Nah...Halloween is a 'Christmasized' religious holiday...All Halloweed Eve before All Saints Day. However; the Fall Festivals the the Churches sponsor to protect the kiddies from the godless pagans is more than a little Wiccan/pagan.

Which is one of the problems with an all volunteer army. Always has been and always will be. The only alternative to this is a reinstatement of the Draft. Anybody here for that? Didn't think so. And it would eventually end up the same what with deferments. From my (somewhat limited) conversations on the matter, the Military wants nothing to do with a conscript army. With the volunteer force, at least the recruit has a desire to be there.

He should have taken the example from Michal Dukakis, Walter Mondale and Bob Dole: Lose the elecetion and disappear. Oh please. He fucked up. Deal with it.

I hear you talking when I'm on the street, Your mouth don't move but I can hear you speak. What's the matter with the boy? He don't come around no more, Is he checking out for sure? Is he gonna close the door on me? And I'm always hearing voices on the street, I want to shout, but I can't hardly speak. I was making love last night To a dancer friend of mine. I can't seem to stay in step, 'Cause she come ev'ry time that she pirouettes over me. And I only get my rocks off while I'm dreaming, I only get my rocks off while I'm sleeping. I'm zipping through the days at lightning speed. Plug in, flu

Nah....Limbaugh is not a big, fat idiot. He is a hidebound ideologue with no sense of proportion or decency who has sold his soul for a series of morally bankrupt Candidates who have betrayed the very core of their beliefs. These 'conservatives' are opportunistic theocrats. True conservatism would never countenance the kind of crap we see espoused from these 'neo-cons'. Limbaugh is a very talented broadcaster, but he has coarsened our political discourse and led to an atmosphere where bluster is more important than fact, personal attack is more important than enlightened discourse. I am

It's no secret we're close - as sweaty velcro like latex fur and feathers - stuck together Now - in their '62 vette - sharing one cigarette in a black light trance then - go go dance - then go go trance - then They keep me warm on cold nights - it must be quite a sight in our meat triangle - all tangled - wow My girlfriend's girlfriend - she looks like - you my girlfriend's girlfriend - she's my girl - too Her and me and her and she and me - an uncrowded couple are we three hey we don't care - what people say - when walking hand in hand down kings highway two for one today My girlfri

Driftin' upward Gently lifting Lazy on the wind Rollin' over Turnin' slowly Beginning and the end Fire is bright Fire is clean Never so alive Smoke is freedom Flame is mercy I am free tonight And I burn I burn Stoke the embers Cleanse the spirit A prayer in every spark Feel the lick of Bad religion The finish and the start In the beginning We were smarter 'n flame was heaven-sent Through the ages We got stupid Now we must repent And I burn I burn Save the ashes For reminders Stony things remain Tooth and bone unimpressive I have left these things Because fire is bright

If you take the Snob factor out of the consideration, the following belong: R.E.M Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five Van Halen The Ronettes I know Van Halen has descended into the realm of being a sad joke, but EVH at his prime was untouchable as a guitarist. Besides...it would be funny to see the uncomfortable acceptance speeches....

..is this good or bad?

And everybody knows that selling a song for use in a car commercial doesn't have the same cache as selling one for use by Victoria's Secret.

This is the first day of my last days I built it up now i take it apart climbed up real high now fall down real far No need for me to stay the last thing left i just threw it away I put my faith in god and my trust in you Now there's nothing more fucked up i could do Wish there was something real wish there was something true Wish there was something real in this world full of you I'm the one without a soul i'm the one with this big fucking hole No new tale to tell twenty-six years on my way to hell Gotta listen to your big time hard line bad luck fist fuck Don't think you're having all the fu

Ya know...I was gonna start a post about them the other day. Joining the Old '97's in spreading the gospel of Texas music.

Watch at your own risk. May induce nausea. http://www.stereogum.com/archives/003805.html

From the window of your rented limousine, I saw your pretty blue eyes One day soon you're gonna reach sixteen, Painted lady in the city of lies. Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need, yeah Clutching pages from your teenage dream In the lobby of the Hotel Paradise Through the circus of the L.A. queens. How fast your learn the downhill side Oh, do you know my name? Do I look the same You know I'm the one you want. I must be the one you need,. Lips like cherries and the brow of a queen, Come on, flash it in my eyes S

When A GHOST IS BORN was newish, I heard "Handshake Drugs" on the only station remotely resembling a new nusic Rock Station.

If so, than I apologize for going nuclear so quickly. One never knows with this bunch. The feeding frenzy that pops up around here keeps me looking over my shoulder (especially after the dustup that led to my abscence from this board for as extended period). Radiohead guitarist...Listen to Just from The Bends and all your questions will be answered. Favorite Porn Star!

Are you criticizing/questioning the choice or being a tool and noting I mispelled JONNY Greenwood? If it is the former...I suggest that any questioning of one's choice of the greatest Guitaist(s) is as silly as the idea of chosing the greatest Guitarist(s) of all time. It if is the latter...give me a fucking break.

I am partial to Tyler... And she runs through her days with a smile on her face And she runs, and she waits, and I wait We can drive to anyplace, day or night, across the state And in the morning, into Mexico, we will wake up I find a window in the kitchen, and I let myself in Rummage through the refrigerator, find myself a beer I can't believe I'm really here, and she's lying in that bed I can almost feel her touch, and her anxious breath! I stumble in the hallway, outside the bedroom door I hear her call out to me, I hear the fear in her voice She pulls the covers tighter, I press a

This is a bit like asking who is the greatest baseball player of all time. There is way too much grey area in the question. Best Rock Guitar player? Lead or Rhythm? Shredder or Blues? Best Jazz Guitar player? Fusion, Rhythm ....? And don't forget Country players... Classical? However, people do love lists.. In no particular order: Chuck Berry Stevie Ray Vaughn Jimi Hendrix Jeff Beck Eric Clapton Mick Jones Tom Verlaine Richard Lloyd Tom Morello Mike McCready Pete Townsend Steve Cropper Terry Kath Lindsay Buckingham Peter Green Albert King Freddie King Elmore James Jonny Greenwood Bil

The Toadies --- Possum Kingdom. Either about a serial killer or a vampire. One of the most surreal things I've ever seen is a stripper doing her pole routine to this song: "It has a really good beat..." Make up your mind Decide to walk with me Around the lake tonight Around the lake tonight By my side By my side I'm not gonna lie I'll not be a gentleman Behind the boathouse I'll show you my dark secret I'm not gonna lie I want you for mine My blushing bride My lover, be my lover, yeah... Don't be afraid I didn't mean to scare you So help me, Jesus I can promise you You'll stay as bea

I know I am coming a little late to the party here...but I could't resist. Rabid fans of a band (like all of us here) need to realize that we are not the norm. You have to recognize that Bands are not tailoring their every move to keep it interesting for us. Not everyone in the audience has attended multiple shows and has multiple bootlegs. I have heard this complaint about Springsteen for years. The advent of the internet has made following a band's every move much easier. MP3's, DATs and the like have made 'bootlegging' unrecognizable to those of us over 45. Yes, we have more access and

You know...one day I'd like to see the contract and its fine print where Rod Stewart sold his soul... Spent some time feelin' inferior standing in front of my mirror Combed my hair in a thousand ways but I came out looking just the same Daddy said, "Son, you better see the world I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave But remember one thing don't lose your head to a woman that'll spend your bread" So I got out Paris was a place you could hide away if you felt you didn't fit in French police wouldn't give me no peace They claimed I was a nasty person Down along the Left Bank minding m
