  1. You will have to give a rundown of the show because I am seeing them on the 16th! In one word impressive. Probably the best show outside the jazz idiom that i attended this year. I'll tell you more later. First of all the first act was a very fine band called the Budos http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/b/...nd-st2005.shtml Quite frankly i already had my money's worth with this band. Now regarding the main act. Well, they started with the soul routine with the DapKings playing instrumentals and then a MC comes singing a few songs and then introduces the singer. Once she enters the scene you get yourself into a zone of non-stop grooving, funk action with a lady who is way way way way in a better physical shape than i am. The first songs however did use some gimmickery that i could live without, first song she invited a male spectator to dance with her, second song she sang about girl's attitude and invited some girls who attended the show to strut their stuff on stage. One of the girls was so drunk she went on the stage with two bottles of beer and her bag, Jones had to tell her to drop her bottles then her bag, the lady quickly went away. The third song she asked people to do the chorus. Fortunately after that things stepped up a notch, music was tighter, more intense and to watch Jones constantly dancing in a frenetic way and singing at the top of her lungs at the same time was a mighty impressive scene. I'm not familiar with her materiel so i won't do a song by song report. She, as an encore, granted us a beautiful rendition of It's a man's man's man's world

  3. As a boxing fan Larry Merchant is one of my favourites, one of the last breed of tell it like it is sportscasters. Still in boxing Col. Bob Sheridan especially when he is alone in a booth is supremely nnoying, does not stop talking one second. Making non sense comments, arguing with himself etc. Most other sports i watch with the soud off so i really can't comment on them.
  4. Exciting game between my Steelers and the Browns yesterday. However as the Browns were trying to kick a field goal to put the game into overtime. My CD player was playing Johnny Cash who was singing those lyrics Your own personal jesus Someone to hear your prayers Someone who cares Your own personal jesus Someone to hear your prayers Someone whos there The Browns and their kicker Dawson never had a chance.

  22. I know that, i'm talking about the POV of the players. They get told to sacrifice everything for the good of the team and then they get rewarded by getting the shaft or being penalized for dumb laws like the one instigated by the Vikings. I can understand that business wise it makes sense for the teams but they have to realize that what comes around goes around. If it's a business for the team it sure is for the individuals especially that more often than not there is not going to be a next year for them.
  23. That game is to Van Basten what Irak is to Dubya.

  25. Great weekend if you want score points with the special lady in your life by letting her pick the activities of the weekend. Nothing great futbol wise and even in the NFL there is little action that is worth spending your time in front of the tube.
