It's 1978. Punk bands are singing about the death of rock. Disco is a huge media creation and corporate move to take over radio. So what happens? Rocks old guard steps up and blows them the fuck away. In June of 1978 the Rolling Stones released what many people think is their best single album: Some Girls. Even for a band that had been around forever and done everything, it was a tour de force. The original album contained 10 tracks: all of them were hits. Miss You When the Whip Comes Down Just My Imagination Some Girls Lies Far Away Eyes Respectable Before they make me run Beast of Burden Shattered If you've ever listened to a classic rock station, chances are you've heard a few of these. Is it the best ever Rolling Stones album? I don't know. They have a powerful body of work. It is certainly one of the best albums of all time and its songs will haunt classic rock formats for years to come. This album was re-released in November 2011. It now digitally re-mastered, all singing, all dancing too much sugar for a dime horse shit. It's worth having. Just remember: the original album had 10 songs. They were the songs that made an impact and mattered.

There is music that moves you. Then there is music that is fun. the Cars are, from the left: Benjamin Orr, Ric Ocasek, Elliot Easton, David Robinson and Greg Hawks. The Cars were fun packaged in a jam-tastic new age sound that tore up the charts with their debut album in 1978. You weren't looking for the meaning of life listening to the Cars. You were probably driving around, smoking weed and looking to get laid. That's what their songs were about. It wasn't just their chart-toppers either. Their first two albums had surprising depth and staying power. All Mixed Up is as haunting as Just What I needed and You're All I've Got Tonight are classic power anthems. When the Cars followed up their debut album a year later with Candy-O, they made a statement. Once again the Cars had released an infectious album that you could put on and just let it play. There were no bad songs. Just play it loud. It's music to drive dangerously fast by. Some might argue that the Cars peaked with Candy-O. The direction that the band went with their next album Panorama went to the new wave sound "whole-hog". Their fans still enjoyed a string of hits. They never caught that magic again. They did produce two albums that belong in any body's collection. Just remember to play it loud. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhfoyJt4TVE Can I touch you, are you out of touch I guess I never noticed that much Geranium lover, I'm live on your wire Oo come and take me whoever you are She's a lot like you The dangerous type She's a lot like you Come on and hold me tight Oo inside angel, always upset Keeps on forgettin' that we ever met Can I bring you out in the light My curiosity's got me tonight She's a lot like you The dangerous type Oo she's a lot like you Come on and hold me tight

young & cute is going to get more attention than old & non-cute add hawt and its pretty much a given

Let us be lovers; we'll marry our fortunes together I've got some real estate in my bag So we bought a pack of cigarettes and Mrs. Wagner's pies And we walked off, walked off, walked off to look for America "Kathy," I said, as we boarded the greyhound in Pittsburgh "Michigan seems like a dream to me now Took me four days to from Saginaw They've all gone to look for America All gone to look for America." Laughing on the bus, playing games with faces She said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy I said, "be careful, his bow-tie is really a camera." "Kathy, I'm lost," I said Though I knew she was sleeping Well, I'm empty, and aching, and I don't know why I'm Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike And they've all gone to look for America All gone to look for America "Kathy, I'm lost," I said Although I knew she was sleeping Well, I'm empty, and aching, and I don't know why I'm Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike And they've all gone to look for America All gone to look for America All gone to look for America the Diner the diner was nothing new I've seen its type in a thousand dusty places with all the same dusty worn out faces variations on a theme of a broken worn out dream I ordered from a super-model waitress Who was really going places as soon as she was done with cosmotology school and ber boyfriend gets out of the jail and she kicks the meth. I sat behind the village elite holding forth On issues great and small. The teacher of science in middle school had a far away look like a man on a hook with a fat mouthy wife and a lousey life. The sheriff came in to his free chicken dinner to see old lady Wilson and wonder if ever she would think that it wasn't his stomach that kept him coming back. And the preacher in this one horse town, arrived in his $500 suit and cadilliac a parasitic creature that comes from the dust that came with the rust when the towns falling down but the one building that is his shrine built on poor mens tithe. Alls well in Dustville. It hasn't changed a bit. Every time I travel there I die a little Its where I'm from. Its where I come. To see that nothing really changes. Times just rearranges. Different faces, different places.

I'm a LEO. Was there ever any doubt. *purrs contently*

I'll listen if it's good but boy bands are NOT. They are aimed at 12 year old girls and are neutered to be harmless in the view of parents. Their lyrics are like Fun With Dick and Jane, without the edge or the soul of a Jane's Addiction, the Cranberries, Stone Temple Pilots or Tool. If you want baby food, have at it. I'm looking for something with more substance to sink my teeth into.

