And there it is. Thanks for being the first person to bring race into this Mike. You self-serving piece of s***.

...what was somebody saying about "political agenda's"? Mr. Moore...your back is calling...it seems you have been forgetting to pat it for a few months. The man can't just turn around and DO SOMETHING WITHOUT CALLING THE SPOTLIGHT, CAN HE???

I'm terrible at haggling, but my wife is REALLY good. She usually leaves the salesman with the tail between their legs.

Plus you have to remember that one bad guy with a gun can bring a lot more pain to people than a group of people doing good. Now get 20 REAL bad guys with guns, and lets just say machine guns, and you have a TON of trouble going on down there, and all indications point to it being more than 20 people. So figure 100 people with guns, running around with anarchy going, raping and pillaging, and that is a REAL bad time.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 10:46 AM) Perhaps, but I didn't like either of those songs. The more "urban" they got, the less I liked them. Give me the 3 minute blasts of guitars and spitting lyrics and I'm fine. Agreed. Once the guitars faded, so did they, IMO. Plus, I am not a ska or reggae fan at all, so the touches of that didn't help either.

Yeah, interesting how this seems to be having the opposite effect on Bush's popularity than what 9/11 did for it at first. Everybody appluaded the way he handled that. This time, I am pretty sure the country is all set for his head on a stake.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 10:26 AM) It's not a good answer.. but how do you plan for the unknown...? But they have known that if they got hit head-on with a bad hurricane that they would be in SERIOUS trouble.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 10:03 AM) Exactly, there are only 4 real rock bands and everyone else has just been ripping them off chord for chord for all these years, right KG? wink-wink. You betcha! Barry Manilow Neil Diamond ABBA and the friggin' FACES!!!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 09:59 AM) Yeah 15 hours on a flight from LA to Australia, wouldn't really recommend it. And what no Wiggles in your list (or is it Jim who loves them, I always get confused between you 2)? No, no, I am The Wiggles fan. But I see them as more of a World Wide domination now, and gift. AC/DC has gone back to being a local band. Seriously, they just slipped my mind. But yeah, they definitley get the Aussie thing, especially since a second doesn't really go by that they aren't flying the countries flag during the show. Those guys REALLY love your land. Oh heck, I also have to make mention to The Living End. Great band, and nice updating of Rockabilly they do. Plus, considering how hard it is to get Gretsch guitars in your land, and especially the White Falcon's, those guys deserve MASS kudos.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) I am oh so greatful of the Clash, without them I don't know what I would do. They've been a huge influence on a few bands that I hold dear. Really??? Like who???

When I think of Australia I think of: An Aborigine (sic?) in a loin cloth telling me a bat tastes like chicken. Paul Hogan spinning a weird thing on a rope over his head. AC/DC Lots of sand. And people who could probably easily kick my ass...and everybody looks and sounds like Donk. Yeah, music and Crocodile Dundee (both 1 and 2...but mainly 2) are all I think of. My wife REALLY wants to go their someday though. I usually say "but that's all the way on the other side of the world". It is though...ya know?

