  1. Bruce REALLY like his new record. By the End of the Magic and Working on a Dream tours, he had basically dropped most of the tunes from his set lists.
  2. Read more http://www.newyorker...k#ixzz22IsySqWH Sorry Stones fans...this is RIGHT on the mark.
  3. This is an unprecedented performance (both in concert and recordings) by an artist at 62. Springsteen, Dylan and McCartney are aging gracefully, producing viable recordings and performing at a high level in concert. They are in SHARP contrast to the abortion that the Rolling Stones have become.
  4. I'm really glad they didn't touch Profar, Olt or Perez. One good thing about this summer...It may hasten the arrival of the two golden children of the Rangers' minor leagues. I can see Kinsler being trundled off to Left Field and Young not tendered another contract. This would open up a space for Profar to move to second and Olt to make the bigs as a DH/1b/3b option.
  5. Still a little early to panic..but it is looking really grim. Hamilton, Napoli and Young have been a black hole in the lineup,.Kinsler isn't getting on base. It's really sad when the biggest story for a team with this potential offense is the emergence of Craig Gentry...and he isn't in the lineup everyday. Hamilton's collapse has been eerie to watch. I keep envisioning lepruchans carting off bank bags filled with $100 bills with every strikeout and 0-fer.He will be lucky to get a journeyman's contract after this two month collapse.
  6. If they are in their 70's, than 50's music is probably appropriate. Patty Page Frank Sinatra Elvis Perry Como Buddy Holly (Remember...Paul McCartney is 70)
  7. There's a part of me that's outraged and part of me that thinks the only reason the American media is paying attention to the story is an excuse to say 'pussy riot' over the airwaves.
  8. I know it was on the first Loose Fur record, but damn, they really need to release this one with the band performance.
  9. Wonder if Jeff has any interest in and could pull off a clean shaven head look?
  10. ummm...thread has over 1200 posts. Time to close and open a new one?
  11. How ironic that Paterno was so sanctimonious when it came to paying players...
  12. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/deep-purple-keyboardist-jon-lord-dead-at-71-20120716 Deep Purple Keyboardist Jon Lord Dead at 71 Co-wrote many of their biggest hits, including 'Smoke on the Water' Jon Lord of Deep Purple in the 1970s. Fin Costello/Redferns By Rolling Stone July 16, 2012 2:25 PM ET Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord, who played with the pioneering hard rock band from their formation in 1968 through his retirement in 2002, died in London today from a pulmonary embolism after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 71. Lord co-founded Deep Purple
  13. Even though the Rangers have the second best record in baseball, I have an uneasy feeling about this team. Young, Napoli and Cruz have been mired in varying degrees of slumps. And now Hamilton is an 0 for 2 from his average dipping below .300. The pitching is strong, but there are some holes in the lineup that really need to be addressed.
  14. I will spare the board a re-post about my son's first Wilco show. This crowd is pretty jaded and cynical at times.
  15. This thing is a beast of a book and is the last word on the Military aspects of Napoleon Bonaparte and his 20 year path across Europe.
  16. All that money spent, and there's a better than average chance the Marlins end up in fourth in the NL East.
  17. Does anybody really think that ANYTHING Romney says or does will win anything remotely resembling a less than nominal portion of the African American vote? Really? He stated his message and the NAACP rudely received him. What else is new? Get on a plane, cash a check, rent a video, buy alcohol or cigarettes in a grocery store... Who would have thought that the NAACP and Kansas City baseball fans would both show such rude behavior?
  18. I picture us as a bunch of Kristen Schaals.
  19. My wife thought this might be an interesting film looking at the cast. Oh My God. What a complete and utter abortion of a movie. It was as bad as the fake movie in the film.
  20. I am really disappointed with the Kansas City fans. Just who would those yahoos have wanted Cano to kick off his HR derby team for the kid? Ortiz? Joey Bats? Prince...who won the fucking thing?
  21. Myself from this bitter, disappointing situation I find myself in. Oh. THAT kind of release. Alejandro Escovedo (actually came out in June) Gaslight Anthem Band of Horses
  22. Doesn't Mike play Dusenberg's (sic)?
  23. Hell...it's not even 2007 anymore. I must admit that I will turn to my (now 18 year old) son and say something along the lines of "who is that? that is a pretty cool song...we may have to pick that one up" whenever a song comes on a commercial. It's a new world, mabe not so brave, but certainly it ain't your dad's world. Radio, with very rare exceptions, caters to the lowest common denominator. Even satellite radio is not really cutting edge. Television commercials are now simply a very viable means of exposing 30 seconds or so of a song to an audience that may not even know it wants it.
