  1. Past hour
  2. Meh, needs more Hot Rod
  3. Csb The RRISD sax “technique teacher” when I was in MS and HS was friends with Denis DiBlasio, the bari sax player for Maynard Ferguson. I, too, was a bari sax player. DiBlasio was in town and agreed to play in with our HS jazz band. Denis had an idea that we’d do a cross handed thing where we were both playing both saxes. I did not pick it up the first time and he concluded “screw it, we’ll do something else.” Anyhow, we played Coconut Champagne - I did the first solo - he played a 2nd solo for about 5 minutes. He was sensational. I was a high schooler who was afraid to fuck up in front of a famous person. Wish I had cared a little less about that at that time. Another time, Maynard played at Westlake high school and we all got to meet him. He’s more impressive in person that on his records. /csb Another trivia nugget - Gregg Bissonnette was the drummer for Maynard at that time. After, he was drummer for David Lee Roth, Joe Satriani, Andy Summers, Steve Lukather, Steve Vai, among many others. https://youtu.be/hGQWCR6jFZ4?si=HWAGsJ7jymc6Jgc-
  4. Bidet thread is that way—->
  5. Robin Trower is still kicking at 80.
  6. 3 hit night for trammell
  7. He can’t do anything about it. This is a big nothingburger until and unless Congress gets off their fat lazy asses and does something
  8. Way to build the anticipation Diaz
  9. The cardboard fans were gay af.
  10. You seem like an innumerate phi-listine
  11. My biggest problem is that we play all of these shitty teams from all over the country at home. If you are going to play shit teams at least make them local. UTEP, UTSA, UTA, UNT, Rice, Lamar, Tarleton could all be played in place of all 8 of those home games with little difference in outcome. Or better yet do some 2 for 1 contracts with inferior teams that would be great travel destinations for the fans.
  12. Correct, and Powell told him as much when he first mentioned this bullshit in like February. The goal is to put enough pressure on Powell to get him to resign. I don’t think it will work.
  13. The two things in the entertainment world I hated most about Covid: cancelled a Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson show I had tickets to at the Erwin Center that was never re-scheduled and A’s being the AL West champs in a 60 game season breaking up what would otherwise be an 8 year division championship streak (assuming we kicked it in gear and stopped fucking around playing .500 ball all year)
  14. My understanding is that he can't fire Powell.
  15. So they ruled Anne Burrell a suicide with a mix of benedryl, alcohol, Zyrtec, and meth in her blood. This seems like a weird combination for an intentional deed. Any docs got a comment on that. She had money and could have called any restaurant and got any drug on earth. Everyone said she was in good spirits.,
  16. You can't stop the metal
  17. Buzzrock

    Ozzy has passed.

    I’m gonna have to disagree with “didn’t have a great singing voice.” But it’s all subjective. Is there any scary music any more? I mentioned earlier that I encountered Sabbath in Jr High and it scared me a little. Same for Shout at the Devil in middle school. I remember finding Pantera and Slayer a little shocking until I fell in love with them. Are there any bands doing that to kids these days? I hope so. Maybe we need a new PMRC.
  18. Trump signs executive order related to paying players. I had no idea this problem was within his reach... Try not to CR this thread. With all the money that is now flowing through college sports, I have to think someone (athlete, agent, AD, etc) will challenge this. https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/24/sport/college-athletics-executive-order-spt
  19. The rose goes in the front. big guy.
  20. But Tommy Pham is such a great locker room guy. Wait....
  21. Seattle getting Naylor.
