  1. Springsteen is the greatest living American Rock Star............And, whoever above was giving him respect for putting on a long show, should also realize that when I started going to concerts in '77 and I saw a ton of them in the late 70s. You could expect to see a band for 90 minutes and that was it..............Bruce changed the whole landscape in my opinion - giving the people their money's worth.............When I saw the Stones in '78 they played for about 90 minutes with no encores. Last time I saw them, I bet they played 2 and a half to three hours, with encores, etc. You can thank Bruce for proving it all night.

     

    My only real complaint about the concert the other night was his rendition of Reason To Believe. That is my favorite song off Nebraska, and it was absolutely unrecognizable, and probably the worst song I've ever heard anybody do in concert.

  2. There are two radio commercials that I keep hearing on GR that are really bugging me.

     

    One is for some sort of finance company that will give you a lump sum of money for your annuity if you have had some sort of legal settlement. I find that woman so grating who says stuff like "after all, it is my money." And, the first one they had made no sense at all.

     

    The second one is for that lawyer who specializes in representing deadbeats. The way he talks and what he's selling just annoys the heck out of me.

  3. I wish he just had of retired a Raider he only had 24 catches last season for 200 yards with the Bucs now people are going to have that memory of him with the Bucs and not being very good.

    Well, I guess I won't be one of these people, because I didn't even know he was with the Bucs last year!! When I heard he was signing a one day contract with the Raiders, I thought "Why would he have to do that. Didn't he play for them last year?"

  4. Does anyone know what the schedules are for when the discount carriers release blocks of flights?  Calling them up, gets you nowhere.  They just tell you to keep checking back.  The problem is I am trying to get a roundtrip flight out of Buffalo to Florida for the week of President's day, but because all the kids have off from school that week, the discount fares get scooped up in a hurry.

    Not sure if this is what you mean, but I just read in Men's Health, that the best time to check this is 1AM on Wednesdays. The airlines change their rates just after midnight on Wednesdays.

  5. coachdickerson - I just looked up Kelly Ripa and Renee on imdb - Kelly is only about 16 months younger than Renee, and when I saw them together this week, Kelly was absolutely glowing and could not have looked hotter, while Renee looked horrible.

     

    It's not an age thing.

  6. Man, she used to really do it for me. Now I think she looks horrible. Anybody else feel the same way?

     

    If so, then I think it's all that weight gain and loss from doing the Bridget Jones stuff. I saw a thing I think in Men's Health where they showing what it did to Tom Hanks looks - his skin, his hair, etc. Did the same happen to Renee?

  7. They announce a Journey concert by having the Stones symbol on their website. What a bunch of idiots. I don't even bother checking that station out anymore when I'm running thru the dial because it is always a commercial when I switch to it.

     

    How ironic - the only group I've ever seen booed offstage was Journey when they opened for the Stone at the Stadium in '81.

  8. I always say the best 3 three games ever in sports (that I saw) were Miracle on Ice, The Comeback Game, and when Baker beat St. Francis (undefeated and #1 in the state)in double overtime with Bill Truitt scoring 46 points in front of Lefty Driesell, Bobby Cremins, Jim Satalin, Digger Phelps and about 10 other college coaches. Nobody on here will know what I'm talking about, but you had to be there. The coaches were all there to see Chris Patton, and Truitt gets a scholarship to South Carolina out of it. One of the overtimes was caused by a half-court shot. It was just unreal, and anybody who was there will never forget it.
