(huh?) Never heard (nor heard of) such a thing. I am curious, but @ $32.99, I'll probably stay curious (especially since the tracks listed don't particularly push me any closer to my credit card). Hmmm.

Somehow I managed to miss this thread originally, and yet I know I've participated in a discussion here about Chicago, Bill Champlin, The Sons, Cold Blood, BS&T, etc etc. At any rate, I saw Chicago at the Cow Palace in SF in '73... I think... I recall it being a good show, but all I really remember about that night was my best friend's girlfriend (future wife, to whom he is still married, as I am to my girlfriend of the time) was having a birthday that night, and her quite substantial home-made birthday cake got dropped before we had a chance to dig into it. I'm sure she was disappointed, but I was inconsolable... chocolate cake, buttercream frosting, raspberry filling... I guess I'm still not over it. Never owned any Chicago LP's myself, but I have to say that after hearing some of the early stuff again in recent years, a lot of it has stood the test of time quite well, imo. That was a very good era for rock/pop music. To me it was always very strange thinking of Bill Champlin joining Chicago... for me, a bit like seeing Curtis Salgado leave the Robert Cray Band and join Roomful Of Blues... or Willie Mays going to the Mets (or Joe Montana to the Chiefs). Just wrong. I was a big fan of The Sons around '70 thru '74 or so, and I was sure that they were going to make it big eventually. It wasn't to be, but a lot of people around here still think they were severely under-appreciated. Looking back at their recorded work, though, I have to admit it's pretty uneven. Brilliant at times, and kind of weak at times. To see them live was pretty mind-blowing though, particularly to witness the multi-instrumental and vocal talents of Champlin, and the unique and tight arrangements they featured.

That, plus the idea that it's perfectly normal for a man to have a habit of taking showers with kids... alone... late at night... in secluded locations... What bothered me the most was when his lawyer stated that they had found the 2002 victim, and that he would come forward saying that the rape never happened.

Here it is again, being used correctly... or perhaps not.

You are correct.

The same person who posted that one also posted this one a few weeks earlier: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUMfwR5R5bU I'm amazed to see this. Amazed!

I hope you didn't hit him too hard.

I actually felt the opposite, especially since the Giants won it all last year and took themselves off the dreaded list... and Texas was the team they beat... and because it seemed obvious (several times) that Texas was going to win that game. Yes, but the Giants were up 3 games to 1 at that point. I just meant that since the Giants finally got off the list last year and Texas was knocking on the door, that they might be next. I actually felt the opposite, especially since the Giants won it all last year and took themselves off the dreaded list... and Texas was the team they beat... and because it seemed obvious (several times) that Texas was going to win that game. Which dreaded list would that be? They won a World Series in NY with the Say Hey kid. Same franchise, different city. Uh, yeah, I know the Giants' history. I'm pretty familiar with Willie Mays. The list I'm referring to is the list of franchises that have waited the longest to win a World Series. At 56 years, the Giants were high on that list, until November of 2010.
