I vastly dispise rap. This to me is not close, but I guess I can see where someone might think it. I note the rap I don't immediately hate is people who are actually playing instruments.
Traditional African music has so infiltrated society in the past, Rap is but one offshoot but traces are in most all the popular "low brow" stuff like Jazz, C/W Rock and of course Blues. Now that more and more stuff like Tinariwen is being heard folks think it is copying rap, but is really the source of Rap with some updates added ... some from rap I'm sure. Full circle.

I was the oldest one at 16.
One early evening, we decided to see who could do the longest wheelie without pedaling. I pretty much dominated the competition (no brag, just fact).
Well, I was really going to show them. I got way back from the line and pedaled at top speed. Just before I hit the start line, I pulled the front wheel off the ground and sailed for almost 200' and then tried to eek out a few more, when I lost it.
I flipped over and landed on my knees and got the worst skinned knees in my entire life... to date anyway.
That's the story of my skinned knees.
Gotta watch out for the Skinned Knees.
Had one of the first Schwinn true BMX frames...broke it at the braze joints on the head casting. Later had a Schwinn Predator I raced in competition.
Ended up cracking that too, but it took a hammering to do so.
Never Skinned Knees but pulled much of it off my palms when my trendy spandex back cycle gloves ripped off in a header when riding at the riverfront section of Audubon Park in N.O. (R.I.P. "The Fly") a few days before state championships. Borrowed a pair from a buddy who sweated salt by the pound. I was still putting them on at "Riders Ready" and as I crossed the line I was pulling them off with my teeth.
Took second that year.

ROSANNE CASH
When I was 18, I was on the road with my dad. One day, we were sitting in the tour bus, talking about songs, and he mentioned a song, and I said, “I don’t know that one.” He mentioned another one, and I said, “I don’t know that one, either.” Then he started to get alarmed, so he spent the rest of the day making a list on a legal pad, and at the top he put “100 Essential Country Songs.” And he handed it to me and he said, “This is your education.”
heard an interveiw with her and she was amazed he came up with those off the top of his head, that being the days before Google and whatnot. Later when married (T-Bone Burnett iirc) and after he died, there was the list...waiting to be done.

Viva Tyranny!

Most of my family made it out of Cuba after Fidel's croanies took possession of all their property and rights. Many cubans have lived a broken and half life after their homes and families were ripped apart - including my own mother's. My uncle Manuelo was anti-Batista and a lawyer that represented the revolucion and Fidel. However, once he saw what Fidel was up to he started working politically against his authoritarian regime. Fidel thanked him by throwing him in prison for ~20 years. He made out when Fidel emptied the prisons in 1980 (which besides political prisoners sent a wonderful lot of rapists and murders to Miami).
Ergo, you are an idiot or at best extremely ignorant and don't know what you are talking about. Why don't you keep your politics out of an otherwise awesome forum. I suggest all of those that truly believe in these ideals move to Venezuala, North Korea or any other suppressed society and then get back to me on how awesome your life is. Oh wait, you won't have internet access or the ability to think and express free thoughts, so.... nevermind.
Yep. Che loved his executions so much he had a window installed so he could enjoy the views. Also I was told he clubbed a 14 yr old to death himself for the crime if having parents who own some kind of store or line of stores. Known several folks who escaped tyranny in various places (one Soviet, two Vietnamese, and a couple of Cubans. I also have family who live in the Czech Rep. None died but it was a close thing I'm told). They really are let down by the buffoons who lionize the scum.
Ironically those who seem most supportive of these foul scums are also the first to be "cleansed" when the thugs look to solidify their power.

