I had better not find any 672 area code phone numbers on my phone bill, or my kids are gonna be extremely grounded. Has anyone else noticed how there's a very weird reverse echo in here? By the way, a duck's quack doesn't echo, and no one knows why. Spooky.

You sound like somebody who would really enjoy Shana Alexander's book, "The Astonishing Elephant". Full of great historical accounts and amazing facts, a fantastic read.

Congratulations, Lou! That sounds like a huge improvement, with a lot more independence to it. I hope the new position is peaceful and satisfying.

I think Jeff just hopes that, sometimes, the music speaks for itself. "Explaining it" in interviews probably gets old.

Helluva price.

Wow, that's a pretty exhaustive listing! But as exhaustive as it is, it doesn't list the UT "Give Back the Key to my Heart" promotional single I have on Sire....would that be because it's promo only, I guess? It's the Anodyne version.

Fritz, I'm late as usual, but it's never too late for cake, right? Here's to you! Have a great new year of life!

I appreciate your faith in me.

Interesting.

That poster's beautiful.

If you can pull this off, I call tambourine. Not that I have the slightest sense of rhythm.

"Late Greats" is a protest against the current state of radio. Might work for your purposes.

I like "Shake It Off".

On a more serious note, Kyjygyfyf, this sort of question is inappropriate and disrespectful of the band's privacy. Please, let's leave them just a little respectful personal space...we may be fans, but that doesn't give us rights to every aspect of their personal lives. And yes, I'm going to close this thread.

This is the best advice you're gonna get. The cat is a dead giveaway.

Yes, in some cases. And please note: it was not a question of whether the topic had been fully explored, as this discussion might have gone on much longer, with new voices adding opinions. It was that the topic wasn't even the topic anymore, and had degenerated completely into meaningless random postings. It's rare for a topic to need to be "put down", but this one needed some common sense applied.

I can't expand or improve upon Gogo's response (thanks for stepping up, Maudie, as I wasn't around). She stated all my reasons for closing that, and with a lucidity that always impresses. The thread had long since simply degenerated into meaninglessness. As for the topic itself, if there remains interest, there's no reason it can't be discussed (although it's my personal opinion that the thing is utterly played out).

Only too glad to help, Robert. Your own generosity has rebounded upon you. It's all karma.

Time to retire this thread, which has long since lost its bearings. The subject seems to have been pretty well talked out at this point.

Good old Mother! Thanks, I hadn't even had time to read that issue yet.

But oh so comforting.

Like macaroni and cheese for the ears?

These photos are really cool! Thanks Calexico! And Speed Racer, you just made up that factoid about duck penii, right?

So true, Chris. The poor little guy.

Chris, I hate to ask, but did the poor kid survive? That's so horrible.
