Re: Trooper Ticketed for Speeding - How fast do you drive?
I got nailed for doing 32 in a 30. I couldn't get out of it. The officer wouldn't let me off and there wasn't anyway for me to fight it. I was cited for doing 85 in a 55 going up Parley's Summit, one of the steepest grades on the interstate system, but I could proved that my 68 Ford Falcon, couldn't...

Re: Sail on Merlin Olsen
He was a gentleman off the field. I used to do some business with him and he was always polite, always had a kind word for any of his fans. He will be missed by many.

Why? I have over 12k songs on my iTunes account and all are perfectly legal. My brother in law has over 87k on his and all are legal.

Re: I need to write a song
Most of the songwriters I know say that songs just come to them and then they work on them. One friend of mine took two years to work on one song. After she reached the point that she said it was good enough, I asked how much of it was the same as at the beginning. She grinned at me and said "a...

Re: best place to see jimmy?
Having seen Jimmy in a wide array of places, the best ones aren't places he will play anymore. So, I would go with Margaritavilles, Le Select, Paris and London looked really nice and any other small venue where he could do an acoustic set.

Re:
I stayed at the Maison Dupuy for Jazzfest. Its was very nice. The Balcony Girls and Tiki Bar stayed there as well. For food, I would recommend Cafe Maspero. Great food at a great price. The three times I've been there, it has been terrible food and terrible service. Why have I been back so many tim...

Re: Best 3 Concerts You've Been To (Besides Buffett)
This is really tough given all the different concerts I've seen over the years and all the different styles. It's also difficult because are we talking the best showmanship or the best musical performance. If we are talking razzle, dazzle showmanship here are my 3 Kiss, anything after about 1980 The...

Re: Hawaii
Much depends on what you like/want and what your budget is. If you like crowds and tourist traps, there isn't a better spot than Honolulu, followed closely by Maui, but if you prefer something a little more removed from the maddening crowds, either head for Kauai or the Big Island, unless you have a...

Re: United Breaks Guitars
I saw this on the news last night. With all the publicity he should be thankful they broke it. I almost bet that the Guitar Company has kicked in a few bucks for the promo 8) 8) Rumor has it, they gave him 2 guitars. 8) They didn't give him two guitars. He received a discount from them and a fairly...

Re: carry on question
I have asked a friend of mine who is a supervisor for the TSA and he thinks you will end up having them taken away from you if they are in your carry on baggage. The rule is that all liquids, that are not medical in nature, must be in bottles and that these must be 3 ounces or less per bottle and th...

Re: A Reason To Watch Women's Curling...
My first real experience watching curling was also during the 2002 Olympics. A bunch of us were hanging out at the German house, drinking great beer and enjoying ourselves when curling came on the big screen tv. I don't know why but everyone became enthralled with it. It became one of the hottest ti...

Re: If You Won the Lottery......
I'd buy a nice, but not palatial, house in Southern Utah and open a bakery. ....after I did that, I'd probably buy a really nice coat for my dog..... If you are living in Southern Utah, why does your dog need a coat? Or are you talking about the higher elevations, like Navajo Lake? If I won big, as...

Re: Was there ever a Margaritaville in CA that went under?
I've followed my gut on this one several times. There was an upscale Mexican place here that had a Margaritaville neon sign above the bar. It wasn't a sign just saying Margaritaville, it was one that was a direct lift from Jimmy's Margaritaville. I first spoke to the manager who blew me off. So I th...

Re: Utah takes action on global warming
Sadly, it is another message bill being debated and passed by the Utah legislature (read Republican Super Majority) instead of addressing real issues like a massive budget shortfall. Most years they pass one or maybe two, like the year that they passed a bill to ban R rated films from cable, which t...

I got rid of my land line last summer and haven't regretted at all. I no longer get calls from my ex-wife's bill collectors and I'm not paying for something that I wasn't using.

Re: If you have seen the new Apple Ipad I have some questions
As far as I can see, this is a great little device in search of a niche to fill. While it currently can't be used as a cell phone per se, you could use the Google calling software and use it as such. It is a bit big to be a phone though and it is limited as a small computer. And I have my doubts abo...
