  1. it's about time someone censored those 1982 MTV music videos. Thank you Youtube.
  2. Hogan's Heroes, I believe. So I was working at a Fox affiliate, when I think the show you're referencing (Maude?) came out. That 70's Show was easily the best show the network was about to put on the air in 1998(?). Another show they had us... focus group... was called, 'Fox Files'. You'll never guess this, but the name of the show had already been claimed by a porn company. For those of you loyal 'Fox Files' devotees, I'm sorry, but that's how the show met its untimely end. Wonderful Show, Beautiful show. But it's not a show any more.
  3. Without a question, yes. And I have too. BUT, I doubt either of us have put ourselves into a position where we've claimed to be the spokespersons for a movement or generation. I don't know about you, but I still have time.
  4. It'll take 16 months to digest this post. but thank you for stating the way you see it... and I totally see a *****-ton of what you're saying. I have a bit of a different take on where the 70's came from - I think a lot of the kids in the 70's had dads that fought in D-day, Rabaul and Korea,,, and their kids weren't going to be pussies. The whole decade was looking for a fistfight as far as I can remember.
  5. The first time I heard a Who song in an ad I probably cried- I couldn't believe the band that'd led me through the minefields of feckin brilliant rebellion, angst, underage *****, teenage despair and ultimately triumph, could sell their souls to an ad campaign. It still disappoints me, and however numb we may get to all of it, and to all of these artists, it should disappoint you too.
  6. I've had to go through both of my parents dying now. It is still brutal, and it's a mix of wanting to do everything you can for them, and also accepting the inevitability of life. I have no idea what your mom is going through, but the one thing I learned with my Mom, and I wished I'd known a few weeks earlier, is to ask her doctors if there were any experimental treatments. Probably totally different circumstances. In my mother's case she had a brain lymphoma, which honestly could've (possibly) been treatable if they'd gotten her on Keytruda soon enough, but there were so many delays in starting treatment it was maddening. Keytruda was an unapproved/experimental treatment at the time, but had I even known it was an option- I would've liked to have known it was a possible treatment. That was my circumstance, and I may have lost my beautiful Mom a bit earlier due to just not knowing to ask about potential/experimental treatments. It's not my fault, because we all die, but if I can be of any help, let me know.
  7. This is one of my first albums- bad, front to back And then there was this-
  8. Somewhere in the early 90's I was doing riders for bands at a music festival. Usually it was a case of a particular beer, a couple bottles of a particular tequila... stuff like that... My favorite rider ever was Arlo Guthrie. I'd guess he was mid-50's at the time and wanted, ' A pint of genuine half and half.' That was it. I made sure to get him the finest pint of half-n-half I could possibly get my hands on. )
  9. Help me make some sense of this decade Most everything involved a fist-fight or trucker with CB's Junkyard black men, white old-guys with certain chairs, glam-rock, the gaddamn eagles, Blondie, REO Speedwagon MASH, Barnaby Jones, cocaine, pot, quaaludes, bell-bottoms, chest-hair and gold chains, Supertramp, Chico and the Man, The Rockford Files, Camaros with 86 HP the oil crunch, gas lines, Billy Beer, the ayatollah khomeini The Clash. The Sex Pistols, The Jam. Turtle-neck sweaters and platform shoes. I was born in '71. I was just an innocent kid.

  11. And meanwhile, on the complete opposite end of the cool spectrum... loved these guys- some of the funnest live shows:
  12. Fire his ass. I've seen enough. I was basically sober at the end of the game, and wasn't even a bit surprised... and hardly even pissed off- that's why I know he needs to go- I should never feel that way at the end of a loss like this one. Get him outta here.