OOooo: Reverend C. Gates OH NO!!! THIS IS IT!!! Trick Magnet C. Flava

Ooops, almost missed The Clash lyric game! For that, I lay down the second best Clash song ever recorded: Let me tell you ’bout wayne and his deals of Cocaine A little more every day Holding for a friend till the band do well Then the d.e.a. locked him away Clang clang, go the jail guitar doors Bang bang, go the boots on the floor Cry cry, for your lonely mother’s son Clang clang, go the jail guitar doors An’ I’ll tell you ’bout pete, didn’t want no fame Gave all his money away Well there’s something wrong, it’ll be good for you, son And so they certified him insane And then there’s keith, waiting for trial Twenty-five thousand bail If he goes down you won’t hear his sound But his friends carry on anyway f*** ’em! Jail guitar doors 54/46 was my number Jail guitar doors Right now someone else has that number Not super politcal, but that song just ROCKS! Then there is their best, and quite possibly the greatest song ever recorded: Say you stand by your man Tell me something I don't understand You said you love me and that's a fact Then you left me, said you felt trapped Well some things you can explain away But my heartache's in me till this day [Chorus:] Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way All the times When we were close I'll remember these things the most I see all my dreams come tumbling down I won't be happy without you around So all alone I keep the wolves at bay There is only one thing that I can say [Chorus] You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me Did you stand by me No, not at all Now I got a job But it don't pay I need new clothes I need somewhere to stay But without all these things I can do But without your love I won't make it through But you don't understand my point of view I suppose there's nothing I can do [Chorus] You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me? Did you stand by me Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 02:47 PM) What I don't get is that it was the oil refineries affected. It takes around 3 years to turn oil into gas, yet the gas rise is happening now. We don't have a gas shortage right now, yet every company increased its prices anyway. I guess we should be happy we don't live in Georgia, where it's over 6 dollars. Exactly. They raised the prices because most of the country probably doesn't understand the way things work. War in the Mid East? Obviously they will raise the prices. Heck...we can't get the oil because of the evil terrorists. Hurricane? Obviously we can't get the oil and everything has been ruined. Now we have to make you pay.

QUOTE(whitesoxin' @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 01:57 PM) There's this thing called Hurricane Katrina. I know it sucks for us with this price, but at least our homes and cities aren't destroyed. Well, there is also this thing called cancer, there is also a thing called AIDS, there is also a thing called murder...I can keep going. I understand there is suffering in this world, but I am not about to sit here and say "hey...keep f***ing me over as long as my house is still where I left it". There is always somebody worse off, unless they just died. And even then, they aren't suffering anymore like somebody battling cancer. You can always point and say "atleast that isn't me". It's called reality, and whatever your reality is, is what is effecting you at that moment. I am not in New Orleans, so I can b**** about the gas prices getting so bad that I can't drive to work each week without it costing me 70 friggin' dollars.

Yesterday I filled up for $2.89 a gallon. My wife just drove past the same station and told me it is now $3.89!!! This is f***ing criminal!!! How can they jack up the prices that f***ing fast???

Maybe not, but the series before the break was bad, we came back and handled the Indians well, and it has been pretty bad since. The thing is, we haven't looked like a dominating team since then. No matter what the record shows, what is scary is the play on the field, and it has not been good. It sure as heck doesn't look like a WS contending team.

I don't see Mariotti as being a bandwagon jumper right now. I see him now as reporting the truth about what is happening to this team. He may be wrong about moves to have been made, but you can't deny a slide that has been happening since the All-Star break. Heck, right before the break we got our asses kicked.

Hahahahaha!!! It needs work for sure! I switched my station and put in "Marillion". Marillion is a Progressive Rock band along the lines of Genesis, Yes and all those other great Prog bands. So what do we get as a second song??? Aldo Nova - Fantasy!!! LOL!!! Granted, my ears perked up and I went "Ooo, I haven't heard this in YEARS"! But there is a VERY good reason it has been years. It's confused. It gave me another Marillion song for number 3. Same album as the first song. They must only have 1 Marillion album. Maybe I'll send them some MP3's.

Hey...cool! Song three: The Baby's "Head First". You won't get that on any friggin' classic rock station! Love The Baby's.

QUOTE(Spiff @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 11:16 AM) only 10 hours free though Yeah, but if this thing is as great as it is seemingly going to be, then the subscription price is not too bad. I entered in "Hanoi Rocks" and it came up with nothing. So I went with "Faces" and ended up with The Doors being the second song. I hate the f***ing Doors. I guess it thinks I like "Oldies" and not straight up RnR. I'll see what song three is.

Dammit Jim, give him one of your Sparking Goji's.

Wow...so you really did get fired??? Now I feel bad...

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 1, 2005 -> 10:39 AM) Serious?!? I thought you we're the boss? His wife called him.
