Why Is Our Government Putting People In Cages?

Pathetic... -
Sammy Watkins classes it up on his way out of LA

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but why do you think Mahomes is going to be awful? -
Which of Buffalo's 258 Points Were Your Favorite
Buftex replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall Archives
If my math is correct, it would be points 230 and 231...one if the most thrilling moments of the drought, in my opinion. -
I've always thought Richards awkward harmony vocals were one of the most under-appreciated aspects of the Stones best stuff.

And that right there is what makes you so repulsive. You know better, but you take glee. You are like a walking, talking, typing Chinese finger trap. Smug, hypocritical and so high and mighty. Keep telling everyone you genuinely can not stand Trump, but take every opportunity you can find to contort your ethiics to support his bull ****. -

Well, just to make your day a little happier, I think you may be the most consistanly repulsive person I have ever encountered on the internet. I suspect your probably not as big an !@#$ in rhe real world...but that is probably just me being optimistic. -
The Stones took a little longer to come into their own. Early on (pre-beggars Banquet) they were a rawer version of the Beatles, to some degree... but when they reached their artistic peak (68-73) the Stones were as much about the music, the groove, than they were about tradional pop songwriting. John and Paul wrote some of the greatest pop songs in the history of pop music, but they never wrote anything as soulful, as say, "Tumbling Dice". The Stones were english boys, but their vision was much more in American black music than in English pop. Like I said, love them both (and the Kinks and the Who), but my personal tastes lean a little more where the Stones went. Of course the Stones have been a lot longer, and cosequently, put out more marginal (some say bad) records than the Beatles, so their legacy is a bit more tarnished. Just imagine if the Beatles had stuck around...what would people have thought had McCartney brought "Ebony and Ivory" to the Beatles?

I love the Beatles and the Stones, though I give the Stones a slight nod. The Beatles advantage as songwriters comes, in part from the fact that they started writing earlier, and their history as a band was very short, in comparison to the Stones. They are very different kinds of bands. I won't argue that Jagger-Richards are better songwriters than Lennon-McCartney, but I would argue that Lennon-McCartney never wrote anything as inspired as "Gimmie Shelter" or "Monkey Man". I'd put the Stones output from Beggars Banquet- Goat Head Soup up against the Beatles best.

Neil Young by a mile...

Thank you. Technical proficiency and great rock and roll do not go hand in hand.

Truly miserable human beings. -
Are you old enough to remember the Sabres Jim Schoenfiled putting out a rock and roll record? He did all covers...a bunch of Beatles songs...Hey Bulldog was one of them....can't find it on Youtube, but just to give you an idea:

I love "Yellow Submarine", but in truth, at 53, I could live the rest of my life and never hear it again..I'd be okay with that.

I love all of them, but I went with "Beatles For Sale". I could have gone with "Help". I love those records because they are half-way between the jangly-pop of the early records, and the more experimental, sophisticated sounds that were to come. There is a kind of dark undertone to them...I always love that friction in music. "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" is one of my favorite Bealtes songs...one that many people forget about. Pop--melancholy... of course, growing up with the American versions of the Beatles albums, it would be "Beatles '65", "Beatles VI" and "Help!" that represent my favorite period of Beatles music. But, love all the other periods too!

Is your Dad the reason you’re a Bills fan?
Buftex replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In an indirect way, yes. My dad and I didn't get along great when I was a kid...and he always pretty much hated the Bills. Perhaps, as a form of rebellion, my brother and I loved them. My dad was one of those who always said "Ralph Wilson is a carpet-bagger", "OJ is a bum"... the more he hated them, the more we liked them. My dad was a police officer, and knew a lot of unsavory things about some Bills players. To his credit, he never told us a lot of the stories, until we were much older. He was hardly shocked that OJ would be accused of spousal abuse, or murder. He was never much of a huge footballl fan, college basketball was his favorite sport. My brother (8 years older than me) remembers that he was a Packers fan in the 60s...but never the Bills. He changed his tune a little, during the 90's Super Bowl era, because most of his VFW buddies were Bills fans, and they got sick of here him dog them...he wanted to be one of the gang. And, they were winning. The fact that his old buddy Ted Marciaborda (they were college friends at St Bonaventure) was hired by Marv Levy pleased him too. Dad really liked Marv a lot. In some ways, my father reminds me a little of Marv. My dad passed away a about 4 years ago. We got along great when he got older. He mellowed out a little. The last fathers day that he was around, I got him a Ted Marciabroda ""rookie" card. It was autographed....Chicago Cardinals! -

What does the phrase "The Good Old Days" mean to you?
Buftex replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Pretty much anything before November 2016. -
I find it more depressing than funny, but I know what you mean.

I hope the kid works out. The way his critics bash him, you would think he was a total off the field jerk or something. I was listening to a Fantasy Football podcast, and Adam Rank (from NFL Network) was really criticizing Allen too. It seemed kind of over the top. He said "Josh Allen is the second coming of Donovan McNabb". He meant it as an insult. I was thought to myself, if he is the second coming of Donovan McNabb, than he won't be the bust that so many of these jagoffs are predicting.
