    Is it that you just choose not to or you've listened to it and didn't like it?

    It's really a combination of things.  I don't like Brent's voice, original songs or his Casio tones from his earlier years with the band. The MIDI effects from the 90s also irritate me if I'm not in the right mood.  The Welnick w/o Hornsby years are a complete wash and I would never listen to another show from that period but for the GD channel. 

    89-91 is obviously lauded but it's never really grabbed me.  At some point I will do a deeper dive into those eras (Summer 89, Spring 90 and the September 91 MSG run with Hornsby), but I'm still working through the PNW 73 box and will receive another Dave's shortly thereafter! 

  2. I regularly listen to 75-78 and have almost all of the big shows from that period in my collection.  I also like a bunch of specific shows from 79-82 with May 81 as a particular preference in the era.  My listening does dry up significantly post-82.  It's kind of crazy how little of the second half of the band's career I listen to.

    There are a lot of Deadheads that won't listen to anything after 1970.  

    I have always been interested in these types of breakdowns.  The end of 70 strikes me as an odd delineation.  I would understand a break after Constanten left in early 70 which kind of ended the psychedelic era as they moved into the American Beauty/Workingman's era.

    I see the pre-hiatus eras as follows:

    67 -> 11/68 (Constanten's arrival) - Primal Dead

    11/68 -> 1/70 (Constanten's departure) - Psychedelic Dead 

    1/70 -> 3/72 (Donna's arrival) - The transition to peak GD.  Mickey leaves, Godchauxs arrive.  Overhaul of songbook

    3/72 - 10/74 (Hiatus) - Peak GD.  Europe 72, Wall of Sound, Veneta, The Honey Year.  Watkins Glen Soundcheck Jam.  Seastones.  WRS.  HCS.  Best versions of DS, TOO, PITB

  4. We had 5 clear pairings (DJ-Koepka, Spieth-Reed, Watson-Simpson, Fowler-Thomas, Woods-DeChambeau) and Furyk played 1 of them.  Historically awful captain who allowed the players to tell him what to do.  

    The team unity we had supposedly discovered was also revealed to be a complete sham.  

     

     

  5. USA's best start in Europe since 1989 . . . when the USA went on to lose the afternoon session 4-0.

    Feels like we really need a win from DJ/Ricky here in the first match or the session could get sticky.  Agree that matches 2 and 3 are entirely unpredictable

     

  6. The Friday and Saturday results from the last 5 Ryder Cups are as follows:

    Friday Foursomes 12.0 - 8.0 USA

    Friday Fourball 11.5 - 8.5 USA

    Total Saturday 23.5 - 16.5 USA

    Saturday Foursomes 12.5 - 7.5 EUR 

    Saturday Fourball 10.5 - 9.5 USA

    Total Saturday 22 - 18 EUR

    Total Friday and Saturday 41.5 - 38.5 USA

    On the other hand, the US has lost 5 of the last 6 Fridays and Saturdays in the last 3 Ryder Cups in Europe (Won 2010 Friday 5-3).

  7. Sitting for Session 1

    USA: Bubba, Webb, Phil and Bryson

    Euro: Poulter, Noren, Garcia and Stenson

    The U.S. picks aren't too surprising but no Noren or particularly Poulter is a gift to the USA imo.

    Match 1 is going to be a battle, but USA should be the favorite in 2, 3 and 4.  Anything less than 2.5 - 1.5 lead for the US will be a disappointment.

    are people hyping up marvel in here?  depends if we're talking commercial vs critical success... by and large most of them are copy and paste juvenile CGI trash

    Some of TLJ struck me as a pathetic attempt to "Marvelize" Star Wars.  I am specifically thinking about the cringe inducing exchange between Poe and Hux at the beginning of TLJ.

    I still haven’t seen Solo because TLJ pissed me off and I lost interest.  I went to TFA, R1 and TLJ on opening weekends.

    I also watched prequels 2 and 3 on cable after seeing The Phantom Menace in the theater for the same reason.  

    Bateshorn is exactly right.  When you make not just meh, but full on shitty movies at an alarming rate, then your fans are going to respond accordingly.

    This is exactly where I am.  Never got around to watching Solo because TLJ was so insultingly bad.  I enjoyed TFA, although it has zero "rewatchability" for me.  R1 is simply a great movie.  Based on this thread, it sounds like I need to watch Solo.

    TLJ isn't just a bad Star Wars movie.  It is among the worst movies of the decade and almost entirely responsible for the perceived box office failure of Solo.

    Palmer & Nicklaus weren't Magic. They were more like Wilt, Russell, KAJ, etc.

    Palmer was a superstar, arguably the most popular athlete of the 60s.  Nicklaus was also a huge star in the 60s and 70s. 

    Golf did lack star power in the US in the 80s and pre-Tiger 90s , although Tiger was THE athlete of the 00s.

    Has anyone else noticed that the apostrophe appears to be dying out, at least when it comes to the possessive? And it’s not just the apostrophe, but the “s”, too.

     

    It started with “baby momma”, it has spread to everything. “My mother boyfriend” or “my girlfriend son” and other aberrations now crop up in my Facebook feed with some regularity. While it was annoying, it is starting to grow on me. It is stripped down and functional, depending merely on the algebra of word order. Plus, while we lose some precision with the loss of that sibilance, we gain a wonderful opportunity for humor. “Mother girlfriend”? Lesbians or incest?

     

    Anyone given it much thought?

     

    Stop associating with the lower classes

    I agree with all of this.  Whatever happened at that party, left a mark on her. She recalled the event decades later in counseling with her husband, so it apparently impacted her relationships with men on some level. Something happened. A few decades removed from a traumatic event can surely shape the recall in ways, but something happened. You dont have to corroborate teh assault imo, place Kavanaugh there and its more than enough to conclude outside of a court of law that he assaulted her. 

    Wow.  That is insane.
