The last verse of Monkey Wrench wins for longest, sustained, tuneful, understandable scream in rock history.

Sweet!

I totally understand that sentiment. At least they have a good chance for the wild card if that don't win the division. The Twins have tanked w/ no safety net.

Panic?

Oops. I looked at our next opponent, not the date. Thanks! I assume you're a White Sox fan. I really thought Carlos Quentin's bone-headed stunt would end up paying dividends for the Twins, but they certainly haven't taken advantage.

Now to teams who have a chance to make the playoffs. The Twins & White Sox have a huge series indoors starting today. The Twins will need to sweep to have any chance. They've stepped up before against the Sox. It'll be hard to do w/o an emotional leader like Hunter.

8 sacks for Philly? After the way the Eagles D played against Dallas last week, I'd be worried about the Steelers' offensive line.

I hate the Yankees, but respect the legacy that Yankee Stadium represents to the game of baseball. RIP, house that Harry Frazee built.

Tim Russert is smiling somewhere. Glad my guys finally got a win today. It's been troubling. It seems since Childress (offensive genius, supposedly) came aboard, the Vikings only win when their defense scores. It was a great defensive score today.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I did.

Just finished watching Neil Young's Farm Aid set. He closed w/ "A Day in the Life". Well done, sir! Ch. 334 on DirecTV is showing it live an rerunning it all weekend.

I hope you've discovered Ben Webster if you like that kind of sound. He used to play w/ Ellington. I have 2 of his own albums featuring Oscar Peterson on piano: Soulville, and Ben Webster meets Oscar Peterson. Both are great.

Funny. Not as funny as I was hoping. Eddie Vedder puts in one of the best cameos since Brett Favre in There's Something About Mary.

2 things I like about your post. "Recognize myself in others". I think that's what drove me the most to Bob Mould in the late 80s early 90s. Alslo, I've been listening to "Here Comes the Sun" about every other day because I put it on a mix for my kids. The handclaps in that are great.

I agree with these sentiments. For some reason, I've been trying to figure out how or why it happens. Maybe it's because every once in a while, I find myself singing a Wiggles song my kids like. I think, in that regard, it comes down to some fun pop hooks and good harmonies.

I've been pondering this question a lot recently. Especially as it relates to rock, etc. For example, I like a lot of Built to Spill music, but Doug Martsch's voice grates on me a bit, so I don't listen to them a lot. I'm going to try to quantify the components that go into making a rock song in the order of importance to me. Feel free to dissect, correct, ignore. 1. Songwriting Considering both music and lyrics here. There has to be an interesting lyric and good melody to back it up. I think Rush, for example, is a band of great musicians, but not great songwriters. They have some

You acknowledged a belief about God. The theists win! Game, set, match!