(Apr 23, 2011 - 02:39) | alanthecowboy wrote: I think I can answer that. On my last trip to visit my folks in the states (Snowbirds), we visited a pawn shop and got into a spirited conversation with the proprietor, who couldn't believe that no one in Canada carries sidearms. His wife explained that she wouldn't feel safe in her house at night without a gun on the night table.
The point is that they would have been happy to sell us a Glock 9mm for under $1000.00 cash (no idea if that's a good deal) and they didn't even want our names. Not that I wanted one, and if it turned up while going through customs it could cause problems, but it seemed that there was nothing stopping me from taking him up on his offer. He knew we weren't US citizens, but he felt that there shouldn't be barriers between people and 'security'. We found it a very strange and memorable experience.
if one is a legal resident of the US (citizen or not, just here legally and able to pass background) you can be sold a gun, legally. A coWorker has his CCW and is from Mexico.
No that is not a good deal, and you should have reported them(Glocks are $400 new so he was looking to make a 300-400% profit there He sure didn't pay full retail for a used one). likely he has sold others to folks who likely had no rights to get them. Though honestly, most crooks get their the same way they get most everything else. Theft or from the drug supplier. 99+% of dealers are not going to risk the hassle of an illegal sale, I'd suspect the gun might be a touch warm too. We hear all the time how there is no gun crime in places like Canada and the UK but there is plenty, and it has gone up since the banning or restrictions placed on ownership. Folks in Canukistan can get pistols, it is just a huge damned hassle, and oddly enough only the politically connected tend to get them with any regularity.
If y'all are snowbirding and are here you should be able to get a pistol legally, but I'm not sure about that. You'd of course likely be forced to leave it here.

You need to pay attention to What he is watching on that TV. The Fall of the Iron Curtain...That is what the song is about. The communists lost the cold war and the people finally were free, and took it out on the Wall in Berlin. Having relatives stuck on the wrong side of the Curtain (and knowing others stuck inside East Germany) makes this song even more poignant. Watching The World Wake Up From History....Connie the Commie said We Will Bury You, and they failed. Sadly too many still think that those are good policies.....idiots.

Rush is very much the same for him...he loves the playing, the songs lyrics are masterful, he just hates Lee's voice. Now later in life he has learned to put that aside and listens to it more often, but the voice still takes something away for him.
I used to work with a Jazz musician. He once came and ask if I knew of or had heard Shot Down In Ecuador JR.(they were a big deal around New Orleans for some time)
.
me- "Yeah, I've seen their posters around town, but never heard them play."
him- "They are damned good players, a great band!"
me- "Oh yeah, you like their music?"
him- "No, I hate it. But they play it very well"
It's like most opera to me. . . great massive talented voices. . . I ain't listening to it all day long and in fact i listen to as little as possible.

Great place to live as a kid, not an adult (unless you like welfare and excessive drinking). My parents owned the Little Falls Inn and Red Flannel Saloon, being less than 10 miles from Whitefish Point I can't tell you how many times I heard "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on the bar jukebox. Always gives me a smile when Bill plays it here.
First move was to N.O. and yes, it was like a planet change in many ways, but the ghetto kids thought I was crazy, so they left off the usual harrassing and they learned I was an ok guy to be around.
The move to Texas was wrenching financially, but things have finally turned the corner (got all the bills paid off, and then got damned good raise late last year!!). Texas is much more to my liking in many ways. Michigan is home, but the bottom third (and the fools voting for bozos like Stupek) made the state unlivable (If everyone who lost a job in Michigan just this recession still lived there, the unemployment would be twice the rate now, and kids like me never stayed. 120 graduated and 6 years later and only 4 still lived in the area). So I go for visits. If I hit a lottery, I'd get some land in the woods, otherwise I'll not live there unless things change massively.
Tis sad, really.

Gordon Lightfoot - The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
(Apr 29, 2010 - 17:10) | sstepak wrote:The closest explanation of the wreck I've heard was that loose hatches above the holds gave way and saturated the ore. The ship structurally snapped in two from the excessive weight. The Great Lakes have taken hundreds of lives from the Gales of November. The worst day was the "Big Blow" of 1913.
looking at the wreck on the bottom, she likely augured in after a wave stuffed the wheelhouse under. Lakes Freighters have it in the bow. The radiophone was in arms reach of the capt and mate, and neither got it off the hook. Likely, the fist they knew it was going in was when the windows blew in. His charts were also off, so he most likely bottomed on a shoal, causing the weakening, and additional water..
The claim of improperly tighten hatches is a poor one when even the facts know back after the sinking are the only ones used.

Ads for it were local to the bayou and they went Cajun music after several good years (I lived in Kenner and could get them in my car, but in much of N.O. could not) of great rock.

