Yes. That documentary is a big part of why I suggest he is a POS human.
He has spent a lifetime reinventing himself and running from his past, going from location to location...and treated his own son like ****.
He's kind of a sad figure actually, especially given the huge amount of natural talent he was born with.
There's a great clip on Youtube from the '60s where an interviewer is asking him if he ever practices playing the drums. Ginger kind of laughs and says "No" but that he used to practice all the time.
It's like he didn't realize how hard it was do what he did easily.
That was in this film too...and yeah, he's crusty for sure.
A 60's music/culture/etc. group I'm in on facebook was talking about him/BD yesterday. His oldest daughter has a book out now and she posted to the group. I mentioned something like "holy crap, I guess I'm hanging with the wrong people if we have his daughter posting here/looking in"... and lo and behold Ginger Baker (or who ever posts for him) liked the post and made a comment that "you'll really love it". Probably his daughter but pretty cool nonetheless.

One hell of a good drummer.
But kind of a POS human being.
Have you ever watched this? Beware of Mr. Baker

My memory of fun and games is that it had a giant curvy slide that was very wide, with many "channels" so many kids could go down, in theory, side by side at the same time. I think you went down in like sleeping bag type things.
It was high as I recall, or at least it impressed me as being high as a little kid.
Am I inventing this memory or did that slide exist?
Definitely remember the sign in this photo.
Oh I'm sure it did exist, I don't remember it like you. As far as I can remember riding the slides Anywhere it was always big burlap bags we sat on.

I remember that. I also remember the small amusement park (Fun-N-Games) next to it that had a Wild Mouse roller coaster ride.

"Western New York children of the 1970s might remember Fun-N-Games Park just off the Youngmann in Tonawanda. Another instance of amusement rides in a Twin Fair parking lot, the park’s most memorable feature might have been the unconnected roadside attraction in front of it—the whale car wash."
History of the Wild Mouse Roller Coaster
I don't remember Fun&Games, guess we never went there... as a kid my rides fix was Glen Park, and once bigger it was Crystal Beach... Fantasy Island once in a while, they had a Wild Mouse too.

I come to TSW/OTW for fun banter. The rest of the nonsense needs to keep themselves out of here. Sick of the trolls. Sick of the Internet muscles.
Internet muscles are so tiny I'm surprised you even noticed any.

Pressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop
They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat
And pressed rat's collection of doglegs and feetSadly, they left, telling no one goodbye
Pressed rat wore red jodhpurs, warthog a striped tie
Between them, they carried a three-legged sack
Went straight round the corner and never came backPressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop
The bad captain madman had told them to stop
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat
And pressed rat's collection of doglegs and feetThe bad captain madman had ordered their fate
He laughed and stomped off with a nautical gate
The gate turned into a deroga tree
And his peg leg got woodworm and broke into threePressed rat and warthog have closed down their shop
They didn't want to; 'twas all they had got
Selling atonal apples, amplified heat
And pressed rat's collection of doglegs and feet-

Big WTF happened here.
http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-metro-jefferson-airplane-surgery-lawsuit-20180817-story.html#
Small piece of the article:
“Mr. Balin walked into the hospital able to speak and with fully functional left hand,” the suit says. “By the time Mr. Balin was finally released from the hospital, he had lost half his tongue so that he cannot speak or eat properly.; he also has a paralyzed vocal cord; he has a necrotic left hand and has lost his left thumb; he had become totally disabled and has never recovered properly.”

You're comparing this to Aretha Franklin??
Sorry, but I don't think there's any comparison. Not even close.
There is no comparison at all, no one said that, they aren't even close.

In my opinion the best female voice of all time. RIP to the greatest.
I'd have to go with Annie Haslam but AF is for sure in the top 10 here.

Perhaps a follow on question ... how many of the preseason games should season ticket holders be forced to purchase at regular season prices
Best bet is to donate them to the boys club or scouts and write them off on your taxes.

One thing I think we can all agree on...
Initially McCoy was better off just paying her some "hush money" and cutting his losses when they broke up. Is he wrong to want to be able to just walk away from this relationship? No, but let's be real here... she just suddenly become a crazy person.
I do think it would be cool if McCoy made this his hill to die on and found a way to drag her through a lengthy court process and never settle with her.
This. Bills fans are crazy enough to set up a gofundme page for his legal fees lol.

Never had a problem on the laptop or computer... just the phone app.

So is the app fixed? I don't want to download and delete it Again... been around 4 times, and that's just a drag. Listening to WGR on the laptop and in the commercials they are touting a new updated app. Fixed?

Outstanding covers?
Iconic albums maybe. I’m not sure why the covers are outstanding.
Covers of outstanding albums, or outstanding album covers?
Ain’t the English language wonderful?
I think its because we've seen them all thousands of times... the younger generation (earbud generation) probably hasn't seen 10 of them. And you're right, for the most part these are just outstanding albums. There is other good artwork out there... Jasper Wrath from 1971 for example, up close its some guys sitting a cave. Set it across the room and its a monster face:

Anyone else here into Beatles covers? I actually own this Lp, the kind of music you play when people at the beach start getting a little too close to your area. Believe its from 68'... on Capitol records:
