  1. Fatally Wanderer. Doesn't make any sense.
  2. A lifetime's worth of a Beatle's 'stuff' heads to auction Dec. 3-5 When a Beatle decides to clean out his closets, odds are the outcome will be a cooler-than-average yard sale. Sure enough, as Ringo Starr and his wife, actress Barbara Bach, swept through Julien’s Auctions house in Beverly Hills on Tuesday night for one more look at all the “stuff” they’ve decided to sell off for charity, eyes popped and jaws dropped at the lifetime’s worth of objects — more than 1,300 — that the couple has collected. Dozens of framed gold and platinum record awards for Starr’s recordings with the Fab Four and on his own, distinctive outfits he’s worn on stage and while hanging out with his superstar rock pals, a plethora of Beatles collectibles — Ringo’s “Yellow Submarine” lunch box and thermos, anyone? — Ringo rings and other jewelry and, perhaps most tantalizing to Beatles fans around the world, numerous musical instruments, a few among the most iconic in the history of popular music. The latter include Starr’s signature Ludwig drum kit with “The Beatles” logo on the bass drum head, which has a pre-auction estimate of $300,000 to $500,000, and two guitars formerly owned and played by bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison. Lennon’s 1964 Rickenbacker electric is expected to fetch $600,000 to $800,000, and Harrison’s 1962 Gretsch “Chet Atkins” Tennessean model is estimated to sell for $100,000 to $200,000. Then there is Starr’s own copy of the band’s 1968 double album “The Beatles,” commonly referred to as “The White Album” for its plain white cover, with only the group’s name embossed in raised letters and the serial number stamped into each copy—in Starr’s case, number 0000001. http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-ringo-starr-beatles-auction-juliens-charity-20151202-story.html
  3. Yes. At the 1:41 mark of Led Zeppelin's version of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You", it is possible to hear Plant singing, "I can hear it calling me" just before he sings the same line in full volume: bleed from Plant's scratch vocal appears on the drum tracks, which were recorded with the full band. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babe_I'm_Gonna_Leave_You#Led_Zeppelin_version
  4. And we could have known this info all along with a few Wikipedia searches!
  5. Everything of mine is on flash drives, no real organization though. I don't mind doing a little digging if I'm itching to hear a certain show, and I remember pretty well where everything is. ^One of seven full flash drives, so far.
  6. Oh, don't get me wrong, I love Eli and his easy-going, laid-back attitude. But c'mon, that shit's funny.
  7. I laughed my ass off the first time I saw that pic. He's got a lot of great expressions, lol.
