Starting to get into the Fluxus movement and I heard this Box is quite good. Besides, I never disliked Yoko's screaming - kinda like a more frenetic and exotic Abbey Lincoln. Wanna trade?

Anybody have one they want to trade?

Ahhh, to be a teenager in the 50's when the Dodgers, Giants and Yankees all played in NY. The jazz was swingin', the beats were-a-writin', and everyone got under their desk when the alarm went off. NOW THAT'S AMERICAN!!!

Wow you're old.

Actually, the White Sox were in the World Series in 1959. they haven't WON since 1917.

Spoken like someone who has never seen the White Sox play. The Sox don't suffer from bad play, they simply suffer from the worst ownership on the planet. The year of the strike, we were the best team in baseball, and Reinsdorf was practically begging for a strike. Then we see the fire sale that wipes us out when we're only 3 games out. Then this year, we're standing on top of all of baseball, and Williams and Reinsdorf refuse to look for any big bats whatsoever. I would assume that a 14-2 blow-out would demand a little respect, and for any other team in the majors, it would. But for the Sox, even if we win the whole thing, everyone will still blow it off. ← This may be true, but for whatever reason the White Sox haven't seen the World Series in almost 50 years. The Red Sox have been there at least once a decade since 1960. What that translates into for me is Red Sox = good, White Sox = stinky. Sorry Paul, the truth hurts sometimes.

Yes but who suffers more, the one that continually has a good team yet falls just short, or the one that usually sucks every year? The Boston fan knows heartbreak, the White Sox fan knows shitty baseball. (I'm a Philies/Mariner fan btw - not from Boston)

Hey, why not bring Coco Crisp to the Dodgers as well?

Go MARINERS!!!

I've searched ebay a few times and this never seems up for auction. Anyone know where I can get a copy of the 6 CD Yoko Ono collection "Onobox"?

No cheesewiz on my please....provolone or white American only (with fried onions, peppers and mushrooms - some hot peppers would be nice ). Here are a few quotes that might surprise you and other nonbelievers: Then again, if all you're after is a cheesesteak . . . . ← A soft pretzel and a Tastykake would be nice.

My brother used to live in Darby (still does actually) and I remember taking one of two routes to his house - either on 95 pasted the refineries and solid waste treatment plant near Penrose Ave. (the stinkest stretch of hiway I've ever known) ~or~ Packer Ave over to Passyunk past Jerry's Corner. Needless to say I used to take Passyunk more often than not with a pitstop now and again.

No cheesewiz on my please....provolone or white American only (with fried onions, peppers and mushrooms - some hot peppers would be nice ).

I love the Italian Market! I'm getting home sick....I WANT A REAL CHEESESTEAK! So how Jerry's Corner in the Southwest doin'? Now that's a fine example of what Philadelphia has to offer.

Hey I'm from Philly, I got a right to rip on it.

I didn't know Mayor Street had a PR man on the National Geographic payroll. Good for him.

Everybody sounds like Brew Moore to me.

What is the heart of jazz? - Improvisation What are five words to describe jazz? - Swing, sound, individuality, freedom, discipline Would you prefer an intimate venue or one that is more open and grand? - Intimate If you are a performer, how do you like your audience to be around you? Surrounding the stage except in back Do you prefer an elevated platform or a flat surface for entertaining? - Slightly elevated What kinds of things would make you not want to go to a certain place to see jazz? - Snootiness, dress code, discouraging when it comes adventurous or new approaches to music What are the top five things you think should be covered in a jazz museum? - Origins, innovators, social and historical aspects, technical elements of the music, the future What colors to you think embody the world of jazz? Blue, black and red (as in fire) Do you see jazz in black and white or in color? Both If you could relate jazz to an architectural style, which style would it be? Depends on the type of jazz - jazz is reflective and indicative of its own time What would make you feel comfortable in an instrumental classroom setting? Marijuana smoking

BJ? Am I missing something?

I just want to add that there is a lot more to making a film than shooting the footage. I thought Scorcese did a great job of forming a cohesive narrative, creating unique perspectives on incidents we've all seen a million times (Kennedy assasination comes to mind), maintaining a consistent tone, and making sure the editing (and the ego that goes along with that) did not get in the way of the subject which is the case with many documentaries about musicians.

Hostage Gave Meth to Atlanta Fugitive By GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press Writer Sept. 27th, 2005 ATLANTA - Ashley Smith, the woman who says she persuaded suspected courthouse gunman Brian Nichols to release her by talking about her faith, discloses in a new book that she gave him methamphetamine during the hostage ordeal. I was really scared that he was dangerous and crazy, so I offered him some meth. Smith did not share that detail with authorities at the time. But investigators said she came clean about the drugs when they interviewed her months later. They said they have no plans to charge her with drug possession. In her book, "Unlikely Angel," released Tuesday, Smith says Nichols had her bound on her bed with masking tape and an extension cord. She says he asked for marijuana, but she did not have any, and she dug into her illegal stash of crystal meth instead. Smith, a 27-year-old widowed mother who gained widespread praise for her level-headedness, says the seven-hour hostage ordeal in March led to the realization that she was a drug addict, and she says she has not used drugs since the night before she was taken captive. "If I did die, I wasn't going to heaven and say, `Oh, excuse me, God. Let me wipe my nose, because I just did some drugs before I got here,'" Smith told the Augusta Chronicle. Police said Nichols took Smith hostage in her apartment March 11 after a shooting rampage at the Atlanta courthouse. During the ordeal, Smith says, she pulled out Rick Warren's book "The Purpose-Driven Life" and read to Nichols a chapter called "Using What God Gave Me" to gain his trust. Nichols later released her, and she called 911 and told authorities where to find him. Nichols is accused of killing four people, including a judge, and could get the death penalty. Since Nichols' arrest, Smith has received $70,000 in rewards and has been bombarded with offers for books, movies and speaking engagements. Her ordeal has been held up as an example of the redemptive power of faith. "It's hard for people to understand the miracle of the story," she told the newspaper. "This was totally a God thing, to me in my life. This was God getting my attention, going, `I'm going to give you one more chance.'" Good thing God left that meth in your stash too. Praise the lord. Financial details of the book have not been released, but Smith pledged to donate an undisclosed portion of the book's proceeds to a memorial fund for the victims. Calls to Nichols' attorneys were not immediately returned Tuesday. Prosecution spokesman Erik Friedly would not comment on the case. Smith says in her book that as the night wore on — after Nichols had snorted some of Smith's meth — she tried to win Nichols' trust by talking about her faith in God and relating to him her personal stories. She says she told him how her husband had died in her arms four years earlier after being stabbed during a brawl. She writes that she asked Nichols if he wanted to see the danger of drugs and lifted up her tank top several inches to reveal a five-inch scar down the center of her torso — the aftermath of a car wreck caused by drug-induced psychosis. She says she let go of the steering wheel when she heard a voice saying, "Let go and let God."

I forgot about that one. I LOVE GENE VINCENT!!!