Pink Floyd or Led Zep they ain't. Home, home again. I like to be here when I can. When I come home cold and tired It's good to warm my bones beside the fire. Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells. -Breath by Pink Floyd Mmmbop, ba duba dop Ba du bop, ba duba dop Ba du bop, ba duba dop Ba du Yeah Mmmbop, ba duba dop Ba du bop, Ba du dop Ba du bop, Ba du dop Ba du Yeah - MMMMbop by Hanson We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow -Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin It's gotta be you Only you It's gotta be you Only you -It's gotta be you by One Direction (circle jerk) Is this generation just retarded or did all of their talent go up in smoke when their parents were hitting the bong in the seventies and eighties???

*Sighs* Why did he have to be gay? Why couldn't he have been a freakin' Methodist layman like the BTK killer?' All of the usual nutjobs will say SEE! That's what they are all REALLY like when they aren't behaving.

As I am installing routers and switches, my gear is aimed in that direction. I do have a LOT of cabling stuff but I don't carry it on every gig. I have the stuff to make cat 5 cables but I don't need it every trip. The laptop is necessary for configuring the routers and switches,

I gave up drinking years ago but I've got lots of experience with both. There's a time and place for both. I used to like stolnaya vodka chilled- put in the freezer and served in chilled glasses. Canadian Club was my favorite sipping whiskey.

Dear 14 year old James: When you meet Nathan, go the other way. When you meet cocaine, go the other way. When you meet Chris, screw him but don't love him. That's all he's good for. Try to keep Travis around. He turns out well. General observation: leave everything alone but pot. Older James

In high end Kroger stores in Mississippi, they are beginning to put in sushi bars. I saw a man go up to one, look and turn around disgusted. I asked him what the deal was and he said that bait is entirely too expensive.

Noooo! We'll be extinct in no time. We don't want to send the most obnoxious members of our species out into deep space no matter how tempting it seems. Phred Phelps alone would start numerous interstellar wars just for being so insidiously creepy.

As a guy from Cajun country in Mississippi, my chances of meeting Asian people have been few and far between. I'm grateful that GA has given us a place to get to know each other. I've had a lot of fun and have been enriched by the experience. Now... I just wish the Pacific were not quite so wide.

Congrats. You are the most screwed generation ever. The Chinese are going to eat your lunch, the Ayatollahs are going to nuke you and Kim Jung Un is going to annoy the shit out of you while Europe looks on condescendingly until they get screwed by the Russians and scream for help. Oh yeah- you are all born owing $75,000. Enjoy.

When boy bands are mentioned, one name comes to mind: Lou Pearlman. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Pearlman http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/11/pearlman200711

No. Even if gay marriage were legal, I'm not interested. I'm not interested in the fat old bald farts that are interested in me nor am I fool enough to chase guys half my age. I may be gay and the idea of sex is appealing but the interested parties ARE NOT.

OK- if you are 12 and your parents buy your stuff. A lot of gamers I know are adults and ALL of US buy their own stuff. The idea that video games are just for kids is WAY, WAY out of date. I resent parents trying to dumb down games so they are ONLY appropriate for their 10 year olds. If parents want to control what their kids are playing, then they should take care of their OWN business and quit trying to force the government or the industry to do it.

A lot of our GA kids are growing up. We're proud of all of them.

Who cares what parents want. They don't buy and play video games. Market games to gamers- a much better plan.

I found this gem on e-bay. Some j@ck@ss stole my copy of this album and Weird Scenes Inside the Gold Mine back in the day. I'm not a big vinyl collector but I've got some good stuff. Lots of it is 1st edition. It's an awesome album and worth a few bucks. The album art is cool and the tracks read like a best of the early Doors which of course it was. the Doors 13 tracks Side One Light My Fire People Are Strange Backdoor Man Moonlight Drive The Crystal Ship Roadhouse Blues Side Two Touch Me Love Me Two Times You're Lost Little Girl Hello, I Love You Land Ho!

I'll explain it to you easy. Big market Patriots screw up with Spy-gate: 0 games suspended Small market Saints screw up with Bounty-gate: 77 games suspended (coaches, players and administrators combined) + $500,000 fine + no 2nd round picks for 2 years. The NFL commissioners office is trying to show that it's still credible and relevant after bending over for Belichick.
