CP, Georgia is known for its peanuts as well as its peaches, so maybe a peanut encrusted chicken along with a peanut slaw...and some peanut brittle.

I don't know what girl band you're referring to, but I do remember Tori Amos doing an album of covers of songs written by men. I also don't get what you mean by "the softer Sixties"...that's when rock and jazz really started exploding and experimenting sonically and lyrically. As for "I Saw Her Standing There"...it is hardly in the same class as W.A.S.P.'s "Fuck Like a Beast" or 2 Live Crew. Macca was barely out of his teens when he wrote it for his girlfriend, and to think it creepy, you must have led a sheltered life. Actually, one can parse the Great American Songbook and find questionable attitudes towards women in some songs. It's just because there is no vulgarity and the songs have graceful chords and melodies that allows people to think the songs are sweet and innocent. Rock and roll is more upfront and in-your-face in both sound and attitude. Being that you're singing to a hotel audience, I'm not surprised a bit that they would rather hear Cole Porter than Bruce Springsteen.

Well, Georgia isn't quite in the same league as New Orleans, in my opinion, and Jambalaya is definitely more a New Orleans cuisine than Georgian. Fresh peach cobbler is a must, of course. And some barbeque...either some ribs or a pig on a spit. Walter is correct with the collard greens, corn bread, etc. Throw in some grits, too.

Watching the Bayern München vs. Manchester United UEFA Champions League match. Huge crowd of people here...most cheering for Man U.

Mary Anderson R.I.P. Died three days after her 96th birthday. "Lifeboat" is one of my favourite Hitchcock films. http://www.avclub.com/article/rip-mary-anderson-actress-gone-wind-and-lifeboat-203196

^^^ Congratulations on #100! Better late than never. This concert was always bittersweet for me because of many circumstances surrounding it...but mainly because it's really the last time Led Zeppelin had that youthful glow and vibe. From the time I first saw them in '72 until those '75 Forum shows, there might have been slight changes in hair and clothes, but they were still pretty much the same physically and spiritually. On the 1977 tour, however, the change in the band's appearance was striking. For the first time in this fans eyes, they seemed much older and in Jimmy's case especially, unhealthily unkempt and frail. Don't get me wrong...the concerts were still great, if in a different way than they were great in, say '72 or '73. But there was something so different about them in 1977 that for the first time ever, one could allow thoughts of the band's possible end enter one's mind.

I wonder if they actually wrote down a setlist on paper? Unlike many concerts where you see the roadies tape setlists on the stage monitors or in front of the guitarist's effects box or next to the drummer (and hopefully get the roadie to hand you the setlist after the show), I never saw setlists on Led Zeppelin's stage. I saw them only from 1972-77, so maybe in the early days they would use physical setlists actually written down on paper? Maybe some oldtimer can fill us in?

I didn't and still don't. The 1975 tour totally sated and sapped my appetite for "Black Dog". In 1977, "The Rover", "Wanton Song", "For Your Life", "Royal Orleans", "Out on the Tiles"(the full song), "In the Light", "Night Flight", "The Ocean", and "Celebration Day" were all higher priorities on my setlist wish list. I couldn't care less about hearing "Black Dog" yet again, as I had already heard it at every previous Zeppelin concert. Sorry if that hurts anybody's feelings...just my opinion.

:cheer: All right! All right! All right! Congratulations Super Dave (and all the other people in the Conn/Mass/RI area) to your UConn Huskies! They looked discombobulated at times down the stretch, but they held it together enough to beat Kentucky 60-54 for the NCAA Championship. It was a fun game to watch. Time to cue up "One Shining Moment"!

NCAA Championship Game on CBS. They just showed this weird ass commercial with Gary Busey. Don't ask me what the product was...all I noticed was Gary Busey acting like he was tripping on acid.

^^^ You got that right, ebk. He's a walking Somnoplex ad.

