  1. ]

    Here's my rule:

    If you were born after October 3, 1969 (Gwen Stefani's birthday), you are allowed to like the song. Otherwise, you're best suited listening to Rob Thomas.

    If you graduated the 8th grade you AREN'T allowed to liek the song. I would hope by the time people hit high school they have developed some taste

  2. This is ridiculous... it's one thing to create a crappy band from wanna-bes but to take a pre-existing band and mess with it's harmony and rhythem (even if they need a new member) is a serious mistake. This can only spell disaster.

  3. There were so many great pop songs recorded in the 60's. Some of my favourites are:

    Do You Believe In Magic - The Lovin' Spoonful

    Get Together - The Youngbloods

    Downtown - Petula Clark

    California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas

    Solitary Man - Neil Diamond

    Help Yourself - Tom Jones

    Dandy -Herman's Hermits

    Cherish -The Association

    Let's Hang On -Four Seasons

    Sloop John B -Beach Boys

    Bend Me Shape Me -American Breed

    Piggies -Beatles

    Sugar Sugar -Archies

  4. That was a great article. THanks for posting it. Mary Poppins is one of my favorite movies of all time. I'm also kinda excited about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang coming to Broadway.

    Random Factoid: Once Chitty hits the Broadway stage, the Sherman Brothers will have two of their musicals running on stage. Mary Poppins is currently on stage in London, preparing for a Broadway debut soon.

  5. I like his early stuff as well. Also, I'm a fan of his "Unplugged. . . and Seated" album. Lots of his songs were begging to be stripped down and IMO it's a good album.

    I was going to say the same thing. I think it is one of the best live albums by almost anyone. I fell in love with Tom Traubert's Blues as soon as I had heard the Unplugged version. I haven 't herad much of the early stuff but I'm intriguied by songs like Forever Young, Little Miss Understood, and Some Guys Have All the Luck.

    I want to see him perform live, but I doubt I'd be able to afford the tix next time he comes around. But we'll see.

  6. I guess it was a perfect combination of Jack Black (Fabulous role!!!!), Cusak, John... And Todd Louiso was perfect for playing the part of Dick. I own this movie and have watched it so many times, and I still see things I had missed before.

    Don't forget Tim Robins! It was sooo wierd to see him play a scumball like Ian.

  7. Not one of John Cuasack's best films. Although I do love it for all the music references that it brings in. There are some very true to form artists that rock out on the soundtrack, as well as some great minute music triva that gets mentioned.

    I was stoked when I went back and watched it and they were talking about the band Belle and Sebastian. I flipped out. There are so many miniscule details that you can always pick up something new everytime you watch it.

    On the whole: Good movie. Own it. Watch it every now and again.

  9. Two words: Monty Python.

    Oh hell yeah. These mean are geniuses in the best way possible. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is one of my favorite movies of all time.

    Annie (Susan Sarandon) in "Bull Durham":

    I've tried them all, I really have. And, the only church that feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the church of baseball.

    This quote is one of my all time favorites. It sums up my life in the best way possible. Although I prefer the monologue that Crash says in this movie as a whole piece better:

    "Well, I believe in the soul. The c**k. The p**sy. The small of a woman's back. The hanging curveball. High fiber. Good scotch. That the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated c**p. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a Constitution Amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas eve. And I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days...Goodnight."

  10. www.whysanity.net/monos is a great site for movie monologues. There are some TV and some play ones in there as well. My all time favorite is really a TV one from an X-Files episode entitle "Musings of a Cigarette Smoking Man"

    "Life is like a box of chocolates... A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in awhile there's a... a peanut butter cup... or a... English toffee. But they're gone too fast...the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... Is an empty box, filled with useless, brown paper wrappers."

  11. I know this is kinda a repost from before but I wanted to get the word out one more time for my radio show tonight. It's my last show of the semester and is the summer concert preview.

    More importantly I'm giving away two tickets (maybe four if you beg enough) to go see Average White Band at Toad's Place in New Haven CT on May 27.

    Listen in from 8-10 EST tonight at www.wqaq.com to win. AIM: WQAQDJ Phone #: 203-281-0011

  12. I think rock 'n' roll takes the main stage cause it tends to be more popular to the masses. I wouldn't say I'm an avid country fanatic, but there are quite a few out songs or artists out there on the country circuit that I enjoy.

  13. Loreena McKeenitt has a song called the Highwayman on her CD Mystic dream(?). It was a poem by Longfellow, but it is beautiful and romantic and has to do with the Revolutionary War. (Is that "dang long ago" enough.) It relates the horrors of the British insistance of the Quartering Act on the new settlers in "the colonies" (soon to be the United States). If your teacher wants the song to have been written at the time about a situation, then how about Ohio by Neil Young.

    I like the idea of The Highwayman.

    Also if you had a specific facination with Billy JOel you could do "We DIdn't Start the Fire." it covers over three decades of significant historical and social issues.
