That must be why we keep catching the #3 man over and over and... As to why you won't here much about the mixup, this article is interesting as well: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ucru/blackandwhiteandfullofcrap

Have you actually heard the Stones in recent years, or is your comment based on their (admittedly meager) recording output? IMO, they still put on a great live show. The radio simulcast of their 2003 SARS-stock concert in Toronto was amazingly good...not at all "Las Vegas Lounge Act." BTW, I'd pay $500 bucks in a heartbeat to see Floyd if Gilmour ever decided to tour again. Maybe even more if he could set aside his differences with Waters. They're the one major band I never saw live and I'll always kick myself for not going to one of their 1994 shows in Toronto.

They're set to play Toronto on September 24th and will probably play a club show (or two) if they reherse there, as they usually do. $50 bucks to see them in a small club would be the greatest value of all time: "The previous three times the Stones rehearsed for a tour in Toronto, they played a surprise club gig just prior to hitting the road -- on Aug. 16, 2002, at Palais Royale on the lakefront, on Sept. 4, 1997, at the Horseshoe, and on July 19, 1994, at RPM (now the Kool Haus)." http://jam.canoe.ca/Music/2005/05/10/1033409.html

Jagger Struts His Stuff to Announce Stones Tour New York Times By STEPHANIE ROSENBLOOM Published: May 10, 2005 The Rolling Stones will kick off a world tour this summer, the band announced today at a news conference that began fittingly with a booming, heart-thumping performance of "Start Me Up." "In the first performance of their 2005 tour, please welcome the Rolling Stones," a voice announced today at Lincoln Center in Manhattan, as a white curtain dappled with the rock band's signature red tongue logos dropped to the ground and Mick Jagger - clad in a pale blue blazer, pink belt and dark shades - began to sing and gyrate to screams and applause. The tour, still to be named, will begin in Boston, at Fenway Park, on Aug. 21. One New York-area show was announced, for Sept. 15, at Giants Stadium. The group's tour manager said the band would perform throughout the United States and Canada from August through December, when it will take a break. The tour starts up again in January, making stops in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Buenos Aires and other cities in South America. From there, the band plans to move on to Japan and China before taking another break in May. The European leg of the tour begins in June 2006. That he is a sexagenarian didn't seem to faze Mr. Jagger's fans on nearby rooftops and around the stage as they pumped their fists in the air and watched the band perform, somewhat surprisingly, below the facade of "The Julliard School." True to form, Mr. Jagger, 61, waved his hands in the air and jumped up and down, showing off his still rail-thin stomach. "I'll never stop, never stop, never stop," he sang, strutting back and forth. The band also played a new song called "Oh No, Not You Again" and the classic hit "Brown Sugar." A new CD, to be released by Virgin Records in conjunction with the tour, has yet to be completed or named, though Mr. Jagger called the album "85 percent done." "How was that for a first show?" the band's tour manager shouted to the crowd when the set at Lincoln Center concluded. It is the first time that the Rolling Stones have performed at a press event since 1975, when the band sang "Brown Sugar" on top of a flatbed truck as it rode down Fifth Avenue. Tickets for the tour go on sale on May 14 for Boston, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Miami, Charlotte, and Calgary. Additional cities and dates have yet to be announced. American Express card members can get tickets for the Boston show as early as today. Ticket prices average $99 for stadium shows and $110 for arenas. All tickets for theater and club shows will be $50. More information is available on the band's official Web site, RollingStones.com. "We hope it's going to be a wonderful summer of rock and roll," Mr. Jagger said. When asked if this tour would be the band's last, Mr. Jagger responded, "We certainly don't announce tours as the last tour," adding that he felt it was unfair to fans to do so. "We never think about it," the ageless rocker said. "We take each tour as it comes."

Not to pick on you, but I've never understood this kind of reasoning. Usually it comes down to "if I can't afford it, it must be wrong" kind of logic. Whether it's a Stones' show, the Superbowl or any high-profile event where demand exceeds supply, ticket prices reflect what the market will bear.

