    I just watched that '98 live video, and before I had even scrolled down to see the next few comments, my impression of the show was that Audley is criminally underused.  There may or may not be guys who are a better fit for that band--  I'm not convinced there are -- but I don't think it would have mattered when there are already too many guys on the floor who need the ball in their hands (it's a strained metaphor, but you get it).

    I hired Audley to play on something a couple years ago, and I spent a few days with him.  I can't rave enough about him as a musician, as a masterful guitarist, and as a kind and thoughtful person (an opinion shared by pretty much everyone who works with him). 

    Thank you for taking the time to share. Very much appreciate hearing from someone a lot closer to the musician in question (Audley) than me. 

    To clarify a bit, I said there were guys who were a better fit because I find it impossible to believe there's a better fit for the Black Crowes than Marc Ford. I mentioned Damon Johnson specifically because he's always been one of my absolute personal favorites, and he has played in Alice Cooper's band and been a member of Thin Lizzy; I think that between his talent, his track record of sublimating his abilities in order to fit into an existing band's footprint, and his mention in one interview of literally wanting to be in the Black Crowes, he'd have worked out well. 

    But I don't know, the Robinson brothers are famous world-class assholes. Maybe Damon wouldn't have fit in with how they saw the band circa 1998-2001, because there is nothing specific about Audley Freed that lends itself to saying "oh, well here's why he didn't become an indispensable member of the band". The talent was there and, judging by what you're saying, his personality wasn't a problem. While I grant there are worse ways to make a living than as a hired gun lead guitarist for the Black Crowes, I've always thought it was a shame that his role was by all accounts limited to just that. Whether it would have made a difference or not, I personally think it could only have helped having Audley involved more deeply in the band's creative process. But I've never been in a downward-trending sibling-driven multi-platinum selling band before, so my opinion of how their creative process should have worked 20 years ago isn't particularly valuable.

    And then got a call from my best friend from high school, our other friend is in her last hours of hospice in Lakeway. Acute liver failure and alcoholic hepatitis at 46.

    I'd be surprised if some folks from surly didn't know her, or at least go to UT with her, she was the prototypical Austin party girl.

    Progressive, fatal disease.


     

    Shit. I'm 46, I went to UT, I live in Lakeway. The only reason that post's not about me, other than me not being a girl of any type prototypical or otherwise, is the grace of God.

    Sorry to hear that news, Schlong.

    Or that she believes it’s her duty as a wife to lie there and let her husband do his business for a couple minutes whenever he wants. And maybe she’s a member of a religious sect that doesn’t believe in birth control. And that sex is inherently dirty, an animal act, and only to be used for procreation and not for personal pleasure. She’s trapped in a loveless marriage to a man who couldn’t find her clitoris if he tried and doesn’t believe the female orgasm is a thing let alone that he might have a responsibility to pleasure her. So all she has is her love for her children and the only sexual satisfaction she ever gets is what she gives to herself over fantasies of the pool boy whenever no one else is around. 

    you're always fun to be around

    there is one single poster in this entire forum whom i would describe as "obsessed", and it's you. you are obsessed with Rick Barnes, you are obsessed with me, and you almost exclusively post about either him or me (often both), and it's always brought up out of nowhere in some unrelated thread. you might be the most sad, self deluded, worthless poster here, and what you're doing right now is called projection. you need to grow up dude. aren't in your 50's by now? find a new hobby, jesus. 

    at least you have an opinion of the dude. I saw his WE MUZZ PROTECK DIS HOUZ post and was like "who the fuck is this guy?"

    thank God the basketball board has someone looking out for it

  5. I would hold off lauding Shaka for not shitting on Texas in the short term. He hasn't been the subject of a fawning pre-season sit-down piece with The Athletic yet. He's not under any pressure during the honeymoon phase and doesn't need to deflect criticism or try to build himself up at anyone else's expense. Yet.

    Rob Riggle

    I was at a bar in Chicago 4ish years ago and he was there at the airport. He is not even the guy he plays in my 20 minutes around him. Very laid back. Guessing that laugh is part of his bit.

    were you able to injure him, or poison him (etc etc) when you got that level of access to him???

    You're on a message board.  Look at every post you make and every post others make.....it is all "fan" fiction.  

    They're both wastes of time; I understand one of them. Reading mock drafts, you could be spending that time trying to lick your own asshole.

  8. the emphasis on and fascination with mock drafts

    mock drafts are basically fucking fan fiction-- who in the fuck CARES who MIGHT take which player when? like no shit Denver might take Justin Fields, or look here's a mock draft and instead San Francisco makes a trade and takes him! Or New England or New Orleans or who the fuck reads this shit?
