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.

^^^ Not watching Heat vs. Knicks? Or perhaps on the inning breaks? It's an absolutely gorgeous day and I'm stuck inside at work.

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.

It's NEVER too early for the Angels to suck ass and be in last place in the division while Scioscia twiddles his thumbs with a befuddled look on his fat face.

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.

Our fellow forum baseball fan jb126 is at the Red Sox Home Opener today.

Oh hell yeah, Paul. Indiana has been meltdown city since they beat the Heat a week ago. They've lost to crap teams like Cleveland and Philadelphia. Meanwhile, don't look now but San Antonio is rolling! They didn't lose a game the entire month of March. The Lakers are about to set their all-time worst season record...already have lost 50 games, which is only the second time since moving to Los Angeles that they've lost that many games.

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.

Not just Kershaw, Rick Olé, but Brian Wilson joins him on the DL. Killing time before work watching KC @ Detroit...Scherzer dealing on the mound for the Tigers.

About as much confidence as Incognito does in Dolphin fans. Or your Mets bullpen. The thing about the Sanchez signing is that if Kelly wants to implement the Ducks offense he is famous for and was supposedly hired by Philadelphia in the first place, Sanchez is not that type of quarterback. It makes zero sense from a system standpoint.

Throw in some roasted garlic and mashed taters can be pretty tasty.

No doubt. The Stones in 1981-82 were dreadfully dull on that tour. Mick in those horrible American football pants. Ugh. Someone in the audience at the Houston Astrodome show was so bored they resorted to stabbing someone...or was it the Cotton Bowl show?

So the Eagles sign questionable Sanchez yet let a genuine talent like Jackson go to the Taters? Not sure I understand their thinking, but as they're in the NFC Least, I don't really care. All four teams in this division are looney toons.

You and Mrs. CP?

This thread is getting off-topic. I love "Four Sticks" to death, but the OP wasn't asking about that song or even your thoughts about Led Zeppelin IV as a whole. He was asking your thoughts about his theory that Jimmy purposely put the noises that begin the album because as "Master of the group" he couldn't bear having Robert's voice be the first thing listeners heard. Daffy or not, let's try to keep the discussion on-track.

October 12, 1969 Lyceum Ballroom, London. Two days after the show we're getting on the Led Zeppelin remaster.
