Me too. I haven't been this affected by a news story in a long time. I almost literally get sick to my stomach about some of the details.

Beastie Boys - The New Style. It's been mentioned on another thread for the Jimmy reference, but I've just discovered this song, and freaking LOVE it. Beastie Boys - The New Style Four and three and two and one What up! And when I'm on the mic - the suckers run (Word!) Down with Adrock and Mike D. and you ain't And I got more juice than Picasso got paint Got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick I'm not surprised you're on my dick B-E-A-S-T-I-E, what up Mike D. Ah yeah, that's me I got franks and pork and beans Always bust the new routines I get it - I got it, I know it's good The rhymes I write - you wish you would I'm never in training - my voice is not straining People always biting and I'm sick of complaining So I went into the locker room during classes Bust into your locker and I smashed your glasses You're from Secausus - I'm from Manhattan You're jealous of me because your girlfriend is cattin' There it is - kick it!!! Father to many - married to none And in case you're unaware I carry a gun Stepped into the party - the place was over packed Saw the kid that dissed my homey and shot him in the back I had to get a beeper 'cause my phone is tapped You better keep your mouth shut 'cause I'm fully strapped I got money in the bank - I can still get high That's why your girlfriend thinks that I'm so fly I've got money and juice - twin sisters in my bed Their father had envy so I shot him in the head If I played guitar I'd be Jimmy Page The girlie's I like are underage Check it! Girls with boyfriends are the kind I like I'll steal your honey like I stole your bike Your father - he's jealous 'cause I'm making that green I've got the girlie's numbers from the places I been There it is - kick it!!! You wanna know why - because I'm October 31st - that is my date of birth I got to the party and I did the Smurf Taxing all females from coast to coast And when I get my fill I'm chilly most We rag-tag girlies back at the hotel And then we all switch places when I ring the bell I chill at White Castle 'cause it's the best But I'm fly at Fat Burger when I way out west K-I-N-G-A-D whammy All the fly ladies are on my jammy Went to the prom - wore the fly blue rental Got six girlies in my Lincoln Continental Met this girl at the party and she started to flirt I told her some rhymes and she pulled up her skirt Spent some bank - I got a high powered jumbo Rolled up a wooly and I watched Colombo Let me clear my throat - Kick it over here baby pop And let all the fly skimmies, feel the beat...mmm drop Coolin' on the corner on a hot summers day Just me, my posse and M.C.A. A lot of beer - a lot of girls - and a lot of cursing Twenty-two automatic on my person Got my hand in my pocket and my finger's on the trigger My posse's gettin' big - and my posse's gettin' bigger Some voices got treble - some voices got bass We got the kind of voices that are in your face Like the bun to the burger - like the burger to the bun Like the cherry to the apple - to the peach to the plum I'm the king of the Ave. - and I'm the king of the block I'm M.C.A. - and I'm the King Adrock I'm Mike D. - I got all the fly juice On the checkin' at the party on the forty deuce Walking down the block with the fresh fly threads Beastie Boys fly the biggest heads

Whoa... was there lots of snow at this show?

Robert looks niiice in that shirt. I wonder what Jim would've looked like in a Zeppelin shirt?

Maybe Robert found that to be a compliment!

I pick the Earls Court shows every time. I don't know why... just something about them just feels different to me than the other shows. Although my favorite 'No Quarter' is from June 21, 1977 in L.A. But I do agree that they always seem to put more into it whenever they played L.A. Maybe it was because of the "Badgeholders". J/K!

They're one of my fave bands to see live. Unfortunately it's been a long time since I've seen them. I can't wait for them to tour this Fall in North America.

Journey

los angeles

Yes yes yes and yes.

There's something uneasy for me seeing Carrot Top and Robert Plant in the same advertisement.

Sigh.... Robert Plant in Toronto.

Verve (The) - Bitter Sweet Symphony

Pat Benatar - Hit Me With Your Best Shot (work radio station)

Finally something soonish - either Def Leppard/Billy Idol on Aug 6th, and definitley maybe Oasis on Sept 9th.

Looks like the Film Festival is happening between Sept 4-13 this year in Toronto.

Yuppies

I'm curious how "Angels & Demons" is going to turn out.

Backstreet Boys - Quit Playing Games With My Heart

Knowing that the boss was away, so I could relax a little at work.

Unfortunately I wasn't.... but there's still time.

Mona Jimmy - love it! It does look a bit like the Mona Lisa. Excellect drawing Sugarplum!

I think I might pick Jonesy. I get the impression he'd be a pretty good friend.

I like the HTWWW version, but I love in the later years (around 1975) when Robert added the "Do it!" to the beginning.

Before I became a Zep fan, I never realized just how many times the phrase "It's been a long time since I...." was spoken.
