Has nobody tried this one yet? How about Gene Autry? I'm going for the Disney/Anaheim connection here.

Dang, good question. London? I do know that it was during this period when Waters got so disenchanted with the "senseless ritual" of live-performing what was becoming some very personal music for fans that were too busy drinking beer and partying to appreciate it. He got to thinking that he'd like to put up a wall between the band and the audience, and voila, the beginning of the next project. ... and now you know the rest of the story. OK, here's an easy one. Who is Shine On You Crazy Diamond (all 10 parts) written about/for?

Guilty as charged in not getting all fired up to defend against the allegations of treason and the like from the righties on the board. No energy for it, frankly. Thankfully, I don't remember Truman first hand...

Meddle came out in 1971 I think, so it would have predated punk. The wall came out in late 1979 so it would have been during the 2nd wave of Brit Punk. I think the answer is probably "Animals," because it is closest to Johnny Rotten's "I hate Pink Floyd" quotes and t-shirts. There is a lot less synth on this compared to the previous album (Wish You Were Here), although still more than on The Wall. That is probably actually more related to the fact that Rick Wright was really not feeling very creative or into the sessions at the time - he was going through a divorce and was tired of the megalomaniac bulls*** from the ever more controlling Roger Waters. Animals was definately the beginning of the end of PF performing as a cohesive unit.

Cy Young - that is a good one. A long career and no 5 man rotation back in the day can do that to you.

f*** Yeah, now you're talking!!!

Dang, all y'alls dumb things are just ordinary dumb, while mine was nearly lethal. 10th grade, I'm on a fishing trip in Ontario with my Dad and younger brother and two or three other fathers and sons. All the kids got to sleep in one cabin and all the Dads got stayed in another, drinking. playing cards and doing the things dads don't get to do unless they're away from their wives on fishing trips. The mosquitoes were brutal, and so we had those green mosquito coils all over the cabin. When we went to sleep I left a mosquito coil burning, hanging on a nail above the (very flamable) bed I was in. It nevver occurred to me the coil would burn down to the nail and then FALL OFF ONTO THE BED. It did. Fortunately one of the kids was asthmatic and he woke up as smoke from the smoldering mattress filled the cabin. He woke me and everyone else up and half-asleep I followed him as he got a pot of water, walked back to my bed and put out the burning mattress. The cabin didn't burn down and I didn't kill anybody. I still shudder every time I ponder that crowning achievement of stupidity. OK, top that. (Oh, and Asthmatics Rock! )

The 'bounced chack' version is a good one, but not the correct one. Here's the real story from an AAR Press Statement. And here's the body of that text: The Sludge Report After just two weeks on the air, Air America Radio, the fledgling liberal talk-radio network featuring Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, and that really loud woman from Florida, appears to have encountered serious cash-flow problems. Stop the presses!!! There’s nothing more exciting than half a story from a third hand source!!!! Insiders tell SLUDGE, that the reason the network was pulled off the air this morning in Chicago and Los Angeles, the network's second- and third-largest markets, was because, the owner of both stations, Arthur Liu of Multicultural Broadcasting, said, the network bounced a check and owes him more than $1 million! The run-on sentence, tortured grammar and the exclamation point clearly means it’s true!! Only it isn’t. Normally we’d let this go because “habitual liars” like Drudge are laughable, and ridicule is our business. But Arthur Liu --- not funny. He lied to us, he ripped us off and now we’re chasing him down with a pipe wrench. It’s a metaphor. Here’s what really happened: This Liu-ser was ripping off our boss Evan Cohen big time (he can’t do that, that’s our job). Evan found out about it and he stopped payment on a check to keep Liu-cifer from ripping him off even more. You can touch Evan for the occasional meal or drinks but a million bucks is crossing the line. And if we ever get low on cash, we can always call Barbra Streisand. Or any of the Baldwins. Except Stephen. So we got screwed, Liu’d, and tattooed. How Liu can you get? In Liu of payment. Liu’d and lascivious behavior. These write themselves. What we’re getting at is that we hate him. So now everyone’s saying we’re going down the dumper in Chicago and Los Angeles, but what they don’t tell you is that we’re still on in Portland. And we OWN Portland. And let’s not forget Riverside and Plattsburgh. And New York. And streaming on the internet. And XM. And Sirius. Actually we’re fine. So cool your jets. Air America Radio isn’t dead, we’re in court and we’re going to slam Liu’s head in a car door. Another metaphor. We hope to be back on the air tomorrow or the next day in those markets. In the meantime, why don’t you give Arthur a call at (212)966-1059, or check out his website www.mrbi.net Arthur Liu, I wouldn’t show your face around here. Or Riverside. Or Plattsburgh. DEVELOPING……

Be happy you were not one of many waiting in line while the reported few thousand for sale turned into a couple hundred and everyone else was sent on their way... From what I had heard during the last stage of rennovations, any kind of paint or surfacing over the current seats won't work because it won't bond to the plastic. So no way it'll happen during a long road trip. It will happen as part of the last phase of rennovations next winter, if it happens at all.

Yeah, that's her. A tall drink of water that one.

What a crazy game.

SOX WIN!! WAY JOE JOE!! SCREW KOCH!!

C'mon, walk him...

Vital autonomic regulatory centers, baby... that's what I'm talking about. Heartbeats and parasympathetic good vibrations.

An offensive strategy is the best strategy for what? For pushing everyone else in the world who thinks America is an arrogant, imperialistic country to figure out how to build and use one of those remote-controlled robo-bombs you're talking about? Ad if "securing civil liberties for the majority of Americans" is the goal, I'd say it falls woefully short. Suggesting that America would be a BETTER place if we started conducting secret police activities like the KGB is also unsettling. Though possibly effective, their fear- and suspicion-based methods for "maintaining order and control" are not something I would ever hope to see here, and not something I would stick around for. Is this stuff out of a page of the PNAC manual? It's a scary 'Brave New World' you have in mind.

spleen: Keira Knightly 10th cranial nerve: Jessica Alba hypothalamus: That British chick from "Serendipity" uvula: Alyssa Milano sabaceous glands: Pamela Anderson I think that covers all the important parts...

Yeah, the holiday/weekend release of unsavory legislation or news damaging to the Administration is a baby Bush forte. The guy is some piece of work. Oh, if only someone would have given them that ol' magic bullet AND flight information AND a complete list of targets AND told Bush that a briefing titled 'Bin Laden determined to strike in US' may have SOMETHING to do with bin Laden attacking the US AND.... AND... AND... Bush Backers are right about one thing - 9-11 is the defining moment of this Non-President's Non-Presidency. And not in a good way.

Some vocabulary there, Buddy!

It does seem like it -- now Arow K's... ach!

Frank's gonna break out in the next couple games... maybe he's saving it for the homestand.

Not liking Bubba crosbt today...

Way, Jose! Happy Easter, All!

s***, It's supposed to be your anthem then. I used to sell hotdogs in one of them carts at Buckingham foiuntain and North Ave. Beach back in high school, and a bunch of my co-workers were from around Downer's Grove. They're the ones that learned me the song. Apparently Downtown Downers Grove had some exceptional shopping in the early to mid 80s?

F'sure. It's a good time to get the Yanks series' out of the way.

Fortunately the seasoned Yankees fans behind first base are still highly alert, as a holdover from the Knobloch days. Talk about fan endangerment...
