How do I disable the sidebar to the left of the screen again? I went into "My Skank" and couldn't find the right option to turn it off. thanksin adavnce.

Sharon, that's maybe a bit cynical. Perhaps they were given a choice and chose to support their father, just because they love him. Maybe not, but I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on that one. It wasn't even his officially scheduled date for appearance in Whitehall anyway.

(((( ::wipes a tear from his eye:: )))))

hey Aaron - you know you have my support. You're a good man and I have every confidence you'll go out of 2007 feeling way better than how you went in! Luke makes a great point: probably best to stay away from places (and to an extent, people) that may trigger a relapse. Remember, while Luke makes a prescient point that this community is full of people with addictive personalities there are also plenty of people who DON'T abuse alcohol or drugs, and they have just as good a time as the rest of us who are busy getting ripped. Stick with it and I guarantee you will be an example to those around you to take a good hard look in the mirror as well. Honestly, how many people here might stop to say "well if Aaron can do it......." rock on brother. BTW, my non-alcoholic beer of choice is President Choice Lager.

political forum??

The Grateful Dead are the last thing left to stand for freedom?? I honestly can't tell, is that a joke?

So sorry to hear of this Scottie - I am glad she is heading in the right direction and that it wasn't worse! (((( vibeage for Diane ))))

it doesn't work for me either here at work or at home.

birdy darling, your avatar isn't showing for me and hasn't shown for a few days now. just so ya know.

I dig Ollie and enjoyed meeting him for forty seconds last Fall. I disagree with him a LOT but that's ok. I disagree with Birdy quite a bit and she's still as delightful as apple pie with cream on top!

I wonder if the judge can sentence him to writing better material and to stop pissing in people's ears with that one endless guitar solo he's been spinning for years now? America needs justice.

A government or a state should never have the authority to decide who lives and who dies. Just because judicial systems are flawed doesn't mean we have to resort a "punishment" representing the least amount of imagination.

nEwS TO me!

Let me be the first to say that, despite my concerns, The Police have not yet reunited and so have not yet set ticket prices. Maybe it'll be expensive, but on the reasonable side of expensive. You never know.

I like traffic lights!

Good Lord! I'd never say that it is wrong for someone to pay $250 for a concert ticket if they feel it is good value for them. It is a choice after all. The market demands what it will bear. But isn't it amazing how the average price of concert tickets has skyrocketed well beyond rates of inflation? Maybe it is particularly a problem regarding the larger acts? I know you can still get great value for $12 - $20 at smaller venues these days. I hope they do play Bonnaroo just for the sheer perversity of that whole festival's ticket price probably winding up being somewhere around what you might otherwise pay for a single night of The Police at the nearest arena. btw, I'm not begrudging anyone paying what they wish to see their heroes. It's just regretful that more humble people are priced out of the joys of live music on a big scale. I suspect that too often these shows become 18,000 polite yet glum people sitting dead still for three hours, all trying to make sure no-one else's fun ruins them of their $125 night out, thereby guaranteeing no-one has much fun. Having said all that, if The Police tour, and I can afford a ticket, I'd go and try to have as much fun as possible, because that would be a tremendous show!

It is huge...... I could never see them doing this JUST in the UK. IF it happens, lets assume there'll be North American dates too. Probably at $250 a ticket.

Mars Bar!

I want to lose some weight and play my guitar and sing more often. That's about it. Oh, and do some LSD for the first time in 15 years.

Happy New Years geeks.

Fatties start around 1am - is that correct?

I love deep fried everything! Seriously, it's ok. Just don't over-do things. Fat is flavour!

Rainbow, The Cult and that damn Scorpions album I knew who did them but blanked on the title.

I am truly sorry he wasn't thrown into a secure prison to rot until the end of his natural days.