The phrase is on our currency in an attempt to present the United States as a religious nation, and to say that we-as-a-whole trust in God. Well, I don't. And I find it offensive that certain people wish to speak for me. Sure, majority rule and all that, but religious conviction is a personal statement, not a collective one. I'd find it as offensive if it said "We Trust Republicans" when the Republicans have a majority in Congress, and "We Trust Democrats" when Democrats do. It's a silly phrase, a waste of time, and an attempt to speak for each individual. I don't feel strongly enough to sue to have the phrase removed, but hey — more power to those who are suing. I don't think that the words will make me suddenly become a believer, nor that they have any power over my beliefs, nor over the beliefs of anyone else. It's just an offensive public statement of a personal belief — one that millions of Americans don't share. The Great Pumpkin is silly as well, but nobody's trying to tell me I trust in the Great Pumpkin.
So you're all for the wasting of tax dollars on fighting the removal of a phrase the majority of people of all religions have no problem with?
While I believe there is no god(s), the total removal of all things that smack of religion doesn't work either. The problems are people and stupid reactions to very petty things, What exactly does the phrase do to you personally? Is your dollar worth less because you are an atheist? If you wish for all references to god to dissapear from your governmental situation, you would have to find a country that wasn't formed by a group of religious people. Your millions are not so large as all that. I'm not offended in the least, so I can't be counted in your list.
Whining about what offends you is a part of free speech, but there is no Right of "Freedom From Offense".
Freedom of Speech, and Freedom in general means some things are going to happen that You find offensive, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Muslims find my lack of belief offensive. Using the arguments made by many like you, we should succumb to that and let them take care of the offense in the manner of their religious beliefs?

Germany elected one of it's most pro American leaders not long ago, and France (of all places) elected "Le Americane" who came for a visit and gave the one most pro-American speech heard in years, and certainly more so than anything the Commie Barak will ever give.
But I'm sure Michigan's Canadian Governess would be able to match Texas' unemployment and billions in surplus budget with her socialist policies. . . . someday. . . maybe if the Feds give her more money.

He makes an offering of black coffee and string cheese to the great talking head Zard-Oz and the four strong winds. A copy of the play list is placed on a the head of a radio. He then rolls over stones looking for a bad sign. When he finds one, the offending song is stuck to a tree of porcupine quills, the pronouncement "Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga" is made, and a bonobo is turned loose. The song is then shredded with with a dirty knife made of iron while he drinks wine and does the huron beltane fire dance. At the end of the day he rides wild horses back home while singing Godless (the massive attack mix). And that is how songs are eliminated from the play list. Really.

So Castro (and now Raul) "spends" a bit on "Artists". perhaps allowing someone freedoms you obviously take for granted would be a better thing. Maybe things there would be nicer if one could say things like your Anti-Gov't statement without fear of jail or firing squad. I mean, why should the displaced Cubans in FL be mad?...Castro only killed their relatives, stole their property, and other niggling trifles.

Pigs are all of the things you said. But they are totally greedy when it comes to food. They will eat, and eat fast, anything remotely foodlike that is anywhere close to them. Though this makes sense on an evolutionary level, it certainly explains why they are associated with greed and avarice.
Nightmare for a pig farmer is to pass out in a sty(heart attack or stroke etc). Pigs will dispose of the body readily.
Pigs will gladly eat humans. during the 30 years war, wild pigs were noted for eating the dead and wounded on the fields if no one bothered to do something.

As demonstrated by this portion:
What could he do? Should have been a rock star,
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
What could he do? Should have been a politician,
But he never had a proper education.
What could he do? Should have been a father,
But he didn't even make it to his twenties.
What a waste,
Army Dreamers.
Yet if a Noble joins, it is seen as a character builder (though it is expected they be officers) and those like the Princes are looked down on if they choose not to serve.
Officers of both types in the US army (Noncommissioned and Commissioned) will not get very far in rank if they do not study a lot more than most regular people (and most of those deriding their intelligence) and for the highest promotions, degrees are required (Lt Commanders to get to Commander had best get a Masters, or likely they will be retired or shuffled to dead end positions). Some have multiples. I've seen Gunny's with three degrees in wide ranging thins like History, Lit, and Biology.

