Happy dueling Birthdays, you two wonderful people. Thanks for all that you are and all that you do.

Did Little Richard make the list. Because he hates being left off lists, is all.

Ah. So your saying InDemand is being passed over. Got it. I guess I can't gripe too much, as I still have the option to purchase from DirecTV (and mlb.tv for that matter). I feel for the folks who cannot get DirecTV for whatever reason. Unless you're a current and happy DirecTV customer and/or in the local market of "your" team, it's a bum deal all around.

MLB distributes the games. They distribute them to the cable/DirecTV companies for a fee. They distribute them to the local markets, like NESN for the Red Sox, too. What this does is give DirecTV exclusivity. I suppose they(DirecTV) could pimp it out to other cable networks, as well, if the deal goes down.

I've read figures such as this: that MLB EI has about 3/4 million subscribers and that about 1/2 million of those are DirecTV customers already. Assuming taht 1/2 the remaining customers jump ship to DirecTV, MLB is screwing a pretty small number of fans: 100,000 or so. I'd assume it's financially benficial to them as they are in the process of striking a $700 million deal for 7 years. MLBs other angle is that they still offer access to open-market games through the mlb.tv. So the onus of watching the games (or at least having access to them) falls on the customer and not MLB, as they still

I believe mlb.tv is around $80/season. I've read that John Malone is involved in this thing, too. It's looking like a mega-deal in the works. My computer is down in the basement at home. I'm not spending the season in the basement watching games. Plus, the resolution on the games is fairly lame. Especially on bigger t.v.s. The shitty part is, the more I've thought about this the past week, the more I've inched closer to switching to DirecTV soley to obtain the package. I hate having to cave in, but pondering a season relying solely on espn and Fox for games frightens me.

I agree. Why so many votes for this? Not that anybody really needs to justify what they dig and what they don't, but I hear "Millionaire" as more of a spoken work throw in at shows. It's a short muttering to these ears. I don't even think of it as a song, really. Is it the that he swears in it?

Sorry to hear about your dog. Been through it, too, so I empathize with you. It's rough stuff. Your dog lived a nice long life, though, and is probably running crazy and eating steak with all the other dogs right about now. We had to put an amazing yellow Lab down about 5 years ago who had lost most abilities in his hind legs and shit/pissed on himself a few times. Humiliating for him as a proud ol' boy. I think I've spewed this before, but, well....you asked: We opted for euthanasia. The vet came over to the house(we had been talking to him about it for a week or so) and we had him lay i

Quick question: Any of y'uns know where I might find the other thread regarding this issue?

Most Sox single-game tix will go on sale this Saturday, Jan. 27 through phone and redsox.com orders on line: http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/ne...sp&c_id=bos

I wonder if he'll now consider to run in the Kentucky Derby. Ka-POW!

Ah. I honestly never even clicked on the fornicating savage's website/link. Babs may very well be on there.

Don't you mean Barbara Striesand?

Ditto. Plus, how does Hendrix' "Star-Spangled Banner" not even make the list?

You all are overreacting. I think the gentleman is using the word "gay" in the old sense. These bands make kids happy. Try not to read too much into it.

Very good book. The kind of book that you'll recall/remember parts of down the road. At least I do.

I'll second this guy for the 2/3 - 7/8 age range, as he's the best of the kid novelty acts. Not too obnoxious and the songs are definitely bearable. However, for a four-month old baby I wouldn't suggest subjecting yourself to any of the schtik-y stuff until absolutely necessary. Give the baby some classical music/lullaby shit and call it a day.

Young kids will like pretty much whatever you tell them to like, so really....your choice.

Good call, here. I believe there are two versions on the demo tape, and I prefer the first of the two. I'd say it's up there with a tie for "Don't You Honey Me, Honey Bee" for myself.

As well as: March 5 & 6 - Congress Theatre / Chicago, IL March 10 - Avalon / Boston, MA March 11 - Orpheum / Boston, MA ( March 14 - Roseland Ballroom / New York, NY) March 16 - Electric Factory / Philadelphia, PA March 17 - Roseland Ballroom / New York, NY

Horrible news for anybody who gets MLB Extra Innings and doesn't have DirecTV: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/20/sports/b...amp;oref=slogin I don't have satellite and like my current digital service. I've also been an EI subscriber for the past 5 years. I've really, really enjoyed being able to watch roughly 140-50 Red Sox games per year and listening to the home-team announcers all while living a few thousand miles away. I've been getting increasingly fed up with MLB over the years (most recently with the Saturday black outs due to Fox) and this could very well be the icing on the cak

Side note: she's the feature in the new Relix (Feb./March issue).

The re-lease has a bunch of bonus live stuff she did during a radio station stint that's very decent, as well. Louie, why do you seek the earlier version of this great album?

Trot's been a favorite for awhile, but really, he's been injured a lot the last 4-5 years. There's really not a place for him this year with Pena, and assuming the Drew thing eventually materializes. He got a decent deal with Cleveland but I'm assuming he'll be platooning there, which is pretty much what he's done in Boston the last few years with all the injuries.

So with Courtney owning the rights and having ultimate control over the production/final cuts we're supposed to believe it'll be based on fact and not her skewed interpretations to make her look great? Okay. She should get Ed Norton to play Kurt, too.
