Where can find 'Spybot Search and Destroy' and/or 'Ad-Aware'??? Thanks guys!!!

Hey gang, For about the last month, about once or twice a week my PC has been resetting my default homepage (meaning the page that comes up when I launch Internet Explorer, version 6.0.2800.1106). Instead of my usual "Road Runner" page (which is my ISP), I get THIS page instead. AND, at the same time, I suddenly have a dozen or more new folders in my "My Favorites" dropdown list, each with 6 or 8 links to sites for every topic you can think of -- plus a dozen new links at the root level. Does that maybe sound like I've got some Spyware on my PC??? I've got a decent firewall (ZoneAlarm 3.7.098, by ZoneLabs - the 'free' version), and my virus protection is NortonAntirus2001, version 7.07.23D - and I update the virus definitions pretty regularly, like once a week, or at least once every two weeks. (And I'm running Windows ME.) What can I do to check and see if I picked up something nasty somewhere??? (Probably from some questionable link I got from www.fark.com ) Thanks in advance, for any advice anyone can offer. Much appreciated!!! -- Rooster T.

GUESS WHAT!!!!!!! source

Here's a review of the movie, from allmovie.com: And don't forget to check out the sound clips, two posts above this one - you dig!!

Didn't she run for governor too??

By now, you all know the drill....

Warning - Clip #1 kinda sucks and doesn't go anywhere (and don't blame me). But the other two really are pretty BAAAAAAADDDDDD!!!!!!!

I drive a 92 Accord Wagon, and my wife drives a 93 Accord sedan. GREAT cars, and I'd buy another Honda in a heartbeat. Look in the classifieds in the newspaper. That's how I got my wagon. Good luck!!!

About 80 more posts for me (and Sangry too, who's hot on my heals – THE BASTARD!!!), and we'll both cross over to some hitherto unknown level!!!

Szwed totally knocks it out of the park. Easily one of the best jazz biographies I've ever read, and one of the best written ones too (I can't stress this last observation about his writing enough). Don't put this off, Dan -- you'll be kickin' yourself for not having read it earlier.

Thanks!!! - glad you liked it!!!

Congrats!!!!!!

Quoting myself, I know... Did Hendrix ever cover any other Dylan tunes (besides these two, and of course "...Watchtower")??? I have a funny feeling I'm forgetting another one... I knew there was one other one... Dylan's "Drifter's Escape" (from "South Saturn Delta", though I can't for the life of me remember where this was released before SSD). Anyway, that brings the tally of Dylan songs that Hendrix covered up to four!!!

Cut-n-paste, man... Cut-n-paste. I don't type nothin' I don't have to, you dig!!

All I know is he talks real good. (Or at least he rites real good.)

Well, they weren't really standard standards, per se -- but tunes that people would know (or at least quite a few of them), so 'standards' in that sense... 1. Why Don't You Do Right? (McCoy) - 2:30 2. Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered (Hart/Rodgers) - 6:15 3. Secret Love (Fain/Webster) - 2:56 4. Black Coffee (Burke/Webster) - 3:21 5. Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home (Mullins/O'Conner Sinéad) - 4:29 6. Don't Cry for Me Argentina (Lloyd Webber/Rice) - 5:39 7. I Want to Be Loved by You (Kalmar/Ruby/Stothart) - 2:45 8. Gloomy Sunday (Javor/Lewis/Seress) - 3:56 9. Love Letters (Heyman/Young) - 3:07 10. How Insensitive (DeMoraes/Gimbel/Jobim) - 3:28 11. Scarlet Ribbons (Danzig/Segal) - 4:14 12. Don't Cry for Me Argentina [instrumental] (Lloyd Webber/Rice) - 5:10 I can't ID where all of these come from originally, but the 'big single' was "Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home", which I vaguely seem to remember was like a minor hit for Dolly Parton (??), though I cannot find any other album with a song of this title, anywhere in the AMG. Anyway, I've always thought of most of these songs as being standards of a sort.

I swear I saw an entire thread about this recently. Was it here on on AAJ??? It had gotten over 20 or 30 posts in it, so it may be worth taking a look for. (I'm not looking now. I'm up way past my sleepy time.)

Deborah Harry (several CD's with the Jazz Passengers). And I'd also probably argue Elvis Costello (though others will have to cite the specifics). Oh, and definitely Björk, who did a totally straight-ahead vocal-jazz album with her backed by a very traditional piano trio, singing in English and Iclandic (seriously!), on Gling-Gló in about 1990. Björk has also sung a small handful of big-band tracks over the years, most notably "It's Oh So Quiet" from "Post" in 1995. And Sinéad O'Connor and her 1992 album "Am I Not Your Girl?", on which she tackles all standards, backed by a big band. I actually really like this album, or at least I did at one time (haven't listened to it in a couple years).

His liner notes are a riot. Either that, or they have been known to cause riots. Where the hell did he go to college?? (A serious question, actually.) Guys don't just come out of high school knowing how to write like that (or at least like he does in his liner notes).

Thanks for posting this, Chris. GREAT story!!!

Oh COME on. "Tough rock and rollers?" I mean, the Pretenders were good for what they were, but I think even Whitesnake fits that label better than the Pretenders... Thanks!!! - glad you liked it!!!

Please tell us your middle name is Richard. Actually, his middle name reflects his 1/4 Chinese heritage, on his mother's father's side of the family (i.e., his mother's maiden name). Indeed, how else could you explain a name like Peter Wang Johnson?

Thanks!!! - glad you liked it!!!
