Well...only 122 days until the Rangers are officially eliminated. Opening day loss and the owner and GM are talking about 2009-2010.

You may be witnessing an online personality meltdown in progress....

Point being WHAT? Someday, if you're lucky, you will be a geezer. In what other profession is someone expected to quit working when they hit their late 40's? Rock Stars in their 40's and 50's (and 60's) are not daytime strippers.

And I actually feel betrayed by them. At one point in time, U2 and REM were the saviors of rock. U2 got a little bloated but REM fell off the fucking planet. Maybe it's all a bit harsh on my part, but I look at how relelvant and moving I find Springsteen's work to be as he approaches 60 and the artists that looked to be the 'Springsteen's of my generation gave into the monster. I was born the same year as Stipe and Bono. I related to those guys and felt they were on the same journey as me. They lost the way. They gave in to the easy path. Stipe moreso than Bono. Bono may be the poster bo

Surprisingly, that one struck me so cold that I was out.

I can't reconcile my previous love of REM with how over them I am now. I remember buying the CHRONIC TOWN ep and literally wearing it out. I remember making Cassette copys of MURMUR for several professors and fellow students when I was in Grad school...turning as many people on to them as I possibly could. (My own private street team if you will). I remember waiting outside my local record shop waiting for them to open on the release date for RECKONING. I remember the muted excitement of seeing the video for "You can't get there from here" on MTV. I remember feeling a bit betrayed wh

This shit irritates me. We have to revive a NINE MONTH OLD THREAD to post what is, at best, peripherally related to the topic at hand. Are you guys THAT afraid of A-man? Which clogs up our board reading time? A new thread that might actually relate to the topic at hand, or having the slug through a year old thread to find the current content? And yes...I'm off the meds to day...so it's off to the races.

Interestingly enough...Norman was (and is) a practicing Jew. Some have voiced an opinion that SPIRIT IN THE SKY was a lampoon of Tele-evangalists. I just like the groove. (Springsteen is using a very similar groove on REASON TO BELIEVE live these days).

1970 was a great year for Pop tunes... Norman Greenbaum And speaking of guitar tone... The Tee Set --- My Belle Ami Audio only...Wadsworth Mansion

Billy Gibbons --- La Grange Mark Knopfler --- Sultans of Swing Jonny Greenwood --- Just

As this is a family oriented board...how about a more family friendly version: Hey...let's have a party gang!

You get what you give

My take (on my own post) is the actual use of punctuation as a key to they lyrics in the song: I love you period Do you love me question mark Please please exclaimation point I wanna hold you in parenthesis I should have known dot dot dot

The King are HERE

Don't remember if this was a hit...but it sure as hell should have been

Not a one hit wonder...don't forget: If you want to get to heaven (you got to raise a little hell)

Those dudes looked like I did when I was young and full of hope.

Just thought the one eared startled pussy cat needed an appearance

Ram Jam!!! Haddaway

What is the point of this? Did you even read the OP?
