  1. The Colbert Report is the funniest show on television!
  2. You live with straights who tell you you was king Jump when your momma tell you anything The only thing you done was yesterday And since you're gone you're just another day
  3. Alongside Dawn Of The Dead, Fritz The Cat, Rocky Horror & PF @ Pompeii, TSRTS ruled the midnight movie rotation at our local Northwood Hills 4 Theater. Thinking about it again, I remember liking the fantasy sequences. Bonzo's was my favorite.
  4. i guess on first glance outsider art does appear as if "anyone could do it". I have a friend who paints on boards, applies a newspaper clipping picture and then writes words (lyrics, poems, etc.) over the whole thing. Looks easy, however there is something unexplained going on with it. He is able to capture something I never could. He's not insane (although some might question that!), but I understand your point. Seems someone got a monkey to paint random things on paper and called it art. I guess if it pleased the eye, evoked somekind of emotion and could be displayed in yer living room, it w
  5. It's just for fun Louie - It really doesn't mean anything
  6. sorry, I can't seem to link to the article I was wanting to put here and the link to the equation goes to the bottom of the page. Maybe this..............related article
  7. Finally, we can determine if a band is really "Selling Out". Calculate using the Moby Equation By my calculations (subjective), Wilco received a 175.82 for their VW commercial.
  8. All time favorites..........IN ORDER! The Beatles The Kinks Jimi Hendrix Led Zeppelin The Rolling Stones The White Stripes The Pretenders Elvis Costello Beck Prince Frank Zappa Pink Floyd Neil Young Bob Dylan Buddy Holly The Ramones Jeff Beck Johnny Cash Roy Orbison The Who
  9. Exactly llynnowens! This concept applies also to musicians as well. Take Daniel Johnston, for instance.
  10. While visiting my brother in Atlanta, he took us to Finster's place. Although by 2000, the garden had been "picked over" by an Atlanta museum, there were still enough things there to keep one fascinated several hours as we strolled around the property. His family had taken over things by then and although Mr. Finster was present during our tour, he was too ill to emerge from the house. We bought a wooden cutout of a Cadillac and hoped that it was indeed Howard who painted it. Again, an over-the-top circumstance existed in that he claimed to have been asked by God in a vision to paint 5000 pi
  11. It's hard to imagine this lady living her entire married life in a house that was only 10X10 ft. It seems that whenever an outdoor artist is discovered/recognized, some over-the-top circumstance exists. The stories seem to uplift the images into something far more precious than one could appreciate at first glance. The house is incredible! Thanks for the tip.
  12. Something and Here Comes The Sun are the two best songs on Abbey Road and can stand up against ANY Beatle song as two of their very best. I think the songwriting slump for paul was already in effect in '69 Maxwell's Silver Hammer - Oh! Darling BOOOORRRRRIIIING!
  13. Not that he was my choice, but I found it odd that in early 1971 Ringo's It Don't Come Easy outsold Lennon's Power to the People, Paul McCartney's Another Day and Harrison's Bangladesh, all released about the same time. Also....George's All Things Must Pass outsold Lennon & McCartney's first solo albums at the time of their release. Looking back now, Paul has certainly enjoyed the most lucrative career out of the four. However, he must have been quite pissed off back in the early stages of the post-breakup.
  14. Big fan of guys like Howard Finster and R.A. Miller.
  15. Thanks for the youtube link!!!! Great song I'm needing some new music, so on the shopping list he goes.
  16. Damned if ya do damned if ya don't! The girl getting attacked did ok with just holding the other chick's hair and riding this thing out. Had she gotten the better of her, I'm sure the other girls would have jumped in. BTW, CABG ain't that bad.......try some Orthopaedic cases my friend, now that is brutal, even though it is helpful for the patient.
  17. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned You Really Got Me. Now that's Rock and Roll!!! Wilco fans should certainly enjoy Face To Face, Village Green, Lola vs Powerman, Musewell Hillbillies and Arthur. Maybe even Misfits. I like Tweedy's version of Oklahoma, USA.
  18. I hope you had a pleasant experience.
