C'mon guys, let's all hug some trombone babes and drink some beer and eat junk food, we'll be fine!

Well, many players have been charged with spousal abuse, drug abuse, attempted murder, gang affiliation and the like over the years. Again, Vick did a horrible thing by torturing then killing animals. I don't disagree. But he did his time. At what point do allow ex-cons the opportunity to get on with their lives? His jail time was for his criminal offense. He was also indefinitely banned from the NFL upon his criminal conviction, which was concurrent to the jail time. Now I believe he's answering to the NFL's separate issues - lying to the Commissioner and his team & owner about his involvment in those activity. Different from his jail time.

This is painful:

I like the thought of keeping the thread open to harrass Free, personally. Or post trombone babe pics.

I agree that I think he needs a longer suspension than 4 weeks, personally. What he did was terrible. Though I like animals too, I don't think this is as "bad as it gets" for an NFL player, either. Leonard Little and Donte Stallworth have both killed people. Little only got a 4 game suspension (by then commish Tagliabue), and it remains to be seen what Stallworth ultimately gets. And 10 time Pro Bowler Ray Lewis also MAY have killed two people. He was never convicted for murder though, as several witnesses' stories changed (hmmm...), and he ended up plea-bargaining. He did later reach financial settlements with both victims' families though.

What else is new? Wb Freeeeeeeeeeeeedickeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Man, we've got pot-holes that could swallow a whole Smart Car here, and they mark that?

Some people might be interested in a fantasy league (I'm not.) But I definitely want to defend my title in the NFL picks thread. Yeah, whatever it was that we did last year on that other website - that's what I meant I'm on board for it again this season!

I think most Training Camps start this week! Is it time to think about starting a discussion to determine if we should plan to consider an evaluation of whether to talk about starting to converse about weighing the pros and cons of maybe starting a fantasy league like last year?

That's not a bad description for "Aura" either.

Looks like someone tried to rally the troops here.

Happy Birthday!!!

Happy Birthday!

Alinghi rhymes with dingy.

Happy Birthday!

Here's what is in my copy: "George Lewis and Bill Frisell are total musicians. Over the years they have earned legendary status as MONSTERS on their respective instruments. But even those already familiar with their work are in for a shock with this disc, as the naked quality of this drumless, bassless band spotlights their incredible musicianship and deep understanding of tradition. George and Bill have four of the most musical ears I've ever run into. George's beautiful sense of harmony and counterpoint is very much in the foreground here, especially on the heads, and his tonal blend with Bill's guitar is at times almost beyond belief. He also swings his fucking ass off. Frisell's passion for the guitar work of Jim Hall is well known in certain circles; he once described it as "something that was just in there, making everything sound good". Of course he was really talking about himself, and his remark is particularly relevant in the context of this band. When Bill does surface from the trio texture he kills you with one of his tasty country funk lines. One really could not hope for two more open, creative and sensitive musicians. Two true musical geniuses, masters of improvisational ensemble playing. On many levels, this is a perfect combination of three distinctly different personalities. The sympathy and respect we share is evident on every track. Check it out. -John Zorn, March 1988"

Plus, there is additional, never-before-heard music (and video) being included this time around. I'm sure I'll replace my discs with these.

Picked this up in the recent Concord sale, and dig it too!

Not written *for* Rosanna, but she's in the Madonna video "Into the Groove", and was infatuated with her in the movie it came from, Desperately Seeking Susan. Into the Groove

The Red CD/DVDA is available for pre-order from Steven Wilson's website, for a pretty decent price, $16.15.

Had a very nice Montepulciano last time I was in Brooklyn, was meaning to find out what it was, thanks to this thread for the reminder!

Happy Birthday Kenny!
