  1. if he was going fast enough, he could have run up the adjacent guy wires like a ramp, then hung on the line
  2. the gannet group (at least all their wisconsin papers) dropped doonesbury a long time ago anyone notice how unfunny modern comic strips are? comics with real life storylines like crankshaft or for better or worse, the family circus (which hasn't been even mildly amusing for decades) and so on get fuzzy is kind of funny, but other than that its a page written by out of touch, unfunny old people, or guys living off of their dad's legacy
  3. that doesn't mean much in a series that killed off almost all of its main characters and resurrected them they'll just fire the franchise into a temporal distortion field, or an unstable genesis project planetoid
  4. apollo 18 is my favorite flood is also good, that's where "birdhouse" comes from their stuff is so diverse, there is something interesting on all of the albums (there is a 2 disc "greatest hits" called "30 years of dial a song", a good sample)
  5. yes performers are glorified slaves--how dare they defy the wishes of their masters? they don't deserve to have 30 second opinions between 4 minute songs did she go on an anti government tirade for an half an hour? nope. she called mm a patriot and then played desperado musicians should just say "thanksa massa" and "yessuh" and sing songs like a jukebox don't want opinions? try muzak
  6. i didn't even know 12 year old boys could get pregnant, much less with quints he must have a good mad scientist on staff
  7. unmentioned is the fact that she said before the show that she was trying to get fired (from the AP source)"In an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal before the show, Ronstadt said, 'I keep hoping that if I'm annoying enough to them, they won't hire me back.'" moore's response (same AP wire) Moore said Timmins owes Ronstadt an apology. "I have an idea how you can make it up to her - and to the millions of Americans you have offended," Moore wrote. "Invite her back and I'll join her in singing 'America the Beautiful' on your stage. Then I will show 'Fahrenheit 9/11' free of charge to all your guests and anyone else in Las Vegas who wants to see it."

    Wilco

    all the talent from Uncle Tupelo went to Son Volt in the great schism Farrar is 100x better than Tweedy, but Tweedy has a cult of jam band potheads generating spin for him on their blogs
  9. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=101308 it's in the works
  10. TMBG have never had significant industry support if they can make some money off of this setup, i'm all for it, because maybe some other groups will do it too. unlike itunes etc. where the money goes to the RIAA , this goes to the band by selling a cd, they get a buck--by selling an online album they can make significantly more than that--they paid their dues for 20 years, i think they deserve it (plus the cd costs 16, and the online is 10, but since they give you a pdf of covers, there is no real difference) (i gave them $14.98)
  11. they might be giants started their own online music store, but without the DRM bullshit of the major labels pure unadulterated 256 LAME mp3 at a buck a track (9.99 an album) complete with pdf album art they are selling a selection of their newest albums, but also their most recent live shows (with free samples) i love TMBG, and i hope this setup works well for them http://theymightbedownloads.com
  12. mozilla problems get fixed IE problems just keep piling up

  15. not only that, he takes no prisoners, and pulls no punches i never saw him mix metaphors either what a guy!

  20. if you really want to keep trasck of something, subscribe to the thread the fact that there are sticky topics that haven't had a response in a month is a symptom of an illness
  21. rock drummers are the bottom of the food chain anyway even a "great" rock drummer is about 3 steps ahead of the fry cook at wendy's any rock drummer can be replaced with absolutely no affect on the band (unless they happen to own the van that carries the equipment around)
  22. laziness isn't a good enough reason stickying is for important threads, or ones of lasting value, not for todays tennis scores just because a mod can sticky a thread for their own convenience doesn't mean they should
  23. "wifebeater shirts" i'd imagine it has roots in the wardrobe of one stanley kowalski, in a play called a streetcar named desire, but that's just conjecture
  24. free fallin' is not from a heartbreakers album--full moon fever was a solo project with jeff lynne (though heartbreakers contributed individually to various songs) full moon fever featured the wilburys in fact any die hard petty fan knows that the relationship between petty and the heartbreakers has been tenuous and volatile, members have come and gone (often explosively), and their best work together ended in 1981 full moon fever ushered in a new "music for fun" era (rather than music as contractual obligation) where members freely did other projects, and the later projects (including the wilburys and the petty solo project wildflowers) were a lot better than the stuff made between 1981 and 1989 (and recently for that matter)
