  1. Glad you enjoyed... and who doesn't love a rollicking-good Kenny Loggins volleyball song from time to time, but c'mon folks! Exercise those lima beans, it's not just a great volleyball song with a touching narrative, it's also the soundtrack to one of the most defining action movie sequences in history!
  2. The Serpent on Netflix is Very well done... gotta be able to handle some super-creepy, based on a true-story, stuff. good 70's feel, great writing/acting/soundtrack. Jenna Whatsherbucket is supercute and apparently the true story had to be tamed down a bit, as the creators felt it was too weird to be believable.
  3. Ha! We barely squeaked by the winless '76 Bucs
  4. I still have no idea what this song was all about- was it a Chubby Checker dance craze hopeful that involved rubber-bands... I may never know, but Live, it's a blast, and I love all of the backup singers: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Jte7Jhii4e0
  5. My apologies if this is not true to the original spirit of the thread, but this band actually got better after they sobered-up. In my younger days, I'd have never believed something like that was possible, until I lived it, live in concert, with my own two ear-holes:
  6. On your first point, I can't seem to find the part about all men with current ID cards, can you? "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." If there is an accusation of fraud, it is incumbent upon the accuser to prove it, at least in the America I think I used to know... so where is any frickin' proof?? All I see are a bunch of pinata bats missing their mark. On Russian collusion, it's just mind-numbing that a (formerly) sitting President would not lead the charge to investigate potential influence by a foreign, hostile, nation. I guess that's acceptable to you...
  7. I also think their drummer choices (Kenny 'timekeeper' Jones and Simon Phillips) were pretty odd considering their sound was based on a frenetic K. Moon style. Ringo's kid was a huuuuge return to normal- damn fine drummer.
  8. It was the Quad tour- I got the year wrong- That show was as good as I ever could have hoped to see them in the post-Moon era!! Townshend's writing nearly single-handedly got me through my teen years, haha. It's weird discovering their early stuff as a teen, 20 years after the fact, and gravitating so heavily toward it. Once I heard the first bomb-drop of Armenia City, and everything of that era, I was just amazed at how it overpowered all the 80's crap... my generation was listening to. ) Good to hear Townser is still pulling out interesting takes on their music- he can definitely hold his own with the all-timers! (not to make you too jelly, but I've got a bunch of original presses/UK originals, Sealed original Live at Leeds, Moon's solo album, Entwhistle's solos- a couple sealed, bootlegs, etc. on vinyl. )
  9. Probably a smart choice. You might as well be wearing a bullseye shirt and antlers.
  10. It's truly heartening to see a new generation of schoolgirls become Bills fans! ❤️
  11. Kind of a funny phenomenon I've seen a few times is old rock bands sucking up a storm in middle age, then somehow getting better- not prime, but better- when they re-emerge as geezers. I remember the Who's Last 1982 tour radio broadcast as a kid, they were a shell of themselves. I saw them live in 1989... (1982 was not their last tour afterall!) and they were in some weird, boring, over-produced phase... then in 1994- they were Dang Good! Not Live at Leeds good, but still dang good, and back to their more stripped-down selves. The SB show was garbage and I haven't seen them since Entwhistle died, so no idea what they are about nowadays.
  12. I mean, it's our duty in America to defend your right to believe whatever it is you want to believe, but when four ba-jillion lawsuits are brought, and laughably shot down by justices across this nation- of all political stripes, wouldn't ya think it's just maybe possible you're barking up a tree that was never really there?
  13. Jimmy the Greek for HoF 2022! kidding, but Facenda taking this long is waaaay past overdue.
  14. Should be required gear for cyclists:
  15. If you feel so strongly for the poor German & Japanese soldiers, and believe America was the wrongdoer, not the Nazi's, maybe you should consider not living here and cheering for the team in red, white and blue??
  16. Wait, so are you saying Allied nations 'dehumanized and eliminated' citizens who disagreed (with the war presumably). Or are you saying the Nazi's eliminated people of certain groups because those people chose to disagree with the Nazis?
  17. Wow! I swear I didn't look at this thread - for weeks - before posting- I was on a road trip. Must be ol' mix tape season or something. Bravo to 70's, Pete & DrW! oh, and if your tastes range there, maybe don't disregard the song I said to disregard... there's an odd beauty to that one for a sweaty front-porch evening listen.
  18. A little Dramarama appreciation trip here- pretty good band, caught in the middle of the LA post-paisley thing, but too 'alt' for the Sunset Strip scene. Working backwards... sorta, the last song was their first airplay (see Rodney Bingenheimer), the first song was off a mix tape from a girl named Brandy, and the middle one may be... just right
  19. 20 years? Shoot, you'll be immersed in an interactive, holographic, laser space-beam cast of every game the National Flag Football League has to offer!
  20. I'm not sure I should admit this here, but I eventually lost some of my B. Cox hate after catching him on some broadcasts- seemed like a like-able smart guy, haha.
  21. Stop playing 4-D chess with me. I can't handle all these amazing concepts.
