I love the Beatles and the Stones, though I give the Stones a slight nod. The Beatles advantage as songwriters comes, in part from the fact that they started writing earlier, and their history as a band was very short, in comparison to the Stones. They are very different kinds of bands. I won't argue that Jagger-Richards are better songwriters than Lennon-McCartney, but I would argue that Lennon-McCartney never wrote anything as inspired as "Gimmie Shelter" or "Monkey Man". I'd put the Stones output from Beggars Banquet- Goat Head Soup up against the Beatles best.

Neil Young by a mile...

Thank you. Technical proficiency and great rock and roll do not go hand in hand.

Why Is Our Government Putting People In Cages?

He says as the president of the USA tweets "No wall, no kids". -

Truly miserable human beings. -
Are you old enough to remember the Sabres Jim Schoenfiled putting out a rock and roll record? He did all covers...a bunch of Beatles songs...Hey Bulldog was one of them....can't find it on Youtube, but just to give you an idea:

I love "Yellow Submarine", but in truth, at 53, I could live the rest of my life and never hear it again..I'd be okay with that.

I love all of them, but I went with "Beatles For Sale". I could have gone with "Help". I love those records because they are half-way between the jangly-pop of the early records, and the more experimental, sophisticated sounds that were to come. There is a kind of dark undertone to them...I always love that friction in music. "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" is one of my favorite Bealtes songs...one that many people forget about. Pop--melancholy... of course, growing up with the American versions of the Beatles albums, it would be "Beatles '65", "Beatles VI" and "Help!" that represent my favorite period of Beatles music. But, love all the other periods too!

Is your Dad the reason you’re a Bills fan?
Buftex replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In an indirect way, yes. My dad and I didn't get along great when I was a kid...and he always pretty much hated the Bills. Perhaps, as a form of rebellion, my brother and I loved them. My dad was one of those who always said "Ralph Wilson is a carpet-bagger", "OJ is a bum"... the more he hated them, the more we liked them. My dad was a police officer, and knew a lot of unsavory things about some Bills players. To his credit, he never told us a lot of the stories, until we were much older. He was hardly shocked that OJ would be accused of spousal abuse, or murder. He was never much of a huge footballl fan, college basketball was his favorite sport. My brother (8 years older than me) remembers that he was a Packers fan in the 60s...but never the Bills. He changed his tune a little, during the 90's Super Bowl era, because most of his VFW buddies were Bills fans, and they got sick of here him dog them...he wanted to be one of the gang. And, they were winning. The fact that his old buddy Ted Marciaborda (they were college friends at St Bonaventure) was hired by Marv Levy pleased him too. Dad really liked Marv a lot. In some ways, my father reminds me a little of Marv. My dad passed away a about 4 years ago. We got along great when he got older. He mellowed out a little. The last fathers day that he was around, I got him a Ted Marciabroda ""rookie" card. It was autographed....Chicago Cardinals! -
Sad day. Tim Graham out at Buffalo News

The trend is more syndicated content. -
What does the phrase "The Good Old Days" mean to you?
Buftex replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall Archives
Pretty much anything before November 2016. -
I find it more depressing than funny, but I know what you mean.

I hope the kid works out. The way his critics bash him, you would think he was a total off the field jerk or something. I was listening to a Fantasy Football podcast, and Adam Rank (from NFL Network) was really criticizing Allen too. It seemed kind of over the top. He said "Josh Allen is the second coming of Donovan McNabb". He meant it as an insult. I was thought to myself, if he is the second coming of Donovan McNabb, than he won't be the bust that so many of these jagoffs are predicting.

Anyone collect old Bills highlight/yearbook videos? Trade?
Buftex replied to Buftex's topic in Bills Tickets and Gear
Figured I'd give it another try. -

But your completely full of **** on this topic. So why would I listen to you? If you just came out and said, "we are all hypocrites" your arguments would have more credibility. -

Buftex replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
So funny how things like this are cut and dry, yet conservatives (trumpers) will defend a president who says ****ty things on a daily basis, saying "don't pay attention to what he says, pay attention to what he is doing". Apparently, you can have it both ways. -

Buftex replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I wasn't defending Sam B, just explaining the difference in her comment, and what Roseanne said. One was making a political point, the other just making an ignorant joke. The offense in B's comment came from the word she used, not the point she was making. -

Uh, yes. But, I wouldn't expect you to see the difference. -

Buftex replied to Teddy KGB's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
I would only argue, as crude or as classless as Bees language may have been, she was making a relevant point, which you can agree or disagree with. The presidents daughter is a prominent figure in his administration, and has proven to be continually ineffective at adding a voice to the administration, which is very evident that her father continually talks, and tries to implement policies that are in direct opposition to her supposed positions. (But, hell, he even does that to himself!) So, to say she is "feckless" for the point she was making, is appropriate. It would have been better to leave out the "c" word... Roseanne was just making a racist comment, which has no merit at all. You know (I hope) that the Muslim Brotherhood and Planet of the Apes did not have a baby...she was trying to imply that Valerie Jarrett was the offspring of terrorist and apes. She should have been condemned for that ignorance. -

Someone should remind the president of that. It is his distraction/talking point for this week, and football isn't even in season right now.
