  1. There is actually some funny stuff back there, and posts by some people that are either no longer around or do not post much anymore. I give it a , even if it never went the intended direction.
  2. Same here.
  3. Drowning has got to be a terrible way to go. R.I.P.
  4. The only Elton cd I own is Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, it really seemed like it was something back in the day, now I can't really get into it all that much. My oldest sister was a huge Elton John fan. For me, he's done as much more crap than good. My lady though, she likes him. I own no Rod Stewart and never have, however I dig him some when I hear it on the radio. Lots of catchy tunes from that guy. Good memories from the 70s. Stevie Wonder has more memorable stuff from the earlier days and a lot of shit in the latter, but I still give him props.
  5. Just had a few cold Stellas with dinner, now on to the Sambuca.
  6. Winter hits New York!!
  7. I've been real pleased with his stuff coming out on High Note.
  8. Got the email today from cduniverse for the new realease and listened to the samples. I likes what I hear and will be placing an order.
  9. Tough choice, but I picked.... One of my most revisited.
  10. I'd love to see this show, but I'll be out of town and don't return until the 20th.
  11. Hey, I've got some old cassettes of shit I recorded off the radio back in the 70's if anyone's interested... Any Supertramp in there?
  12. I get it. So 60 yrs later we're supposed to be ashamed over a victory over a military force representing an evil murderous regime. These battles didn't take place in a vacuum. They were part of a glorious ongoing struggle over fascism and the culture of death and destruction. Sorry it wasn't aesthetically pleasing enough for you to celebrate. No shit.
  13. It will happen. The show is way over exposed now. Between all the clips being played 24/7, syndication, and whatever else they have going on, it will go the way of "Fear Factor" some day soon. I remember there was a time you couldn't go a day without people talking about "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?", and now?
  14. I'll still don't understand the hype and popularity of this show. I've seen clips and maybe a partial episode or two and have to admit it's funny laughing at the bad, but then I look at the host and the judges. Where is Paula Abdul's musical career? Where does she get off judging singing ability? If ever there was a computer enhanced voice/studio created career, it Paula Abdul. She was cute and could dance, but sing? Forget about it. I had the misfortune of seeing her live early in her career at a mobile audio show. She was terrible. I couldn't get away and back to the bar quick enough. They must ohave riginally picked her as a joke, or had a long list of people that declined. From the clips I hear played on the radio non-stop, all the comments by the judges seem to be about the same for each contestant. The only difference is whether the person was good or bad. Plus, I can't stand that fake, talentless douchebag Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest Out!!
  15. It would have been nice to see it get a makeover. I'm always sorry to see a historic place torn down for office space or condos, but this place lost it's grandeur many years ago and is a real shit hole.
  16. badoom,... ching!
  17. Yes it is. You can't not love Ella.
  18. Somehow, I get the feeling that might actually happen. On Howard Stern they made the comment that "James Brown is the hardest working dead man in show business". Sad to say, it's true.
  19. Poor James is still above ground. James Brown's Body Remains in S.C. Home Wednesday January 10, 2007 3:46 AM By KATRINA A. GOGGINS Associated Press Writer COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - The body of soul singer James Brown has yet to be buried as attorneys and his children work to settle issues surrounding his estate, including where he will be laid to rest. For now, his body lies in a sealed casket in his home on Beech Island, said Charles Reid, manager of the C.A. Reid Funeral Home in Augusta, Ga., which handled the services. Brown died of heart failure Dec. 25 at age 73. His will has yet to be filed, said Buddy Dallas, an attorney for the singer. The room where Brown's body lies is being kept at a controlled temperature, and security guards keep watch, Reid said. The funeral home delivered Brown's body after services Dec. 30, Reid said. Brown's home has been locked since hours after his death to protect his memorabilia, furnishing, clothes and other personal items, Dallas said. ``Just imagine what would have happened,'' Dallas said. ``Items of James Brown would have left there like items off the shelves of Macy's in an after-Christmas sale.'' The trustees for his will, along with Brown's children, will determine the burial site, Dallas said. Tomi Rae Hynie, Brown's partner, said shortly after his death that she encountered locked gates as she tried to get into the home she says she shared with the singer and their 5-year-old son. She wouldn't discuss the incident Tuesday, but her lawyer said Hynie should be granted access to the home, although he would not talk about whether Hynie might take legal action. ``The hope is that all parties can sit down and figure out what the problem is and what the challenges are,'' attorney Thornton Morris said. ``And once we figure out what the challenges are we'll see if we can't resolve something that's a win for everybody.'' Meanwhile, a woman who claims Brown raped her nearly 20 years ago said Tuesday she will continue her lawsuit. Jacque Hollander has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear her sexual harassment suit, which a lower court ruled last year she had waited too long to file. A Supreme Court decision on whether to hear the case is pending. She argues that the two-year statute of limitations in such cases does not provide equal protection to women. ``This has been a long road that ended tragically Christmas morning,'' Hollander said in a phone interview with the Associated Press. ``As a rape victim, I will never get to face him in court, and it hurts,'' she said. ``But we are moving forward. We filed against his organization, as well as him. So now his organization stands in front of him.'' In her lawsuit, Hollander said Brown raped her at gunpoint in 1988 while she was his publicist. She seeks $106 million in damages. A federal appeals court tossed out Hollander's lawsuit in August. ``There was nothing to it 20 years ago and nothing to it 20 years later,'' Dallas said.