Honda used Lou Reed for selling scooters back in the late 80's. The president of Honda USA knew what the words to the song meant and used the tune anyhow. But few of the commercials used any of the lyrics and those that did used only "Take A Walk On The Wild Side"

What did you mean about Che Guevara being a mass murderer?
It's a somewhat subjective matter.
From Wikipedia:
He was appointed commander of the La Cabaña Fortress prison, and during his five-month tenure in that post (January 2 through June 12, 1959), he oversaw the trial and execution of many people, among whom were former Batista regime officials and members of the "Bureau for the Repression of Communist Activities" (a unit of the secret police known by its Spanish acronym BRAC). José Vilasuso, an attorney who worked under Guevara at La Cabaña preparing indictments, said that these were lawless proceedings where "the facts were judged without any consideration to general juridical principles" and the findings were pre-determined by Guevara. It is estimated that between 156 and 550 people were executed on Guevara's extra-judicial orders during this time.
Many of those Che had shot had done little or no wrong, but were related to those who were against the revolution, or related to the Batista government. From 14 year olds to old folks, it didn't matter to him.
I find it mildly amusing that most of those here in the USA, who now idolize this slime bag, would have been many of those he'd have put against the wall.

Bush is too big gov't and until recently, never saw a spending bill he didn't like...I wonder about why the left hates him so much...he gave them so much of what they wanted...Big Gov't(TM DNC, and too many Rs as well) never works well (Katrina? great work by the local left and FEMA, no surprise to me. .

Your version of "reality" might carry more weight if your location were South O' Baghdad instead of South O' Fort Worth. Public opinion polling of Iraqis shows the vast majority sees us as occupiers, believes our presence is making things worse, and wants us out. But if you are convinced this little imperialist adventure of ours is noble and just, why aren't you there participating? Maybe a bit too much "reality" for you?
So sorry,
but my current positional situation has litte bearing on the truth. The Chicken Hawk moniker is so passe. If you are so certain it isn't the way to go, why aren't you over there leading negotiations with AQ and Mookie Al Sadr? Besides...I'd 4F if my old ass tried to enlist...Too much fun when I was able and arthritis will prevent me from enlisting, so I'm working somewere I can be a help to society and have even helped Iraqi's(and Jordanians) with some of my work. Can you say that? Well?
As AL Anbar Awakening and now Shia joining the Awakening movement show, we are starting to convince the locals we are there for them, not to occupy. The "resistence" has, from the start, been a majority of foreign fighters and those who were opressing the populace before we showed up. AQ has done a grand job of late, offending the locals. This, and the fact we are actually bringing help and change to the nation, has helped grandly in bringing many of those actual local resistance groups to work WITH us and stop shooting at us.
They have learned that by working with us and bettering the place, we will leave faster and all that left's rantings they have heard that we are there to Steal the Oil" and "Imperialistic Occupations" are so much trash.
You want an opinion from Bagdad?
Try this:
"Frankly, I don't understand why so many mock us for wanting a future for Iraq. Is your hatred for George Bush so great that you prefer to see millions of civilians suffer just to prove him wrong?
It really comes down to this: you are determined to see Iraq become a permanent hellhole because you hate Bush. And we are determined to see Iraq become a success, because we want to live."">(click here)

I think his point is that courtesy of cities like Phoenix, Tucson, Los Angeles, and San Diego as well as agricultural areas using canals to divert water from the Colorado River, it no longer flows to an ocean outlet in Mexico like it historically has (the Gulf of California in this case). And because the Colorado river has a significant number of dams, even the worst floods aren't likely get the water much past Yuma.
Besides, the most popular tourist destination on the Colorado river isn't even in the state of the same name. Mexico's problem is not the evil USA "stealing the water" that flows out of the USA into a very small portion of the Mexican nation. It is a series of governments that have plundered the nation and wastes a very rich nation's resources. Mexico has absolutely no reason for it's largest industries and exports to be people forced to leave so they can send Dollars home and illicit drugs.
Correctly run (with a bit of help in the attitudes of the people as well) Mexico could be a damn rich nation that wouldn't have to Fence it's southern border to help prevent competition to it's citizens trying to sneak over the northern border.
Notice how we are Evil for wanting a border fence yet Mexico has made damn sure it has one on it's own souther border.

