  1. Back in my trading days, any RR tion was about as prized of a get as I could come across.
  2. Had the exact same thought. A lot of those I haven’t drank since I was 19
  3. I stopped at Zilker last time I was in Austin (en route to 2018 Alamo Bowl). Damn good beer.
  4. Nah. I want Utah to hang around long enough to get their shit shoved up their asses in one of the numerous Plains backwaters they're so opposed to associating with.

    I would have loved to hear the Mats play World Class Fad.
  6. The only thing it's missing are his reaction tweets from when the schools actually left.

    Bumping this thread. What are people's thoughts on Westerberg's solo material? I've been down that rabbit hole a ton lately and while I don't think he made any great solo albums, there are absolutely staggering songs littered through that solo career.
  8. Yeah, I wouldn't call Prince (or any solo artist) a front man. Mick's the goat on the front. I think Plant, Daltrey, DLR, Bon Scott are all in the conversation, but it's absolutely Mick. I love Rod and the Faces, but he was onto the solo thing so quickly that I don't view him really as a front man even though he was for a couple of years.
  9. Same, but I also know lots of guys who work at the co-op or a factory and drive big diesels just because they have small dicks.
  10. Clemson’s fatwa on the Big 12 is taking down future members now
  11. 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.
  12. Yeah, having recruiting connections in both Texas and the Midwest makes him a really, really good fit in Stillwater.
  13. Dudes who drive diesel pickups and never pull anything with them are definitely a trivial thing that makes me surly.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. That could get my ass back into the Soda Stream game.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. That's a power lunch right there.
