Life: Sanitized for Your Protection!

Or at least admit that his name is actually "Martin Milner III" rather than "John Stevens IV", from the looks of the photos Lon posted...

Holy shit!

Never seen it, never will. And I'm disgustingly smug about it. Hey, they got me with cigarettes, but this shit? Come on!

Okay, this name isn't really that bizzare, but one that I'd forgotten about that just popped into my head from some found memory...anyone remember Destroy All Monsters?

I agree. Greg, if you can't stop yourself from looking, just get on the ignore list. As for the copyright problem, singling out the Political forum is a bit silly, considering the copyrighted LP/CD covers plastered all over the various "listening to" and 'whatever' cover threads here. Not to mention the photos on the Babe thread as Simon points out. My guess is that the problem that will bite this board in the ass much sooner than copyright violations is the rampant bandwidth theft when people post photos from other site directly rather than downloading the photo and then uploading it to the board. I must admit to being guilty as well, but this is something most "netizens" consider bad form, and can really screw things up for those with limited bandwidth availability.

Lee Morgan's Ceora from Cornbread does it for me.

I didn't vote; outside of that one hit, I don't think I've ever heard anything by him, although I've bid on Buttercorn Lady a few times on eBay...

If you just need a few, there's always Target, but it'll be more like .30 (in packs of ten) than .19.

Welcome from me as well, but if we're adopting high standards...

Sounds like our dorm room Freshman year...

Ask Miles...

Another "gift" from my other half... A nun, really needing to go to the bathroom, walked into a local Hooters. The place was hopping with music and dancing, but every once in a while, the lights would turn off. Each time after the lights would go out the place would erupt into cheers. However, when the revelers saw the nun, the room went dead silent. She walked up to the bartender, and asked, "May I please use the restroom?" The bartender nervously replied, "I really don't think you should." "Why not?" the nun asked. "Well, there is a life-size statue of a naked man in there, and his most private parts are covered only by a fig leaf." "Nonsense," said the nun, "I'll just look the other way." So the bartender showed! the nun the door at the top of the stairs, and she proceeded to the restroom. After a few minutes, she came back out, and the whole place was hopping wit h music and dancing again. However, they did stop just long enough to give the nun a loud round of applause. She walked up to the bartender and said, "Sir, I don't understand. Why did they applaud for me just because I went to the restroom?" "Well, because now they know you're one of us," said the bartender. "Would you like a drink?" "But, I still don't understand," said the puzzle nun. "You see," laughed the bartender, "every time the fig leaf on that statue is lifted up, the lights go out in the whole place. Now, how about that drink?"

All I know of Joan Osborne is her work on the DVD Standing in the Shadows of Motown, which was pretty good, I thought. (Her work, I mean; overall, the DVD was damned good!)

Damn it, where's that Airborne truck!

And I can certainly understand your feeling that way! Wow...absolutely beautiful...

I love that Pepper Adams!

I'm shocked that the fairly well known Toad the Wet Sprocket hasn't been mentioned. Unless, of course, you guys think that's normal...

Well, the idea of ways to bring people into jazz never occured to me as this thread opens, because to me, "cornerstone" or "100 Essential LPs" just aren't the way to do it and never were. Lists like these are for people who are already bit by the bug, but are still new to the genre in my opinion. Lists like these are what I looked at once I was already hooked on jazz but wanted more context and a wider exposure to the music. If someone isn't already hooked on jazz, why would they even care what the cornerstone recordings are? To borrow from earlier in the discussion, I think the Hot Five and Hot Sevens are a "cornerstone" recording and agree that Brubeck's Take Five isn't. But if I was trying to turn someone on to jazz, I'd be a lot more likely to hand them the Brubeck than the Armstrong. I don't see lists like this as being at all compatible with introducing people to jazz...

Well, it sounds cooler than "Kiiiiiiiirk!"

No cell phone, no cable, no car....what are ya, Amish? Hey, we got one o' them there "mikerwave" thingies; how far do we have to go?

Don't mind me, Bill; I'm just a smart ass...

I hear ya! I'll trade you my "what the hell is this" for yours....

That clinches it; we're going to Williamsburg!

If I don't buy coffee filters tomorrow, there's gonna be one grumpy moose around these parts...
