  1. Null and void...that's harsh, lol. I will absolutely agree with "In The Light" and "Caroulselambra" as being two of the best (keyboards as well as Zep songs, period)! From the poll, that i didn't post a vote (sorry) i would pick "No Quarter"...
  2. The Caribbean sounds good, too! That makes me re-think bringing the toddler along!!! I'm doing fine and hope you are, too!
  3. Hey Medhb, how are you? Wanna take that trip to FLA or maybe "dixie" with me? lol...winter is for kids! Where in dixie do you guys suggest anyway?
  4. Bush thought it was funny because he has the mentality of a child. Okay, that's understood by most of us. All i can say is i can relate to the way that person throwing the shoe feels. I'm not condoning violence or disrespect, but if anyone has "earned" that level of contempt, it's George W. Bush. Good post, Nathan.
  5. I have already had enough of winter weather. I don't enjoy the cold. When i get my tax return money, i am going to plan a vacation to Florida (hopefully in March) so i can get a bit of springtime early.
  6. The highest quality cake you can buy, lol. Actually, i have been to a few birthday parties where the cake came from a food market, and i personally find it to taste lousy. If you can't afford a bakery, bake it yourself. I, of course agree with everyone who feels sorry for this kid. It will suck for him growing up in a deeply prejudice home as well as having a horribly offensive name to live with. I doubt he will get out of his prison as an adult. These parents are nurturing a new generation of racists. That is likely what this boy will become.
  7. Meeting Across The River...Bruce
  8. Led Zeppelin and The Beatles tie for two favorites Genesis Bruce Springsteen The Rolling Stones U2 The Cure Cocteau Twins Pink Floyd The Moody Blues
  9. Free Four...Pink Floyd and yes kak, you are my Clash friend...
  10. Thank you maven2blue... I'm guessing you are also a fellow hippie?
  11. Lay Your Hands On Me...Peter Gabriel (very profound song)
  12. Kashmir is a journey, i think you can certainly find what you need from that song. In a hurry or i would try to think a little harder. Good luck with your project. btw...John Lennon and The Beatles have many songs you could use!
  13. and all this time i thought a kakdaddy was a pimp
  14. Layla...Derek and the Dominoes I just love that song so much! I skip the Eric Clapton unplugged version, though. Edit: Ministry do a killer version of Bob Dylan's song.
  15. For my Clash friend... Shoud I stay or should i go
  16. My daughter and i love this song, so when i first heard this news i was disappointed. But seems, this could be quite innocent and i found this article interesting. No comment on the similarity since i don't recall the Satriani song (once lived with a Satch fan, but i never really listened to his music much). I do love a Marty Balin ballad, but don't know of this song either. http://www.canada.com/topics/entertainment...html?id=1067336 Joe Satriani and Coldplay clash over tune plagiarism allegationsAdam Mcdowell, Canwest News Service Published: Friday, December 12, 2008 Perhaps members of Coldplay sense that it's at least possible that they've taken a lick from Joe Satriani's fingers without even knowing it. On Tuesday, the band posted a rebuttal on its official website, stating: "With the greatest possible respect to Joe Satriani, we have now unfortunately found it necessary to respond publicly to his allegations. If there are any similarities between our two pieces of music, they are entirely coincidental, and just as surprising to us as to him. Joe Satriani is a great musician, but he did not write or have any influence on the song 'Viva La Vida.' We respectfully ask him to accept our assurances of this and wish him well with all future endeavours." Considering that it would be perfectly acceptable practice in the British music business to say simply, "We've never heard of Joe Satriani, so sod off," Coldplay's response is pretty measured. The Satriani-Coldplay plagiarism suit may be further complicated by a 1981 single by Marty Balin, formerly of the 1960s and '70s band Jefferson Airplane. (Getty Images) Font:****Complicating matters in the Satriani-Coldplay affair is a 1981 single by Marty Balin, formerly of the 1960s and '70s band Jefferson Airplane. Called "Hearts," some believe it sounds like "Viva La Vida" and "If I Could Fly" -- and it predates both. One wonders if Balin is preparing a lawsuit of his own -- or if Satriani is wondering whether he's ever heard the song. Are Coldplay plagiarists, victims of the human tendency to remember melodies without recalling their source, or neither? That's the question to be considered by a California court now that Satriani, the