  1. HAAHAHA you can't have it.. i mean.. come on.. i'll be watchin Fedor break Tim Sylvia's face later on that same day.. I just qualified with my patrol rifle.. can i help it.. abba just does it to me..

  2. My co-workers are def questioning my masculinity but then again they're cops not known to be the brightest breed.. I'm looking forward to seeing Mamma Mia far more than ANOTHER batman movie.. the heath ledger point will compel me to see it because regardless of his death he was a helluva actor..

    as for Mamma Mia.. i hope its pulled off well.. i've seen the stage play in kansas city.. atlanta.. and Vegas.. Absolutely love it.. haha the kids better like it too i'm takin them..

  3. Umm as for commercial stuff.. just saw Hancock.. and though will smith is gettin a little tomcruised to me. i actually liked it.. found it entertaining.. and it seemed quick.. it never dragged out..

    As for funny stuff.. caught an old Roger Corman indy movie from the early 70's called GASSSS With Cindy Williams (Laverne and Shirley) and Ben Vereen.. that.. was..... umm interesting.. i couldn't stop watching at 2:35am.. Follow it? not a chance.. but it was memorable..

  4. Feargal Sharkey.. the english solo artist.. Big fan of his back in the 80's heard him on a cool ass show on WXRT in Chicago called "Rock over London".. it came on Wed at 10pm i never missed it..

    "A good heart" went to #`1 in the UK but hit only 74# in the US. and an even better song.. "You little Thief" hit 5# in the UK but never even charted here.. Feargal was even on an American Bandstand episode i remember. Dangit.. thought i would be ahead of the boys in the hood with him.. but he never got anywhere here..

  5. I totally agree Barry.. when Terry Kath playing around blew his head off. Chicago.. just sank.. the syrupy Peter Cetera stuff is what everyone remembers now..

    Ironic.. Cetera won't return or from what i understand doesn't communicate with the guys at all..

    Terry Kath.. man.. Questions 67&68

  6. I don't remember anything on GFRR and drugs.. i know that they got ripped off badly by their manager..

    Too young to have seen em.. but its funny that with as many records they sold.. the critics hated em and seemingly they get left out when great bands are discussed.

  7. I don´t think many people know this song, "Sensitive" by Mick Karn, bassist of Japan and Dali´s Car ... it´s a cover of Brazilian singer Roberto Carlos´ song, "La Distancia"...

    WOW take me back. that Dali's Car album was awesome.. it was Mick Karn of Japan and Peter Murphy of Bauhaus.. kind of a one off thing.. that was fantastic album.. i liked it better than Peter's solo stuff..

  8. I simply wasn't a big fan of the new version of Hotel California.. the twin guitar attack of Fielder and Walsh really nailed that song for me.. and the flamenco thing.. just didn't get me

    As for Stairway.. i had to vote for it.. i love Page's solo.. it just tells a story and builds on itself.. i read plant quote that he always thought that Kashmir would be the song that people would flip for.. Well its good.. and we don't need to go through that Puffy incident

  9. I have a cd i've had since college (late 80's early 90's) of a british band three piece called STAIN. their black i think (tough to tell from picture but i believe so)..

    Its great however i've googled it and man i can't come up with it.. Has anybody heard of them.. or heard em? One part of a lyric to a great song is.. "My father once said.. its better to be.. strong than the weak.. shepherd than the sheep..my father once said..

  10. Page & Plant - Big Log

    My love is in league with the freeway

    Its passion will ride, as the cities fly by

    And the tail-lights dissolve, in the coming of night

    And the questions in thousands take flight

    My love is a-miles in the waiting

    The eyes that just stare, and the glance at the clock

    And the secret that burns, and the pain that grows dark

    And it's you once again

    Leading me on - leading me down the road

    Driving beyond - driving me down the road

    My love is exceedingly vivid

    Red-eyed and fevered with the hum of the miles

    Distance and longing, my thoughts do provide

    Should I rest for a while at the side

    Your love is cradled in knowing

    Eyes in the mirror, still expecting they'll come

    Sensing too well when the journey is done

    There is no turning back - no

    There is no turning back - on the run

    My love is in league with the freeway

    Oh the freeway, and the coming of night-time

    My love is in league with the freeway

    Just Plant on that one.. the second album principle of Moments.. Robbie Blunt on guitar.. great track..

  11. John Entwistle

    Jack Bruce

    Paul McCartney

    to name a few....It's hard to say the best...I think they are all great and all have their own styles....very hard to compare....

    I really like the bass in The Animals tunes....don't know the guys name...I'll have to look it up.... :P

    My daughter's boyfriend would tell you it's Jaco Pastorius all the way.... :)

    That'd be Chas Chandler.. the guy who "discovered" Jimi Hendrix..
