Should Sarah Huckabee-Sanders be allowed to eat in peace?

I agree with you there. -
Should Sarah Huckabee-Sanders be allowed to eat in peace?

I thought one of the big victories of the Trump era was that businesses could refuse service to anyone they find objectionable...bakers don't have to make cakes for gay weddings, and restaurants don't have to serve mouthpieces to Trump bull ****. It may be classless, but that is the way Trumpkins want it....no? -
Me too...but my confession? I am still not convinced he got a fair shake. He was in Buffalo for 4 years, started 17 games...he played reasonably well starting that 2013 season (2-2 start), but got knocked out of his 5th start. He never really was given a real shot after that. His development was very stunted. As Kelly said, he may have never emerged as an upper echelon guy, but he might have developed into a competant starter. We all remember the disaster in London, but he actually played really well in that game, minus that disaterous 2 minute stretch. But, eh...old news.

It would be great if our two pro franchises could be trending upwards...its' been too long.

The new Kelly Willis record "Back Being Blue" is fantastic...one of the best sginers around.

It didn't work out, but I still think it was a good idea. Tyrod was playing extra crummy the previous couple of games...lets face it, the Bills goal at the time was to make the playoffs...they did.

Keith, and especially Ronnie, still do some pretty great guitar stuff. I guess I am just the eternal Stones aplogist. I'd pay a pretty hefty price to see them in a small venue...sure it will never happen though.

I like both of those records quite a bit. I think the song "Emotional Rescue" is one of the oddest things a band of their stature has ever done...it's such a pecualiar song...I like it. And the "second side" of Tatto You is killer. I think your a little harsh in your "Vegas Stones" assesment. Of course, I know what you mean, but they actually sound pretty great in their old age. Sure, I would rather hear them without the big band to fill out the sound, in a small club, but that is the upshot/downside of "stadium rock". I've seen them on every US tour since 1978, and while they may have put out better records early on in that time, I think they sound better live over the past 10 years or so, than they did back when they were "cooler". My only real quibble is that I wish, over the years, they would mix up the set list a little bit more. They have been doing a few more "deep cuts" over the last few tours, but not hearing an extended "showstopper" verion of Jumping Jack Flash or Satisfaction wouldn't be the worst thing.

As a vetran Trekkie, I wish they would just leave it alone. The re-boot movies have gotten progressively worse, and while I haven't seen all of the Discover episodes, I wont say it is bad, but it just feels like a different sci-fi franchise. For me, everything past Deep Space 9 has been mediccre to terrible.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you, but why do you think Mahomes is going to be awful? -
Which of Buffalo's 258 Points Were Your Favorite
Buftex replied to Gugny's topic in Off the Wall Archives
If my math is correct, it would be points 230 and 231...one if the most thrilling moments of the drought, in my opinion. -
I've always thought Richards awkward harmony vocals were one of the most under-appreciated aspects of the Stones best stuff.

And that right there is what makes you so repulsive. You know better, but you take glee. You are like a walking, talking, typing Chinese finger trap. Smug, hypocritical and so high and mighty. Keep telling everyone you genuinely can not stand Trump, but take every opportunity you can find to contort your ethiics to support his bull ****.

The Stones took a little longer to come into their own. Early on (pre-beggars Banquet) they were a rawer version of the Beatles, to some degree... but when they reached their artistic peak (68-73) the Stones were as much about the music, the groove, than they were about tradional pop songwriting. John and Paul wrote some of the greatest pop songs in the history of pop music, but they never wrote anything as soulful, as say, "Tumbling Dice". The Stones were english boys, but their vision was much more in American black music than in English pop. Like I said, love them both (and the Kinks and the Who), but my personal tastes lean a little more where the Stones went. Of course the Stones have been a lot longer, and cosequently, put out more marginal (some say bad) records than the Beatles, so their legacy is a bit more tarnished. Just imagine if the Beatles had stuck around...what would people have thought had McCartney brought "Ebony and Ivory" to the Beatles?

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.

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