The man was not perfect, he would be the first one to admit such himself, but by the last 20 years of his life his integrity could not be questioned. I also am in the camp of "silent service" that is, if you serve that is your choice and you do not use that service to benefit yourself. However, I would take hearing about McCain's torture in an NVA POW camp over Cadet Bone Spurs (Trump) stating on record that avoiding STD's was his own personal Vietnam while is jackass father pulled strings to get him 4 deferments from service. Seriously, you have to be a SERIOUS asshole to dodge the draft, chase pussy, and stay cosy knowing daddy's connections will keep you safe... and then 50 years later talk shit about a POW. I really would be hard pressed to find a better example of how low and disgusting a person could be, captured on video as well.

What an absurd and ridiculous post

If you are such a winner, why bother to explain? Every winner I know never needs to explain that he / she is a winner. Bonnie & Clyde were boys being boys, girls being girls? So murder and theft are normal behaviors now? Talk about a Steve-O flip flop. Seems the Steve-O protesteth too much

Anything by the Ohio Players

Per your own words: "No mental illness with this man, just massive balls. This guy knew what he was doing, and was so sick of the profound bullshit associated with being a man in our society that for 90 minutes he took his life into his own hands. Answering to nobody." Sounds like if you admired the guy any more you would have asked him on a date had he lived. Then there is the fabricated social constructs of social constructs, "the profound bullshit associated with being a man in our society." Talk about a load of absolute shit! Awww, whats wrong, are poor white men sad because they no longer hold absolute power over women and minorities? Awwwww, boo hoo. Suck it up buttercup. I guess getting along on personality and talent alone is not cutting it. Oh well. The very fact of your above quote pretty much proves white privilege, because if it was simply a construct, why so butthurt over equality? BTW, Bonnie & Clyde were sociopathic twats, I don't see why anyone with half a brain would romanticize those two losers.

So let me get this straight, when a black guy steals a pair of $120 Nike's he is a thug, but when some white guy steals a 10 million dollar plane and endangers the lives of others (you know there were humans on the ground below him right?), he is a hero? I heard of white privilege but DAMN!

By god man you are correct! I looked at that picture and not a single punter is in uniform, proof positive of your statement. Wow, I sure feel like a fool now. My friend was stationed in Germany at Boeblingen outside Stuttgart 79' - 82' (which is the same base I would be at six years later). He was quite the traveller and went all over Europe whenever he had leave. The late 70's and well into the 80's were a tough time for terrorism in West Germany, the Red Army Faction and Rz were particularly nasty. By the time I got there in 88' things had calmed down to a degree compared to the early 80's but the groups were still active, just not as much. I really loved my time in Germany and Europe in general.

Thanks for the geography lesson, BTW, how far is it from London to Bruges? I hear that Bruges is a very calm place.

Season 6 is Roanoke and is filmed as some sort of reality show BS. It really sucked, reminded me of Blair Witch Project 2. Season 7 is called Cult and for some harebrained reason is all about the 2016 election and Trump in particular. Everyone on this board knows how I feel about this issue but come on, did they really have to go there? Now to be fair I have not seen it so it may surprise me however I doubt it. The new Season 8 is called Apocalypse and is a crossover of seasons 1 & 3 and sounds like it will be a return to form and the best season since Hotel (Season 5). Yes, Lily Rabe as a great actress and very pleasant on the eyes. I would love to take her out for a lovely dinner.

So far my favorites are seasons 2 (Asylum), 3 (Coven), and 5 (Hotel). Season 6 was utter rubbish IMO. Have yet to see season 7 however I have read the synopsis and it sounds boring. Thoughts?

You do realize Rotterdam is not in Germany, nor is it near any US bases. As only four dates of the European tour were outside of Germany (Brussels, Rotterdam, Zurich, & Vienna) it would make sense those dates would have a greater native population. You know, I have no idea why you are getting so worked up over this, I was simply stating what a very reliable friend had told me. Plus, I have known other US servicemen who also attended some of the German gigs and they pretty much said the same thing. But hey, if it calms you down then fine, they are all completely wrong, delusional even and you who admittedly attended only the Rotterdam date are the ultimate source of factual information for tour dates you never attended. You mentioned Dave Lewis, so, how about you post a quote from him regarding the make up of the German audiences as I am sure he would know. Or, have him post here to confirm either way since you are such good friends. I have no problem admitting when I am wrong and will gladly do so. In the time being though, in an effort not to bruise your delicate ego, I defer to your expert opinion on this matter...having attended a single show and all.

So, my friend who was at both shows is somehow wrong but you are correct? Did you attend either the Frankfurt or Munich shows? Did you attend any of the shows?

