Thanks for the info, Steve! Listened to a couple of tracks from the band and they're pretty good!

Oh my! I leave you girls alone for five minutes and I return to the whole thread becoming a lemonade stand. Hah! @ZepRex: Thanks so much for sharing that story! That is a goal of mine; to finally see him in person ...in whatever capacity (but mostly at a concert). He just hasn't come down to this neck of the woods in a while. *cries* We still love you down South, Robert!!!

:hysterical:

*keels over and passes out*

I'm sure this was posted somewhere before...but what the hey! Seeing it again don't hurt nobody.

YES! 80s Robert says he wants a lemon emoticon too...preferably one that's squeezable.

...............................................................well ya never know, LLH. Maybe Pagette knows something we don't. *lmao*

Aaaah, you lucky LUCKY women to have seen him live and in person. I'm sure like most of you, if he was even in the vicinity I'd probably die of hyperventilation or something worse (or be like Grace Potter and offer my body for the taking. Ah, the things we females say when we're flustered). And I can't remember where I read this (maybe it was in the Hoskyns' book), but someone stated that photographs of Robert did him no justice because in person he was even more beautiful! Can you imagine that????

For the Knebworth lovers

^^ Haha! Maybe that's why he wore that famous "Nurses do it better" shirt. He must know something we kinda figured out already. @Pagette - Thanks for sharing that pic! He looks dreamy in that one.

Oh, you can be sure if Nadal returns, the fans are going to be cheering the loudest for him in whatever tournament he plays in. My advice to his opponents? Play with earplugs (or if possible blinders) on.

Holy crap. That is one awesome store!! But then again, I don't live in New Orleans. Damn! Still, it's definitely inspired me to go hunting around for any existing vinyl record stores around my neck of the woods. There are tons of old bookstores here *lol* but no luck with vinyl-heavy stores yet.

Great finds/vids, Deborah J! What I would do to have a collection like that.

If anyone knows what was being recorded here, please share.

Very good points, Whoopie Cat. I've been a fan of Novak since '05 when he bust onto the scene. There was just something about that lanky, goofy kid with such talent, that caught my attention. Of course being an avid follower of his career has not been easy either. Watching him get flak for his retirements during matches, his good-natured ribbing of other players, and never getting the love due to all the Federer-Nadal fever, made rooting for him a lonely sport at times. 2011 was like a shot of adrenaline in the arm for us, and watching him rise from his position at #3 for so long to #1 was fantastic! Finally the tennis world (well besides the insiders) were now paying attention. There were actually other players besides Roger and Rafael! Shocking! To say I'm proud of him would make me sound like some cheesy, over protective fan or something, but I really am. He's definitely come so far and we ought to bask in this moment for as long as it lasts. As for Andy Murray...I don't dislike him, neither do I think he's that great either. I still think that U.S Open win was a fluke (so yes, yes, he won and played better in the windy conditions but there's still something about it that doesn't sit too well with me) And then there's his attitude on the court. The man needs to learn how to control his mouth more often (and facial expressions because he always looks like he's constipated or something). No one is denying he's got talent, but man, he can be boring to watch at times. Besides those two first sets, which were competitive, the next two showed exactly why he's at a risk of becoming a one-slam wonder. When he loses the serve and starts marking all those unforced errors, it's an atrocious thing to witness. All the same, I'm glad he's finally out of that pressure cooker of a situation where he was constantly bugged about winning a grand slam. Now that's been taken care of, it's time to see if he can back it up in future grand slam events. I'm sure Wimbledon this year will be his to lose buuuuuuuuuuuuuut we'll see what the perennial favorite (Federer) has to say about that. Oh, and let's not forget Novak either...after he finally beats Nadal at Roland Garros to complete the career grand slam that is. Vamos Nole!!

Yay, Nole!! Had to wake up at an ungodly hour to watch this, but well worth it.

Some more goodies!

G'morning, Plantaides! Some Sunday loveliness for your viewing pleasure.

If I could take a wild guess, I think it would be where they shot his scenes for "The Song Remains the Same".

Weeeeell, let's just say that the very first thing that came to mind consisted of unintelligible words and sounds (in the panting and moaning region). *Ahem* Closely followed by "Lawd Jesus give me strength!"

@JP78 & SosoZoso - I agree a hundred and ten percent. Knebworth was just a culmination of sexiness, intensity and humility all rolled into one. Especially when he almost tears up when thanking the fans for sticking around with them for 12 years. Urgh. Almost like a foreshadowing, you know? Anyway! No time to start thinking sad thoughts! Here's some more eye candy for the weekend! [You do NOT want to know the captions I had for this one when I saw it.]

Unf. Sexy Knebworth shots!
