Can't say I'm surprised nor sad about the mess Cleveland is in right now...from the coach to Lebron to Kevin Love. This was a sham in the making from the moment Lebron turned his back on Miami. I'm laughing at the inevitability of it all...it is so perfect. I actually was offered tix to see the Cavs play the Lakers earlier tonight but I passed. Watching Kobe and the Lakers these days is sad enough without having to watch them play another sad team.

Bill Bruford's shining moment with Yes:

Already have my dvd box set. BOOM! POW! ZAP!

If you don't want to discuss this in public you can pm me instead, but I'm rather curious about your reaction. Had you read Gillian Flynn's book before seeing the movie? Or did you go into the movie cold, unaware of the story? ***SPOILER ALERT*** DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN "GONE GIRL". Was it the character of Amy and her machinations that weirded you out? To me that is what elevated the story above the typical missing person melodrama. I loved how proactive and clever Amy was in Nick's destruction...and yes, a little unhinged. Definitely not a first-date type of movie. Tonight I went to see another movie on the married-couple's hit parade: "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf". The movie has lost none of its scathing power all these years later. http://youtu.be/xWoAOohbr5M

Mmmmmm. My name is Strider and I approve of this menu.

^^^ 5.5 Not one of my faves by them. Many people reference Led Zeppelin when talking about the Tea Party but that was more like Whitesnake.

It's the same here in Los Angeles. A sea of colours from Seattle green to Miami turquoise, from Dallas blue to NY Giants blue, from Raiders silver-and-black to Steelers yellow and black.

Would they take the sweet leaf-burning hippie?

^^^ A solid 8. I love the Black Angels and most of their songs I would rank 7 or higher.

Which of course reminds me of this... http://youtu.be/YCjspyo-_aI

This...:

If it really is the end, I will miss them...more for their live shows than their albums, good though they be. But their concerts were some of the best I have ever seen, especially the week-long run at the Fonda Theatre in 2005. Crazy good those six shows were.

Maybe by 2020 New England will be showing their age. A Giants fan living in Dallas. Will wonders never cease?

Soundboards remember? Unless you know something we don't?

Where's Seattle Nutrocker? I'll hold off declaring my pick for best...I just relistened to 5/26 and 5/30 and 5/30 especially sounded pretty good. I'll have to give Texas Hurricane another listen to make my final decision. I can definitely say what is at the bottom of the list: Houston and 5/28 Landover...two of my least-listened to Zeppelin boots ever.

As long as Belichick and Brady are upright everyone else in the AFC East is playing for second place. Sorry Rick 'n' Paul...that's just the way it is. Walter, if it's between giving Dez or DeMarco the big money, my vote would be to keep Dez. Running backs have a short shelf life in the NFL and can readily be found in the draft. A game-changing receiver is a different matter and once you find one you should keep 'em at all costs...unless he's a headcase like T.O. or Moss.

Like I said earlier, I'm on the fence about this, Paul. There's no question Jack Del Rio had some success with Jacksonville but it was earlier in his career. His last years with the Jags were not good and his recent tenure with Denver isn't quite enough to sell me on his bona fides. Plus, as a Raider fan it rankles we have to hire a Denver Bronco as our coach.

You could say that about most quarterbacks...if they could only just cut down their turnovers.

Damn dude, for a minute there I thought you were in the wrong thread...it read more like an "unhappy" event. Glad it reached a happy conclusion for your hip. Did they crank Led Zeppelin IV while giving you the IV?

Mark Sanchez will be available. I'm sure Sexy Rexy would love to be reunited with his old QB. Bwahahaha.

^^^ Thanks PlanetPage for digging that info up. I have seen the Weintraub footage before. I am wondering if the 1970 film clip they think is a trailer for The Song Remains the Same might actually be footage of the 1970 Royal Albert Hall gig?

Ahhh...something to look forward to on my next jaunt to the flea market.

+1 Not Led Zeppelin...Page & Plant live at Madison Square Garden on the 1998 tour. This puts the lie to those who think Page and Plant lost it after 1980. A barnburning show. Page & Plant - (Madison Square Garden) NYC 7-16-98: http://youtu.be/nKF8lUOKGno

^^^ Oh yes, I definitely have that book in my library. A rollicking read!

^^^ Lot of great running backs came from Syracuse U...Jim Brown, Jim Nance, Floyd Little, Ernie Davis, and the Zonk!
