nah we have no trouble reaching 12 tunes when the themes don't need an engineering degree to figure out..... all we can do..... ....is wait....... :: looks around nervously ::

all we need is one more people.....

if the game stalls.... it stalls.

one choice per theme. Sorry Kanada Kev.....

actually Ollie I'm in a great mood today. Feel like smashing some golden idols. Feel so good I'm gonna break somebody's heart tonight. (thanks RT) no, I mean that whole bloated 60's super-star culture circa the mid 1970's. The sense of self-important celebration - the strings, the horns, the mumbling interviews about how hard it is to be on the road (read: be fried on cocaine all day everyday), the whole trip. What used to awe me about this film I now find tiresome, shallow, trite. And yeah, to a certain extent, I'd put Neil in there too. And I'm a huge fan. Doesn't mean his shaky, coke-boogered version of "Helpless" is good here though. I don't think it is. The harmonies are atrocious. Don't take me too seriously folks, I know all those artists made great music before and after and occasionally during The Last Waltz. My tongue is slightly - not fully - but somewhat in my cheek when I type these things. And I'm sorry if I derailed the QOTD. Please continue with that. We can start another thread if we want to go further down the road I started, which I kind of regret.

And as I sit here, scratching myself, I can't help but wonder what your point has to do with anything I said about The Last Waltz.

The Disco Biscuits.

did I just kill this thread? sorry, I had recently tried to rewatch The Last Waltz so it was fresh on my mind when it came up as an example.

I once owned the soundtrack to that, Gumby. You can hear the high kicks. Left speaker, lower frequency.

[color:purple]thanks for the clarification.

You mean that bloated, pretentious celebration of cocaine burnouts and egotistical, self-absorbed assholes? I can imagine it. At least Dylan brought some humanity to the rest of those self-congratulatory be-suited scumbags. I say, Scorsese made a great film out of a sickening display of artifice. Seeing Van Morrison do high kicks in a leisure suit is both hilarious and frightening. But hey, that's just me! No wonder across the country CBGB's was brewing up the punk scene at exactly the same time. If anything The Last Waltz demonstrated why that HAD to happen, and thank God it did. Those fish were fried, take 'em off the fire. imo. please, carry on.

This is just ridiculous. Fine, YOU decided physical health isn't as important as other things to YOU. However, second-hand smoke makes that decision for other people, which is wrong and very serious. You even admitted second-hand smoke causes cancer. And if people need a smoke to keep them from going bananas it's because THEY HAVE AN ADDICTION!. Those couple of colds per year isn't the only exchange they'll make for a lifetime of tobacco addiction. And non-smokers don't need a fucking cigarette, there are a lot of other, healthier options available to people to calm down and ease their anxieties. Also calling people whiners because they don't appreciate other people's disgusting habits is just ludicrous, but then you once wanted to uphold the notion of betting on women racing each other around a horse racing track so what can I say Beats??

my brain hurts.

Alan, please take your pants off. Thank you, Marc.

we've had to deal with this problem and it is very frustrating to sit and watch tv and smell someone's else's ciggy smoke creeping into your environment, especially when you've been living happily in that place for five years.

sarah - I tried to do as you suggested under your notes, but couldn't get the same options to pop up. I wonder if they've changed it? facebook *is* addictive. It's far more user-friendly and easy to setup than myspace (although I don't think they are necessarily interchangeable) and yeah, it is remarkable to see who comes out of the cyber-woodwork to say hello. So far, that part of it has been pretty pleasant for me.
