passionate than Hassett!!!

I met Brian in 1980 at NYU.  I was on the other side of the this big courtyard party listening to the music, when he put U.S. Blues on the speakers.  The next day we went to the Dead movie and he snuck beers in for us.  I, from the burbs, was taken aback, but, “Yes, I’ll have one of those.”  Then, we spent the next four years in various fun at NYU and road trips and things. 

Someday soon, I’ll board a plane or train or something and get my butt to Toronto, it’s been a while.
