  1. If they win Album of the Year, I might faint. That's the ultimate Grammy of Grammys, really.
  2. No, after the shitfest of a song that was "Come With Me", I hope he keeps his tentacles out of Percy. It's bad enough he convinced Jimmy to rape Kashmir for the Godzilla soundtrack, I can't imagine what he'd ask Robert to do.
  3. I am so excited for both Allison and Robert. Raising Sand was such a phenomenal album and for such a great album to get recognized by the Grammys when often times it feels like they only give awards to the high-selling crap on the radio, this is vindication of some sorts, I feel.
  4. I mean this nicely and with as much love as I can put across. Shove it up your butt.
  5. Holy shit, they won Record of the Year? That's one of the major catagories!
  6. Shine On You Crazy Diamond - David Gilmour f/David Crosby and Graham Nash

    Drinks

    I'm currently enjoying a mocha frapp from Starbucks. Yay.
  8. It was definitely the funniest one, that's for sure. It's a nice little kick of humor and a nod to something that probably only the die-hard fans would know about. For a serious choice though, Out Through The In Door is pretty good.

    A cold Caffeine-Free Diet Coke.
  10. Hopefully Bruce Springsteen at the Greensboro Coliseum on May 2nd.
  11. Spending time outside. It's 68 degrees outside. Just divine.
  12. I love all the people who think that if a woman becomes pregnant, be it through her own stupidity (no protection) or someone else's (birth control fails, rape, incest).....she should be forced to remain pregnant even if she doesn't want to be. Basically the idea that a woman's uterus is not her own and that what happens with it is not her choice. I don't agree with what this thread was started about, I think at a certain stage in the pregnancy abortion should only be used in life-or-death situations. Once the fetus is viable outside the womb, that's that. The decision to have or not have an abortion should be made long before that stage arrives. If I become pregnant and I decide I no longer want to be pregnant, no matter the means by which I got pregnant......I'm going to end that pregnancy. No one has a right to make decisions about my reproductive freedoms except me and my doctor. I respect a person's right to have a differing opinion on the subject, but where I draw the line is when you want your moral or religious opinion to become or effect the law. Sorry. I won't accept that. The right to choose does not force people who don't agree with abortions to have them. It is exactly what it says it is. The right to a choice. You can exercise it or you can not exercise it. Don't take that choice away from others just because your personal value system says it's wrong. It doesn't work like that and it should NEVER work like that. Religion doesn't belong in our laws.
  13. "It doesn't matter what we're singing, you'll drop $20 on it anyway" I think that has a nice ring to it.
  14. The Led Zeppelin DVD by a long shot. There's just so much incredible footage that I personally had never seen before. I had seen the footage from TSTRS before the DVD came out. So it wasn't new to me.
  15. To be honest, and not to get too off-topic since this conversation really doesn't belong here, but I hate The Wall. Love Comfortably Numb, hate The Wall. Waters' ego destroyed that band. Great talent, but giant asshole. I really love Gilmour's first solo album, and I think it would have fit well on it. I would love to know what it sounded like the way he had it done originally.
  16. Oh I completely agree. Daydreaming about Jimmy Page is completely harmless, but none of us here know him from a hole in the wall.
  17. Ah, if only it were that easy. First celeb/musician "crush" I ever had was David Gilmour. I was probably 10 or 11 at the time and was looking at my dad's Meddle album, which in the gatefold has a picture of all 4 guys. I thought he was just the dreamiest dude I ever saw. Of course I was 10, so it was relatively tame. I later came to know what a real crush/love feels like, so looking back I like to laugh. But I can see how someone's talent, be it singing or playing the guitar, can be a very powerful attractor.
  18. Yup! He had recorded it for his solo album, but later decided not to use it and brought it with him when Pink Floyd started working on what became The Wall. It's one of the very few songs on the album Roger Waters didn't write. Frankly, just to spite Waters' ego, he should have kept it.
  19. It's supposed to be 65 tomorrow! If we weren't having a casserole for lunch, I'm sure my dad would grill again. I was walking around in shirtsleeves and flip-flops today. On February 7th! I love it.
  20. Well, Robert as #1 of course, but for my second choice.....David fucking Gilmour. Sorry Roger fans, he may have wrote the songs, but David made them classics. A part of me always felt that he should have kept Comfortably Numb to himself instead of bringing it to The Wall sessions. Most people probably don't know that; he was working on that song during the sessions for his first solo album (which I have).
  21. It's a great song, but hardly the best they did. At least in my not-so-scientific opinion. My personal choice isn't up there, so I'll go with my second choice, which is SIBLY.
  22. None of the band posts here. And as I pointed out, a search for this topic will yield threads that have far more information. As to the actual meaning of the word.....I don't think even Jimmy remembers what the hell it means.
