  1. As you indicated, it is outdated. San Marino now has two medals, increasing their lead. I don't think anybody will catch them. And they sent a total of only 5 athletes to Japan.
  2. If you want a serious response, it is a Baltimore oriole. Most orioles they have stunning orange/black or yellow/black plumage.
  3. When I got seriously into listening to music in the mid-70s, I began to worry how far my favorite LPs would last; frequent playing tended to increase background noises. Thus, I got an AKAI reel-to-reel recorder and taped my LP collection. Using the tapes to listen to the music worked well for a while, but after several years I had to realize that that the sound quality of the tapes had deteriorated faster than that of the (now rarely used) LPs.
  4. Joni Mitchell live 1968 in Ottawa ... recorded by Jimi Hendrix
  5. I can understand Osaka's case. However, Biles is different. According to NBC Sports, https://www.nbcsports.com/boston/tokyo-olympics/all-about-simone-biles-olympic-gymnastics-goat Biles had a goat (as symbol of GOAT) embroidered on her leotard. If this is true, this is hubris taken to the extreme, and all the pressure of which she claims to be the victim is self-inflicted.
  6. I would also go with The Wonder Years, but with a focus on the sister
  7. One advantage of living in a college town is that they often have student-run radio stations where you can hear music not normally played on commercial radio. When I was in Rochester, both UR and RIT had their station (do they still exist?). Here in Lubbock, TTU runs two stations, one is the local NPR affiliate with lots of classical music, the other is student-run. The latter, 88.1 FM "The Raider", introduced me to many alt/indie acts I would never heard of otherwise. One example: Dr. Dog. My favorite, "The Beach", starts at 30:00.

  11. IMHO, JA's Volunteers is underrated. My personal favorite... The song was not very typical for the Stones, but I liked it despite the pretty inane lyrics. What do these two songs have in common? Of course, it is Nicky Hopkins on piano. For an encore, here is the intro of Lennon's "Jealous Guy". Hopkins died much too early from Krohn's disease in 1994 at the age of 50.
  12. Dedicated to the people in the NW USA
  13. This is a different woodpecker than you had in the previous pic. You can see that this one has no black face stripes, has more white dots on the shoulders, and is larger. It is a red-bellied woodpecker (I know, some of these names do not make sense; red-bellied woodpeckers only very rarely show orange or red belly feathers, and if they do, it is very low on the belly (which is hidden here by the wood board).

    Wynona Ryder?
  18. I am surprised you did not mention "The Bermuda Triangle", which Wikipedia describes as "a 1978 Mexican-Italian science fiction horror film"
  19. The Nice, Keith Emerson's band before ELP. Much more jazz-oriented.
  20. Resurrection of an old thread. If you look at the Sparks' early catalog, I am sure that Queen were influenced by them. Another gem from about the same time...

    Boris Johnson?
  22. I agree. The Labor Day weekend was always off.
  23. When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately thought of "My Cousin Vinnie".
