7815. judithathome - 8/26/2005 4:20:33 AM It does damage to us mentally whether we are conscious of it or not, and this in turn [a]ffects our relationship with our spouses and offspring .
Then stay home and avail yourself of Reader's Digest. 7816. Ulgine Barrows - 8/26/2005 8:04:25 AM Ms. No 7808, I am avoiding Coldplay because I'm smart enough not to be media victim, heh. It just seemed to be hyped too much, as you pointed out. I might buy it later.
I'd shoot you a scornful Styx look, but I really like their early stuff, so I won't. Death to Mr. Roboto, however. I hate that song. Bunch of juvie punks sneering at their Depression-era parents' hard work. Nothing like Styx's earlier work; that they came out with the roboto song after they were 'stars' is no surprise. They just got caught in a different machine than their parents did.
One of the first rock concerts I went to was when Styx released Equinox. After Grand Illusion, we parted ways.
I have a 1975 Bad Company concert t-shirt, too, and I melt every time I hear those first strains of
"Johnny was a school boy
When he heard his first Beatles song"
I cut that t-shirt up real fancy in the flashdance days. Hmm. Wonder what it'd fetch on ebay.
I really like the new Liz Phair "Everything to Me".... her fans have been disappointed in her, too. Said she didn't live up to "Exile in Guyville." And her response was, she was moving on to other things, to paraphrase.
Perhaps Styx will redeem themselves with me. They just turned psycho when they made it big, it seemed. 7817. Macnas - 8/29/2005 9:46:26 AM Styx were never popular here in the old world, the odd tune would chart now and then, much like Toto and Speedwagon.
I did hear enough of a tune by one of the Styx band members to detest it forever. Desert Moon it was, an awful radio friendly thing, truely dire in all respects. 7818. Magoseph - 8/29/2005 1:57:05 PM John G. Roberts Jr. could have easily ignored the letter from E. F. W. Wildermuth that came across his desk in December 1982. The correspondent, an octogenarian lawyer from New York, made an obscure procedural point about the Senate's jurisdiction based on his interpretation of the 17th Amendment; it was not the sort of question that would typically require serious attention from the White House counsel's office, where Mr. Roberts worked at the time.

7820. Macnas - 9/5/2005 4:31:23 PM Turners "The Fighting Temeraire" has been voted the greatest painting on display in England.
Good choice, it's on my picture wall already. 7821. Magoseph - 9/6/2005 10:34:15 AM Nick Spitzer on New Orleans' Cultural History 7822. jexster - 9/6/2005 5:32:00 PM Don't know him...I moved from NO to DC in 1973 7823. Ms. No - 9/6/2005 9:52:11 PM Juditha,
Back in the 70's in Spartanburg it was the done thing to show up to the local production of Hair in order to storm out in a dither after the nude scene......which everyone knew was coming.
If people don't want to be offended then they ought to just stay the fuck home with their Precious Memories statuettes and Church approved reading.
Honestly, the very idea that your personal offense meter is more important than my enjoyment of live theater is beyond absurd. I paid my money to see this, I'm enjoying it. If you need to masturbate your ego by causing a scene do it on your own dime.
I think people should be fined and penalized for disturbing live performance.
"You're not grown-up enough to watch live theater. Sorry, there's a $50 fine for disrupting the production and you're now barred from attendance." 7824. Ms. No - 9/6/2005 9:52:36 PM Mac,
No, I haven't heard of him. I'll keep an ear out. 7825. Ms. No - 9/6/2005 10:14:59 PM Ulgine,
The problem was that Dennis DeYoung lost his freakin' mind. The Roboto album killed the band. They hated the album, they hated the concert and they hated DeYoung when it was all said and done.
Tommy Shaw left the band, John Panozzo died, JY and DeYoung both went solo and DeYoung gave us Desert Moon (gag!) . Then they got back together to do a greatest hits album and a re-recording of Lady. They did a reunion tour, hit big and decided they still didn't like DeYoung. So they replaced him as lead singer and went on tour without him. Then Chuck went public with his HIV status and he left the band mostly ---but played some of their live dates. They settled their lineup cut two albums and apparently have an album of covers out right now that kicks ass.
Best Thing, Blue Collar Man, Snowblind, Suite Madame Blue, Crystal Ball....those are the songs I love, but I can still sing along to every word of every album since Tommy Shaw joined the band up through Kilroy. I'm such a geek. 7826. Ms. No - 9/6/2005 10:22:06 PM Oh, hey! Ulgine, if you like the older stuff best (and who doesn't) the Complete Wooden Nickel Recordings came out earlier this year. It's a double album CD with 35 re-mastered cuts for $20. Good deal! 7827. Macnas - 9/8/2005 7:06:46 PM I am now listening to Linton Kwesi Johnson, Independent Intavenshan.
Thank you. 7828. alistairconnor - 9/9/2005 11:34:45 AM A top natch poet.
Mmmm I need to pirate those 80s LKJ albums. I own the vinyl, after all, it wouldn't be a breach of copyright would it? 7829. Macnas - 9/9/2005 11:55:42 AM I won't tell if you don't.
I've rediscovered my reggae stash, and am overdosing on the likes of Johnson, I Jah Man and Big Youth.
Hey, I know I'm Irish and dead fish belly white, but you'd have to be deaf not to like that dub. 7830. Ulgine Barrows - 9/17/2005 8:31:58 AM Ms No, Suite Madame Blue, OK I'll play that card. Maybe. I abhor Mr Roboto so badly, you see. I liked reading your summation of the band's end credits.
eMusic has Peter Murphy 'Love Hysteria'.
You can join for a free two weeks and get free 50 tracks. I think you are smart enough to read the sign-up, you initially have to give a credit card and if you don't like the serive then you quit. If you forget, they charge you.
If you do decide to join, please email me, as I will also get free stuff, but no pressure if you don't like the service. They have no Britney Spears or Nirvana, current big names....it is all indies. Or they have bought out the rights of older stuff as with Peter Murphy, and the first Coldplay and 50 cent, also some excellent jazz and classical cuts.

I have his albun with Cuts You Up. 7832. Ms. No - 9/23/2005 4:33:04 PM Hmmm....I just might give that a try. I'll let you know if I do, Ulgine.
7833. Ms. No - 9/23/2005 4:33:47 PM Connor,
I don't think it's wrong to download stuff you already paid for. Especially if you bought it on cassette!!! I've got no qualms about replacing old worn out cassette recordings or backing up my vinyl so I can travel with it.
One of my favorite albums ever Thanks I'll Eat It Here --- Lowell George's only solo effort --- I've bought twice on CD. The first one disappeared and the second one was so badly mistreated during a raucus house party that most of it won't play anymore. The man is dead, he's got no children and I've already paid for the right to listen to it twice.
Now if only it were all actually available online.
Sheesh. 7834. PelleNilsson - 9/24/2005 7:32:45 PM I invite you to admire my latest ouevre "Misty Sunset With Concrete":
Let's put a more artistic touch on that:
Do you remember this horrible technique? When was that? 60s, 70s?
