  1. Clemson’s fatwa on the Big 12 is taking down future members now
  2. Absolutely. I'm not quite exactly sure on the timing of him and Keef becoming buds, and if it precedes Beggar's (which is IMO their first real foray into country) or if he showed up prior to LIB. Either way, their friendship took Keef way down the rabbit hole and gave rise to the best country music ever made by people who weren't from North America.
  3. Yeah, having recruiting connections in both Texas and the Midwest makes him a really, really good fit in Stillwater.
  4. Dudes who drive diesel pickups and never pull anything with them are definitely a trivial thing that makes me surly.
  5. I think they've been distributed nationally for a long time. Our small town grocery store in north Iowa sold them in the 80's-90's when I was a kid.
  6. With diesel farm equipment we almost never shut them off to fuel mid-day, due to the low risk of diesel igniting and the wear and tear saved on the engine. But with gas, I won't fuck with an engine running while fueling.
  7. I'd file that under "solid but not flashy". It probably won't get the immediate splash that hiring someone like Alford would, but I think it would probably work out better in the long run. The guy has taken some pretty out of the way places into the Dance.
  8. Exactly. Woody fits and grooves with Keith better than anyone else, but you just wouldn't get "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" with anyone other than Mick Taylor.
  9. That could get my ass back into the Soda Stream game.
  10. Yeah, that's not much of an argument. That said, the Stones best work came with Mick Taylor. He was the perfect foil for Keith, IMO.
  11. I'm not saying that he was useless to the Beatles and that they would have been as good with someone else, but I AM saying that the credit he gets is excessive. George and Paul were better musicians, singers, and songwriters. Ringo was a better musician and singer. To many people, John Lennon is the definitive Beatle. To me, he's the guy that brings the least to the band.
  12. That's a power lunch right there.
  13. My Beatles take for this thread is that John Lennon is the worst member of the band, and not all that compelling of an artist in general. He was a self absorbed sociopath who hit women and somehow became the face of "peace and love, man". He was third place (at best) in everything he did for the band (guitar, vocals, songwriting) and was the worst musician overall of the 4. Everything he did in the Beatles, multiple other members did better. And he was a shit person to top it off.
  14. This is an unpopular opinion?
  15. And of course, the cover so original that it preceded the original's release.
  16. Even Bush had a cover on Letterman or something that I like. It's from the height of their popularity and instead of playing one of their own Nirvana rip-offs they were just like "nah, we're doing the greatest fucking song of all time".
  17. They're big co2. I honestly don't remember the cost, but it was cheap as hell for the amount of uses. IIRC you didn't have to refill it, but the cost of a new bottle really cut into the savings.
  18. You got a lot more than one liter out of a fill on the soda streams. At least as I recall it. It's been 5-6 years at this point.
  19. I have absolutely no clue who that person is, and I'm probably glad about that.
  20. This might be an unpopular opinion, but at this point it's on him. And who in their right mind would want to live with their parents while married? I barely understand single people over the age of 18 living with their parents.
  21. That's a step down from what was getting thrown around in the early rumor mill, but he's had a pretty solid last half a decade.