Yep, massive balls that went right through his skull and became a permanent part of the earth. The winner of this years Darwin Award. Well played sir, well played

I hate to say this but it is likely because it was a European tour at a time when no one in Europe gave a shit about Zeppelin, the Who, the Stones, or any of the "old guard" bands. The Stones did not embark on a tour of Europe until 82' after punk had all but died over there. But 1980...hell no. The European music scene was completely different from the US scene at the time. I venture the US leg of the tour would have been covered extensively and possibly a show or two multi-tracked. As it was when tickets were announced for the American dates they either immediately sold out (dates which tickets were sold) or would have due to insane demand. Zep could have easily played the mega-arenas if they wanted to on the US 80-81' tour but in Europe they couldn't even get arrested if they wanted to. The fact is, the majority of the audience at those European dates were American servicemen. I have a friend who attended both the Frankfurt and Munich gigs and he supported this fact. He said the shows were pretty much USO shows in all but name only, that's how much of the audience were US soldiers.

Another great movie. You would think getting that many top flight actors together it would turn into a shit show as such ensemble casts typically do. Not this movie, everyone is spot on. In particular, Jack Lemmon gives one of, if not the greatest performance of his career. That and Day's of Wine & Roses are my two favorite Lemmon performances. Honorable mention to China Syndrome of course.

Ha, I was just joking. As soon as you said Colorado Springs that was all I needed to know. That town makes Tokyo look culturally diverse by comparison. Not to mention all the shenanigans going on at the Air Force Academy. Such a beautiful place, been there once and through it a few times but you could not pay me to visit there ever again. Can't wait to see this movie.

So I gather this is not based on the Dave Chappelle skit?

Sweet poster, but a recent one. Lawrence or as he was known then and listed as such in the movie credits was Larry Fishburn. He was never listed in any original promotion or poster for the movie as he was completely unknown...that was his first movie and he was just 15 years old when the movie was filmed. Awesome movie though, one of my favorites. I have both the original version & Redux on DVD. I can understand why they did not use the portion from the French plantation as it was just too meandering, as was the scene with the Playboy Bunnies. Of course I always get a chuckle when the Chief asks Willard if there are any "mommas" and when Williard says "what?" Chief says never mind and walks away. Pretty stupid of Chief if you ask me. Willard clearly did not understand the slang so if there were some soul sisters his dumb ass would have missed out, simply because he was too proud to clarify his inquiry. I know, minor silly point but it always cracked me up.

I love Benicio, just a great actor. One of my favorite performances by him was in Fear & Loathing in LV. The interplay between him & Johnny Depp was fantastic. But IMO his Dr. Gonzo stole the movie.

The final four (10th- 14th) of the MSG run are all on par with the best of LA if not better IMO. Jimmy did not show well at all the 7th or 8th but after a days rest he came back with a vengeance. I would kill for a official release of any of the final four or a best of from the NY 77' run.

That's not true and you know that. Your other posts did not simply contain grammatical errors. Those I understand as people post after a long day, are tired, typing fast etc. What I am referring to is the actual literacy and tone of your post. Your prior posts are Steve Erkel'ish, outlandish statements formed in a purposely ignorant fashion ala Archie Bunker. Your recent posts are clear and concise, well executed and literate. So either you have been taking some courses (good for you if so), or you have just been cheeky they whole time. TBH there is nothing wrong with that unless your intent is to cause unrest for the pleasure of watching the shit fly. I never said you were someone else, I said you were essentially pretending to be a parody when in fact you are obviously quite bright and articulate. I would take the complement Kip.

Do you realize the US is the ONLY democratic republic which utilizes an electoral college system? Do you know only four other nations use an electoral college system and all are not democratic but totalitarian? Do you know that the electoral college system, as outlined in the constitution became irrelevant and moot once the Civil War broke out in 1861? The whole purpose of the electoral college was to ensure the slave states had a great weight of vote to ensure slavery could not be abolished...that was the ONLY reason for the electoral college. We should have eliminated the electoral college in 1865 after the Civil War, instead, we kept it in an effort to manipulate the vote if necessary. So, in 16 years we have had two Presidents elected who lost the popular vote...and by quite a bit at that. You know Kip, if anyone would have said 10 years ago the US would have a President like Trump I would say no way, they were crazy, yet here we are. If someone would say a decent number of the American population would have no problem with a President who lies, every day on national TV, tweets like a deranged animal daily, sides with our adversaries and disavows our allies and our own agencies I would say they were absolutely mad. There would be no way this could happen in the US. If you truly like Trump that speaks volumes of who you are and what you represent, the devolution of the American Psyche from the worlds moral compass to just another banana republic run by just another tin-pot dictator. Just remember, that sword cuts both ways and those who follow such leaders typically become swallowed up by the very monster they created. Good luck BTW Kip, as your tone and syntax has changed considerably from your last post compared to prior posts, it is obvious my suspicions are correct. You are hear simply to troll.

Well, no, the majority did not elect Trump as more than 3 million people voted for Hillary. Hillary won the popular vote by a very large margin. Please explain how a person (you), who continuously posts outright lies and fabrications has scruples? You are either an idiot who blindly believes these ridiculous memes on Facebook, or, simply like to stir the shit. Personally, I believe it to be the later.

Kip, you posted something which was factually incorrect. In fact, about as incorrect as one can get. Have you no scruples?