Basically everyone needs to be tolerant of each other, and take care of their own business. Have a good one Mr Fixit problem is the Libertarian party has lost touch with reality almost as badly as the Dems have.
The Candidates the Liberts give out are like David Duke giving tips on Welfare Reform while he was in the Repub Party.
Yeah, lots of the ideas they stand for are great. But the rest of the ideas are unpalatable to anyone with half an once of common sense. A few years back, they even put forward a candidate who thought the Brady Bill and Clinton gun bans were no big deal and didn't need repealing (or as finally happened, fading into the sunset). Hello? He changed stance for election but his statements were still there.
We seem to be left with The Stupid Party(republicans), The Commies(democrats who seem to forget what democracy really means), And the Nutjobs(Big "L" libertarian who seem to have some great ideas but hold several that are suicide either economically, or societally)
Til they find someone who doesn't have a few too many nutjob ideas, I'll remain a small "l" libertarian who has to hold nose and vote "R" and hope for the best, because the worst thing for any freedom loving human is to let the Communistic Nannies in charge (Though Rudy and Huckabee are Nanny staters as well....dammit!)

Ashcanistan is not as far as I'd like, but as long as Pakistan is going to attempt dealing with the Tribes and the Taliban in hopes the gator eats them last, we will have trouble. AQ leadership is either in a cave in those Paki hills, dead, or if in Iraq, has a life expectancy of weeks, lately. So far the failures the left think exist are in not leaving murderous dictators in power and managing to tie up AQ in wars NOT ON U.S. Soil.
Bush's real failings are in those areas real conservatives don't agree with him. He is far too Big Gov't and the Bureaucracies he birthed are like anything Big Gov't does...inefficient and inept.

Remember, according to the left:
Wanting your nation to win is BAD
Freeing oppressed peoples is not good(otherwise they can't bemoan said peoples plights)
Dictators aren't all that bad, no matter how many of their people they kill.(Especially if they know what the leftist talking points are and spout them)

Please. Have you read no history? Welcome to humanity. I fail to see how this century is any different than any other.... Indeed
the WOT is in part due to a faction trying to do what other religions have done in the past.
Jesus and the New testament are rather peaceful in the teachings, but that sure didn't stop the Inquisitors.
The problem with Islam, is the ability of having been form by a military man and his rantings giving the extremists so much fodder to justify their twisted world view.
Then on the other side are those, like Alien it seems, who make a religion of being anti-religion. Chris Hitchens come to mind, many others who sue at the drop of a hat to remove god from gov't buildings or crosses from public cemeteries, etc.
There is no god (imho), but when you're in this Nation of ours, you're in a Nation founded by believers of several sects, who to simplify things decided to not have a national religion like the COE, as many of those founders were of different protestant sects, and deciding who's would be the default was a great way for them to not succeed. So they made sure it would not be a problem. It did not mean there should not be a Ten Commandments in a courthouse.

I've never been a student of the Koran, so I can't speak for the Islamic part in this madness. I do know quite a bit about Christ, however (he's considered one of the major influences on modern fundamentalist christianity; right behind Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and Billy Graham). The same people who are so proud of asking "What Would Jesus Do?" must have ignored the answer in this case.
Franti has it right, "The war for oil is a war for the Beast. The war on 'terror' is a war on peace."