Here we go! #8 Kentucky vs. #7 UConn...first time ever since seedings began in 1979 that no Top 3 seed has made it to the Championship Game. Do I cheer for the Huskies or the Ashley Judds? Unfortunately it's being held at Texas Stadium, which means we'll have to suffer through numerous tv shots of Jerry Jones. Already, I turned from the Red Sox - Rangers game to see Kid Cock mangling some Lynyrd Skynyrd song. Hopefully they will have somebody decent doing the National Anthem... ...oh, it's that guy from Hootie & the Blowfish...Darius something or other. I suppose Sheryl Crow will be doing the halftime show.

planted's new avatar photo...and having the next three days off.

^^^ Yep...guess Holly won't have Mr. Yunioshi around anymore to protest about the noise. R.I.P. Mickey Rooney. Man, he scored a lotta beautiful dames.

I like the skating team of Meryl Davis and Charlie White, so my only interest in the show is to see how they do. Had no idea ESPN's Erin Andrews was a host on the show. Pretty soon Erin Andrews and Michael Strahan are going to be the hosts of "Good Morning America".

I see you've broken into my quote-box, KB. Hehe. I do wonder what would have become of Nirvana had Kurt not shot himself. Would they still be a band? Would Dave Grohl have ever decided to leave on his own? Would the Foo Fighters or Them Crooked Vultures disappear if we magically could see the alternative if Kurt was alive...like in "It's a Wonderful Life"? Maybe instead of killing himself, he would have ended up killing Courtney Love? Or both of them would have OD'd on heroin?

planted meant all the people in her household are fans...that's what the 'here' was referring to, not the Forum. Cecil., I didn't understand your Queen reference...in what way did you take Kurt's suicide note as a Queen lyric?

With Florida and Wisconsin going down, all my bracket entries are toast...this was one of my worst years ever picking the tournament. On the plus side, Kentucky being in the Final means more Ashley Judd and UConn making it means Super Dave is doing this somewhere. Not sure where my rooting interests will lie for the game Monday.

Today, April 5, is the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, give or take 24 hours. Since his body wasn't actually found until the Friday morning of April 8, 1994, the coroner couldn't pinpoint his exact time of death, but it's generally accepted as being April 5, 1994, although the world wouldn't learn the news until April 8. In a weird act of symmetry, Alice in Chains vocalist Layne Staley also died on an April 5...overdosing on heroin on April 5, 2002. Another parallel is that Layne's body wasn't discovered until later...TWO WEEKS LATER! Cobain famously wrote Neil Young's lyrics "It's better to burn out than to fade away" in his suicide note. You could say Kurt chose the former while Layne did the latter. I read an interesting article from a Michigan site that examines this point. Thought I would share it with you and ask your thoughts. http://www.mlive.com/entertainment/bay-city/index.ssf/2014/04/kurt_cobain_and_layne_staleys.html

Could have been posted in Classic Film Clips thread or the TV thread. Because you've titled this thread "Dancing With The Stars", people will think you want to talk about the tv show.

Yes! Go! You'll have fun...I was expecting the usual product-placement drivel but it is really a clever, fun, movie.

^^^ Thank you. No. But his buddies on the next rock did do a duet of "Kiss from a Rose". Give my best to the Missus.

Heading into work reading about the Ft. Hood shooting in the paper. So sad, as I have such fond memories of that place when I was stationed there. It was only a few years ago (2009) that they had another shooting. Nothing like that ever happened while I was there. Only one incident I can recall...a soldier dying after getting bit by a rattlesnake that was in his sleeping bag when we were on maneuvers.

Certainly not the miserable Anaheim Angels. Escaped to one of my favourite beaches for some r n r...when I arrived I discovered they had it blocked off for filming some ABC show called "The Fosters". So I hiked north along the cliffs until I found a secluded place...and was eventually joined by a beach buddy who also wanted to lay in the sun. Here's a hole for those golfers whose friends tell them they couldn't hit it in the broad side of an ocean... My buddy Seal. His buddy Crabby. Living on the edge...

Bad back = No Masters for Tiger Woods. I know numerically Tiger is still on pace to break Jack Nicklaus' record, but am I the only one who thinks it's starting to slip away for Tiger? Especially given the fact that the Masters is a major course he is suited for, so the more opportunities he lets slip by to win the Masters, the less chance he has of breaking Jack's record.
