Maybe he's color blind?

Apart from my Toy Matinee/Third Matinee (Pat Leonard & Richard Page of Mr. Mister) bender, from that era, I've been mothdrawn to David LaFlamme/It's A Beautiful Day lately... something more SoCal than Britain going on in my resonances lately.

It's Coldplay. Every dude there is only because they hope she'll get spun up by whatever-his-name-is and later that evening bite her lip and close her eyes and fantasize about the singer while in the midst of it.

Just following up with one more morsel of the prodigious output of Kevin Gilbert. Basically he recorded this in one night trying to get it included before the deadline on the Zep tribute album Encomium - they rejected it because, who the hell is Kevin Gilbert. Anyway, we come to another guy basically nobody knows by the name of Pat Leonard. You know his music of course - in more places than you'd even imagine. There's a parallel where there was also a woman in the biz involved who got a helpful push to the top - for Gilbert it was Sheryl Crow, who was invited to Gilbert's Tuesday Night Music Club to help deal with her "unreleasable" 1992 original debut album <-- (in case @muppy hasn't come across it yet), and to drum up some new tracks for another attempt. With Leonard he was tasked to push the career of one Madonna Ciccone as a producer and songwriter. Leonard's influence took her from bouncy bubblegum to "smart-pop" on what would become the acme of her ascendancy, True Blue and Like A Prayer. While not a completely sad Brill Building experience, at least the Toy Matinee project was Warner's gift to Leonard for earning them like half billion dollars in the 80's, and was intended to be a studio project only with Gilbert and session snipers. Both fans of prog, Beatles, and absolute fonts of "smart-pop," it turned out so impressively that Gilbert wanted to take it on the road, which Leonard didn't. Gilbert cobbled up a rotating touring band (including Crow on keyboards), but still managed to get dropped by Reprise. But I digress... Patrick Leonard has scored soundtracks, written musicals, had his own side projects and worked with a ridiculous number of artists as a writer and producer. And finally dropped an album in 2024... and you've still probably never heard his name. <steps off soapbox>

Ever looked into Kevin Gilbert? Her boyfriend at the time and "member" of the Tuesday Music Club, which had a famous crack-up over whose songwriting credits were really whose on Crow's debut album. Died too soon, or who knows what might have been. The Toy Matinee debut sounded like they were gonna be the Steely Dan of the 90's...

You threw me a loop, I confused this for the Flower Travellin' Band, Japanese psychedelic proto-prog-metal from the late 60's/early 70's Edit: Wonder if there's an element of tribute there, esp a segment like Satori III. Can't be a coincidence that they're both so similarly stonerjammy despite being separated by a generation and a half.

So now I'm supposed to root for a QB named Brady and his late game heroics? Is that what we're doing now?

Some of those players are really young, half of them still have pacifiers. The Bills were on brand, blown safety coverage leading to the Bengals one score. The Bengals were on brand too, cheap shot thug hit on the Bills go ahead touchdown late in the 2nd half.

Going a little off the board for the astrophysicist and science commentator (you're welcome), poker champion and self-described Iron Maiden, Liv Boeree:

You just haven't met Large Master Marcus Tresthicock yet.

Poor Chuck regressing to the mean... I also feel bad for the caddies having to wear a bib that says "Uncrustable" right over their ass.

Hancock is central casting for that nickel role. Wonder if the coaches see signs in Taron, they'd rep him more at nickel than safety as they have currently slotted him.

Josh finished day 1 with 7 points, T-31. C'mon man, you're getting smoked by Charles Barkley!

Romo tried that, but I don't know he had enough hand talent.

Great thread @Alphadawg7 , thanks for the vicarious awesomeness from Edgewood (bucket list course... someday I'll do more than just ski Heavenly... someday)

I like the rat rod.

Josh was top-20 last year and like football, was late in taking up golf and has been rapidly ascending. There's a lot of excellent celebrity golfers at this event but a top-15 or top-10 finish would be something.

Ralph would have traded the Bills for the Sabres and run the Sabres exactly like Pegula is running the Sabres.

These are like the Cybertrucks of patio furniture.

I'd bet on Andreessen surprising to the upside. He made plays all over preseason basically not knowing exacly what to do in this D. From early season team activities it sounds like he not only knows what he's supposed to do, but everyone else on the field as well. Bail Inspector is hopefully a cut, more likely an injury settlement.

How many holes in the floor from him dropping it? Friggin Lonnie...
