— LauraW Now fortified with 100% more nostalgic 90's lunacy.
The gay vampire look was very hip back then. Don't act like you don't remember.

I used to know what gay was. but now, there is a new definition of gay. The test? If you bitched about Clint Eastwoods appearance last night, you would certainly suck a dick a mile long.

So I accidently didn't submit my direct deposit info into the company system, and now they mailed a check to my old hotel address. If I'm lucky the check will be delivered today, and if not then it was already delivered to the hotel, which promptly returned it to sender. My credit card is almost maxed and my checking account is about dry. FML.

The 60's and 70's were not as diverse and some of the artists were still relevant in the 80's as well.
Heavy metal and all of it's derivations rap and all of it's derivations, punk and all of it's derivations came to form in the 80's and mixed with pop groups and solo artists from 80's and earlier.
The 80's really were a great time for music in general.

With the exception of classic 70's rock, the seventies sucked music-wise. Between disco and the James Taylor feely-namby-pamby pussy crap, I thank God every day that I only spent two full months in that godawful decade.
The sixties were okay. My dislike of the Beatles is already documented, but the early sixties had some really good stuff. There was other good music peppered throughout, too.
The eighties, on the other hand, RULED.
Then along came the nineties and sucked all over again.

Everybody keeps beating up on Clint and the scheduler who put him in prime time, but I wonder... what other feature could have drawn a larger audience for the speeches of Rubio and Romney? I'm guessing the programmers' discussion went something like this:
A: I don't know about this Clint Eastwood skit.... Seems kinda disjointed....
B: I don't care of Eastwood comes out and picks his nose for ten minutes! You want the choir nodding at the sermon, or you wanna get more sinners in to hear the Word?
A: Hey, I'm Jewish!
B: Yeah? Well, I'm Unitarian. Who gives a shit? Now, shut the fuck up and get Clint ready. Use a cattle prod if you have to.

Good song, such a stupid video. Was into Clapton and such back then. Never watched any videos, didn't have the time or interest. Always thought the videos pretty much wrecked the song.
Well, I confess I did make one exception. I did watch the Police when Sting was good lookin' but that's pretty much it.

There was one semi-disturbing moment, when Clint screamed “We own this country!” He got a standing ovation for that one, and it’s possible that the virtually all-white crowd was picking up a bit of Gran Torino you-know-what-I-mean-by-we.

I actually didn't care for Rubio's speech much. There was some great stuff about his family coming to America, but that was about it. People have grabbed onto the "He not a bad person, just a bad President" line (not an exact quote), but that struck me as having schoolyard mentality.
One quote I DID enjoy though, was a one-line commentary on ObamaCare, describing it as the sort of thing that caused our ancestors to leave the countries they came from. It reminded me of a line from Ryan's speech, which said something like that it "had no place in a free society".
I liked Ryan's speech the best, but I don't concern myself with the tear-jerky "what a great guy" stuff. I don't care if he loves his mom (although that's nice) - I just need him to get the policy right. But I realize that that's just me, and that this is how they needed to play it.

I was 10 in 1990, but I really can't stand most 90's music. It grates on my nerves. The 80's have my heart, followed by the 50's, then the "early decades" (20's thru 40's).
You do not want to be anywhere near my car when "Alone" by Heart, "We Belong" by Pat Benatar, or "The Warrior" by Patty Smyth comes on the radio. You WILL go deaf.

Roxy Music and Eno came from the 70s. They were enough for two decades on their own.
Here's a little Brian Ferry, much later, doing a classic Roxy tune "Out of the Blue" with a kick-ass violin solo:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nnA72_kSkE&feature=related
Roxy's first five albums and Eno's first three solo albums are among the greatest of all time.

Back in the days of For Your Pleasure, sure, but Brian Ferry became a caricature of himself a long time ago. Same thing that happened to guys like David Byrne, Morissey, heck even Sting, although I never liked the Police.
It's hard to stay original for decades. Which is why I give guys like Robert Smith some credit. Or Pete Gabriel.

For Your Pleasure was awesome. Grey Lagoons is one of my favorite songs of all-time.
Ferry took a bit of a musical walk-about later (though I liked a lot of it) but he still has the voice and does the old stuff as well as ever.
I agree, Peter Gabriel is great. And I do love his wife's voice. Not too many of her songs, but a hell of a voice that really hits home on a few.

Posted by: ThePrimordialOrderedPair at August 31, 2012 08:26 AM (X3lox)
Sam Elliot in Gettysburg delivered one of my favorite movie soliloquies of all time as General Buford:
"You know whats going to happen here in the morning? The whole damn reb army is going to be here. They'll move through this town, occupy these hills on the other side and when our people get here Lee will have the high ground. There will be the devil to pay! The high ground! Meade will come in slowly, cautiously. New to command. They'll be on his back in Washington. Wire hot with messages 'Attack! Attack!'. So he will set up a ring around these hills. And when Lee's army is nicely entrenched behind fat rocks on the high ground, Meade will finally attack, if he can coordinate the army. Straight up the hillside, out in the open, in that gorgeous field of fire. We will charge valiantly... and be butchered valiantly! And afterwards men in tall hats and gold watch fobs will thump their chest and say what a brave charge it was. Devin, I've led a soldier's life, and I've never seen anything as brutally clear as this.
Just reading that makes me tear up.
And I submit the way Sam Elliot says "the high ground!" as one of the hottest things ever said on film.