Here's the view from row 10...doesn't look like a higher view is available at the Bills website: http://www.buffalobills.com/photos/133a.jpg

Supply and demand, baby! Those seats will be snapped up in the blink of an eye by big city fans with mucho disposable $$$. Why begrudge bands that have the sales power to capitalize on it?

Maybe we could have him convert to left OT...we'll probably still be searching for someone to replace JJ by then!

Sounds from this like it's a complete tear, although they're pretty upbeat about it: http://espn.go.com/nfl/clayton/qhits.htm May 2, 2005 Buffalo draft pick needs ACL surgery Bills third-round choice Kevin Everett will undergo ACL surgery Wednesday to repair a knee he injured in mini-camp last Friday, his agent, Brian Overstreet, said. Everett is hopeful of being able to play this season, but Overstreet said Everett will be out until September or October. "The good news is that it's a perfectly clean tear and it involved only one ligament," Overstreet said. "He could be back this year. Right now, we have to get him the surgery and get him back." The Bills can put Everett on the physically-unable-to-perform list at the start of training camp, giving them the option of bringing him back by October without eating up a roster spot in the cutdown to 53 players. Everett hurt the knee when he jammed it into the turf on a non-contact play. The Bills might look to add a veteran such as Marcellus Rivers or Fred Baxter before camp.

Can't wait to hear the post-game comments on this one...

Amerks had a 5-minute PP to end the 3rd period...and got no shots on goal. Amazing!

Maybe they do in China: http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_13884...u=news.quirkies

http://www.ananova.com/entertainment/story...rtainment.music Ozzy has Parkin Syndrome Ozzy Osbourne has been diagnosed with Parkin Syndrome. The singer will now have to take daily medication for the rest of his life to combat the involuntary tremors associated with the condition. The former Black Sabbath star was given the all-clear for Parkinson's disease in 2003, after he complained his tremors were "practically destroying his life". Ozzy says he presumed his body shakes were a result of a lifetime of drug abuse, until doctors told him he has inherited the condition from his relatives reports IMDb.com. He said: "I'd always assumed it was the booze and stuff. Now I've found it all stems from the family. It's called Parkin but it's not Parkinson's. Anything to do with the central nervous system has the word Parkin in it. "A doctor in Los Angeles tried to tell me I had multiple sclerosis. And I believed him until I had a second opinion. When I told my sisters she said, 'Not you as well? Mum had that and Auntie Elsie and your grandma.' I'm like, 'Thanks for f**king telling me'. Me walking around thinking I've got some drug paralysis."

If this tour's in support of a new album, they'll want to play it tight and avoid any self-parody. Any ideas if the PC will be webcast?

