In 1970 Black Sabbath released their self-titled album, established Ozzy Osborn as an artist and became one of metals premier and most influential bands. During its time, Black Sabbath was highly controversial because of its dark imagery. Their music was widely criticized by evangelicals of all sorts on several continents. When asked about this Ozzy said, "It's not about evil love. It's about selling albums," http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCjspyo-_aI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ey2zwdErPvQ

Saturday night bonus track: Bastille Day from Caress of Steel, 1975.

Rush's breakout album came in 1976. 2112 was the paragon of the power trio. Inspired by Anthem, a novella by Ayn Rand, 2112 explored a dystopian future where collectivism had run amok and individuality was so dangerous that there was no word for "I" or "me". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQEgZNqa8jE

1972 marked the breakout year for the band Deep Purple. Their album Machinehead became something of the beginning of the metal genre. Their contemporaries Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin continued to add the power, volume and edge that defines metal. The following songs became the noise that drove a generation of parents to drink. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ-lSTlUnfA

NFL shifting start time of doubleheaders' 2nd game http://stats.athlonsports.com/fb/story.asp?i=20120628112530409798408 NEW YORK (AP) Tim Tebow was leading the Broncos on yet another improbable last-minute comeback, and fans in New York, Dallas and other football-mad markets didn't get to see the end. The NFL announced a scheduling change Thursday aimed at preventing such moments. The league is shifting the start time of the second game of its Sunday TV doubleheaders by 10 minutes to ensure fewer fans miss any of the action on the field. The late afternoon matchups on CBS and Fox will kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET instead of 4:15. Late games not on that week's doubleheader network will still start at 4:05. Because of the networks' contractual obligations, fans in the past would sometimes miss the end of the early telecast or the beginning of the late one if the 1 p.m. game ran long. The broadcasters must switch to the start of the second game in the home teams' cities even if the day's first televised contest is still going on. For fans in other markets, that overlap means they don't get to see the opening of the late game. During the 2009-11 seasons, 44 games lasted long enough to require part of the audience to be switched. Under the 4:25 kickoff, that number would have been reduced to 15. On Dec. 4, Denver beat the Minnesota Vikings on a field goal as time expired on Fox, the Broncos' fifth straight win as Tebow-mania swept the country. The game ended at 4:19 p.m. ET, so hometown fans of the Packers, Giants, Cowboys, Cardinals, Rams and 49ers - whose teams played in the 4:15 game - missed the final seconds. NBC said it would not change the way it produces its Sunday night pregame show, which starts at 7 p.m.

The schools are making millions off of college sports. Even the perennial losers in big conferences make mint off the TV contracts. With all that money changing hands and, the athletes not even getting a happy meal, it is a situation that lends itself easily to serious corruption. Most of these guys are NOT going to be pros- they are all being used. To call it a privilege to be taken advantage of in a gigantic way and risk major injury, it is one I would happily do without.

Four is way to narrow. I was thinking 8-12 would be about right. A good mix of teams and conferences and a reasonable number of games.

What problems? The South Eastern Conference champion is number 1. No problem.

The first giant hit from Yes was the Yes Album in Feb. 1971. It hit no. 4 on the UK charts, #40 on the Billboard 200 and certified platinum. The Yes Album was so unique and different from what was being done that it would stop people in their tracks. It's rare when a new sound comes along and even rarer still when its allowed to flourish by an industry that is traditionally known for me-too sound-a-like whoredom.

In 1966 a rock manager impressed by the young guitar genius Jimi Hendrix, helped him form his band, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and record the album Are You Experienced. The chemistry was magic. The album exploded on the UK charts and soon made inroads into the US market which finally accepted a rock band with a black front man. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqf9FxaMIsI Because of his unique style, the combination of blues, jazz, funk and pioneering new techniques with feedback, amplifier use and innovative technology, Hendrix has been one of the most influential guitarists of all time.

Listen to her. She's getting off on it.

Listen to the girl who is the ringleader. Notice how she is emboldened to go even further when the victim shows pain. She's excited in a way that almost sexual. I suspect that she has been sexually abused and has lost the normal empathy response that most people feel. She is excited by the pain of others- very, very high on the sociopathy scale. You typically see this in prisoners with long sentences for torture/murders. This girl is headed for deep trouble.

If you are going to represent gay people, dare I suggest that you NOT act like an ass hat.

From now on when somebody does something fucked up, I want the media to say something like: Canadian heterosexual porn star cannibal on the lamb... Seriously, if he wasn't gay would we have even heard of this without the sensational headline?

Supertramp c.1978- Doug Thompson, Rick Davies, Roger Hodgson, John Helliwell and Bob Siebenberg In 1979 Supertramp, an established British arena rock band, released their sixth album. Breakfast in America became an instant hit providing three hit songs in the US and two top 10 hits in the UK. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5k3JVfxluFU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0VjNxQgxNU Well some they do and some they don't, Some you just can't tell. Some they will and some they won't, And some it's just as well...

Keep reading. There's more coming.

It takes a thick skin... and a cattle prod.

Private Tim is right. This woman doesn't have the gonads to deal with delinquents... err I mean jr high aged fuk-wits. This is how you do it right: fuk-wit: ...you're fat proper response: Well you're a fuk-tard and I can lose weight so what's your point numb-nutz? problem solved.

What happens when you put together a group of classically trained and very talented musicians? You get Yes. Yes was, at its high water mark, Jon Anderson(vocals), Chris Howe(lead guitar), Chris Squire(bass), Rick Wakeman(keyboards) and Alan White(percussion). Yes circa 1972 left to right: White, Howe, Wakeman, Squire, Anderson In 1971 Yes was flying high. Their breakthrough album the Yes Album was gathering fame and awards for the band. When they released Fragile in November, they became one of the biggest acts in arena rock. Yes filled a rare niche in the rock world. Their music was tagged as progressive or art rock and compared with Emerson, Lake and Palmer. Yes simply refused to cataloged or categorized; their sound was completely unique and superbly executed by exceptionally talented musicians. Yes has enjoyed a long association with the artist Roger Dean :>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Dean_%28artist%29

Linux is embedded in a lot of stuff. Android is the big one but you find it in other places too. Kind of under-the-hood you might say. In the cash registers that I install, they run Linux and load Java programs to communicate with the Point of Sale systems.

There is an eternal debate: who is the best guitarist ever. Jeff Beck and Jimi Hendrix get a mention. So does Jimmy Page and others. Only one has actually been deified by their fans. Eric Clapton is certainly one of the most influential guitarist of all time. He has been inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame three times: once as a Yardbird, once as a member of Cream and finally as a solo artist. His career began in the sixties and continues. My favorite album by Clapton is called Slowhand. Released in 1977, Slowhand came at a time when punk, new wave and disco sounds were beginning to dominate the airwaves. Clapton's album brought back the classic power trio sound.