The one great thing about that Cure song when I was a radio DJ for AFRTS back in the day - well, there were two great things about it - was that it was a natural for playing on Friday. And the other best thing about it was that the instrumental up-ramp for it was nearly a whole minute long. I could make that the last song of the hour on my playlist, and do my outro, promo the next hour and read about half of the spot reader book over that up-ramp.
Good times, people ... good times.

Back in the 80s, country music had a bit of a revival with Randy Travis, Clint Black, but I mostly agree with you. Urban Cowboy diluted and destroyed country music. Incidentally, any time "He stopped Loving Her Today" isn't in the top 10 country songs of all time on anybody's list is a dark day for America.

If we're talking about music that makes one want to break all traffic laws and just ZOOOOM!, I have to admit mine is "Don't Fear the Reaper." As soon as I hear that intro, it's ON.
Also, I don't know why, but this thread has made me want to listen to "Don't Pay the Ferryman."

Too much of it sounds the same, and I can't stand a lot of it, but he has a few excellent songs: "We've Got Tonight," "Even Now," and (the massively over-played) "Hollywood Nights" and "Night Moves."

Guess I'm the only Springsteen fan here. (ducks) Saw him at Fenway Park two weeks ago and it was incredible, he did mostly 70s stuff and all the oldtime fans like me ate it up. His new album is his best since "The Rising." Guy is 62 and still brings it every night. The worst part of going to his shows is all the idiots who just want to hear "Born in the USA" and bitch when he plays "Does This Bus Stop at 82d Street?" or some other chestnut from the 70s.

Democrats have feared for years that one of the particular challenges of running campaigns in 2012 would be simply locating their voters. The partyÂ’s constituencies (young people, immigrants, minorities) tend to be among the most mobile demographic groups. And as NPR speculated this week in an analysis of battleground-state foreclosure figures, the housing crisis will likely only have made things more difficult for Democrats looking for their supporters.
New data from Milwaukee give an indication of how dire the DemocratsÂ’ disappearing-voter problem already is. This spring, the League of Young Voters, which was created to mobilize young minority communities, collaborated with the liberal Wisconsin Voices coalition to dispatch teams of young canvassers. Starting in April, they spent eight weeks knocking on 120,882 doors across 208 of MilwaukeeÂ’s 317 wards to raise awareness of the gubernatorial recall election scheduled for June. The doors had one thing in common: the voter file said they were all home to a registered voter whom a commercial data vendor had flagged as likely to be African-American.
But the voter file represented a fiction, or at least a reality that had rapidly become out of date.

Convention musings:
This was a successful convention.
Ryan's coming out party was a success. Mitt's acceptance speech was a success. Eastwood got a lot of attention, and upped the listeners fro Romney. He also wounded Obama and Obama made a fool of himself by responding to a Hollywooder who's not running for anything. This tells the Romney camp to keep finding surrogates to mock Mr. Thin-Skin.
The only thing I heard about protestors was them dressing up like vaginas and making fools of themselves.
Now comes the campaign. Undecided voters are just now starting to pay attention.
The convention ball is in the democrat's court. I say they blow it with all the war on women crud.

Indeed, apart from a number of wars in which he shone greatly, he conducted himself gracefully and magnificently in three matters:
The first is, that he married his daughter to the Roman Emperor with unutterable splendor.
The second, that going to Rome he arranged a reduction by a half in toll dues along the road that leads though Gaul to Rome.
The third, that with the greatest vigor he commanded that his chair should be set on the shore, when the tide began to rise. And then he spoke to the rising sea saying “You are part of my dominion, and the ground that I am seated upon is mine, nor has anyone disobeyed my orders with impunity. Therefore, I order you not to rise onto my land, nor to wet the clothes or body of your Lord”. But the sea carried on rising as usual without any reverence for his person, and soaked his feet and legs. Then he moving away said: “All the inhabitants of the world should know that the power of kings is vain and trivial, and that none is worthy the name of king but He whose command the heaven, earth and sea obey by eternal laws”. Therefore King Cnut never afterwards placed the crown on his head, but above a picture of the Lord nailed to the cross, turning it forever into a means to praise God, the great king. By whose mercy may the soul of King Cnut enjoy peace.
Frankly, there is no proof that any body can slow the rise of the oceans. As for healing the planet, placing solar panels all over the Western US is anything but a healing venture.

