Oh, just kidding about all that anyway. I kind of like No Sugar Tonight, but that's about as far as it goes. I've never owned an album by the Who, or the Guess Who.

The Trees! Forgot about that one. However: "Mountains come out of the sky; they stand there..." ...is not much richer.

None to report here either.

I love the "poor man's" label. If you can afford to buy an album by Rush, you can surely afford one by Yes. And anyway, Rush wasn't the poor man's Yes, they were the thinking man's metal band. :rsmile: Triumph was indeed many times worse than Rush. Much more of a Spinal Tap flair. Lame rhythm section. Rick Emmett had a penchant for writing songs about music itself, for some reason. Never cared for the Guess Who. The poor man's The Who, if you ask me. Which you didn't.

Nice also to have found something to annoy deus with! A Farewell to Kings has some fun tunes.

Well La-De-Da.

Bytor and the Snowdog. :rsmile:

Thank you, Jim. One of these days I'm actually going to take advantage of these threads of yours and buy some of this stuff! Man, some of that cover art is way cool. For your next thread, how about what's going on now in the world of Brazilian music?

Looks cool! They're doing a bunch of shows with Lonnie, but they're all up in patricia's neck-o-the-woods.

Great shot!!!!

Class of '88. Voted most talented. Musically, I was a metalhead like Shawn (yes, this is the same guy who went on to write Life Wish and Pre Dawn Rain ), though not quite so hardcore when it came to living the life; I stayed in school. Did just what I needed to do to graduate, and nothing more. Drove my parents crazy every year to hear the same thing at conferences: "Bright kid, we love it when he participates... but he's just not motivated." Had some good times and made a couple of lifelong friends, but I'd rather not reminisce. Too many regrets. They don't call you young and dumb for nothing.

A big Happy Birthday to my musical soulmate! We'll rock the house down at Founders Tuesday night!

The rivers are high. A couple of golf courses are flooded, and probably a lot of basements, but otherwise, we haven't experienced the worst of it here. The farmers in the area might give you a different answer.

Or was it with a real doll?

I went for a walk out back (same woods I wrote about in the "earlier thread") to check on where the river was after all the rain we've been getting. It's higher than I ever remember it being. There's a golf course on the northern edge of the woods that's completely underwater (the floodplain--great spot for a golf course, morons!). The footbridge I wrote about is normally 3 1/2 to 4 feet above the surface of the water. Today the water was actually touching the underside of it. Parts of the trails were completely flooded. Pretty wild. Though everything is very green, I have to say.

Happy Belated, Mike! Jim's birthday present to me was a knuckle sandwich; hope he does better by you...

Have a good one, Chuck. I'm looking forward to our next meeting. B)

Me too. I played a benefit a few years ago in a room full of his paintings. Intense. Wow! Cool, man. B)

I'm no expert, but I usually feel better after gazing at some of Alex Grey's work.

Ask Sangrey.

I would if I could! It was the perfect setup for me before I got transferred. I could hop on my bike and soon be on a paved bike/walking trail that goes straight downtown. I didn't even have to deal with traffic as long as I was on the path. What was interesting is that it took me about 15 minutes to drive there, and only 20 to bike. And of course the bike path was much more interesting. I've been given a glimmer of hope that I might be back there soon.

And, under my proposal, its likely that Arnold would have the right to drive his Hummer. Then I'm sorry, Dan, but I cannot support this initiative.

The first civilian to be seen driving a Hummer on the streets of L.A. in the wake of Desert Storm is now the current Governer of California.
