  1. It's been a pretty interesting Spring for sure. Epic weather conditions in Paris-Nice, and poor Jonas. A thrilling Milan San Remo for sure. Love watching that Tadej - we've come a long way since the Chris Froome 'stare at your powermeter' winner. That kid likes to race. A wacky Volta Catalunya - several mountain stages ended with sprint finishes, with Primoz outside the top spot by a second. He was counting on a mountain stage which was neutralized due to wind (and won by Durango's Quinn Simmons, sporting the best mullet and Fu seen in the peloton for some time). What looked to be a ho-hum circuit around Barcelona ended up being a slug fest as Primoz and Ayuso went for spring bonus seconds. I didn't think Primoz, or Bora, had it in them, but his flyer at 20k to win it all was impressive. Paris Roubaix should be a hoot with Tadej in it. Hoping for a good race and no injuries to late-season favorites...
  2. Next year’s performance - Lee Greenwood, Live From Lincoln Center - is going to be fantastic.
  3. God bless those Oil and Gas companies.
  4. Me when I see another post discussing if rap is music.
  5. Not remotely my genre, but I try to stay current to have a mutual vocabulary with my teen. It was a thing. Ain’t no Prince in the rain for sure, but it is ‘of the moment’.
  6. I am currently.
  7. How long is Brad going to talk?
  8. I mean, that’s fair and there was much pride in having them here - I very much miss ‘The Town’ jerseys. As they became more successful the O got more corporate, and more expensive. I’ve yet to go to a game in the new place, hear it’s great but it is a different vibe. But none of that I think had a huge impact on the fan base (at least not the crazies I know!).
  9. As one of the people in bold there, and surrounded by many more of them, nah.
  10. Yeah. One of those things is not like the other. There’s been no appreciable dip in the Warriors fan base. Sure, the ‘move’ stung but mostly because the ticket prices went up so damn much. You can practically see the old arena from the new one across the Bay. It’s like relocating the Mavericks arena to Irving. But the A’s are dead to everybody I think. Way too much bad blood there. I think there will always be die hard Oakland Raider fans, but not the A’s.
  11. Pediatric patient onboard, per CNN.

    Unfortunate mic issues at the beginning, but I love her (also with them). Obligatory:

    It was this interview years ago which helped me understand what he was really doing back there. Daltry geeking out about how he played the melody, and then the 'break' plain and straight. Start @1:27.

    Man that’s tough. You can chart so many of their influences into modern drummers. I don’t know what Moon was doing half the time (live). Maybe he didn’t either. I think he’s was trying to play the melody. I’ll admit early on not appreciating Bonham as much as I do now. Amazing combo of dexterity, flow and swing when he wanted to. Probably Bonbam.

    Huge Police fan. Copeland is one of my favorite living drummers. Enjoyed quite a bit of Sting’s solo work, and his tour with Vinnie Colaiuta was great. He’s such an ass and I hate this neutered version of that music he’s been trotting out.

    And I’ll be a cunt and ask if someone would pay so that Sting doesn’t play. So there’s that.

    Nah. All good. My feelings about him changed when I saw his SRV induction performance. I think he’s one of those guys who frankly is slumming a bit (to massive appeal). Wish he used those chops a little more often.

    I don’t like Mayers music, but he’s a damn fine guitar player. His performance was freaking great.

    Yeah, that was a re-do almost of the RRHOF induction concert. Great stuff. Lots of spry 65-80 year olds on the stage tonight. Inspiring.
  20. As always, Blancolirio is a great source of information.
  21. Eerily similar to an incident in 2013, same runway approach with another military helicopter.
