Talking about a singer in a band that someone outside of their immediate family has heard of. BTW, Joan Hammel should be on the list as well. Give it to me Straight would be a nice selection.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 11:44 AM) Yes, Sandy was awesome. Died way too young. Amd actually, just like a lot of Richard Thompson's best stuff is post-Fairport, I think I like the Fotheringray and non-Fairport Denny stuff better than the Fairport stuff. I'm biased, though, because I jumped into Fairport midstream and after Richard had moved on, mostly to see what Dave Pegg was doing when he wasn't playing bass for Tull. And speaking of Tull/Fairport/Steeleye Span and such, Maddy Prior is another of the amazing famale folk-rock vocalists nobody knows about but should. ^^^^ what the hell did he just say? Does this make sense to anyone?? I kid because I care™

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 11:24 AM) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness Most issues dealing with political correctness come from liberal movements. Ah yes, the days when you could call someone a n****r. We certainly have taken a big step backwards. We didn't have to hire someone if we didn't like their religion, color. We could keep our neighborhoods from changing. Damn liberals ruining America for the white folks.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 11:00 AM) Most people do see it that way. Whatever, the point was made. Not certain of the point. 50s - Donna Reed, "decent" music, etc. 60s - Rebellion, "pussy" etc.

http://www.computerworld.com/action/articl...;intsrc=hm_list December 11, 2006 (Computerworld) -- Longtime Windows development chief James Allchin wrote in a January 2004 e-mail to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer and company co-founder Bill Gates that the software vendor had "lost sight" of customers' needs and said he would buy a Mac if he wasn't working for Microsoft.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 09:52 AM) For the record, I respect most of the liberal-leaning folks around here. They are intelligent and insightful. They also seem to be unique in that regard. As for the 1950's - early 60's references you made, I believe that period in time in America is commonly refered to as "Camelot". I always thought of Camelot as after Kennedy took office, not in the 50's. Even I am not that old.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 10:06 AM) But who is to say what is "living" to each individual? For me, living is seeing the movies I want to see, hearing the music I want to hear, playing as many guitars as I can, and the obvious ones of seeing my children grow old, meeting their children, and spending a lifetime with my wife. Living to me is not falling out of an airplane and/or climbing big things. But this the path these guys chose, hopefully they are O.K. Each person chooses their own path, some by not choosing. I am not questioning them attempting the trip they are on, nor would I question yours.

How ironic it's pussy liberals that fight to make certain the conservatives could use the word pussy. I know you non pussy conservatives yearn for the cold war days with Leave it to Beaver, no abortions, Christian prayer in schools, no interracial dating, wholesome entertainment on the radio. But those damn pussy liberals stopped all that.

Part of my job is doing those United Way presentations, usually at schools. Lots of fun.

Carrying too heavy of a pack is also dangerous. While there needs to be more data, travelling light and quick and getting up and off in less time, has shown to be in some cases safer. It really depends on what was left behind and if the people have the skills to cope. Knowledge almost always trumps equipment.

If I have the time, I enjoy chatting with them as either the senile old fool who can't remember anything or the really bad comedian. For a while, my neighborhood was being constantly called for replacement windows. Those guys were such a pane! I could see right through their offer. All with loud, really obnoxious laughing. The senile old man works great also. That sounds interesting, yes I would be interested in that, it is an exciting offer, what flavor is that pudding again? I love tapioca pudding, but chocolate is nice too. Sometimes my mommy brings we chocolate pudding with whipped cream, do you like whipped cream?

I thought of King but thought we were trying for more of a rock vibe. Once we veer into pop, these get really murky. A certain Ms. Carpenter would have to appear. At Seventeen by Ian would need to be included. Great female rockers are harder to find and makes for a much more interesting contest.

How can you die if you never lived? I pray they have a stove at the minimum to heat water.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 07:01 AM) So what? The other answer was to do nothing? Let the good vibes take over right? Let the commies take over in the Western Hemisphere. You sound a lot like the defeatists back in the 70s and 80s who said our only hope was to co-exist with the Soviets and hope cowboy Reagan didn't do anything stupid and start a war. You're exactly the same type that castigated Reagan for calling a spade a spade and labeling the Soviet Union as an "evil empire". If people like you had their way, people who aren't willing to do what it takes to win, then the Berlin wall would still be standing, Eastern Europe would still be Communist and several Latin American countries would be serving as Soviet client states. You may not like what we did but it worked and Soviet Communisim menaces us no more. Yet when the Soviet menance was no more, and the military was cut back, you disagreed. Why?

The Republicans around here crack me up. Pussies? Americans? why it seems like just three or four years ago that Bush landed on that aircraft carrier with the giant Mission Accomplished banner behind him. Just to prove I'm not a pussy, I am ready for thousands and thousands of more Americans to die in combat. I want blood everywhere. I believe we should invade every planet if it means that no person on this planet is living under a brutal dictator. Only when every last person who wants harm to the US is killed and lays bloodied in the streets will I say enough have died. Then we need to kill their children, and their children's children. Most Americans understand the difference between a just, necessary war and everything else. Perhaps the lesson to learn here is don't mislead the US public. 90%+ of Americans supported the invasion. It wasn't until the truth started leaking out, until American soldiers stopped upholding the very laws they purported to believe in and want for the Iraqi people that support cratered. Americans are a few steps above the savages that some people here would find endearing. We understand that you can't go to war because someone is using torture on its citizens and then use torture in that war. Some see that as being civilized, some as being pussies. I'll take the higher road. Did we just become pussies because the Dems are taking over? I like the new campaign strategy for '08.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) The premise behind the war is NOT bulls***, but the pussy-whipped Americans, as Nuke as put it, has listened to 5 years of "BUSH LIED", and now, we're on the verge of getting Vietnamed. I'm so glad we learned our lessons. How it was packaged may have been bulls***, and our methods of dealing with things since the inital 6 weeks of the war may have been wrong, but the reasons behind it certainly are not. But no one wants to talk about that, because they have let political bigotry get in the way. Oh yeah, those WMDs. I forgot Is this the new Republican mantra, we're all pussies?

Of course we have to add Madonna - ?? Blondie - Call Me The Pretenders - Brass In Pocket

Heart - These Dreams Jefferson Starship (Grace Slick) - White Rabbit Tina Turner - Private Dancer Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks) - Dreams (writing credit also)

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 09:33 PM) If you think this is the same tough as nails America that fought World War 2 and previous wars you're insane. The word is out on us and its right.........you bog us down and play for time and the pussy-whipped American public will start whining and we'll back off. Of course killing is the only solution you ever see. LMAO. Kill everyone. Did you happen to remember the President's approval rating the weeks after the Iraq invasion? It's only when the American public is lied to and the premise for the war is bulls*** that we back down.
