  1. OK, I deleted the other one since voting was going on here. I was slow to find the delete topic option.
  2. Iggy Pop, born 4/21/47 Keith Richards, born 12/18/43 I'm beginning to think the chemicals they have ingested are acting as preservatives.
  3. Any good? Petty was so horrible at the Super Bowl! Then again, it is the Super Bowl.
  4. Wishing well runs wet and dry I wish for things I never had Surrounds and wells up in my eyes The screaming voice, it lies Wishing well gets someone's attention Every wish you ever had In a day of nights, in the darkest of light Sits and cries, watch the lies Could you give me a wish if I tell you what I want? Will the price be no object? I wish for dreams of light I live for wishing well surprise Deepest light, the secret lies Wishing well gives you all that you desire Homes and trains, and the greenest of plains That you ever happened upon The silent wish, it calls you out Calls you
  5. I reminded about once every other month that I'm about the only person born in the 70s who hasn't seen The Goonies.
  6. Point taken, now I feel dumber than Alanis Morrisette.
  7. I thought the rest of the article was better than the last 4 paragraphs. He makes the case that effective diplomacy -- which admittedly, the Bush admin has not been interested in -- requires a lot of hard work in advance. You can't just fly to Tehran or have the president of Iran (I'm too lazy to look up the exact spelling) fly to Washington and meet. Maybe the reason the Bush admin. has turned their back on dimplomacy is exactly because it's hard work.
  8. Ironic, his dad played Reagan in the CBS miniseries a few years back.
  9. Richard Dreyfuss to Play Dick Cheney in Stone's "W" I always thought that his portrayal of the evil Republican in "American President" was based on Cheney. And that was made years before he really became Darth Vader.
  10. Based on the recording I have, I figured it was at the Fillmore. "Color me Impressed" is immediately followed up by "I Wanna be Sedated". There were two setlists that show them being played consecutively and they were 5/9 and 5/10 of '97. Of course, he could've said it more than once. It was true up until ST.
  11. If something like that is going to happen, it's fitting that it was in a Wal Mart parking lot.
  12. Ha. Just an hour or so before I read this, I added a signature to my VC profile that's a Tweedy quote about the 'mats.
  13. I have a horrible OCD habit of forcing myself to finish any book I read. With 3-year-old twins, a full-time job, a part-time job, and my love of movies and music, reading is often on the backburner. Especially when I've started a book like this and I keep telling myself I have to finish it. I really liked Russell Banks' Rule of the Bone and enjoyed, but forced myself to finish Cloudsplitter. This one is a collection of short stories. His stories are so depressing that reading one after another is really depressing. My p/t job is at a bookstore and I keep seeing all these other books
  14. I feel a bit stupid about posting the obvious now. I shouldn't have tainted the sad feelings many feel for Kennedy. I'd delete the original post, but there's too much follow up to it now. Cancer sucks!
  15. I love it. Wasn't disappointed at all. The more I listen to it, the less I think it was a return to their earlier sound. There's a lot of unique sound to this record. I was surprised by the way it sounded. I expected a lot more noise with the addition of Nels.
  16. Can anyone explain the frogs in Magnolia? A plague from God? The apocalypse? To me it was a cheap, artsy way to end this movie of sometimes interesting, but disparate stories. The ending made me hate that movie!
  17. A fascinating documentary about a very bizarre and self-important American sub-culture. Billy Mitchell may be one of the world's biggest jerks of little consequence.
  18. How about baseball's answer to Lance Armstrong?? Lester throws no-hitter against Royals
  19. Star Wars + Freaks & Geeks + Dazed & Confused = It better be good or I'll be damn disappointed!!
  20. I just re-listened to the Night 2 residency show that I also attended. I remembered when they started Monday, that both my brother and I thought they were launching into Rock & Roll All Night. It sounded the same on the NPR Webcast from the 9:30 club. Granted, it's the same chords, but does anyone know if the live version is done in a way to mimic KISS on purpose? Has anyone else noted the similarity?
  21. Absolutely! I'm sure there will be some investigation into her beer distribution firm and any conflict of interest that's caused Sen. McCain. Spouses are probably one of the biggest pitfalls for modern politicians since when? JFK? Every candidate wants their wife to be like Jackie, but few are. On this topic, has Bill been more of an asset to Clinton's campaign or detriment. I think I'd say detriment, but without his presidency, would she even have the name recognition to become a viable candidate.
  22. From my Word Origin calendar today: tupelo - The name of this handsome southeastern tree and fo the Mississippi city where Elvis Presley was born comes from the Creek Indian word topilwa, meaning "thre tree that grows in water." The region is swampy, and the Cree Indians were so called because they made their settlements along flowing streams.
