Re: Linda Ronstadt diagnosed with Parkinson's

Daaaaamm,what a bad piece of business. Bad s***, that disease.

One of my first cassette tapes (back then) ever was her greatest hits collection. I also have the CD. Great times, in the 70's.

Think I'll play it tonight.

If I counted right and I included diving, because I don't know what the age requirement is, but they look really young too---China could lose as many as 11 medals if everyone is underage :-? I don't think the entire team is under 16, I do think some just look young. Hell, so did ours for a number o...

Re: Bob Costas

Bob Costas has been cracking me up. He looked so proud of himself tonight when he was able to us the line that the American track team had "laid an egg in the birds nest". I didn't watch Bob Costas last night, so I'm curious: Was he referring to the rotten-egg performance of the US 4 x 10...

Yes, absolutely. I hadn't been to Newport or the Folk Festival there in ages, and I needed a little vacation. Besides, as said previously, I didn't go there just for JB - there were several other artists there I wanted to see as well. But Jake Shimabukuro stole the show for me with his mind-blowing ...

Re: Newport Not What Was Promised

I love JB, but I won't be a JB apologist. He went back on his word. I'm a girl who grew up believing someone's word is more important than anything. He's a Southern Boy, and was brought up the same way, which is why I believed him. Well, you and me both. Then again, I didn't go to Newport just for ...
