You're comparing musical notes to lyrics.
You could read the lyrics to "Stairway to Heaven" and it would stand on its own.
Nice imagery, clever use of metaphor, and it is written in ENGLISH.
Since when did "the" become "da"?
As long as we a talking about Led Zepplin, don't you think "Led Zepplin 3" and "Presence" are underated?
No. Like I said before... An earlier generation would rip LZ for being repetitive... Especially the way Plant would "scream" out the lyrics... I gotta admit, it gets to me... How many times can you tolerate "She's buying her way to heaven."?

you are taking it out of the context of the song
if i were to transcribe a Zeppelin riff, they are usually only a few notes, lets say Dazed and Confused, amazing, classic song.... 8 notes, i can write 8 notes here and say, "OH, it takes a genius to write 8 notes?!?!" well, yes and no
but put into its own context, with feeling and being performed its genius
I feel like my grandfather lives in all these people who are slamming rap. He would say exactly what you said above. His bet peeve was the constant repeating... Times never change...

This from a guy whose sig line is from a man who thought ketchup was a vegtable...
Does anybody else get the irony in Ronnies choice of words?Hey... And don't mock mine... Nothin' wrong with the "weed!"

I don't have time to crap at work... Boss won't let me...
Anyway I hate bringing my own TP... -
Red Sox have to spend in order to compete with the Evil Empire period. Im also wishing for a salary cap because Spankees/Chokees dont have the front office to compete with the Red sox. I hope they get RJ because Javier is going to be a damn good pitcher. Varitek will resign and im not worried about the pitching at all. They will sign Clement,Millwood or Perez or trade for either AJ Burnett or Sheets. And didnt Schiling say he wasnt going to be able to pitch in playoffs after his first start in ALCS? Im not worried and neither is any red sox fan. Chokees will not beat out the red sox in the long run period!!
Over the course of say 100 years... You are entitled to choke once?

[My 2 Cents]
That is what it strikes me as... As much as the Pats are good, they seem like a bunch of a-holes... Not that I am a Bills fan
... There is something edgy about them. Something about Belicheks attitiude that gets me??... Years ago, I always felt the same thing about Elway.As much as I want the Bills to win it all... It would be that much sweeter if they did it with a team that I truly respected across the board. Winning goes far in gaining that respect yet, to me it is not everything. I am not saying I couldn't enjoy it either.

What was that, three WildCards out of 5 in the WS? To boot we are on a 3 year streak...
Oops BF!

Didn't Debbie Harry of "Blondie" not rap in the song Rapture? That had to be what almost 25 years ago?... I think you can trace the origins even further back?

... Huh?
How do you define country?
Depending how you define it, isn't it the root of all things that are considered "American music.?"
Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily like rap or country (there is some that actually appeals to me)... But, I respect it for the genre that it is.

I think she did... Re-read her posts... You've been here long enough to know what she did? Garbage insults aside... I find this thread very humorous. Just look at how all the military lemmings are wetting themselves.
Defend your honor, get creative!

With the USACE, I would just whip out my little "Just Do It" card they gave me. Now what was the 3 part criteria again?... Ethical, legal, and will I accept accountability?... Who needs to remember that... I'd just whip out the card!

The link is up and running now!

I can't use the link.
Why does it have to be tall?... It isn't like many ships use the Black Rock Channel any more? If they need to pass... Just break the bulk down. I am pretty sure there is still some arcane USCG rule dictating the height at the span section?

High here in Chicago is predicted to be 17... So it might get colder than that 34 in Cincy?

EVERY Bills fan!?!?
Just like Im sure EVERY Pats fan knew Brady was gonna be great from Day 1 right?
Labeling everyone into one thought will get you nowhere
Some teams can be built overnight as a contender, its not the rule, I agree it can be done, but its not done with the snap of a finger either.
Don't let it bother you. Every Pats fan will be enternally bitter towards TD until thier first love , Mr. Nice Guy, Bledsoe is out of the league and playin' checkers at an old folks home. It is the nature of the beast... They rip TD endlessly because he took DB. Every Pats fan would have been happy to see him hang it up after 2001... As long as he plays they won't be vindicated, they will just find other reasons to lash out on.
I am not saying that they were wrong. I just can't understand why they can't let Bledsoe off their mind and why they keep on ripping TD?
It has got to be a Bledsoe thing at the heart of their TD ire?
As long as they can still wheel the guy out... I say stick it to the Patsies and all thier troll lovin' fans!

I still hold the honor of catching him mistyping a certain automobile model...
Then again, he denied that too... Deferring blame to what he cut and pasted... His kindergarten teacher has to be proud?
I guess some guys just don't get it?

Could it occur to some of you that maybe the doctors made a mistake that put him in a two week coma? Yeah lets blame the victim here. Contrary to popular beliefe doctors do make mistakes. There are no details released in this article yet people assume it's part of the risk of the surgury so Weis should live with it?
Yah!
Oh, wait... He is a fat-ass, Patsie coach... I say, let 'em die!
Only kidding, sensitive folk out there.

I was never one of the ones calling for TD's head, though I had my doubts about some of his moves. But stuff like this confirms that guys like me, anyway, don't know enough to make meaningful comments.
Wiley, fir instance--I was distressed when the Bills let him get away. I figured he was just coming into his own as a DE, after three years, and would be a solid performer if not a star. I guess San Diego and Dalls thought so too, Boy were we wrong. TD was right.
Same with Cowart, whom I also waqs distressed to see go.
I was never a huge Peerless Price fan, so that one didn't bother me so much.
The point is, however, that building and managing a team is a complex business that involves a dozen different skills--drafting, talent evaluation, cap management, hiring coaches, etc. etc. I could question other TD moves--I thought he was cavalier about how hard it is to get a first rate FG kicker, and I never was a Gregg Williams man--but the fact is, TD is a solid general manager and perhaps much better than solid. He will take chances and sometimes they don't work out, but he's shrewd and steady and it seems to finally be paying off.
In fact, the one bad mistake he made with the Bills was to hire GW. Subtract that one and it's hard to reasonably fault him on other decisions, even when they haven't worked out. And even that decision can be seen as his rolling the dice on a first-rate successful defensive coordinatior with the hope that he might pay off big, rather than hiring some retread head coach who was a known quantity. He did the same thing with M Mularkey, which considering the result with GW is an amazingly ballsy move. Yet on this one it seems to be paying off.
I think a lot of people on the board owe TD some kudos, and some slack. Though there's still a long way to go with this team.
My sentiments exactly. Well stated.

Live in Atlanta, but still manage to get 15 or so days in a year (travel perks of the job. )...although I'm on a snowboard now instead of being a two planker.
I don't mind paying the money for a lift tick to a big resort, whih can be anywhere from $35 off season to $75 at the holidays. What I do have a problem with is the resorts that mismanage their crowds, so that I can only get a half dozen runs in a day....and I'm a first chair to last chair guy.
Cool... Awesome for being in Alanta!
Sometimes it isn't as bad at the smaller, less vertical areas... Yes, you are up and down but, you can get a lot of reps in.
I think the high speed detaches have really aided in crontolling flow better.
OT Rap is not Music!!

Exactly... It is all in the "ears of the beholder"
It is for nobody to judge except the individual... Respect it for its artictic element... You don't have to like it...
