8336. arkymalarky - 2/3/2007 10:51:36 PM On another subject, though I can't yet get anything much out of YouTube, I hope Viacom's decision comes back to bite Viacom bigtime. They pulled some crap with Dish Network a few years ago, Dish stuck to their guns and explained why to their customers, and Viacom had to eat it and back down. People evidently didn't want their MTV badly enough to drop Dish for it, which I found very funny. 8337. wonkers2 - 2/11/2007 1:43:45 AM "Move it On Over" by Hank Williams For Jex. Before your time, but part of your heritage. 8338. wonkers2 - 2/11/2007 1:46:13 AM Honky Tonk Blues for Jex 8339. jexster - 2/11/2007 4:41:57 AM I ain't from Monroe Wonk! Kewl tho 8340. jexster - 2/11/2007 4:42:39 AM Nor from Vidor...Robert was raised on Hank Williams 8341. wonkers2 - 2/11/2007 5:21:29 AM Me too. I remember the day he died as vividly as when JFK died. 8342. jexster - 2/11/2007 5:36:19 AM Had a friend from DC....via Alexandria...loved him..then too the Senator's man Friday back from the days of his Gov race....Manny Walker RIP..loved that Vidor shit 8343. wonkers2 - 2/12/2007 12:03:11 AM Big Mama Thornton sings "Hound Dog" Detroit's Finest Blues Rock Singer 8344. wabbit - 2/12/2007 7:51:54 PM Beyonce and Mary J. Blige are R&B? Wow, I'm out of touch with the Grammy Awards categories. Disappointed (but not too surprised) that Carrie Underwood won New Artist, I was rooting for Corinne Bailey Rae. Hooray for John Mayer, The Police, Stevie Wonder and the Dixie Chicks. Hooray that James Blunt's dreadful You're Beautiful didn't win anything. Boo and a bitchslap to Jaime Foxx, he has become so obnoxious. 8345. arkymalarky - 2/13/2007 5:46:04 AM I thought Best New Artist was the kiss of death anyway, so I'm glad she got it.
Your comment on James Blunt cracked me up, because Bob and I both like that song and Mose VIOLENTLY despises it. If you want a Mose rant (which are pretty entertaining, if I say so myself), just mention that song to her. 8346. judithathome - 2/13/2007 3:19:11 PM I'm officially old...I don't recognoze half those people mentioned in the Grammy posts. 8347. judithathome - 2/13/2007 3:19:37 PM recognIze...it's too early for this. 8348. arkymalarky - 2/13/2007 11:31:01 PM I would say teaching high school makes me know many of them, but my students don't listen to most of those, so I don't really know. Spook gave me the Dixie Chicks album, but I've only listened to it a little. I need to put it in my car. Now that I have Sirius radio, it's actually worse. 57 channels and nothin on is right.
Mose's favorite female vocalist is someone whose name I can't remember now. It seems like it's two initials and a last name, but that may be someone else. I'll have to call her after she gets off work to find out, because now it's--Imogene Heep? Is that a real person? 8349. wabbit - 2/14/2007 1:14:33 AM Yes, it is. 8350. arkymalarky - 2/14/2007 6:59:18 AM Yep. Mose adores her. Has her as her main phone ringtone. 8351. wonkers2 - 2/16/2007 1:04:01 AM Moties are missing a great video above in #8343 above. Big Mama Thornton is "the real deal." She was the first to record "Hound Dawg" several years before Elvis turned it into a big hit. If you want to hear and see some real Detroit blues, give it a try. I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it. 8352. arkymalarky - 2/16/2007 1:10:17 AM As soon as I'm on WildBlue (supposedly next month) I'll check it out. 8353. wonkers2 - 2/16/2007 1:57:21 AM You'll like it. She's a legend in Detroit. 8354. prolph - 2/16/2007 12:11:09 PM arky et.al. more on the goya, I really liked your asking the studemts what
atracted them. i have had the good fortune to see it in madrid. several
times in fact. it is a huge picture and stunning to see for the first time
well and more times, the most atractive in real life is the fire which
acrually lights up the room. the light is so brilliant that a young man next to me were both looking at the ceiling to see if there was a light aimed at the picture. manet also did a similar picture and while i like manet he didn't come close. it is always for me to see a real life picture that i have
loved for years in books and then have the paint leap off the canvas in a museum,
patsy
