Sweet Papa Crimbo

Undoubtedly there's a disconnect between best, greatest and favorite. For me, it's all the same guy

Either one too many (Ask the Serbians) one too few (ask the Rwandans). In other words, according to the Clinton administration, ethnic cleansing in Southern Europe...bad. Genocide in Central Africa...well...let's not talkabout that.

There was a very telling exchange between Amy and the Doctor about mortality and traveling with the Doctor...that and the fact that there is no recorded record of the existence of the Doctor. Something's brewing...

This... or Maybe Long Cut or New Madrid instead of Watch me Fall

I'm not really surprised, but a little disappointed that One Sunday Morning has all but disappeared from the setlists. While this is a truly wonderful song and was one of the highlights of the show I can see how it doesn't work in a live setting. When played with Poor Places and Art of Almost, it is dramatic and offers a definite emotional statement of purpose. Set opener or encore showcase, it seems to simply be too emotional and quiet to really work without certain contextural accomodations.

Isn't is interesting how banal the embodiment of true evil appears? i

Having a bad day Bjorn?

Coventions are tent revivals for the faithful. One cannot glean anything substantive or important from these self-congratulatory jerk fests.

I decided to tackle an impossible (for me) task: Ten favorite Springsteen songs The task seems insurmountable, but I decided to break his career arc into three phases . 1973-1978 1980-1988 1990-present Lost in the Flood Spirit in the Night Thunder Road Backstreets Jungleland Born to Run Darkness on the Edge of Town Racing in the Streets Incident on 57th Street Rosalita The Ties That Bind Independence Day The River The Price You Pay My Hometown Born in the USA State Trooper No Surrender Valentine’s Day Walk Like a Man If I should Fall behind (Wait for me) Human Touch Better Days Girls

LOL Happy day of exit man!

I guess sometimes it's got to be enough to be the best band in America and making a breathtaking record.

It's a moot point.

Why not? But it never had a stinking chance. Given the emotional and addictive state of various members of the band, not achieveing massive success is probably a good thing.

And let's see if his emminence Archbishop Tutu will calll for PBO to face war crimes charges. I don't expect people to be logical in their arguments, I just expect them to be honest and consistent on important points.

I just figured out that PBO meant President Barak Obama. I think I'll go eat a sandwich.

From Forget the Flowers-- You're trying my patience, try pink carnations, red roses, yellow Daffodils What I want to hear is: You're trying IMPATIENS, try pink carnations, red roses, yellow daffodils. Would keep with the flora theme...

He might have 'marched them back home' from Iraq, but the body bags are still being filled in Afghanistan. And as for overstepping legal and ethical boundaries...if I remember correctly, Sadam Hussein stood trial in Iraq, was convicted and duly executed. While I shed no tears for bin Laden, Obama has not moral high ground to assert here. It was a revenge killing. That and the indiscriminate use of drones to attack targets in Countries we have not declared war against and the excessive civilians killed would earn Obama a place on the docket with Bush and Blair in the Hague. It's rearranging th

The movie and TV industry managed to survive and thrive in the age of digital downloads...why not the music industry? Lack of imagination. Luddite thinking. Greed. Stupidity. Mismanagement. Short sightedness. But this is probably better suited for another thread. Don't want to sully the glory that is Candyfloss.

Actually, I was referring to the music industry execs.

You score a copy?

Or even notingsevergonnastandinmyway (again). Idiocy abounds in moribund industries...these guys have the blood of the music industry on their hands/

Same animal, different stripe. The buggy whip factory that is the hard copy music magaine/newspaper have been pushed to irrelevancy with the anarchy of the interwebs. These guys want web hits just like the magazines and newspapers wanted to sell you printed paper. It just makes me feel like an old man railing against 'progress' when it is in fact 'regress'.
