Sweet Papa Crimbo

This may be one of  the best scenes ever recorded

She said something about going home
She said something about needing to spend some time alone
And she wondered out loud what it was she had to find
But she's already made up her mind

All my friends told me she was too young
Well I knew that myself and I tried to run
But the faster I ran the more I fell behind
Because she'd already made up her mind

She's already made up her mind

Now there is nothing so deep as the ocean
And there is nothing so high as the sky
And there is nothing so unwavering as a woman
When she's already made up her mind

So now she's sitting at one end of the kitchen table
And she is staring without an expression
And she is talking to me without moving her eyes
Because she's already made up her mind

She's already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind

And she said something about going home
And she said something about needing to spend some time alone
And she wondered out loud what it was she had to find
But she'd already made up her mind

So my friend carry me down to the water's edge
And then sail with me out to that ocean deep
And let me go easy down over the side
And remember me to her

She's already made up her mind
She's already made up her mind
She's already made up her min

How about this, Jules? "You've never heard my music? I'm gonna PopTodd this CD on you; I think that you'll love it. Take it!"

Yeah

In what sense?

Soft London-centric media-basing south-east ignoring the rest of Britain? Accents?

When Skrax was detailing all the futuristic ordinance he thought Jenny should take into Sweetville, he stated it was needed because they were 'in the north'

Yeah but I seriously doubt he is reading the teleprompter word for word.  It's supposed to be there as a safety net for a forgotten lyric here and there... I doubt he would need to use it for every word in a song. 

Hell, I've seen Michael Stipe use a music stand with the lyrics situated on it.

Ah!  Nice one.. Touche.  

Kinda the point of the RTT

For all my board compadres from the Mother country---

What is the deal with the North of England?

Does a one legged Pope swim in circles?

 

No really, why you ask?  

In 2002, Jones was arrested for soliciting a 14-year-old boy to pose for sexually explicit photographs and possession of child pornography

Springsteen also uses a Teleprompter. Fuck him

It's not so much the teleprompter...it's the fake intense face he pulls while reading the lyrics

Do you like photography?

On the Devils and Dust tour, Springsteen had a keyboard player supplement some songs from off-stage.

 But it wasn't a secret

I think the 95% of the Latino vote is a huge stretch.  Considering Obama won the Latino vote with 70% and the African American vote by 93%.  Yes more Latinos will probably vote for a fellow Latino, but 95% is a huge number.  It is bordering on offense to suggest that the reason someone will vote for someone else based upon race.

 

   

...riiiiight

Everyone do yourselves a favor and don't Google image search "NSFL".

...and of course, I looked.

Being Principal Rooney kept this guy out of the clink for soliciting a minor...the POWER of Ferris Bueller must not be denied.

Oh, Crow, you sounded like Dirty Harry just then!

I sense a new screen name a brewing when the time comes....Dirty Crow?

Dirty Harry Crow? Magnum Force Crow?

This place is dead because all the rebels, malcontents, bomb throwers and smiling asshats either got bored with the board or got bannerated off.

It's the cost of civilization.

He'd be almost 80 at the end of his first term. The chances of Biden winning the nomination are slim, but it would be a good thing for the Republican party.

 

Hell, I like anyone who can throw Senator Feinstein into a tizzy.

 

Hillary Clinton was the darling of the party. Ted Cruz would resonate with voters who are tired of the status quo of Washington politics. And let's not forget that he's Latino: if he could grab 95% of the Latino vote like Obama did the African-American vote then it's "Hola, Casa Blanca."

Ted Cruz is Cuban-American (as is Marco Rubio). From what I hear from my Mexican friends, one shouldn't assume that simply because he speaks Spanish that he is considered 'hispanic'.

While there does seem to be an interesting adoption of Mr. Obama as an African-American, he is actually an AFRICAN-American...with a caucasian mom. 

Racial politics is dicey, unsavory and ugly. But it seems to be the way we are heading.

Always seems to be a relevant question

C'mon really?  Dancing queen may be the obvious answer but that's because it's the obvious answer!

Hell, if it's good enough for Robbie Fulks to cover with little or no irony, it's good enough for the best band in America to give it whirl.

I like the Marquis Moon suggestion.

I think they could make this work. Nels would fracking shred on it.

Oddly enough, I did have a music dream last night (usually these dreams find me onstage with a guitar realizing I don't know how to play it and dancing like a combination of James Brown and Bruce Springsteen).

In this dream, I remember Wilco was playing MR. SOUL. by Buffalo Springfield. I think this could be a really nice guitar workout with the boys all pulling some iron.

Not sure what your point is, but this picture I use as an avatar STILL cracks me up.

It's not a dig at Nixon. I just love this like I love the Chad Vader clips on Youtube.

Crow got mad that nobody was posting in the West explosion thread.

Actually, it was more of a knee jerk reaction to NoJs trolling in the Marathon thread.

I didn't have the stomach to see asshattery in the West thread. I could sense it coming.

Anybody else is free to do whatever they want with regard to threads. Start your own. Be a tool.

I just won't facilitate it under my avatar.

Not sure what we're expected to say other than the obvious.  It's a devastating event.  I've said many prayers for the victims and the whole community.  I was very confused for a few hours because I thought the explosion was in West Texas (like near Odessa or something) not West, Texas.

 

Also, this story is something.

Then I guess I'll lock this thread and the Boston shooting thread.

After all, I guess it's obvious.

"The Boys"

Well...they all have a y chromosome (at least one), there are multiple members and they are younger than I am.

I would call you a boy too, but your avatar intimidates me.
