    Give and Take

    I hope this is the right person/group ! Esteban is a guitarist who studied under, and was given his stage name, by the great Spanish classical guitarist, Segovia. He lost the use of his hands for 10 years following a car accident (1980), but struggled back and since has put out numerous CD's which are often in the Billboard charts. (I've finished my homework now, Muzik, can I go ? ) Give: Four Tops
  2. No idea if it's sound financially (does seem like chump change at first hearing though alongside the other figures ). I do sense from watching/reading her past interviews that she did feel a bit overwhelmed and uncomfortable with the resposibility of carrying the whole 'Elvis Inc./legacy thing' on her shoulders, even with her mother's help. She seems to really want to carve out an unique identity for herself -- perhaps like McCartney's daughter. Without any clear reason(s) why, I've always felt sorry for her and hope this was a good move. Don't want to read in 10+ years or so from now, " A Pennyless and Broken Lisa Marie Cries: I've Been Swindled !" or the like

    Just remembered one, Corvette Summer with Mark Hammil, late '70's after Star Wars -- pretty well doomed him to playing Luke or Luke-like characters.
  4. Not 'the best' nor rock, but darn good : Abba, The Bee Gees, Crowded House/Split Enz, The Little River Band, The Righteous Brothers, The Supremes

    "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - nothing more nor less. " " The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is, " said Humpty Dumpty, " Which is to be master - that's all. " ::
  8. If you want to see the Stones in prime form (of course you do ) "Still Life" is great ! In fact, I'm sure Sammy's avatar is from that tour !! Good call on "Rattle and Hum" as well as "Live At Red Rocks" though
  9. Are we talkin' wrestlin' or rastlin' here ? ::
  10. Trust sammy to STILL be pissed about a wrestling match from 20 +(?) years ago ...did you lose money ? Say, Superbowl this year, who's going to be there and take it all -- Eagles or Steelers ? (grabs note pad)
  11. He murdered himself making it LOOK like a suicide ?
  12. Oddly, I've been waiting for TP to post in on wrestling.... (moves quickly for the door !)

    Bowie --No way !

    Ea, what was REALLY funny, was that I would say 75 +% didn't know who he was -- but screamed just the same ! Most were there for a night of DJ ing (J-Pop/poop) and couldn't care less, nor knew what happened. A lot of video cameras, though, so should turn up somewhere...
  14. "Don't Worry, Be Happy" -- Bobby McFerran "Feeling Groovy" -- Simon and Garfunkle "Flies on the Windscreen"-- Depeche Mode These songs will take you to a funky pit (if that's were you want to go), laddy,... don't worry !
  15. Tonight, for whatever reason ( the god's were smiling), club quattro, just had Bowie show up as Fergus ,The Angry Scott ! No one was expecting it, a casual club~1,000 max.(packed) ! Played a half-hour set (Ashes to Ashes/ Changes/ Loving the Alien/ China Girl/ Cat-People/ I'm Afraid of Americans). Too much ! I love Japan--sometimes ! :guitar:
  16. Isn't this a ' random thought' ? ::
  17. "Ah, the children of the night... what sweet music they make !" ::

    Say, XXX / Tybalt et al, would you consider the Van Damme/ Steven Segal movies "B" ? Seriously. I do -- or are they just "bad" ? ::

    EA, have you had the misfortune of hearing a N. Amer. say "Wank-eRRR" or "puff"--minus the 'oo' sound ? P.S To all N.Amer.'s ,never use 'mate' to an Aussie, unless you're skilled enough to throw an "Y" in there, Myate !

    EA, is this friend British ? I'm trying to hear it with an accent in my head -- does it sound like N.Amer. "did" ? :: I have a Scottish friend here who also loves the word and it sounds like " DYOUU- D" ! ::

    Thanks , XXX, for ' fleshing ' out the definition -- a master! Soulgirl, if you wan't the bigger picture pm this guy or Tybalt. I feel like I'm in a small bubble here with my picks. More to the definition, and back me up guys ( or set me straight) : B movies are often called exploitation films also as they often cling to a current trend in the mainstream (ie. fantasy, action, horror, soft-core, etc.) and try for a quick payday based on the current interest (I guess like the B side of a 45 RPM). For example, think of all the cheap rip-offs following the surprising success of films like "Conan" or "Halloween". Interestingly, though, sometimes a 'good' "B" can set off a whole canon of look-alikes as well ! Also, most "B"'s have their own merits, be it a director, a scene, an actor, a special effect, a catch-phrase, etc. Surprisingly, many big names got their start in B-movies: ex. Jack Nicholson spent much of his early career in B's. Check some out ! ::

    Kevin tries to speak without using pronouns. Kevin thinks it makes Kevin sound 'mysterious' , but most people tend to just avoid Kevin's company. Hmm ? ::