Anybody remember them getting in trouble after the murders on the Long Island Railroad? Black racist shoots at least a dozen people, kills several and is captured by the passangers as he attempts to reload. Targeted whites and left a note saying he hated them. One of the Living Color guys says he sees why he did it. A Baltimore DJ flatly refused to play the band that day and announced why. He then got the backing of the station. Pretty sure they forced an apology.

Bruce Springsteen.
Thunder Road almost makes me cry sometimes, it is a song from my youth.
I have seen him in concert several times, but the last was in 1980. He's a great stage performer, but is kind of a jerk, and not just because he's become an outspoken lefty jerk. There's more to this, but for me, I have outgrown him.
I understand the attraction, because I felt it once. But as the song goes, "those days are gone forever, over a long time ago, oh yeah...."
The BEST live show I have ever seen was Dire Straits. I would pay to see Mark Knopfler anytime

For some strange reason, some Brits pronounce the word "cinema" as "cinemar". They add that R on the end of it and make it sound weird.
I was over in England in the early part of this year and I asked about how many different dialects there were. The two guys I asked were stumped because they couldn't count that high. There are about 30 different accents and dialects within the same postal code, depending on which side of the street you lived on.
Oh, and there's a Scottish lady at work I sometimes have to talk to. I try and get her on the phone as much as I can because her Scot-fu is strong and thick. It's like she's making up words.

Yep. My older brother--who was kind of my father figure before he was stabbed to death by his girl friend--taught me how to drive listening to Springsteen's "Darkness on the Edge of Town." He even had a Camaro and was into the "Racing in the Streets"-type stuff.
"Born in the USA" was already out by then, but my brother had Springsteen's older stuff. On eight-track. And that's what he played.
When I bought my second car--my first fun one--early Springsteen is what I played when just driving it around into the wee-wee hours of the morning.
For all that, I ignore the many disappointments since. For example, although I think Patti Sciafla (sp?) is a much better match for him than Julianne Phillips, I thought the way he swapped them out was not the behavior of a man who claims to espouse so much idealism. You can talk (and sing) all the good principles you want, but you'd better live them.

Funny. Does anybody remember some world concert that Sting, Springsteen, Peter Gabriel and some other guy (famous, foreign black musician or some such) did? Probably back in the late 80's, early 90's. They were concerting all over "the world" to lecture, er, plead with people to pay attention to bad stuff going on all over the place (can't remember the exact cause; is that relevant?).
Anyway, Sting was with Trudie but not divorced from his wife, Sprinsteen was with Patty and still married to Julianne, and Gabriel was travelling with Rosana Arquette and he was a married. I remember thinking that here these three sucktards are, asking people to commit to some lofty worldly cause when they can't commit to the most basic, important relationship in their life. Ironic, no?

Exactly. I remember People or something running a photo of Springsteen hanging out on a balcony in just his underwear with Patty in the back. He was still married to Julianne and hadn't even filed for divorce or anything.
Not only the infidelity, but not giving a shit about hurting someone you dedicated your previous album to as providing you with the best year of your life.
(I'm not a Julianne Phillips fan, but I didn't marry her either.)

At the Fenway Park show, Springsteen opened with the original solo-piano version of "Thunder Road" that is the first song on the "Live 75-85" box set. Most beautiful thing I ever heard. I could have left right after that and been happy. It's still the greatest rock song ever written IMO. Every few years, WXPN in Philly does a countdown of the top rock songs and "Thunder Road" always comes out #1.

My favorite Cure song is "Killing an Arab". I like to weird out my lead man by singing it to myself whenever he comes near my machines at work. He's not an Arab, he's just a nervous cat whenever he comes to ask me anything. I doubt if he's ever heard of "The Stranger" either.

Some writers have a couple stories in different stages. And when blocked will see if they can write the other story.
The NaNoWriMo contest is to get one to the finish line. In my cabin, one person started strong and put up 18k words and then stopped. Another has 700 words and yet another 0. I am the closest to the finish line with 44.5k words. So yes back to writing.

Dangit, AtC- based on your endorsement I'm going to have to check my premises on the guh guhs, and might even end up liking them.
But even if that happens, will NEVER change my opinion of the lead singer's (rzeznik?) neo-Flock of Seagulls hairdon't. Eeeeesh.

You ever seen the Documentary on the Plaster Casters?
Learned more than I ever wanted to know about Huey.
He lives right down the road from me. Years ago I guided him and his drummer fishing on the local river.
Funny day. He doesn't appreciate being spoken to entirely in his own lyrics.

I just watched Clint's piece again. Classic. Better every time. My favortie part was when he told InvisibleObama, matter-of-factly, "You're absolutely crazy," and then went into the Biden bits. Golden.
Clint wasn't giving a speech, he was performing a one man / one act play. It wasn't about telling viewers a blatant message; it was about convencing them that it's ok to view Obama in a negative light and guiding them along in doing so.

Bauhaus.
It was about time someone said that.
Yes, Garret. I agree.
They are on my Ipod as well.
