I think Carr has been absolutely solid for his entire career .. just on shitshow team/shitshow organization. He's durable, accurate, professional. I've always loved the guy and I think the Raiders were very wise to secure him (if they can commit to giving him some talent to work with).

Oh, you should. It’s good stuff.

You should probably move onto a different thread, then.

He was a joy to watch. I miss players like him ... a lot.

This is amazing. Best World Series ever, IMO.

Yeah, I don't know if I'd pull the trigger on a White Stripes arena show. Jack White is on an arena tour now and there's not a chance in hell I buy those tickets.

That set list is KILLER! Never got to see them and I hope they reunite.

I am guessing that you haven't listened to many White Stripes or Jack White albums.

The Beatles quit at the right time. When I think of that, I always think about the Police, who quit after a 5-year run. I could talk about the Police for days, but I won't get off topic, LOL. Some bands just go on for too long. I am a HUGE Zep fan, but - while I'm obviously not glad that Bonham passed - had they kept making new music, it would have been pure crap. Lots of crap on In Through the Out Door. The Stones' longevity is nothing short of remarkable. They were still pumping out hits in the 80s, for Christ's sakes. I never factor in solo stuff when thinking about the Beatles' (or other bands) legacy. That stretch through 1969 was the greatest in rock and/or pop history, in my opinion and it's why I always opine that they're the best ever.

I just want the Bills to draft him early to get @mrags' reaction to another over-drafted Spiller. This kid even wears #28, just like CJ!

What the ***** does this mean?

Totally agree. The RRHOF is a complete joke and I no longer pay attention who's inducted/snubbed. It's a crock.

With English being your second language, I can't believe it either!

Rickey was an artist at the plate and on the bases. The art of drawing a walk is gone from the game. Other than the obvious HR records that fell to the steroid era, another less-heralded record was also "beaten," ... Henderson's bases on balls record. Bonds (on paper) is now the leader. That is a goddamn shame.

I get what you're saying, but something about calling the Beatles a pop band rubs me the wrong way. I do realize that their early stuff was very poppy. I also concede that Macca was a pop song writing machine till the end. But I don't necessarily consider all of their radio-successful hits to be pop songs, per se. And the unreleased tunes were certainly not pop. The White Album was chock full of rock/rock-n-roll. However ... when I think "rock and roll," the Stones always come to mind first for me. I feel like it's attitude and presence, just as much as it is the music.

Mets in 1986. The End.

What happened to the VCR Alert??

It's a great song with a beautiful message. Overplayed? Sure. Overrated? Not sure how one comes to that conclusion. It's got great lyrics, the music was well written, vocals were fantastic, it makes most people with a functional brain actually think. Everything a great song should have, no? Yep. Nothing I'd want to listen to every day. I have never been a big Lennon solo fan, but I do like a lot of it.

Vai bored us to death. Yes ... he's amazing. But zero feel, as you said. Yngwie is like a caricature of the most self-absorbed 80s rock guitarist who ever lived. The entire crowd sat down and figuratively yawned during his set. Abasi is amazing (plays an 8-string guitar) and played with lots of emotion/was very engaging. But it was more of an appreciation for something unique and incredible set; not something anyone went crazy over. This was an arena (Albany Palace Theater) that holds less than 3K, but still spacious with a nice balcony (where my son and I sat). Zakk Wylde did War Pigs and for the solo, he walked around the entire arena .. down every aisle and up/down every staircase ... soloing; most of it with his guitar behind his head. We had aisle seats so he was close enough to touch. He stole the show. Nuno's solo set was acoustic. He was very interactive with the crowd and very talkative. Super nice guy. And man, did he put on a clinic. The show culminated with all of them coming out and doing an instrumental version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Fantastic. Was a great show and we will see it again if they come around. Highly recommend.

Yep. Crap.

I used to tolerate it. Now I can't even do that after hearing it a couple times during the season, lol!

I agree with both of you on all accounts. I don't hear ANY similarities as each band evolved. It's like comparing apples to kumquats. I am still a Jack White fan, though. I think the guy is a genius. But I do agree that this was an attention grab.

I don't know anyone who likes that song .. including me and I'm a huge Beatles/Macca fan! It's horrible!

"People want The Rolling Stones to be cool, dirty, raucous. They don’t want to understand that The Rolling Stones were chasing a hit constantly and feeding off whatever the hippest thing was, copying whatever The Beatles did last week," he explained. “That disrupts the fantasy. And the fantasy’s amazing – I have indulged many times with those kinds of bands. That’s not an insult. That’s them being smart and figuring out a way to keep a train moving.” https://www.iheart.com/content/2022-04-10-jack-white-accuses-the-rolling-stones-of-copying-the-beatles/?mid=835631&rid=99009473&sc=email&pname=newsletter&cid=NATIONAL&keyid=National iHeart Daily Classic Rock [Combo #2]&campid=headline2_readmore @Rico
