  1. The entire British Invasion and American rock and roll in general was "ripping off" old blues artists. The good ones started with the old blues riffs and updated the genre to make it their own (Eric Clapton, Led Zep, etc) I personally love the Beach Boys 'Holland' album. I had a great respect for Levon Helm of The Band, who threatened to walk away when producers were going to cut Muddy Waters out of 'The Last Waltz' and leave NEIL DIAMOND in! Muddy Waters and his peers were the foundation of The Band; a sound perfected with Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan. MY Most Over Rated Band - The Bee Gees !
  2. I cannot look past 9/12/2010. I have no expectations anymore, after having expectations dashed every year since 1967. That said, I will be there at the Ralph for the opener, and I will watch and cheer for the Bills every week all season long. I am bringing some Dolphin fabric to start the grill fire. Right now I only hope they start the season 1-0.
  3. Just a perspective - you are certainly entitled to your opinion. Parts of this article were emphasized by me. Link to complete article follows. A sad story indeed. Full article by Terry Robinson , a self proclaimed die hard Patriots fan: Darrly Stingley - from a "then and now" blog
  4. two or three - general parking ETA - Saturday afternoon in OP! thanks
  5. Puerto Vallarta, MX would be a nice "snow-bird" location. It would be nice to be living most of the year closer to my kids, though. They are really cool people! I HATE New York taxes. Government in general has been given way too much authority to simply raise taxes instead of budgeting money already in hand, like we have to do! We can only blame ourselves for letting them DO it.
  6. Eric, I will be arriving Saturday. Did you get my PM?
  7. I think that exhaustive media coverage of everything (big and small) has numbed many people's emotions to what others have experienced. It can become difficult to absorb it all. Turn off your television or PC. Step away from the media machines. Take a walk, and do someone who needs help a favor. You will feel better.
  8. Gee, I asked for TWO free tickets to the Indy game on New Year's Eve last season, if anyone was not going to the Ice Bowl, and no one complained. I used Trading Post, not the Stadium Wall, if that is what you meant by the right place. There was no 'begging' by the poster you jumped on, BTW.
  9. That should teach you not to start a thread and walk away! The baby's Mom is a loser, and she would be a loser if there was no pot. She would just find another way to dull her senses and neglect her baby. Some people are barely human, sadly. I hope they find a better place for this child to be raised. Without getting into a big political debate, I do not smoke pot (now) and I resent not having the simple freedom of planting some weed in my garden for occasional responsible personal use.
  10. I like the changes Scott. Thanks again for your efforts!
  11. If it is not too late: 1 - Men's L 1 - Men's XL 2 - Women's Small Chex in da mail. I was out of town and had nothing but WIFI problems. If 2 late tear up check and send me a PM. Thanks the delinquent Rock
  12. Also curious, in your opinion when was it lower? Also not trying to be a smart ass, as I respect honest opinions. I have zero expectations from the Bills for a second year in a row. I will cheer and go to a couple games as always, because I love the Bills. It is bad now. When has it been worse?
  13. London Fletcher played well. Oh wait......
  14. What you mean "we". Heh
  15. Me too! hahahahahahahahahahahaha!
  16. Hi Tex! See you at the opener??
  17. AKA Cigar Mark! LOL
  18. ouch.
  19. Don't sweat it. It took me a minute to catch the sarcasm of the thread too. I figured I would read some responses and see if my instincts were right, before asking WTF! You would only have been a dork if you called him a pompous ass for posting it!
  20. Hmpf. Excuuuuuuuuuuse me!
  21. What a pile of stevestojan!
  22. Who?
  23. John, I am hoping that you and Lori will both be at Danny's before the Bills home opener. It was nice meeting you last year and Lori has become a real friend over several years!
