Heh - one thing New York and Texas has in common is annoyance at the president messing up traffic!

Yeah - I don't care about that Hunger Games stuff, but the two aforementioned films are excellent.

I do not know. I got to see it at our area indie theater. You'll really dig it - Jodorowsky's still a trip, at age 85.

Whether or not this news interests you personally (I'm firmly in the camp that thinks anything named "Pink Floyd" without Rog lacks a certain integrity) the fact is this news is most certainly blowing up social media and the internet right now. Any word of a Floyd album or tour is always BIG news. Perhaps only topped by Zeppelin rumors.

Come by my tent in this camp and we'll crank the live portion of Ummagumma REALLY loud.

THIS was f-ing great - easily the best movie I've seen so far this year. I liked Godzilla, but it needed more Godzilla and less of everything not Godzilla. Budapest I thought was pretty good; Anderson's modus operandi really walks a fine line for me. Sometimes I dig it, other times it makes me annoyed.

Yeah I caught the Isle of Wight movie on TV the other day. What a powerful band they were at that point.

He looks like a Phoenician to me. (New York, not the Levant.)

Gosh, I always make sure to make it my business when someone who has done me a kindness disappears from a community. Bystander apathy is a terrible thing.

Hear, hear. I liked this place a lot better when it was freewheeling and not so much an attempt at Utopian Internet Message-Board making.

Oooh, like if a Belgian shot Vladimir Putin? Or a Uruguayan soccer player bit an Italian soccer player?

Seriously, I wanna read the new Barbara McMillan book, then Paul Fussell's "The Great War and Modern Memory." Then maybe dig a trench in the backyard, get in said trench and set off M-80s during a rainstorm.

You're a jest

A married jest now.

I know my college has an alma mater, but I would like a new one, entitled "Sweet Home SUNY New Paltz" and set to the tune of the famous Skynyrd song.

By contrast, I saw Plant and Page twice back in the '90s in both their full-on North African-esque model and the more stripped-down Zeppish model and Plant kicked ass.

I could be wrong, but I think this was my high school one. (I'm from the same place as the president ...)

He's talking specifically about being not bored enough to do a tour. THAT NIGHT AT O2 WAS MAGIC AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET IT.

You know, I listened to it on Spotify the other night and it was better than I recalled it, but I still think Robert's heart wasn't in it.

this might be the final nail in the coffin:

In a new interview, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page says he’s tired of singer Robert Plant “playing games” regarding a reunion tour for the surviving members of the legendary group.

When asked by the New York Times if he was eager to hit the road after spending three years locked up in a studio remastering and expanding Led Zeppelin’s nine studio albums for the massive re-release campaign which kicks off next month, Page emphatically answered, “Absolutely, absolutely. I definitely want to play live.”

Which brought up the next logical question — would Plant and bassist John Paul Jones be a part of those plans? And that’s where the guitar hero let out a little steam. Page began by bringing up a February 2013 interview where the singer indicated he might be willing to take a break from his successful solo career for a 2014 Zeppelin reunion.

That offer would seem to be off the table now, with Plant about to release another solo album, scheduling a summer-long tour with his new band the Sensational Space Shifters — and most damningly, declaring himself not “bored” or willing to be “part of a jukebox.”

This clearly doesn’t sit well with Page. “I was told last year that Robert Plant said he is doing nothing in 2014,” he told the Times, “and what do the other two guys think? Well, he knows what the other guys think. Everyone would love to play more concerts for the band. He’s just playing games, and I’m fed up with it, to be honest with you. I don’t sing, so I can’t do much about it. It just looks so unlikely, doesn’t it?”

But don’t worry, it looks like Page will simply hit the stage with somebody else. “I’ve still got a twinkle in my eye. I can still play… I’m not devoid of ideas. So let’s hope that sometime in the next year, I’m seen to be playing out there. Because that’s the only thing that’s been missing.”

See? I was right about Plant being bored.

What about those asshats that go by the name of Green Day??

 

The Foo Fighters are barely tolerable especially live nowadays where Grohl yells "CMON" or "alright lets go motherfukkers" before every hook

Hate and hate. All three members of Green Day seriously need an ass-kicking.

What's the latest line for "Decadent And Depraved"?

Acquitted of those charges.

Strawberry wasn't assaulting women in restrooms, was he? Just a crack head.

And he failed to pay child support, but really I am still mad at him for signing with LA back in '91.

Wait, Kirby Puckett was an asshole? More or less of one than Darryl Strawberry?

domestic violence is the BEST, you guys are soooo funny.

Not as funny as video of the incident would be.

Bjorn you crazy. That O2 concert is a miracle in all regards.

I stand by what I heard, which was a guy like, "OMFG I can't believe I am singing this song AGAIN, when I would much rather be singing 'Big Log.'"

"Next time I see you and Julio down by the schoolyard, Imma gonna break your face!"

"The arc of history is long, but it bends toward justice."

This is what Paul Simon gets for robbing the world of the talent that was The New Bohemians.

I will not! Not until everyone accepts that Robert Plant doesn't wanna be in Zep anymore.
