It was kind of a weird group. Greg Lake would write these spacey acoustic ballads like Lucky Man, then…never mind, I just found out that Keith Emerson committed suicide, so…eh, they're all right and I'm sorry I brought it up.

I upvoted this, but I envision more of a Camaro with lumpy cams that barely runs at idle, or a really beat-up Ford Galaxie 500.

I looked at a cottage behind an old VIctorian in downtown San Jose a few years ago. The property manager said that two people had been killed there in a drug deal gone really bad. But "it's OK, because the guy that killed them got shot by the police a few weeks later!"

Sadly upvoted. I'm from the Inland Empire, and the most anti-government people I know there are those that have government jobs, most of them law-enforcement related. And that's just where the cognitive dissonance starts. I had one of them tell me a couple of weeks ago that, if I had something negative to say about…

I'm not an audiophile by any means, but the audio quality of a lot of the stations ran me up a wall. It was dial-up quality or less. The popular stations, like Howard, get a lot of bandwidth. The ones I liked, like Willie's Roadhouse or the bluegrass station, were 16kbps AAC or something like that - compressed and…

Bob's Burgers on the line!

I said hey everybody, it's the Darwin gang / with the pow pow boogie and the big bang bang!

Although I have a feeling that he'd say what Limbaugh and, yes, Stewart have said in the past, if they ever get called on it: Hey I'm just an entertainer, you don't have to take this seriously.

Throw in some End of Days to taste. I believe a lot of the Evangelical Right just want to watch it burn, with no thought to future generations who will have to fix this mess.

And I was thinking there wasn't a God. I'll put down a deposit on this yesterday.

Au contraire, it could have been 8-tracks instead of cassettes.

They are there, they are just not part of national media anymore. CBS was the "Tiffany Network" largely because their loss-leader news department made up for shows such as the Beverly Hillbillies and Gilligan's Island (although the evening news got quite good ratings). It was also a way to get the FCC off their backs…

Good to know, I thought it was Orleans Parish only.

I heard it was Clifford Odets. The hair and glasses kind of look like him.

You've gotta tell us where in New Orleans this is.

That was a song by the Angry Samoans. Great song!

My dad had heart bypass surgery in 1974 or so, and Zeppo Marx was his roomate in the hospital in Loma Linda. We got to see his condo in Palm Springs (or maybe Palm Desert). He was very pleasant, although all I remember is the front door with his name on it.

Which one was Joe Besser? The guy who would say "I'll give you such a pinch!"

Also from Cali, also discussed quite a bit in high school and college. I visited Manzanar a few years ago. Do this if you get the chance - it has been well-maintained, so it stays in memory. We shouldn't forget what we can do during uncertain times. The more interesting story to me is Tule Lake and the 'no-no boys'…

Probably recorded in Nashville, so I'd say it's more like countrypolitan psychedelia.
