Pretty much sums it up for me...

Agreed....

Exactly, you don't have to have a great voice to be a great singer...

Oh wow...I thought he was talking about the 1700-1800 NFL players that will have noting to do, during an extended off-season...idle hands and all.

I think Cher is possibly the most a-tonal singer ever, but has made a nice career for herself. Bad singer, at its' purist.

Your argument gets weaker with each post...I am a huge Johnny Cash fan, and honestly not a rap fan, at all, for the most part. But your notion that "anyone can do it" is laughable, and, you sound nuts...sorry dude. I can assure you, there are were those, back in the day, who would have questioned Cash's talent as well... so porn and rap are the "same kind of deal?" Brother...your true feelings are coming through loud and clear.

Speaking of which, saw this piece on Jagger working on a new "supergroup" project, fallout from Keith's book, it seems? http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/mick_forms_secret_supergroup_4QQss9y0ePUJ4bnbXV2sCJ Almost forgot about Keiths' "Mein Kampf" reference to Jaggers first solo album, "She's the Boss": I've never listened to [it] the whole way through. Who has? It's like Mein Kampf. Everybody had a copy, but nobody listened to it. I love those early albums too...they hadn't quite developed their own sound yet, and were copping more of a limey blues band thing...good stuff though...Brian Jones hay-day...for you, the Wolfmans' "Little Red Rooster" as done by the Stones, 1965: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiFnleuNULQ&feature=related

D Wright is the guy that made me finally stop pretending I knew a damn thing about how college guys were going to make it in the pros...according to me, at one time, Wright would have been taking the keys to the car, so to speak, from Nate Turner, taking hand offs from Trent Edwards...and Corey Moore, the best college lindbacker I ever saw, would be contemplating retirement this summer...

Yes, the difference seems to be that one is an old white man glorifying the murder of his woman, who, using your broadstroke argument, is gearing his music towards white people who love their guns more than they love their women. The other is a black street thug, singing about someone else murdering a police officer...the differences are black and white, why can't these people just see that? btw- what are "fantastical lyrics"? Did anyone actually listen to the song they are so outraged by? I am no rap fan, but I swear, I never once heard Common telling kids (or anyone else) to go out and kill police officers...you have a fantastical imagination... I wonder what any of you morons would think of Nick Cave...

You will make a great lawyer...

Too soon...

I wasn't referring to getting your credit checked when you apply for a job...I think that is BS too (and it is being outlawed in some states), I was talking about denying somebody a raise, because you don't like the way they spend their money...making the judgement that "I am better with money, so you can't have more"...but thanks for all the info...see the distinction?

I saw the thread title and thought it was going to be about Kareem Abdul Jabarr!

Yeah, I pretty much love everything from 1963-1981, after that, pretty spotty. I tried making a 90 minute "best of" mix-tape of the stuff after that, once upon a time...it was much more difficult than I anticipated...ended up being 45 minutes, mostly Keith's tracks from those albums.

You stole this joke from Steven Wright, didn't you?

Btw- somebody gave it a 3 star review based on the mis-information on the packaging. IIRC correctly, the corrected it on later pressings of the disc. Their review explains the mix-up: "The box shows six bonus features on the first disc, but four of them are not there (two were replaced with others). The program does not include the features on Jack Kemp, Cookie Gilchrist, Thurman Thomas or Jim Kelly! Instead, it includes Marv Levy, Bob Kalsu, Scott Norwood and Joe Delamielleure. Same problem with the second disc. It advertises a bonus feature on the 1963 Bills season, which is not there. Instead, it has an excellent America's Game program on the 1990 season. Being a fan of the 1960s NFL and the four-superbowl run the Bills made in the 1990s, I wished the as-advertised bonus features were actually on the discs." Either way, the two hour documentary on the history of the franchise is excellent, though a few small inaccuracies...my memeory is too bad these days to remember what they are, but I know there was 1 or 2 minor things.

You are hopeless...you are one of those idtiots who would change the vernacular of a Mark Twain novel to fit your sensibilites...it is a much bigger world out there...your interpritation of this is pretty ignorant...

It is pretty great...I got it when it came out, pre-ordred, and they had all the packages mis-marked, saying that there were some features in the two disc set, which were not accurate. Can't remember what was supposed to be on there at the moment, but it was replaced by the excellent NFL Network special "Missing Rings" or something like that...anyways, only $13.99 on Amazon...got one for my broter for 9.99 during Christmas. http://www.amazon.com/NFL-History-Artist-Not-Provided/dp/B0026OE2OS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305828793&sr=8-1

The GM of the Timberwolves "jokes" that the lottery is fixed...he might be hearing from Sterns office! http://www.nesn.com/2011/05/timberwolves-gm-david-kahn-implies-that-nba-draft-lottery-results-are-rigged.html

I have seen a number of people say things like this..."the players don't know how to manage their money, they shouldn't get any more" type stuff...that is so un-American! You would give the owners more money, so your tickets cost less, and leave the players out of the equation? How would you feel if you were up for a raise, but your employer said your raise was contigent upon doing a credit rating check? I love how so many don't want people !@#$ing with their money, but are more than happy to tell everyone else how they should spend theirs...

Yeah, that was pretty cool. Again though, doing a tribute to Solomon Burke...when Mick stays in his age group, he can still kick ass...just like to see a little less of the Don Knotts-like dancing, and more singing...if you watch "Ladies & Gentlmen..." it was before they had all the 20 mile stages...dancing in place I can take...running laps, and singing just looks silly...I just get the feeling that Keith and the rest of the guys would be very happy to tone down the stage shows, but Mick feels he has too much to prove, pushing 70. If you are going to keep doing it, try to have a little more dignity is all I am asking....I beat them up for it, but I still love this band...always will!

This is a road you don't want to go down on PPP!

Wow, to me, other than the River song (really awful) it was kind of cool to have a "new Stones" album that you could listen to all the way through...I am old school...put it on a cassette to play in the car, last summer, and it was on continuous loop...skipped the River POS. I really liked "Plunder My Soul", but "Aladdin Story" is the standout track. I had heard this bootlegged for years, with no lyrics. Just a really nice "classic rock wank out" by Mick Taylor. Let's face it, there weren't enough of those over the years...then Death In Vegas put it on one of their albums, and made up their own lyrics for it...I think this Stones take on it is pretty strong. I know what you mean about them breaking up. I wouldn't mind it at all, if the did, and just put out unreleased stuff...there is tons of it out there, and some really choice stuff that I have heard. Problem is, Jagger again. A few years ago, there was plans for a 4 CD box set to come out, 2 discs of "greatest hits" and 2 discs of unreleased stuff. I remember Keith saying he had gone through the vaults, and found lots of great stuff, he said it was kind of bitter-sweet, cuz even he knew they would never sound that good, or relevant, again. As Keith was working on culling down the tracks, Mick stepped in and put the kabosh on it, because, as Keith put it, "Mick can't handle not being cool with young people, and he has this need to be seen as their contemporaries...so, he will be damned if he is going to compete with himself" or something like that...Jagger also did not want to do anything that would make Allen Klein any more money...now that Klein is dead, maybe bygones will be bygones.We ended up getting a two disc set, "40 Licks" instead... Strangely though, on the "Stones In Exile" documentary, it sounds like it was Keith who wasn't all that jazzed about releasing the outtakes, while Mick was all for it. Keith said he had little to do with it, he just told Don Was, "don't !@#$ it up, Exile has already been done, and don't let Mick jack with it too much". So, maybe there has been a shift over the years...

In the case of this particular OP, it is a safe assumption. Most embarrassing work by a major act, since the Book of Genesis:
