In some ways, George W. is a lot like Reagan, but with a religious fervor. He simply forges ahead impervious to the evidence around him... He may mean well, but I find his attitude to be dangerous..

I hope they do well. Im looking for a reason to dump Comcast...

Wavy Gravy was a member of the Diggers and an organizer of sorts. I believe he was involved in starting a number of cooperatives, etc. Sounds like a great concert--Ive seen him a number of these performers, but never all on one stage

Maybe, but I'm with you. Some people think kids should just study math, english and the basics, and that the other stuff should be dealt with at home. I dont agree... I think the Columbine kids suffered from alientation--nobody was paying attention enuff to encourage what good they brought to the table. The problem with education today is that its all about numbers and being number 1, instead of helping nurture well-balance people...and with that recognizing each individuals talents and encouraging them...

I wonder whether Jackson Browne and Metalica will perform together lol

I bet you got that information from the Eddie Murphy movie Trading Places lol

Disgusting :reallymad: :reallymad:

Sandy Denny, the actress? Curious as to what Stevie Winwood did...and Maggie Bell usually had great bands and could almost sing as well as Janis Joplin--too bad her career never really took off

When the disco craze happened, I switched to fusion--herbie hancock, etc. I remember having a meeting to work at a film company that had a music division that released Donna Summers, etc. The head of the company, who later ran Sony, was playing the latest hit when I walked in his door. I think he thought this would impress me that he was 'with it', but I knew immediately that this was not the place for me. Imagine trying to do work and having to listen to that junk all day, and seeing your boss prancin around to that crap and saying 'this is hot'

CA--You woulnt have Stacy's number, wouldya? :bigsmile:

we tend to do a lot of congratulatory threads around here--birthdday, graduations, whatever is important to a particular member. Hunter made the Janet announcement--and I congratulated Hunter. these developments were more coincidental than anything else, but we would have congratulated them if it had been another site becvuase they are members and sometimes hang here.. i doubt you will see much more zp talk..other than the occassional reference by other members..even with janet and hunter, as they are equally involved with pctechtalk, and the focus here is music, related digital and filesharing news, politics and fun stuff

lol

Young bands on the make The next big things you should be listening to now -- before they achieve total world domination. Plus: A beautifully designed, free and legal download site. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Thomas Bartlett April 21, 2004 | Before getting to this week's tracks, I'd like to put in a plug for Better Propaganda, the source for this week's Ratatat song, and last week's Silent League song. It's a beautifully designed, free, legal download site, with a great selection of independent music. If you haven't yet heard the TV on the Radio tracks available for download there, grab them -- this band might rule the world someday. Like TV on the Radio, the Veils, the French Kicks, Franz Ferdinand and Ratatat are all young bands on the make -- and Franz Ferdinand is already well on the way to world domination.

After releasing the acclaimed Trench and Stuck a Monument, the Liars new release has been panned by Rolling Stone and the rest of the music press as the worst album of the year. Philip Sherburne of Slate tells you why: **** music box Pop, jazz, and classical. Lying Liars and the Lies They Tell Why They Were Wrong So We Drowned is the most-hated album of the year. By Philip Sherburne Posted Friday, April 16, 2004, at 11:29 AM PT When New York's Liars released their second album, They Were Wrong So We Drowned, the other month, Rolling Stone gave it one star out of five. Spin graded it an "F" and called it "unlistenable," and Billboard panned it as "abrasive," "self-indulgent," and "a gigantic step backward." What made the rejection particularly unusual is that these magazines had loved Liars' first album, and the follow-up had itself met with praise elsewhere, including Entertainment Weekly and the New York Times. But the story of Liars' divided reception isn't really about whether the album is any good; it's an object lesson in the risks a band faces in straying from formula at this moment in time—and in the limits of the current critical taste for music with a retro bent. The fact is that They Were Wrong So We Drowned is a spellbinding album, if not one that is easy to listen to. You can read the full story here: :read this: http://slate.msn.com/id/2098917/

This story appared in Wired, by Salon's technology guru, Farhad Manjoo: High Holy Day for Potheads 02:00 AM Apr. 20, 2002 PT April has two days when many Americans, en masse, engage in something that's plainly illegal but is, they swear, OK to do anyway because everyone does it and it doesn't hurt a soul and it makes you feel just so very happy. The first of these days has already passed: April 15, tax day, when millions of Americans, according to the latest research, fail to pay billions in taxes. The other day is April 20 -- Saturday -- a day when thousands, if not millions, will "mow the grass." That's a polite way of saying that these folks get baked, blitzed, paggered, blazed, obliterated, perved, shmacked ... in other words, they get high, as 4/20 is recognized by many as "national smokers day." On message boards and community sites across the Web, it's possible to find people who are "420 friendly," meaning that they'd love to meet you and smoke your dope. And for such people, 4/20 is the recognized day to get your smoke on. And especially at 4:20 a.m. or p.m. on 4/20, and especially while listening toPhish. This year, dozens of celebrationsare planned across the globe. In San Francisco, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, NORML, will finish up its two-day conference "celebrating personal freedom." "Once again we have scheduled the conference to coincide with '4/20,' that date that has become associated in the popular culture as a special day for marijuana smokers -- sort of what 'It's Miller time' has become to beer drinkers," the group said on its site. "We hope to build on that tradition and encourage supporters from across the country to join us in San Francisco as a way to celebrate 4/20." The event comes after a week of attention focused on NORML, which spent half a million dollars to run ads(PDF) in New York City asking Mayor Michael Bloomberg to fine and ticket -- rather than arrest -- people caught smoking marijuana in the street. The ads feature Bloomberg's response to aNew York magazine reporter's query about whether he'd ever used marijuana. The mayor said, "You bet I did. And I enjoyed it." Given the nature of the celebration, of course, not all of the scheduled events are so political. Most, it seems, are music festivals that might have been going on anyway, but which promise to have some added pep in honor of the day. The Web is rife with speculation regarding the origin of the term "420." An old yarn has it that 420 was a California police code cops used when they'd spotted someone getting high, and that drug users co-opted the word. Some think it has to do with Hitler's birthday, April 20th -- which is, not entirely coincidentally, also the day in 1999 that Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris killed 13 people, and themselves, at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. But the consensus opinion has come to rest on a theory put forth by Steven Hager, the editor of High Times, in the magazine in 1998. Hager told the story of the Waldos, a group of San Rafael High School kids who gave Hager evidence -- letters, and so on -- to show they had created the term 420.
