    Calling Beatles fans...you can listen to an amazing event

    in Off the Wall Archives

    Posted

    I'm glad he's around and he does deserve every last bit of adulation he gets---his contributions to pop music can never be ignored. But he always (to me at least) was one of those guys who needed a partner to balance some of his goofier impulses. Jagger and Richards are like that too. Their solo stuff is next to unlistenable. Pete Townshend's songwriter fell apart once the chemistry changed in the who (literally and figuratively). My favorite songwriter is Robert Pollard. Based on who he is collaborating with his stuff is either absolute perfection or boring self indulgent dreck.

     

     

    Keith Richards Talk is Cheap is an excellent CD. Disagree that balance is needed.

     

    Actually, there a quite a few - unless you're using his bank account as the sole measure. Otherwise, I really never even considered Sir Paul ' legendary ' at all - not even close. Just another aging pop star.

    Get a grip.

    Those are songs Paul wrote while with the Beatles. All very good.

     

    I can't speak for AJ, but I was referring to the pop dreck he wrote post Beatles, like:

     

    Band on the Run, Listen What the Man Said, Silly Love Songs (I just threw up in my mouth, a little), No More Lonely Nights...

    Try listening to his current stuff instead his past stuff!

     

    Yes, I know Paul does plenty of Beatles songs in concert. But to me, it's like Steve Winwood returning to his past and signing Traffic and Blind Faith songs. They seem hollow now.

     

    Winwood and McCartney were very talented musicians. Both of them sold out and made crap for many years. They are dead to me.

    Try listening to Eric clapton and steve winwood's live CD!

     

    Baby I'm Amazed.

     

    The concert was Paul singing whatever he wanted including many Beatles songs of course.

     

     

    That would Maybe I'm amazed

    Famous Bills Hits

    Does anyone remember that hit that John Hagy laid on somebody back in '89? I've seen it on highlight films from time to time.

    Irving Fryer!

     

    !964 - The Stratton hit kick-started our team to win the Championship game. The Chargers literally died when Lincoln was scraped off the field.

     

    The Moats hit was not nearly as good and we got clobbered by a back up.

     

    These hits should never be mentioned in the same breath.

    Bob Smith has the photo on ebay just prior to Stratton laying the lumber.

    How are we EVER supposed to compete

    While it looks like doom and gloom, we need to do our part in primarily drafting well. We have sucked in this department for ages and we have to hope that Nix, whaley and co. do a better job in adding and replacing talent consistently through the draft. Then we need to draft a 'franchise' QB such as a Manning/Brees/Brady or build such a superior defense that the opposing teams QB is neutralized. Finally, tough as it may sound, out-coach Bellicheck. For far too long he has taken their talent and enhanced it with some very good game prep and in-game management. We need to beat him in coaching as well.

    We will not become competitive overnight but do the above and in a few years time, when Brady's skills start to wane, we will have a chance to take over the mantel of an elite team one more time.

     

    How many years you got? Could take another ten.

    Chargers to L.A.? Concerns Really Mounting in SD

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    The City of Chula Vista offered property for the Chargers. Nothing happened there. The Stadium sits right in the middle of the county. Probably the worst stadium to watch football in the league. I don't understand why there haven't got a deal struck there.

     

    Not happening

     

    You have read it here first.

     

    I saw on the news that the SD downtown center city development group (a SD Gov agency to develop downtown) were having private negotiations with the Chargers and could not comment on what was taking place.

     

    My take on Spanos selling off a portion is to raise the money needed to build a new stadium in downtown San Diego right beside Petco park. The pieces all fit. Sorry no cloak and dagger moves.

     

    San Diego is not moving to LA. Jaguars might be moving to LA.

    Isn't Alex and out of town owner? This makes sense your comment. The rest of the idiots have zero clue.
