Isn't that the hometown of Axl Rose and the late Shannon Hoon of Blind melon?

The guitar riff on "Its All Downhill from Here" is one of my all-time faves. The lyrics are pretty funny as well.

Being a sometimes customer of The Bing, AKA Satin Dolls, I could easily say that remodeling that place would indeed take a long time!

Compared to those two, no he isn't very rich, but he does OK. When i worked as a booking agent, Roger was one of our clients at the time and he does get a nice fee for his performances. Unfortunately, many of the Byrds biggest hits were written by Dylan or Gene Clark.

You are correct. In fact, The Beatles did "Helter Skelter" as a sort of inside joke to prove that they could be as loud and as heavy as bands like Cream and The Who.

Are you sure it wasn't Merle Haggard? He wrote the song and I'm not sure if Waylon ever recorded it, but I could be wrong. The song was also a Grateful Dead staple as well.

Here's another reason to be skeptical about Obama's relationships: http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/b...bctid1509297894

I met Bruce once, and if Danny was anything close to the guy Bruce was, the world will miss him dearly.

I think Pacino actually sucked in that movie. "Whoo-aaa". I thought the movie sucked too.

Heat was a good flick, but it suffered from DeNiro/Pacino hype. My favorite scene is the one with the blue-print Pacino overacting: They are interrogating Hank Azaria and out of nowhere Pacino yells "I bet she's got a greaaaaaaat ass". It seems so inappropriate and I crack up every time I see that scene. I think Al Pacino has totally lost it. He doesn't even act anymore. he just shows up in his black suit and yells. Long story short: DeNiro. Mean Streets, Taxi Driver, Deer Hunter, Godfather II, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, jackie Brown, King of Comedy, the very underrated The Score, This Boys

I read an article that explained that after the primaries, the democratic nominee would most likely receive a 10-point boost in any poll vs. McCain, plus its too early for these types of polls. That being said, i would love to see Rice on the ticket. She is quite possibly the worst head of the NSA ever and one of the worst Sec. of State. I would love to see her defend the "Al Queda determined to attack inside the US" memo that was on her desk in August 2001 that she consequently ignored.

Did anyone see "The Night Of Too Many Stars" on CC the other night? I was flipping through and I caught Chris Rock and Steven Wright together doing each others jokes. Steven Wright doing Chris Rock jokes was hilarious.

I second that. I saw him on the Grown Backwards tour and it was great. I really enjoy his solo work as much as I do the talking heads.

This is not true. Iran is helping arm and fund Shia Militias. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia is helping to fund and arm the Sunni Militias, with US money! If anybody wants to get the scoop Iran's influence in Iraq, pay attention to CNN reporter Michael Ware, a crazy-fuck Australian who has been in Iraq from day one. he has a lot of insight/ That being said, an attack on iran would be a bigger mistake than invading Iraq. In fact, the best and wisest course of action for US policy in Iraq would be to work with the Iranian government, since they have much more influence than the US does. Many

I don't consider Led Zep, Deep Purple or Black Sabbath as metal but rather predecessors to metal. Therefore my voye would go to Metallica and Iron maiden. Although Dokken (rhymes with Rockin'!) have a place in my heart! And AC/DC is not metal at all. They are rock and roll to the bone.

Good call, Walken. I know Jenny a little bit. She's a hell of a songwriter.

Bee Gees - Tragedy (great melody, and because "To Love somebody" has been voted for many times) Beach Boys- Good Vibrations (would usually be "God only Knows", but not today) Kinks- You Really Got Me (that still rocks and it was recorded in what, 1965?)

I disagree. Having played baseball into my 20's I've been on some teams that had managers that just rubbed people the wrong way, and those teams usually do not play well, and thats not even in a 162 game schedule. In the X's and O's aspect of the game, the manager probably wins/loses 5-10 games a year. But as far as staying focused and fresh, and staying out of prolonged slumps and losing streaks during the course of a long season, I believe a managers presence, demeanor and leadership has a great deal to do with how a team plays.

If you took the entire spectrum of music in the entire world and placed them all in a row, The Black Keys and The White Stripes would be placed right next to each other. In the grand scheme of things in the musical world, the SOME similarities are more common, and far outweigh the minor differences. Guitar and Drums. Blues-based rock. Its pretty similar compared to, say, Marvin Gaye or The Carpenters or Bach.

Five releases from a guy who hasn't put out one good one yet. He has a couple of good songs, and a few a really good songs. The last song I heard of his was "Diamond Ring" and I almost laughed myself right off the road. I went to a job interview about 6 years ago for a management company and they were pouring all kinds of money into this guy. They sent me home with a CD, and by the time I got home, i knew if i took that job I wouldn't have it for long.

Like I said, I am not all that familiar with The Black Keys, but they definitely share that common blues thread with the White Stripes. The 2 piece band can be limiting to a core sound. I'm not sure its coincidental either, The BLACK Keys and the WHITE Stripes. "Attack and Release" is a good record and I will definitely check out some of the other records mentioned here.
