One of the mysteries of this sport for me is a persistent expectation from everyone that the English side will achieve something. Joe Hart does let in the most amusing, improbable goals, so there's some entertainment there for sure.

Long, painful, and uncertain?

I am NOT asking him about Scientology, but any of you cats can. It seems to be a burning issue for some.

Comrade Uli, do you politicize your bowel movements too?

Living, or deceased?

Heh, I would, but I got a really good seat.

Seeing Corea/Gadd band this Sunday. Prior to the concert there'll be a Q&A session with CC. Is there anything you'd want me to ask him?

His trio with Curtis Fowlkes and Bobby Previte is appearing nearby tonight. I haven't heard any of his music, just the name is familiar. http://narrowscenter.ticketfly.com/event/1463117-charlie-hunter-trio-fall-river/ I could listen to an album on-line, to give me an idea, but there are so many of them. Which one would you recommend to help me decide whether to go or not?

As far as I know, he has never been formally accused of anything, considering he's been at it for 30+ years. Even slick Willy had it worse. And Harv never went to Yale Law!

HutchFan, respect, excellent thread!

He was pretty darn smart.

When I read this, I found it very powerful. Not being able to play an instrument is a curse I've had to endure since I've been aware of myself, so him saying this is illuminating. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/ct-ent-tom-petty-dead-1003-story.html “Music was a safe place to be,” Petty told the Tribune in 2002. “I think that in many ways I had a pretty tough childhood, and the music actually became a safe haven for me. That was where I escaped to. It really is the only true magic I’ve found in this world. Most magic is a trick of some kind. But music is actually a healing thing. It has this power to heal and inspire and to lift you right up.” Music..is the only true magic I’ve found in this world.

Let's be clear here. I don't endorse rape or sexual assault, and never have. However, after being in actors and musicians circles in the 1990s and early 2000s, and having friends who are both, I have a sober vision of what many of these people would do to get a role, men and women alike. And I am honestly surprised that this is a surprise for you. Jim put it a good way. People who matter in this business, play the odds. If you are not belieiving me, all you got to do is go to any trendy restaurant or club in LA and see for yourself. Lots of old men with young women, and old men with young men. As this drags on, you will see dozens of these 'aspiring actresses', who bed Harvey, along with whoever they had to bed to get to Harvey, and who are now feeling victimized, and want us to see how victimized they feel.

Yep, that's it. They also played Amad from the Far East Suite AND a cut from the Afro-Eurasian Eclipse. AND they also played Big Fat Alice's Blues from the Concert in the Virgin Islands. All in all, a very eclectic Ellington program.

Thanks. He was a poignant guy.

Saw WM and the LCJO last Sunday here in Rhode Island. This was my first live exposure to him and the band. I must say it was a phenomenally-good evening of big band music. The first set was all-Ellington, consisting mainly of his lesser known compositions; the second had two Jelly Roll Morton tunes, a composition the title of which slips my mind now, something-something Nippon, and one other tune. WM played a nice solo encore. He introduced every tune either before or after it was played, and had some general commentary on the blues ["not the kind the long-haired white people from England played"]. An excellent show, I left very impressed, and can see myself wanting to hear more. Here's the band, exactly as it was - http://www.jazz.org/JLCO/

Larry, I'm sure you'll do your most impartial best to contain it, but I'll make a prediction : because Weinstein and the Democratic politics are so tight, some here will experience a real cognitive dissonance, as new information starts to surface.

That could very well be THE reason it's all coming out now. The King is dead, long live the King. Joe, who is the biggest player in Hollywood now?

Where is Clementine? It's been about 12-13 years since I saw him en vivo en Brooklyn.

Hey, be nice. You just described half of the posters on this forum.

Read my first post here. I like simple, simple works, so why change what works?! Harv, along with many-many others in the film business before him, have gotten laid with that 'simple' business, since the brothers Lumiere laid the first moving pictures on celluloid. Guy has been getting young aspiring actOrs in the sack for 3 decades. Why this stuff came out now, and not 15-20 years ago, for me that's the real conundrum here, not the unesthetic images of him huffing on top of an ingenue from the plains of North Dakota, while she was dreaming of standing on THE red carpet.

I'll make it even simpler...many, if not most of them Hollywood actOrs would take it up any orifice, from anyone who would guarantee a speaking role. And if it's a leading role, name you game, baby. Oh the vanity...

Yep, he's a splitting image of his dad. Sorry, I meant his other dad.

Harv pulling a Polanski? http://www.tmz.com/2017/10/10/harvey-weinstein-sex-rehab-sexual-harassment-europe/

Let's talk my favorite sport. Does anyone here play? I'm trying to play 2x week with the old-timers, like myself. Love it. Well, the US men's soccer team failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. How the f...is that possible? Losing to Trinidad and Tobago, the worst team in the COncacaf [10 games, 2 wins, 8 losses]. Bizarre. http://abc7.com/sports/us-mens-soccer-fails-to-qualify-for-world-cup/2517742/
