when was the last time he held a press conference? when has he ever had a press conference where he took more than 3 or 4 questions total and spoke 5-10 minutes answering each question with a non-answer filibuster? yeah, he never does that.

how would that be substantially different than appearing on Glozell?

when a politician restricts access to everyone except for friendly voices who will only throw softballs, any journalist worth his salt should be upset. When the president does it, we should all be upset.

gonna work a week, make a hunnert dollars and hit the road again.

looked around for 95 specific music I enjoyed. a couple stuck out - Natalie Merchant's Wonder - I LOVE that song - and everything on Joan Osborne's Relish - especially Spider Webs. that's a jam.

I can't place anything specifically to 1995, but the whole decade gave me new life musically. having experienced my formative years in the 70s, the 80s were a vast wasteland as far as popular music was concerned for me. the only new music I listened to were new albums from 60s and 70s performers. But the 90s music…

I agree with everything you've just said, and thanks, you're right - I couldn't be more proud of him. I'm just saying that even a lame teacher's attempt at relating to their students is better than a lame teacher who could care less.

I guess what bothered me about your comment is that a) the only reason the teachers you disliked put up C&H comics was to try and pull the wool over the students eyes - not because they enjoyed the strips and b) some people are lame - but even if their entire purpose was to try to connect with you, at least they were…

Even the lame can enjoy a comic strip. I'm sorry you associate something so good with something that obviously scarred you for life - like going to school. School IS boring, unimaginative and needlessly repetitive. Always has been and always will be. We all went through it. Not every teacher can be Miss Wormwood.

where I grew up, it rained sharp sticks.

didn't read the story, because C&H already means the world to me and I don't need that explained to me. best comic ever. that is all.

3 legs was inspired by a picture his daughter drew. one verse (when I thought you was my friend, you let me down, put my heart around the bend) could have been beatle related, but was as simple minded as the rest of the song and fully half of it was a simple reference to one of John's songs. Fans, as they are wont to…

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love Ram, but come on - getting past the obvious - uncle albert, we have monkberry moon delight (yeah, I know it's pot)? or 3 legs - "my dog he got 3 legs but he can't run"? Sure, he throws a line or two per song that might have some deeper meaning, but geeze, there's a ton of filler…

I'm 56 years old, I don't have an itunes account and I have all their US released albums on vinyl. How does "listening to Abby Road front to back" indicate I'm speaking from an itunes culture? But even if I were all the things you said, taste is objective, there's no reason to belittle the experience of others…

I think he purposefully sang it that way so that it could be interpreted either way.

SP was groundbreaking without a doubt, but I think both Revolver and Rubber Soul have better songs and I find listening to Abby Road front to back much more enjoyable than SP.

McCartney is unsurpassed when it comes to melody and vocal phrasing within those melodies - but his actual lyrical content is spotty at best, little more than nonsense strings of seemingly unrelated words thrown in a pot, stirred and spit out. fully 90% of his first and second solo albums, while musically as good as…

sometimes bad is bad.

There are a couple of shows on saturday mornings on NBC after the local news that is usually on in the background and sometimes I'm too busy or lazy to change the channel. whatever they are, they're exceedingly annoying. one is live action but everyone has plastic hair and the colors are all primary. the other is…

not much of a metal fan, but I've known Dio by reputation and it's always been a positive one from the metalheads I know.
