WAY too much information. ...but yeah, I don't like that "Ultra" stuff much either.

I blame Bush.

Perhaps it was. But I still suspect it was considerably rarer. That's not even necessarily a slam on the Bush administration. 9/11 changed everything, and who's to say a Democratic administration wouldn't be doing the same thing?

Who are the Titans? I don't remember them.

I suspect that it was considerably rarer.

Yes, and Lansbury's pouring that scotch because she already lost everything.

Probably the most underrated Zeppelin album.

I've been trying to tell people that for years. Seriously, human extinction sounds like a great thing to me. And it can't come soon enough.

As has been said, more or less, by others here already, I don't feel the religion itself is the problem -- it's the twisting of religion by evil pigfuckers that is the problem. I am not religious myself -- I have no use for it personally. But I do believe, for instance, that Jesus was a great man and a charismatic teacher, and that he wanted the best for humanity. Unfortunately, his teachings have been bastardized and turned into a source of wealth and power and a foundation for hatred by people like Pat Robertson, to name just one very prominent example. To me, Robertson is the epitome of t

This attempt to sabotage the Geneva Conventions is one of the stupidest things Bush and his cronies have ever done -- and that's saying something. What flabbergasts me is that a lot of people actually support them on this issue. Hello, don't you idiots understand what this will mean for U.S. troops? Torture doesn't work anyway -- it yields unreliable information. But I guess that's no different from the information the Bushies use to make most of their other policy decisions, so why should they care?

U2 - "October" (duh)

I got it for 60 ... but the discs were a little scuffed. Played and ripped fine, though.

"Far Post" being one of the best ... sadly that was only ever released on the "White Nights" soundtrack -- which I finally broke down and bought because I wanted that song so badly. Why not just spring for the ten-disc box set that includes remasters of every album? I just did that a few months ago, rather than purchasing all the remastered versions individually to replace my older ones.

For those of you who don't already know about it, I just wanted to post this from the Michigan page of the NORML site: I really should be getting high every night with a law like that.

{{{{{vibes}}}}} (I know how much this sucks. Hope it's nothing too serious and/or expensive, ES.)

Thank you for doing your part to prevent '80s "fashion" from making a comeback.

I think I have to get one of these for my niece.

I don't know that they've ever been a proper band (it's very much Mike Viola's project), so a crappy live show wouldn't surprise me. The first two studio albums (Falling Into Place and Play With Your Head) are fantastic.

Hard to rank 'em, as I tend to go through different phases with Zeppelin. Currently, I'd put them in this order: Houses of the Holy Physical Graffiti I III Presence II IV In Through the Out Door

...and why he just can't wait to get there ... again.

I believe he was involved in the writing, yes (along with Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne, if I recall correctly), and I think he also sang the lead vocals for the "Jimmy" character. His own work doesn't sound much like that.
