Same about DMB.
Now I listen to Live From Central Park, because I was there. 5 people back. Maybe the best show I've seen, not just DMB, and I have a really eclectic taste in music.

Bleed by Meshuggah...because no band should be able to pull that off live, and yet they do.

LP. Undertow came out in 1993.
Opiate was 1992 (although most of Undertow had already been written; record company would only give them an EP).
It's in the song...

Reply to As a female, Why do I tend to mostly listen to female artist more than I do male artist. I wonder why?? by Pingzoot
I'm female and I listen to almost all male artists. It's probably a genre thing (prog rock is my drug of choice), and there are definitely female artists I admire and love / will listen to, but I think it's just preference.

That would factor into the certification process if it did. Red dye is all natural, but it often has additives to make it stay red (especially in the baking process) so that has to be checked for verification before certification, just like every other ingredient.
There are kosher red dyes.

You're right.
Locusts would kill crops, so the Torah permitted eating them in order to prevent them from doing so.

Kashrut (Kosher law) says you cannot eat insects under any circumstances. You cannot mix dairy and meat either, but insects of all kinds (except locusts) are always forbidden.
Halal is conditional: if you are starving and have no food access or it falls into your food, you can eat it. You can mix dairy and meat.
*Vegans, I would think, would be appalled by eating insects, but something being vegan doesn't make it kosher or halal. Those certifications must be done under rabbinical supervision. Halal has Imams or people trained to perform such certification do supervision/inspection of products. There are also other rules and restrictions to be kosher / halal.
*I say vegans would be appalled because as a vegetarian, just knowing rennet and certain enzymes exist in cheese makes me avoid most cheeses. But insects?! Also just being vegan has nothing to do with Jews or Muslims who keep strict dietary laws for religious purposes. Unless it has a kosher certification (and sometimes only from OU / Union of Orthodox Rabbis or a rabbi they know) won't touch it. If no Halal marker is present, Muslims will look for a Kosher certification (but also read the label to make sure no alcohol was used).
Source: Jewish, kosher, and was a chef / food buyer who worked with both rabbis and imams for certification. Also have my BA in History, Judaic Studies, and a minor in Islamic Studies.
Edit: locusts

And now we get the opinions of randos on the internet who post thoughts instead of facts.

Rush.
I couldn't stand Geddy Lee's voice enough to appreciate their musicianship. Plus there were some parts in their discography from the 80s and 90s where I really couldn't stand the band as a whole, despite friends trying to cram them in my ear holes.
What changed was really "I Love You Man" and I was like...I need to listen to them again. I started at the beginning of their discography and worked my way through. Still will pass on a lot of songs, but overall, they are incredible musicians, and that just can't be denied.
Helps that I'm a prog rock fan in general.

It was a wild day / night.
I was also at the MSG show where James Brown came out and played Sex Machine. I was at the 4/20/02 with the 32 minute #41 (with Bela Fleck & The Flecktones). 11th row dead center. Unbelievable.
They really put on one great show.
Anyway, spiral out and all that.
