You took Rocker Chick to a whole different level.
Enjoyed it...
I inadvertently caught her at a bluegrass festival one time and she started off by walking onto a stage with no fanfare, accompanied by only one guy carrying a single drum and she then proceeded to rip my soul right out of my chest while I stood there like this: 😯
An unreal level of presence and power when she's standing right in front of you.

Rhiannon Giddens deserves a slot here.
No posing, no preening, no shoes; just pure power.
She can tear up a fiddle too:

You’re mistaken if you expect more than a handful of seniors to get the reference.
BTW- see if you can spot him on the Sgt Pepper album cover 😉-

I have no idea what this song is even about but you can feel it across 30 years.

Did anyone ever figure out what happened to Dion ?
He's still "wandering" around the Bronx at the ripe old age of 85.

And the other 2 were one person.
I think they just both worked in the same place

There were (are) some real characters back in the early days. I remember some trolls named Combo, Ice, and maybe a HogBoy.
Not only is one of those guys still around, he is actually in this very thread. 🤯

Your post made me curious, so I looked at my profile and apparently I joined this site a mere six days before 9/11.
There's actually a bunch of us who joined on that exact date (or used to be; many have moved on).
I think it was the first day that SDS had completed all his prep and made the new site available.
I could be wrong but I think that SDS is the only person that actually has a join date prior to September 5, 2001 and he's only a few days earlier.
We be OGs, homey.

Who's Moss?
Larry Moss was Brown's stepfather; he married Brown's mother and raised Antonio from around age 5.

Anybody else read the title and immediately think that Dawkins would look like Belushi sneaking into Dean Wormer's building?

From what I understand, he showed signs of mental illness before the Burfict hit. I think he's just unstable.
He's been a total *****nut since he was a teenager.
Direct quotes from his stepfather:
'A lot of things that Tony's doing, nothing surprises me. I'm surprised that it took them this long to figure him out. Because he’s been this way since he’s been 12 years old..... it was just one thing after another, one thing after another,” Moss said. “He was just a problem kid, man....
Antonio Brown is a fraud, man. He's not a good person."

Living in the Bay Area when Bonds was on his homerun rampage, all the local stations would break in for a Bonds at bat if he was about to tie/break a record. The whole area (except for Oakland fans) was glued to the Giants and Bonds. More so than the 49ers or Raiders at the time.
As a (former) Pirates fan I was required by law to hope that Bonds would get plunked in his fat head every time he stepped to the plate.

Think back to the 90s. Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Jason Giambi, all players who juiced, and most of us were on the edge of our seats waiting for the bomb into the stands (or McCovey Cove) that was about to happen.
Honestly, I think the whole HR derby thing just makes the game even more boring to watch.
I'd much rather watch guys raking balls into gaps, good gloves, aggressive base-running, big throws on plays at the plate, etc.

Once the Bills let Cook

You want a laugh? Look up Cochise “Tell Em.” Excellent, vibey beat with the most trash rapper butchering the track. That’s where we are today. And it sucks.
You were not kidding; that actually hurt
Here's a couple pieces from Spearhead & Franti with a different feel/delivery you might like better.And a couple more oldschool guys that you might not have been lucky enough to be exposed to yet:

Almost like spoken word. I guess the rap genre was destined to emerge at some point.
It wasn’t B’s and ho’s when it began. It was about the struggle and life. Gangsta rap of the early 90s is what shaped it into what we know today.
It was like rap and slam poetry both sort of evolved around a similar time from the same spoken word source.
I miss the earlier days when folks were more willing to work alongside live musicians; I feel like an important aspect has been lost since that has gone out of vogue. Shout out to @R. Rich for turning me on to a lot of this.
This was the peak of its artistic form, imo.

First rap song I remember was Rapper’s Delight, but there’s actually a (white) woman who was credited with the first rap song, though I can’t remember her name.
You're probably thinking of Debby Harry of Blondie; it wasn't the first but it was the first to get near the top of charts.
I was jamming with a bunch of older black dudes one night and one of them told me the first actual rapper was Frank Zappa

Over time i have come to this conclusion as well.
When I go back and watch games, its remarkable how often he saved a drive. And as you noted, its not like we cant afford him because we are paying an elite WR.He's been genuinely outstanding with the ball in his hands for the last year and a half.
But all you really need to know is that when it came time for what was literally the biggest, most important possession of the entire season, the coaching staff was more comfortable with James Cook on the bench. 🤔
That is not the kind of reality we can just readily dismiss.

They must have had bad luck in the drawing.