Quality care if one has insurance. But then you have to pray that the insurance will actually pay rather than stiff you with the bill, and leave you facing bankruptcy and foreclosure. If it works for you, its a great system, if not.... Well let's just say that's why we have the highest infant mortality rates and lowest life expectancy in the industrialized world. to paraphrase:
"We have the worst system in the world for health care, until you are forced to use a different system"
I got G.E. while not covered. Yeah it was damn pricey and I'm still paying for it. But unlike what the leftist who want to use far worse systems like to claim, I was neither turned away, nor was any expense spared due to me not having insurance. Those who go to Bankruptcy and get Foreclosed are not lost because of the health care cost. It is usually due to lost work time and lack of planning on their part.
I used to live in N.O. and made nearly nothing. No insurance and none available through my part time job. Charity Hospital was just a few minutes away, but I chose to use regular hospitals and clinics and pat them off over time instead of sitting for hours on end and waiting for "free care". Sitting for 6 hours with a sick girl freind (forced to use Charity as a ward of the state and just turned 18 the provided insurance no longer covered her although she was not allowed to leave the state home until graduation) reinforced this as:
A: she had been there for 11 hours before I found out she was there. the 6 I was with her made a fine 17 hour visit time...heh.
B: almost 5 of those hours was sitting behind a lady having chest pains and eating Nitro pills like they were Tic Tacs. She was called just before Milady was and the daughter came out shortly after and told the rest of the waiting family that the Doc said it was another heart attack and this one was slightly less severe than the last one. almost 6 hours waited before seeing a Doc for a patient with a history of attacks, because she was coherent and not doing the Redd Foxx attack shtick.
That is what awaits us in any socialized system. We have them now(VA,and state run Free Clinics like Charity and Houma in Louisiana, the several here in DFW, etc...) and they don't work well. What makes anyone think making it all that way would be better?

Bush was in the Texas Air National Guard.

A plane that did go to the Theater and was sammed to the ground in depressing numbers until the brass decided it was a bad idea.
All this happened During GWB's service.
Where in the listed facts did there become room to claim any of that is not true?
I even left out that some claim he VOLUNTEERED to go with several air wings drawn to head over for support, but was refused due to insufficient flying, and not yet having completed all training.
He, as far as I know has not denied that, but also has never claimed it either, so I left that bit out.
To me it is an unproven fact.
Hell, the damned planes were deadly enough without someone pitching phone poles at you. Out of 875 F-102A interceptors built, 259 were lost to accidents or enemy action while serving in Vietnam, 29.6%.
Just flying an F102 outside of the war zone was nearly as dangerous as flying a F4 in theater.

Today arrives as witness to the long journey behind it,
so have mercy, for a seeker must travel far in search of truth.

But again, in my experience, the GOPers tend to be angrier, more vengeful. :shrug:
I was once one of them Ask Joe Lieberman how much the left has ingrained into the party. Joe is a Very Very Liberal man. But he thinks fighting the war is a good move so the party kicked him out. And then lost to him in the election.
Conservatives are not as a rule vindictive. Like I said they are just overwhelmed by the ignorance coming out of the Dems and the kooks trying for a party take over.
The other big problem is Conservatives don't see working in government (smaller is better) as a goal and Liberals would like EVERYONE working for the government. Yet Liberalist Socialist governments do not work well. They tend to go broke, promote corruption in job lot sizes (UN scandals are a prime case point) and drive out any growth by limiting business potential.
Look south of the border for another prime case point. There is no viable reason for a resource heavy land like Mexico to have to export people illegally to make it's money. Dollars shipped home by illegals is the biggest import they got. Kidnapping is the growth industry in Mexico City.

A comments board should exist for all remarks: good, bad, indifferent. Slanted to any one of those three exclusively, and you have boredom.
As to whether or not listener remarks will have an effect on the playlist--is that really anyone's concern? I've always believed that this was a forum for pure commentary, for its own sake. I never expected it to be any sort of catalyst. I may be alone in that theory.
I guess the 72% of votes being in the 7+ range made him say what he did. Silly to complain about comments either way.

Libby has a probable faulty recall of the conversation he was convicted over. Russerts testomony changed from Fitz to the trial...wich of his is the correct version of his story? Fitz knew who "leaked" Plame's name before he ever asked a single question of Libby or the rest of the administration, knew there was no crime, yet went forward with his "investigation, fishing for someone he could trip up. Libby was the lucky guy.
Bet he is really glad he Pro Bonoed that case for Armitage years back.
Clinton is no longer a lawyer, being disbarred for lying under oath. What was he impeached for? Lying under oath...guess he was guilty after all.

Maybe because in large part his policies were to blame for the troubles were are dealing with now.

