  6. The fraudulence of the "War on Terror" is clearly revealed by looking at the pattern of actions that preceded and followed its launch. Full article here: http://www.alternet.org/waroniraq/63632/?page=1
  7. Marc LaFonataine and the guys in Slippermen put on a fantastic show. They've got some new songs that they should be playing at this show too (Genesis covers that is, not originals ). Waiting for a Toronto date
  8. Thanks StoneMtn, i was waiting for it to be challenged ... technically it is a "last name", but he never had a first name right??? The Doctor's first name is Victor (book) and Henry (movie), but the monster is a one-namer kinda guy.

  14. Great letter. I know Mike Lawson, he's a really good guy with a big heart. He is a guitar player himself and has a great CD called Ticket To Fly. Had a bunch of the bay area boys play on it with him. He was VERY close with Vince Welnick and I heard a lot of crazy stories through him. Things are a lot different (in many ways) when you hear stories from people who are close as friends to the "famous". http://www.mikelawson.com/ BTW - i look at ticket prices and am astonished with how they have gone up over the years. It's mainly because they "can". When people stop paying big bucks for certain acts, they're forced to play smaller venues, or lower them, or go on the casino circuit (guaranteed cash). Neil tix are the most I've paid for, for a concert. You know what? I don't begrudge it at all. Considering how many amazing concerts I've been able to attend below cost, free, or at very fair rates it all balances out. If i were to take an equation of the numbers of hours of live music i've experienced and divided it by the total price of tickets and admission i've paid it would be VERY affordable and fair. Just recently I've been able to get: Genesis rehearsal show = $0 Genesis @ BMO Field = $0 (won tix) Rush @ ACC = $40 floors on eBay Daniel Lanois w/Brian Blade (and Garth Hudson) = $35 Springsteen @ ACC = $0 (won tix) Phil Lesh @ SHea's = $50 Gov't Mule @ Kool Haus = $35 That's a total of $160 for 7 show = $22.86 each. Damn fair. I know some of it may have been luck, but retail for all of those would have come in around $885 ... ridiculous! Now adding a Neil show raises my average to about $45 per show recently, but then I can toss in a few gigs here and there with $10-$15 covers and it comes down again. There's tons of high quality live music out there that you can experience very very cheaply. Just let it "offset" the odd indulgence now and then. I liked how it was compared earlier to going out for food. Price does not always reflect quality, but it can be an invaluable experience.
  15. Bouche, i caught an episode last week completely by chance. Got hooked and sucked right in. It was amazing. As BUrns mentioned in the JS interview, the stories are told more from the experience of those brave individuals who were actually there. The episode I saw focused on the Battle for Guadalcanal ... incredible what they went through there. Remember, this IS done with a very American focus. Details are about their achievements and experiences, not the other allied forces.
  16. I'd like to find out what the Limbaugh return to THIS could possibly be. Limbaugh is such a jackass. http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/63782/?comments=view&cID=739852&pID=739436#c739852 Jon Soltz, Co-Founder and Chair of VoteVets.org, is a leader of the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans community and is originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From May to September 2003, Soltz served as a Captain during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
  17. It's as if the last sentenceacts as a punch-line ! http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21014622/
  18. Some interesting comments by Rob DiMaio in MacKenzie's editorial today:
  19. My mistake ... I didn't mean Avery, it was Simon I was thinking of (who got the 25 gamer). I also noticed my typo on the Downie 20 (not 25) and edited it prior to your post ... ease up already. History does matter. I agree with you that if THIS is what is deemed to be the penalty for this type of infraction, it should be a benchmark. Watching to see if they maintain this consistently should be very interesting.
  20. THANK YOU Jakis ... is my English really that unclear? It would make more SENSE that you'd see suspensions steadily increase in duration for similar infractions, not fluctuate. In the NHL they obviously do not.
