I don't normally watch the NBA, or any basketball for that matter, but I had to see what was so special about this years Lakers team. I'm still waiting...

Um...

Yeesh...not me. I guess it all boils down to how much you penalize a band for being convinced of their own coolness. For me, if I'm not hanging out with them, I don't feel it comes into play. Of course, that's just comparing the Bob Seegar to Steely Dan; in comparing the two songs in question, I'll pass on both.

Never say never; I'm just getting to them at fifty...

I agree. We're talking yard sale at best!

Is there a way to 'bookmark' a single post? Still on my 'neglected SF' kick; I've been reading some of Gordon R. Dickson's Dorsai novels. Good entertainment, I guess, but nothing special...

I'll confess, I bought it. And enjoyed it. I just didn't sign on for the thirty year cruise...

Damn it, this thread makes even less sense than the first one!

Damn...that's just wrong!

Manufactured 'collectables' pretty much slide under my radar; my brain shuts off at the first hint of such dreck.

Did they merge with Abner's?

Just saw the news in the Oregonian. I guess as we get older, news like this is to be expected more and more, but somehow that doesn't help much.

$30??? Okay, I was interested up to that point...

God, I hope not; what a travesty! As for fish and chips, of course we've got them, at least in urban areas. Heck, we even had chains of the places (H. Salt) since at least 1971. I won't pretend it's at the top of most American's lists of places to go, but it's available. I love the stuff myself, but to be fair, it's only because of the malt vinegar. With enough vinegar, I can eat damn near anything...

Okay, now we know what it takes to get me to open an illustration-intensive thread with a dial-up connection...

I really think it's unfair to give the title of 'worst ever' to a compilation album, and in particular, a rock music movie album (the competition is too fierce in that genre to pick just one winner anyway!); I would prefer to give the award to excellent bands who, either by hanging on too long, or just by accident, produce such an incredibly bad LP that, momentarily, you have to question whether or not they were as good as you thought they were. This is why these two albums always come to my mind in these discussions: Naturally, I don't expect the agreement that the FM soundtrack garnished, but damn, these were a couple of disappointments!

Well, that's just insulting. As soon as I figure out which of the two should feel insulted, I'll get back to you...

And, being a Mott the Hoople fanatic, I wanted to like them so much. What a boring let down. I'd have to say stadium concerts did serious damage to the artform.

I don't completely agree with that; I thought that their first LP had serious possibilities. I remember at the time thinking they could go one of two ways, either interesting and quirky pop, or boring dinosaur rock. Obviously, they didn't agree with me on the appropriate direction...

Don't fall for it, Tom! I've seen this one; you end up with the money, but three weeks later, a box shows up with 23 more kittens on your doorstep!!!

Thank goodness no one's posted Tony's yet. Everything wrong with Louisiana in one easy to use package... As far as spice mixes, I'm with Jim. I make my own. Though, mind you, the worcestershire sauce is always near when it's steak grilling time... My usual chicken rub is equal amounts of salt, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.

The question of whether or not to break any law is solely up to each individual, but there may be consequences. This is Captain Obvious, signing off...

Ah, the life of a musician! But watch out...I heard a rumor that Joe was seen hanging out with Yoko... Switching to serious for a moment, congratulations!

Actually, I think what you really mean is that there are people on this board who disagree with you...

I realize I'm stepping on some toes here, but I always thought Pet Sounds was one of the most overrated albems in rock. It's relative obscurity is well deserved...
