  1. it's always been that way read The Education of Henry Adams or anything H.L. Mencken gave us...
  2. polygraphs.... as Attorney Lionel Hutz told the judge, "that's a ummmmm..... kind of evidence...."
  3. it was never good policy to beat up on damaged soldiers for the "free liberal" sides Patton had a high-pitched squeaky voice in normal conversation, that would have made the movie a little different.
  4. wow.... at the cottage of my youth in the 1970s, a Russian emigrant was my friend and his grandpa sat quietly in a rocking chair on the sunporch all day long. on the mantle was photos of him in uniform, a USSR tank commander, hi-lited at freaking Kursk what i would ask him today if he were still around, starting with how the heck he wound up summering on Lake Simcoe.....
  5. parents had the usual album collection Ramsay Lewis Trio "The In Crowd" Bridge over Troubled Water Early Beatles (CANADIAN edition called Twist and Shout) Al Hirt - Honey in the Horn Getz/Gilberto - Girl from i Sandpipers Greatest Hits James Last non-stop dance party volume 78 and stuff like that when i was 6 Herb was definitely in that stack...
  6. oh give me a freaking break..... this kind of rampant grime and graft and payola let easy listening stay on the top of the charts resulting in Playboy's music critic lambasting The White Album for 30 forgettable tunes and praising Sergio Mendes Brasil '68... 30 forgettable tunes..... for anyone who was under 80 years old in 1969...
  7. they think they are the reincarnation of Pfeiffer or something that urbane and lame from the days when there was no competition at all to speak of...
  8. arrived with 2 $1 Canadian dollar bills and an address in pencil, hoping they'd take me in and give me a job in constuction then i could get settled and they'd send me a 14-year old neighbourhood girl to marry, never met her (this is the story of a few people form the old country, they did just fine, eventually)
  9. and they hang 140 on the Bills?
  10. people..... don't go on Skype so she can see you totally zoning out through the weather, illnesses of 80-year olds you never met.... yadda yadda yadda
  11. know the Beatles off the top of the charts, what a total crock... and then he could control The Carpenter's rise and fall
  12. he is fine until sentenced or his accomplishments on the field tail off considerably
  13. good gig though, through the record label you own, pump out trumpet music and with payola make a tidy fortune off it
  14. you came up with an INSTANT solving of inflation i guess i should have bowed before your genius this is all a big joke, nobody cares about helping people who are terminally unemployable and living on a pittance for income....
  15. passive in the sense that he was a nice man and went along with what the Dems told him, Frum can't tell you enough how much he admires this
  16. the idiot-childs will be welcome as long as they are putting up the big performances manny being manny becomes never heard of manny one day after the execs say he is finished talent-wise
  17. this was the era where men's magazines were proudly displayed in doctor/dentist offices and at the homes of liberal folk grateful i came of age before what the internet bought oh sorry, was the intention of this thread about an aesthetic appreciation?
  18. if John were alive in the early 2000s and saw how much $$$ was pulled in by comparable acts, they would for sure have been touring, all grudges instantly forgotten remember that Paul cynically entered his wife into the Empire as a contributor scooping 1/5 of Beatles royalties in the 1970s... the Red and Blue and Rarities fortunes were equal parts to her....
  19. yup, both in mid-70s in great health, the earliest natural death was 77 for the last 3 generations. better get along, they have another 20 years to go...
  20. -------------------------------- very shabby pickings for watching games this weekend, outside of one's personal rooting interest as for gambling i have no idea and don't wanna know
  21. the Alabama where it was located on CNN"s map?
  22. the idea is to get a job that: 1) ties you to a government or union and keeps you employed (not happy though) with a large pension at the end if you don't expire first or 2) the free market of possibly getting fired tomorrow but higher rewards for success (it's fun when people who make a lot of money realize they are really in the first category, then they start to complain..... like all the doctors i know...)
  23. many offers were made in the 70s, a few were very serious. getting them together in one room without something getting thrown down would have been amazing in the 70s
  24. has was it bad to get from the Raiders to the Pats in 3 minutes?
