Is it just me or is RM seriously screwed up at the moment?

I'm listening to the "instant replay" of tonight's show and I'm hear Jimmy doing Volcano and Van the Man doing something else. I know I've had a wee bit to drink and all but I don't think I'm that messed up that I would mistake two songs being jammed together.

Re: can you ever "go back"?

I think much depends on your motives as to why you want to go back and for how long. I have been back to visit many places from my past, some for my own sake and some to let my daughter see where her family comes from. I wouldn't move back to any of those places and expect it to be anything remotely...

Raining Jane

I have had the pleasure of seeing this band perform twice this weekend and I have to say that I am blown away by them. High energy, great harmonies, amazing lyrics, catchy tunes, fun banter between the band members and the audience and incredible music. They have worked with Willy Porter, Sarah Bare...

Re: Gun ownership issue

I am always amazed at the folks who want to ban "assault rifles" and yet are unable to clearly define what an "assault rifle" is. This is the problem I see with many of the gun control proposals, they are poorly thought out and they are either so imprecise that they will be tosse...

Re: May Las Vegas concert questions

With the exception of this past October, I haven't missed a Las Vegas show and I've had seats scattered all over the arena. My favorite seats have been on the risers, just 1 section from stage. My least favorites were on the floor in the back. It's hard to see anything so you miss out on the show. T...

Re: Your favorite Beatle (before and after)?

I'm a George fan. Always liked his songs, his approach to music always touched a part of my soul that the rest missed. Ringo is probably the most underrated member of the band. According to numerous drummers, he is one of the best because he managed to fill where and when a fill was needed and to le...

Re: Here's why the AIG bonuses don't bother me.

Let me ask a few questions here, who is getting the bonuses? Do you know what their jobs were and are? Do you if they actually were responsible for the issues at hand? Or were they in charge of some of the companies and divisions that actually made money for AIG? And if they were involved in making ...

Re: Don Imus Says He Has Cancer

While Don Imus has said some things that I didn't agree with and holds some views that go against mine, I wish him the speediest recovery. I've known two people who have died from prostate cancer and it sure seemed to be a really nasty way to go.

Re: American Legion Opposes President's Plan to charge wounded..

That is what he says, but when you read what other bloggers say, that isn't necessarily what the plan is. Until we have more than the word of the Commander of the American Legion, it's hard to know. As someone once said, just because someone says something, it doesn't mean it's the truth.

Re: American Legion Opposes President's Plan to charge wounded..

From what I can find, which other than the AL website, isn't a lot, the idea is to charge the veteran's personal insurance company for care provided at a VA hospital whose illness or injury isn't related to the veteran's military service. That is a far cry from denying care to a veteran and/or from ...

Re: Move Over Disneyland- UTAH is here

Some of Utah's quirky liquor laws are ending, no more Zion Curtain, no more private club memberships! The separate room to mix drinks in will only apply to new eateries. One of the reasons Utah is so happy is that it has the highest, per capita, usage rates for anti-depressants! :roll: I was over at...

Re: Two Jr. High teachers accused of sex with same student

And having known several people who were seduced by teachers or preachers or other adults and seen what it costs them later in life, I can tell you that while it may be a teenager fantasy, it still does a lot of emotional damage. Even if it didn't do damage to the child, it is still a betrayal of tr...

Re: Two Jr. High teachers accused of sex with same student

I agree with you 100%. However this is Utah and the offenders were women so the double standard will kick in. Odds are they will get 3 years on probation. That seems to be the going penalty here for women who engage in sexual acts with minors. Men, on the other hand, seem to get much harsher sentenc...
