  1. the record companies have been milking the public and ripping off artists for decades now.

    they have turned a great thing into a muddy mess, and then stand around and point fingers at everyone but themselves.

    FWIW, when my kids dig a song they've heard on the radio, we generally buy the CD Single.

    they've been disapointed more often than not when purchasing the full CD.

  2. Am I the last man in America to not have a DVD player hooked up to his TV?

    I may get one to watch the Rocky and Bullwinkle sets.  Are they still as funny as I remember them to be?

    yes and yes. :lol:

    The Looney Toons set is great, even tho they left out my personal favorite...Hillbilly Hare. <_<

    as far as the Bullwinkle and Rocky goes...Jay Ward=genius.

    can't wait for season 2 to be released.

    BTW-i picked up the H. R. Puffinstuf set the other day. my kids love it.

    have they released GUMBY on DVD? i used to smoke some 'erb and watch GUMBY...trippy stuff.

  3. i was digging through a bunch of "Dixieland" CDs at a local used record store when i found this little gem simply titled, "Baby Dodds".

    i popped it into my car Cd player and low & behold, it's an instructional recording.

    from the liner notes i've gleaned this:

    it was recorded by Bill Russell in the mid 40's, and is a combination of several 10" recordings. Russell issued 3 volumes and this CD is volumes 1,3, and a previous unreleased volume 4. volume 2 was omited because it was, except for one song, repeated in other volumes.

    it really is a remarkable recording. the music is great, but the lessons and anecdotes are worth their weight in gold (and then some).

  4. got into an ugly one when i was 16, i was an unrestraind passenger that was ejected from the rear window during a roll-over. missed most of my junior year of HS (had a tutor from the school district).

    i was in a near miss last night. i'm not sure what happened, but all of a sudden there were 4-5 cars slamming into one another (on the freeway). i hit the brakes and swerved into the breakdown lane as glass and metal were flying all around my car.

    these were the same cars that as a group, passed me like i was standing still (i was driving at 65MPH-cruise control), about a mile previously.

    i took an hour and a cigar before my hands stopped shaking.

    glad to hear you're without serious injury Alexander.

  5. My point was that racism (and those who enforced it) should not be a part of the Hall of Fame. The Black players from the Negro Leagues who are in the Hall of Fame are there in spite of Kenesaw Mountain Landis. Just because Kenesaw Mountain Landis never bet on baseball doen't make him worthy of being a member of the Hall of Fame. He and Rose are both dirtbags, but you can make the argument (I made it sacastically, if you read my entire post) that if one was admitted, so should the other.

    sorry, my bad.

    i agree....nothing we can do about guys like Cobb or Landis now though. but i don't feel just because other ass-wipes are in the BHOF, Rose should get a pass on the gambling.

    Shoeless Joe, too.

  6. Forget Ty Cobb. Kenesaw Mountain Landis is in there, and he denied Black players the opportunity to play in the major leagues for as long as he was commisioner.

    most players and the public didn't want black players in the Majors either. racism was alive and well then, (still is) in America.

    If he belongs, why not Pete Rose

    he didn't bet on baseball.
