ay dios mio.... that's why people get those thoughts in the first place.

latino teens, in a gang, up to no good. That's not a stereotype? And they're like acting it out in real time... I guess that's only funny to me...in a sad and sick way.

yeah, nothing like reinforcing the stereotypes yourself. I may have missed some sort of a punch line there, but I don't think assosiating a street gang with violent acts is stereotyping, especially when they were guilty of the acts. latin kings...latino teens...gangs...sharks...jets...crimes.... ahhhh, forget it.

they were in your friends house??? damn son, that sucks...sounds hilarious though.

I've got Gooden...who are you willing to let go of? rasheed wallace is nice. mike bibby and etan thomas would be acceptable too:)

apparently the shooter felt her got jipped by the lawyer in a law suit that had just let out....so you know...do like anyone would do...shoot the bastard

haha...yeah...sorry bout that. fixed

don't mess with this guy click on the video in the upper right hand corner. the guy's shooting at his lawyer like 2 feet away....DAMN. the best part is the cops tackling him like 2 minutes later.

I think Paul's and George's trip to India(I believe) had alot to do with their transformation. So I think we should credit Punjabi MC as the earliest influence of the Beatles. A general appology to those who posted earlier and I flipped on. I was at work and really needed to take it out on you guys. much healthier than actual people, right? so yeah :fyou me. And Texsox, I stated either here or in the Paul is a dad again thread that even the beatles had influences (like the pixies on Nirvana). Mainstream influences are what everyone here seem to be counting...so when I say Oasis, I get jumped on. Obviously not for their music, necessarily (although they are better musicians hands down), but I was simply saying their Mega popularity in the UK and moderate but short popularity, was a catalyst for the revitalization in the UK music scene. This is why you see bands as Radiohead (yes I know about creep, but they were destined to be a one hit wonder America side, without Oasis...) Travis, Coldplay, The Verve, etc...all owe Oasis a handshake for their ability to cross over to the US. however, they'll never find mega success...(except for U2, and now Coldplay seems to get the same treatment). You can owe that to the MTV worshipping, Ashanti/Ja Rule loving, corporate motherf***ers they call 14-22 year olds. Then again, I hate the fact that I saw Coldplay in '00 and now everyone loves them. oh well, either way I'm screwed. just wait... www.indiependency.com mmmmmmmmmm, sweet smelling.

I'm tired and ready to go the f*** home...so I'm going to avoid any direct response to the Oasis issue. y'all don't know the british scene obviously. I never mentioned what Oasis did recently, cos it's irrelevant. I said they opened up the "second British invasion" (see all the bands I listed). f*** all you f***ers....go listen to your Creed and Metallica yeah...and then they dropped out of oblivion, like the rest of british music before Oasis...AND THEN, RH came back AFTER Oasis blew the door right open... which brings me to... which is even easier for me....you're wrong. sigur Ros? they influenced who? the 12 people who bought their album? If you would have said Bjork, then maybe...cos she's why anyone even listens to Sigur Ros. good lord...I need to go home.

like I said, Oasis on a smaller scale, accomplished much of what the beatles did. ushered in a new sound, new influences. Thank God too...American Music pretty much sucked between '95-'00 edit: Aboz...Liam Gallager said that in reference to John's bigger than Jesus remark. Someone asked him if Oasis were going to be bigger than Jesus, like the beatles said they'd be (I know the misquote)...and he said they'd be bigger than the beatles.

If I were to pick out the female artist, I would say all roads lead back to Janis Joplin. There would be no Fiona Apple without Janis. laugh all you want, but Oasis opened a huge door for european artists back in '94-'95 And remember what the lead singer caused an uproar by saying? Oasis was going to be the next Beatles That may be one of the most ignorant quotes ever to come from the mouth of a human being... :fyou Oasis which part?? cos if you disagree with me, you obviously haven't heard bands like blur, the verve, radiohead, travis, f***ING COLDPLAY.... thanks for one-upping MY ignorant statement

didn't he say he had a girlfriend now?? priorities...PLEASE!!!?!?!

call me in January:) 70s here we come:)

Get somemore of the banks money I just stole some today.... it's pay day....

I've only flown through Chitown.... I need to make a visit and y'all can take me to the best eats in town! your treat of course:)

I like kyoto sushi on northgate that's chicago to me...

I think we all know the truth behind this one... "Hey Chuck...it's your cousin Marvin...Marvin Berry...you know that sound you're looking for?? well listen to this!!"

in no particular order Michael Jackson 80s -see every boy/girl band ever The Pixies 90s -see nirvana and rock and roll since '90 Hendrix 70s -no need to explain REM/radiohead 90s-00s -have you heard music lately EDITED ok, the beatles 60s -yeah...whatever

I appreciate the history lesson. I'm actually a big beach boys fan. I also don't buy into the Pink floyd, Rolling stones, Led Zepplin Hype either... Although you can't f*** with Hendrix, Joplin or the doors.

The beatles drew influences from many sources too. I never doubted their abilities (at least as far as the song writing goes) but anyone that argues their musicianship obviously never picked up a guitar before. John has major rhythm issues, ringo's four of the floor drumming...eck. The best guitar tracks ever done in a beatle's song is "while my guitar gently weeps" of course done by Slow hand.

I know what you mean. When I was 16, my family moved because the gangs were threatening to kill my sister and brother (they were 12 and 13 respecitively) because they wouldn't join the gang. One week later, a 4 year old girl who lived a block away was shot to death in a drive by. All she was doing was sitting on the porch with her parents (it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity). The little girl was a co-worker's god-daughter. 25 years ago my cousin's husband was shot in the abdomen. He lived, but he contract some virus or something and now he can barely walk because his muscles won't do what they are supposed to do. That's only two of many people that I have know to be shot as a result of an accident or a mugging. I can see both sides of the gun argument so I really can't say who I agree with more. both of those cases sound like people having guns who shouldn't have. Those stories will only increase when everyday citizens have their guns taken away. Criminals will always have access on some level to weapons. It can't get easier than that.