Why our health system is so bad, people from other countries come here so they can get the operation done before they die waiting. Border towns in the north are doing bang up biz serving Canukistanis who would rather pay Full price to get a procedure done right, and promptly. Nationalized health care is a nightmare. At least the Brits can go to a private doc or hospital. Canada took that option away.
Why when I had no insurance, the hospital Demanded I pay them Money...for services rendered! The nerve.
$150 up front no less! Oh I have been slowly paying the rest off and some went to collections, but I didn't die of Gastro Enteritis. Thanks to lawyers willing to sue for huge amounts, and juries willing to award the settlements, Hospitals are not too happy to drive one out the door for not having insurance, unless it is a obvious non life threatening condition. Could healthcare be cheaper...sure, Maybe if the Doc didn't need to pay half my yearly wage for his malpractice insurance, he wouldn't need to charge me $100 to look at me in the emergency room.

As you say, he is Historically proven to exist, much like any other historical figure. Now he seems to have been both a pleasant person most of the time (although he had temper enough to trash a temple)and benefited from a very good public relations firm. Sometimes, the stories don't match (Proving even then the press couldn't get the story straight) but that may be due to the stories being written some time after he was tacked to some lumber and left to bleed out and suffocate(crucifixion is one of the most unpleasant ways of execution). Part of the reason for his crucifixion was he didn't fit the "prophecies" of how the messiah was going to act. So many Jews rejected the claims. His actions as a whole (leaving aside any miracle claims, and he never seemed to be the one bragging about those) seem to square with his teachings. I won't claim that is a bad thing either.
I was going to go off on an Islam comparison, but I've decided I blathered on enough.

To someone like me, he was delusional but not in a dangerous way. Like Mohamed later, he took his delusions, added them to his religious beliefs and made them his teachings. As luck would have it, he was not a violent sort. Unlike Mohamed, who was a rather violent sort. Even before he went into the cave and lacking water, and food became what most people who suffer that do, delirious, Mohamed was not the most pleasant human on the planet. No surprise his version of religion is not the most benign.
Now-a-days, we medicate folks like that.
Or in the case of David Karesh(sp?), try to subdue them (and if Clinton and Reno hadn't wanted a big show, they would have grabbed him on one of his morning jogs around the perimeter of the Davidian compound..but I digress).

You make some good points. China and India are by far the most criminal polluters on the planet. But remember, they are because they're working overtime to catch up with the American ideal as far as business, industry, and even lifestyle and culture. Sadly.
Also, the thing with Bush and Kyoto is not simply blaming him. It is symbolic of the fact that the Bush administration does not give a flying fuck about the environment or the future of life on this planet, and has systematically tried to destroy every last protected area in the US in the name of industry. If you don't believe me, check out the NRDC for more info on Bush's atrocious environmental record. Yipes! The USSR was perhaps the worst poluter ever. Commie gov't and socialist govts(India) tend to Stay poluters. Catching up to the "Evil" U.S. is not why. We polute far far less per dollar made than most anybody. The Market alone makes that possible. Bush is for nuke plants (even though he refuses to say the damn word right) because they polute less...his ranch house is one of the more energy efficiant and eco freindly (compare to any one of the Goracles homes). His policies are often misinterpreted as being polution freindly when they are not, others are flawed and deserve any scorn they get. His policy after Rita and Katrina about Gas was case in point...He made it a temp and it should have been permanent. He stated we need only one formula for gasoline. The Econuts cried foul. But the Most Ecofreindly gas was his intention to be made the "National Formula" and this would simplify things and actually drop the price some. Milage would suffer (That formula is less efficient...so it actually polutes more than some more efficient ones, but they banned the ingrediant that allows that) but the simplification would cause some discord with states and local govts that are getting a kickback or earmark for the local formulae.
But basically your saying that it is OK to slam Bush for Kyoto because although it is more Clintons fault, Bush deserves the scorn. That makes sense how?

More a righteous ass of indeterminate origin. Remember it was Al's wife Tipper who was behind the big push on this stuff. Frank was a Conservative Capitalist Libertarian of the First Order. That Frank held his own doesn't surprise me nor his ability to remain insulting in the most pleasant way.

Not just SRV, but Hendrix too. You don't hear it as much on this tune, but you'll hear SRV playing licks that are almost exactly as Albert King played them. In some ways Stevie took this to a new level, but he could never quite duplicate Albert's soul and feeling.
Albert and Stevie played together on an album called, I believe, "In Session". A very fun album, if for no other reason than to listen to the interchange between them.
If you want some fun, play some Albert King to a new blues lover. They'll accuse him of stealing Stevie Ray's licks. Albert claimed SRV as blood he liked him so much.