I have no words to describe this: http://www.marininstitute.org/about_us/pre...ases_072804.htm Press Release For Immediate Release July 28, 2004 Contact: Amon Rappaport/Laurie Leiber (415) 456-5692 Molson Coors Merger Unites Two Irresponsible Brewers National Organizations Call for End to Ads Designed to Trick Women into Bed SAN RAFAEL, CA-The dirty laundry behind the Molson Coors merger is a record of irresponsible advertising designed to appeal to underage youth and trick women into bed, according to the Marin Institute and Dads and Daughters. The two national advocacy organizations today called for an end to the Molson "Friends" ad campaign that defines "friends" as casual sex partners and gives guys "tools" to help seduce women. [see sample ads at link below] http://www.marininstitute.org/take_action/..._molson.htm#ads The "Friends" campaign includes fake business cards, wallet photos and stickers to help men seem more successful and sensitive. One ad tells guys: "buy some hottie a Molson" and use a fake photo of your puppy to "start a conversation that really goes somewhere." "We want to know if the leaders of Molson Coors have put their daughters' faces in the picture here," said Joe Kelly, president of Dads and Daughters. "Do they want their daughters lied to, alcoholically lubricated, and otherwise manipulated into having sex with strangers? If the answer is no, as it should be, then Molson Coors has no business selling this message to anyone else's daughters and sons." The "Friends" campaign is currently running on the Web (www.molsonusa.com/tools) and in several young men's magazines (FHM, Stuff). Related billboard ads have already established that the difference between friends and "friends" is sex. "Molson and Coors are already more than friends-they've been marketing and distribution partners for six years," said Amon Rappaport, Marin Institute's communications director. "As they merge, Molson Coors should leave behind irresponsible advertising like the "Friends" campaign that clearly violates several provisions of the Beer Institute Advertising and Marketing Code." According to the Code, advertising and marketing should "portray beer in a responsible manner" and use "good taste," but "Friends" fails on both accounts by suggesting that men should use Molson beer and "tools" to deceive women. The Code also prohibits suggestions of ".promiscuity, or any other amorous activity as a result of consuming beer." "There is no doubt that the ultimate goal of the deceptive strategies in Molson's ads is getting one of the so-called 'sexy gals' into bed," said Kelly. "When conservative estimates suggest that 25 percent of our daughters have experienced sexual assault, and approximately one-half of those cases involve alcohol, it is irresponsible for any beer company to promote this dangerous connection." "Coors Brewing Company likewise has a history of irresponsible advertising, particularly in targeting underage youth," said Rappaport. Coors Light and the Coors Twins spokesmodels appeared in the PG-13 Scary Movie 3 last Halloween, and the company co-promoted its connection to the teen-targeted film in a national advertising campaign. "Molson and Coors are right when they publicize their union as a 'merger of equals'-both are equally guilty of irresponsible advertising," said Rappaport. The Marin Institute and Dads and Daughters are calling for Molson Coors to withdraw the "Friends" campaign, issue an apology, and promise to comply with the Coors Advertising Complaint Evaluation process and the Beer Institute Advertising and Marketing Code in the future. The advocacy groups have launched an action campaign at www.MarinInstitute.org. Molson's Response: http://www.marininstitute.org/take_action/...on_response.htm

More on the Stones' tour announcement: http://www.chartattack.com/damn/2005/05/0409.cfm Rolling Stones May Be On Their Way Around The World Wednesday May 04, 2005 @ 02:00 PM By: ChartAttack.com Staff Though not set in stone, Canada may once again roll out the red carpet for Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ron, as speculation about another Rolling Stones world tour hits New York. On Tuesday, select members of the media received a scant invitation from entertainment PR giants Rogers and Cowan. The Toronto Sun reports the invite stated only, "The Rolling Stones, May 10, 12:30 PM, NYC." Though Rogers and Cowan refused to comment further, many believe the invitation was a hint that the Stones will be in New York on May 10 to announce the details of their latest world tour. It's no secret that The Stones love the T-Dot. Besides going out of their way to come to Toronto for the SARS Relief Concert in July 2003, the group have been to Ontario's capital three times to rehearse before world tours. Their last pre-tour jaunt to the Great White North was in the summer of 2002 when the band turned the Masonic Temple into their personal practice pad. The Stones even played an unannounced concert at the Palais Royale during that time. There's no word yet if in fact the foursome will practice in Toronto, but here's hoping. The Sun also reports the Stones are working on a new studio album, currently slated for a summer release.

We'll, there's always some doubt about Keith! http://www.cbc.ca/news/photogalleries/toro...ocks/gfx/57.jpg Definitely worth seeing, though. They put on a great show in July 2003 at the Toronto "SARS-stock" concert. Here's the set list they performed: http://www.iorr.org/tour03/toronto.htm

Cool. One less poster to follow.

Yep...let's call Roscoe a bust 'cause he dropped a pass in a rain storm that was caught on a video clip that you happended to see. Right. LOL!

TD designated May to be "OT Month" on TSW!

That was a great clip. Seeing the news about Thuman going on the Wall this morning made me think about how great it would've been to this kind of video record of the huddle, sideline and coaching box for all the Bills' memorable games during the SB years...I'll bet those were some terrific stories, too. Anyway, I found this line in the follow-up article you posted to be especially funny: "During the 49ers' search for a new coach, owner John York called Sports Illustrated writer Peter King to pick his brain about Nolan. " That tells me everything I need to know about why this York character is going to take the mantel of "stupidest NFL owner" away from the Bidwell family, if he hasn't done so already. Asking Peter King for advice? ROTFALMAO! Hiring your coach by watching reality TV...what a concept!
