  1. Well Mitt has his "right" to ignore it - but words and policy matter - hopefully people will react with emotion by going out to vote against his policies, proposals, and words. Like the event that happen in Libya, while a tragedy, President Obama needed and needs to answer for it in the political arena (and I think he has), likewise Romney should with his views on federal relief. It's a bit of a shame that there is not another debate, I would like to the Governor's response. Hopefully the press and perhaps other democratic politicians (like McCain pounding the President on Libya) gets a resp
  2. Obama will get 50.3% and 281 electoral votes. CNN has nice page where you can f around with the Electoral Map. http://www.cnn.com/E...2/ecalculator#_
  3. I am sucker for his 70's output - below is a great comp focusing on it.
  4. I have the below - great comp. Some of my earliest memories is playing nickel/quarter poker with my family and close family friends at their summer cottage in Indiana while listening to cassettes of George Jones. The Essential George Jones: The Spirit of Country
  5. Never was a big fan of that Keane College show - do not enjoy the keyboards.
  6. I think I got a paper copy last year. 70 shows are some of my favorites.
  7. Can't remember if they said they were not sending out a physical copy of the Almanac, kinda hope they continue to send them out. The web/email format is a bit cumbersome to read.
  8. I just finished watching that video - It's great that the cache include 69 and 70 shows. I think I may subscribe this time around - the Dave's Pick 5 seems like a winner. I only purchased 1 of the 4 last time, though. Meant to get DIck's Pick 4, but waited to long - which I guess is no biggie.
  9. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/inside-the-rolling-stones-reunion-20121024 Rolling Stone has an article about the shows - the headline reads "Reunion" - is it really an actual reunion? Perhaps so, if Wyman and Taylor participate, I don't know. The concerts itself doesn't seem like a reunion to me, I don't think they ever disbanded.
  10. Yeah I read the above this morning - good news. Looking forward to the pay-per-view.
  11. I forgot that I had It's Only Rock 'n Roll on my hard drive. Not sure what mastering/version I have, but I forgot how nice it sounded on head phones, especially through my home system. Nicky Hopkins plays his ass off throughout. The Glimmer Twins did a nice job producing, also. The sequence of If You Really Want to be my Friend into Short and Curlies is great.
  12. Well, that didn't take long. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/nationals/ozzie-guillen-fired-as-marlins-manager-after-1-dismal-season-with-team/2012/10/23/68d3360e-1d4c-11e2-8817-41b9a7aaabc7_story.html
  13. Whole album (including album cover) can be a bit scary.
  14. I wasn't familiar with Station Man before I heard in on Rich's record - great, great tune. I haven't listened to his latest CD in a while, need to dig it out. I did go to a Best Buy (looking for the Gov't Mule box set, without any luck) and saw Chris's latest cd, but I didn't buy it. Totally flaked out on CRB's two Chicago shows last month or so - heard the tapes and thought they sounded good.
  15. I always hear "I got you an Atari"
  16. Perhaps it was a bit too snotty. I thought what he said after it was more potent.
  17. That was alright - looked like a Guitar Center acoustic guitar room on the stage.
  18. When I saw them in Chicago, I enjoyed Walk Like A Giant, quite a bit - definitely a "different" type of song. Were the people booing insufferable or the song?
  19. Speaking of the Recovery, I am about finished with the above book. Informative and well written. He writes about all the successes and failures. Did bring up a lot of bad memories,though. Nice interview with author below. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/interrogation/2012/08/the_new_new_deal_a_book_argues_that_president_obama_s_stimulus_has_been_an_astonishing_success.html
  20. That's cool. We need more people moving into the city. Welcome.
  21. The President would - but the Governor's boys would beat him up afterwards, then Michelle would kick all their asses and Mrs Romney will then ride off on her horse.
  22. Hey, I don't like it either, but it's politics and politics is about winning the message at the end of the day. All I am saying is that this Libya issues isn't going away. When it happen, I actually donated some more money to Obama because I figured he was going to need it. Sure, I was thinking of the 4 who died in the attack, but I also was thinking about the campaign - I was making it into a political issue myself. It's a "big f-ing deal" as the Vice President once said about another issue. I don't think making the death of 4 Americans into a political hot potato is necessarily right, b
  23. This morning on XM's P.O.T.U.S., the Republicans were still winning. I think it will not sink the President - I am weary of the issue, though.
