  1. My boss is great. I have worked for the same organization for 28 years, and he is easily the best boss...and I have had some really good ones (as well as some turds on the road)
  2. Kind of like the number of people who say they love the Velvet Underground if infinitely more than the people who actually love the velvet underground.
  3. Well...the title of this thread isn't YOU JUST CAN'T LIVE IN LOUISIANA UNLESS YOU KNOW HOW TO SPELL BOUDIN.
  4. A Thread for Musical Blasphemy you Truly Believe Full Definition of BLASPHEMY 1a : the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God b : the act of claiming the attributes of deity2: irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable The Grateful Dead are revered here. I don't like them. I think any music I need to be tripping on to enjoy can do without my appreciation.
  5.

  6. Looks about right...but most places I frequent don't serve and entire sausage
  7. Giorgio Tsoukalos ... he's the (crazy haired) MAN!!!
  8. Read the thread title...If I didn't think it was against grain, I wouldn't have posted it.
  9. The most striking studio vs. live differences was the balls to the wall version of SOMEBODY ELSE'S SONG
  10. http://yestotexas.com/14-things-non-texans-just-dont-understand/ December 11, 201314 Things Non-Texans Just Don’t Understand Texas is a diverse and great place to live, but we aren’t complicated. Despite that, there are just some things that non-Texans won’t ever understand until they live here. 1. Queso is not just melted cheeseWhen I travel “abroad” to any of the other 49 states, and I make my way in to a Mexican restaurant occasionally there will be menu item listed as “chips and queso”. I put that phrase in quotation marks because normally what I am served is not chips and queso as w
  11. Looking at the CG numbers...1980 was insane for the A's. Martin's teams were always among the leaders in CG, but 1980 was abusive.
  12. More that one person messaged him with the information...(I know. I was one)
  13. The question mark is forming over my head
  14. Yeah...but it WAS a different game and a different era then. There are a lot of 50 and 60 year old former pitchers who can't raise their pitching arm to comb their hair. Back in the day, Pitch counts were for sissies. And any pitching coach who took a different approach to conditioning, training and pitch counts was called 'eccentric'. All anybody remember about Tom HOuse is he had his pitchers throw a football in their training. He was a huge proponant of limiting the number of pitches for younger pitchers... It was a different world. Four man rotations and ten man pitching staffs. Tony LaRus
  15. Excellent points. My perspective on Billy came from the 1974 Rangers. He took a team that was a glorified AAA team in 1972 and 1973 and had them in contention for the AL West (in 1974). He did love the veterans...hoping to catch lightening in a bottle. He was an unredeemable alcoholic and more than a little bit of an asshole; but he could turn a team around.
  16. Am I a bad person that I laughed at this? I think they're expecting Trumbo to play left.
  17. Rod Stewart has so utterly betrayed his talent that I don't know whether he is redeemable or not. Are they doing this to give Ian and Kenny a payday? And Glenn Mattock on bass? Jebus freaking Rice.
  18. I've probably said this before, but since somebody bumped this thread, it got me to thinking. I don't get the Velvet Underground, which is odd since I really like Lou Reed. I kinda like the last two records, so maybe it's John Cale I don't care for. Don't like the Grateful Dead. As much as I try (and I've really tried), the seem to be more about the drug culture than they do music. I think that George's ALL THINGS MUST PASS is superior to every other former Beatle Solo Record. Sandinista is a glorious mess that holds up really well after 30 years. I think Max Weinberg is a plodd
  19. I knew in my heart that Sue would see this and make it happen. These are really good people.
