  1. Back when we had regulations on that sort of thing?
  2. ISOTLC has sitar. It passes the acid test with flying colors.
  3. In what world is Dark Side not a concept album? I’ve never heard that questioned. The Wall is more explicitly so but Dark Side is an icon of a concept album. One of the most important albums of all time Some others: Frank Zappa - Joe’s Garage; Moody Blues - In Search of the Lost Chord; Spirit - 12 Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus (awesome album despite the concept being poorly defined). Give me Quadrophenia over Tommy all day every day. I’m not disputing Tommy as a concept album but it just doesn’t do it for me like Quadrophenia. That’s a masterpiece. I don’t know if it counts but my parents had a copy of Peter & The Wolf when I was a kid and that was part of my musical foundation. They didn’t have much in the way of good music but that was a good one. They also had the soundtrack to West Side Story. That’s just a play. But so is Peter & The Wolf, right? And so are Quadrophenia and Joe’s Garage and The Wall, right? Labels are useful when talking about music but they can get fuzzy on the edges. I think we can safely say the West Side Story soundtrack is not a concept album. But how about this? I used to have this on vinyl. A college roommate bought it on CD. It’s pretty good. I haven’t read the whole thread. I see the Styx mention but I’m not sure which album you’re talking about. I assume Kilroy Was Here? That counts but I don’t think it was executed very well. I think Paradise Theater was the better effort. I haven’t listened to it in a long time but I still own that one. And I saw them live on the Kilroy tour. That was one of my first three concerts. I think it was my third after Rush and REO Speedwagon. It was a good show.
  4. You should change that story and say that he won the tickets.
  5. I know. And I know you know. I’m just saying. And pounding my head on the wall. I just wish it all would stop.
  6. Bringing it on? A small part to be sure. You do know that we played a role in the Afghan insurgency, right? Funded the Taliban? Gave them weapons? Wiped our hands and walked away and let the nutjobs take over? A straight line can be drawn from mismanagement by the elder Bush to that of his idiot son and 9/11. The collapse of the Soviet Union was always going to happen. Every U.S. president since the fall of the Axis in WWII had a hand in it. Anyone who doesn’t give a big fat heaping helping of credit to Gorbachev is probably living on domestic propaganda alone. Recommended reading:
  7. Just closing out a tab. Here’s another good episode of Weir Here.
  8. Tripping and falling face-first into the toilet while choking on a KFC chicken bone would be perfect. Bonus points if there were boxes of unretrieved stolen classified documents nearby.
  9. Yep. As predictable as Putin blaming an Islamic terrorist attack on Ukraine.
  10. <spit-take.gif> The Taliban would like a word with you. So would the Shia and Kurdish uprising in Iraq whose members were mowed down by Saddam’s helicopters, unrestricted by Bush’s “no fly” policy. And look where Russia is now. I don’t think Bush’s policies of generally washing his hands and walking away like the jobs were finished are commendable at all.
  11. lolwut? “Take the L?” Overreact much?
  12. It will suck. Save your money. You're welcome.

  14. If he was actually a good student, he’d let us see his college transcripts.
  15. I need guidance on serving chili (or any other soups, stews, etc in cold weather) the next day in a crock pot/slow cooker. I figure this is the better place to ask than that other thread. I’ve done some googling but I don’t feel confident in any of that advice. I’m thinking of two scenarios. One where there are a few hours between setup and serving. Can the chili go in cold and will the crock pot heat it to serving temp in a few hours? The second is a setting where the chili will need to be hot and ready to serve within 2 hrs at most. I assume it needs to be heated to serving temp first then left on low heat until serving time. I have no experience in any of this and don’t know what I don’t know. I have only assumptions. I’m thinking ahead to November so I have lots of time for trial and error. I don’t even own a slow cooker yet and have to consider the purchase of that hardware. What’s your process?
  16. That and black men don’t belong on the golf course.