guitar virtuoso, has launched a lawsuit against Coldplay. Last Thursday, Satriani filed papers alleging the light-rockers ripped off a melody from "If I Could Fly" and reused it in the chorus of the "Viva La Vida" single, released last May. Before we fly off to wild conclusions, it should be said that it's surprisingly easy to unconsciously steal melodies and song structures. It's a phenomenon called cryptomnesia and it happens with regularity. Though the possible sequences of musical notes may be practically limitless from a mathematical perspective, the number of combinations that actually work is much more constrained. Toronto-based classical composer James Rolfe, president of the Canadian League of Composers, says, "The reality in music is that everyone borrows from everyone else. There's only so many ways, especially in a pop song, that you can do a hook, a chorus, or use the same words about love. It's almost guaranteed that there will be certain things that sound exactly alike, whether it's conscious or unconscious." Moreover, Rolfe says it's easy to be left wondering whether an idea is one's own or someone else's. "I know there are a good number of musicians who are driven nuts by that kind of thing." The law has recognized that accidents happen. k.d. lang successfully got a retroactive song credit from the The Rolling Stones for recycling the hook from her 1992 hit "Constant Craving" in their 1997 single "Anybody Seen My Baby?" -- apparently unintentionally. George Harrison was found to have unwittingly copied The Chiffons' "He's So Fine" with his 1970 track "My Sweet Lord," marking the only known instance of a girl group's pop song being subconsciously recycled as a hymn to the Hindu deity Krishna. The fear of stealing is strong enough that another Beatle, Paul McCartney, sat on "Yesterday" -- one of the biggest pop songs ever -- for a month while he tried to figure out whether he'd unconsciously stolen it. Turns out, he hadn't. Andrew Lloyd Webber was sued in 1998 for allegedly stealing music by Baltimore songwriter Ray Repp in the composition of Phantom of the Opera. At the trial, Lloyd Webber revealed that he goes out of his way to avoid hearing other people's music. "I hate it when (there's music) in a restaurant or in a car or a taxi. My driver has instructions never to have the radio on," he told a Manhattan courtroom. The jury found in his favour.
  17. Back at you! My best friend (at the time) and I would watch the show ( I think it was on Thursday night at 10pm) while on the phone with each other! Then we would talk about it at work the next day, lol.
  18. Believe me, i thought about including him, but was afraid i might get teased by some people if i did, Nice to see you !!!
  19. Many from the past, in no particular order: TV: Basil Fawlty and Prunella Scales (especially John Cleese) Ralph Kramden and Alice (the Honeymooners, duh) Haley Vaughn and Mateo (Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, AMC) Paige (Nicollette Sheridan, Knots Landing) Tony Micelli and Angela Bower (Who's the Boss?) Jordan Catallano and Angela (My So Called Life) Roger Moore (The Saint) Bret Michaels playing himself (Rock of Love)...current Tweety Bird as himself Movies: Clint Eastwood (the man with no name in his spaghetti westerns) Ralph Fiennes and Kristen Scott Thomas in "The English Patient" Keanu Reeves as Neo Bono in "Rattle and Hum"
  20. LOL, sorry i didn't warn you sooner (but in my defense, i didn't know you)! It was a good movie, have you seen it? Being someone who does alot of helping others with "ADL's" i can understand the frustration you felt. As for courts, well even they can't get blood from a stone :) In all sincerity, i do wish you the best in finding a brighter future!
  21. You could have avoided this whole mess if you only took Eddie Murphy's words of wisdom in 1987... just trying to cheer you up. If you haven't seen the movie you might find it funny (great stand-up)... your pet peeve reminds me of mine...the men who don't pay child support. I'm sure glad i don't have the desire to count on anyone like that...
  22. Stop mooching off the company and get back to work!!! Oh and i hope you feel better soon, too!
  23. I hope your dog does great in P.T. and is feeling good really soon! Injury to the anterior cruciate ligament is very painful and can be very debilitating (i had a minor injury to mine that thankfully healed without needing surgery, but i know of others who had a long recovery period). I would imagine for a dog who doesn't know when it's time to relax and let their legs rest, it must have been quite difficult. Glad you took care of him now, and next time don't let it wait! Sorry for the lecture signed... a fellow animal lover!