At the time of his enrollment in TANG the likelyhood of his being sent was rather high. during his flight training the pentagon decided sending SAM fodder was a bad idea.
Of course, this will do nothing to sate the antiBush from claiming he got out of his service by enlisting for TANG. So where's Kerry's service records and why doesn't he want them released?
A good exit strategy for Iraq is perhaps Victory and lasting Peace. Germany took several years Post Surrender and many troop deaths before it was Peaceful. VJ day was not the end of Hostilities by a long chalk. We still have a preasance there. Though we recently announce a cut back.

P.S. A "troll" is some one from michigan and not a Yooper, all those south of the Mackinac Bridge.

The Who - I'm Free
(Nov 27, 2003 - 09:42) | Watching Roger on the History Channel (Extreme Hisory) is fun...He'll eat most anything.
The best part so far has been watching him sho a guy how to use a spoke shave/draw knife, while relating how they made their own guitars back when he was a kid. :)

this is not an original.
and the only copy I know of is on The Sky Is Crying.
I guess I'd call his rendition of Mary Had A Little Lamb original though

Of course if you find Louie Louie easier to listen to because it is in english...I guess that is your problem.

The other classic station, that would play this every so often, was bought out by Cirrus, I believe, and stopped playing good music.
Thank the gods for Bill and RP!

3 Doors Down - Kryptonite
(Jan 10, 2003 - 14:58) | quote From: The Ego
Date: Dec 7,2000
This song is written to sound good, and that is what it does. It does not have deep emotions attached to it like other radio paradise songs. It is just a song that does exactly what the writer wants. It inspires cheap thrills.
So what your saying is the rest of the songs on RP were written to sound bad???
these guys sound good because they are good....or am I just being silly?
sheesh
as for deep emotion listen to Loser from the same album...and the new album sounds like a good one too

spot on....the whole reason anyone has heard of Moby is he sold his stuff to anyone who would pay him.

XTC - Dear God
(Oct 31, 2002 - 20:29) | Religion has Killed more people in the history of man than any other reason....I think that is part of the meaning.
Think of the things done "In God's (Allah's) Name".
Well, many aren't very nice now are they?
Like many of the people I have met in life I tend to let you have whatever belief you want...just don't try to ram it down my throat...
If every religion is "The Only True Religion", then Who Is right???
I was raised Catholic....then I got a brain and decided that most organized religion was full of BS.
Control is what they are after...some folks need that control in their life. I don't. I'll make my own decisions thank you.
I don't think you need a big building to speak with your maker...and don't point to the bible either...it has been changed so many times it has too many holes in it to be much more than a lose guide to what God wants.
The Gospel can't even get Jesus' last words right...which goes to show you that reporters haven't changed in over 2,000 years.

and I think this is what is meant by eclectic:
Now Playing: Peggy Lee - Fever
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood
Augustus Pablo - Point Blank
Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale

I'm a sucker for good guitar playing...even if it is(gasp) contry/western(I saw Roy Clark break a string playing The Orange Blossom Special and just change octaves, he never missed a beat and it sounded just as good). Not the strumming that most of the people tend to do, but real playing.

Better Than Ezra - One More Murder

In fact...It ain't Jazz Fest without the Neville Brothers or Dr. John... They also do shows at night localy....Tippatina's is the old stomping ground for most N.O. bands
And remember....
most Types of music are derivatives of other types

It wouldnot surprise me to go back there and find that bus with that 8 track welded in place....
We tried to put in a Kiss and a Frampton comes Alive but it refused to play them (it ate the Kiss).

He is a poet who does his work to music.....
A great singer with range,,, he is not, was not, nor will be.
He does have a vast greatness of works tho, and should be honored for that and he has a style that has been imitated a lot.
Aretha Franklin has Range ( the ability to sing an aria two ranges lower than her own and still make an impressive emotional impact), Bob Dylan has a Style all his own.

Arron Neville is a scary lookin Dude but is nice as can be now ( he was a knee breaker for someone and did some jail time) and he got almost no money from his first hit " Tell it like it is".
