Great band great song!

Agreed - unless you don’t like that sort of thing...
I watched some Black Flag live stuff from 84ish on YouTube last night. Wow! I didn’t realize Kira played all that stuff fingerstyle!

Absolutely but Nuclear Girl Power will microwave the earth. Ignorance disguised as feminism is an affront to what feminism is about. In truth it took some truly extreme women to bring it to where it is today... but extremism, true extremism is counter productive and makes your cause incredible. That is, lacking credibility. I’ve always found it interesting how words evolve from their original meaning into something else, until you can’t even use them the same way and be understood. Such as the word incredible.

I'm an 'only'. Never hadda deal with that. My 'bitter half' comes from a large family where the oldies said things like "if I have to stop this car......"

You have missed much. I will never forget the time Dad made good on his threat one January evening; pulled over and made my brother walk home.

The Gibson Forum on the Dudepit was my introduction to all of this, what a wild and wooly place that was! Somehow we got off on WWII history, tanks, aircraft crossdressing, the love that dare not speak it's name, electric trains etc., etc. There was a raunchy picture thread that at times just made you cringe - I miss that place sometimes!

Aircraft cross dressing?

 

[Markamb1]

How old? How far?

Rumor has it that #62 still has a smile on his face

Well, he wasn't hungry after eating all that chicken.

Guess I better jump in here.

We were under 3/4 when the family was coming back from Newfoundland my twin brothers and I were so hellish that they pulled over SAT US DOWN ON A ROCK AND DROVE AWAY....

A great way to teach an important lesson. But do that today and the parents would be in jail and the kids sent to foster care for the rest of their lives.

I am floored that the ex wife suggested my daughter go on a course so that she can stay home by herself. I told her that rule #1 is don't burn down the house (and she did not need to be told that). She reports back that the course was a waste of a day. The ex threatened to call the police on me because I was outside doing yard work while my daughter was inside a couple of years ago.

How hard did you laugh?

 

[GonePlaid]

Aircraft cross dressing?

I was wondering about that too.

 

[PillO]

How hard did you laugh?

I was scared to. I might have to get out too.

Jeez! We all survived cars w/o seatbelts('course the cars were made of steel not Reynolds Wrap), occasional spankings, being sent to our room[today's kids have all their electronics in there-we had books],etc. And we learned stuff, like rule #1^.

My brains are held in with Crazy Glue (that explains a lot!)

Don’t tell the DB side. They will take you to task for not using hot hide glue.

Even after a course....the parent is the only one that can really tell if a kid is capable of absorbing, maintaining and applying information. I can tell someone everything they need to know and then watch them instantly do the opposite right in front of me......adults.

You get hot chicks. I get socks. Maybe I should stop policing my browsing history.

Well I’ll tell ya, private browser seems to do its job

I know our queen isn’t into Fleetwood Mac, but I’ve been a fan since the late sixties. They played the Santa Barbara County Bowl a lot. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen was them during the Welsh era. I learned to play bass by playing along to the early Peter Green era stuff. McVie is one of my idols. Buckingham is a wizzard on guitar. I’ve seen them three times since Christine returned. Good concerts, but Buckingham seemed to be hogging the stage, almost to the point of being annoying. I’d choose Stevie over him any day.

Bob Welch's first solo album "French Kiss", has some really good bass lines and tone, personally, and I like it way better than anything FM managed to come up with in "Rumours" and beyond era of the band, Stevie and the whole gypsy thing wore thin pretty fast for me.
I saw Bob Welch at PNE? in Vancouver, B.C. way back in the day, he opened for Heart. It was a post high school road trip that I made with a bunch of friends, we were all too eager to go at the time because drinking age was 19 in B.C., 21 in Washington state. Even at the time I loved the bass tone on "French Kiss" and wondered what bass was used to get it, of all things, a Rickenbacker 4000 was what his bassist used, very throaty!

That's just silly, everyone knows Hide Glue is used on your butt not your head!

 

[Gaolee]

Anybody actually remember or know what that’s from? STOP LOOKING AT ME SWAN!?



What’s great about that though is that when your girlfriend or wife is looking up things she likes and wants it does the same thing to her sooooo if you use her phone or computer for even a short period of time..... to look something up randomly....all the ads that pop up are tailored to her.... works for me.

Just be careful because I can see the advertising system getting it wrong from time to time....maybe very wrong with a glitch in probabilities or interpretation by the software they use.



We were under 3/4 when the family was coming back from Newfoundland my twin brothers and I were so hellish that they pulled over SAT US DOWN ON A ROCK AND DROVE AWAY....

We were terrified....they came back but holy hell. Can’t do that today. It’s too bad though because it shut us up really quick and got the point across immediately. Instant realization is priceless.

We all Take Things for Granted because everything is Socially Guaranteed In such a Politically Correct, overbearing Big Brother kind of way. We’re raising such an arrogant, entitled generation of the future. It’s Something I think, historically, only World War can put in check.... the sudden realization of how fragile our sense of Civilization really is... Cvilization is a thin veneer or veil quickly wiped or blown away by so many things it’s scary. That’s globally. On an individual level, the will to Savagery is even more apparent. The minute an individuals Needs are Unmet or their Desire for More Ignites, they Degenerate into Savage Beasts of Survival or Conquest.

World War is a Profiteering Sham of Transnational Corporations with no sense of Nationality nor Morality. Companies that sell Weapons and Materials to both sides, ensuring that all will Impoverish themselves through War until they become too Weak to Stand alone as truly Independent Nations, so that False Democracies can be installed and Dictated by such Transnationally minded individuals. Food is the number one Weapon, then ideology. (Although I think that ideology is number one in many cases because people willingly die for their beliefs but belief systems aren’t viable until the needs of survival are met soooo....) Guns and bombs are toys by comparison. A starved nation is a defenceless one, a dead nation, literally.

Read the MERCHANTS OF GRAIN...perhaps the single most enlightening book I’ve ever read about World War AND GLOBAL POLITICS....even though it’s really only supposed to be about the Global Merchants of Grain. Politics as you know it will go up in smoke to reveal a pretty little Puppet Show that doesn’t make the least bit of difference as whole....globally.

That being said I Long for a World of Post War Minded Citizens. Those who have a deep appreciation and love for the peace and civilization of their nation.

When I watch the documentaries of our history, what the men AND women did for the war efforts....my faith in humanity is restored. It’s a beautiful thing. Sadly it could be expressed and utilized in better ways for humanity as a whole....

we have to go through such metaphorical HELL in order to appreciate HEAVEN.... this generation is convinced that this is HELL and HEAVEN is elsewhere. True recipe for disaster when everyone wants to be somewhere else instead of appreciating where they are.

Tl;dr except the last line. I happen to be on Kauai for the day. I am happy right where I am at the moment.

PLEASE WATCH THIS....THE POINT ONLY TAKES 2ish minutes to hear out.... it is the funniest most accurate statement ever made about our false democracies in under two minutes.

What does tl;dr mean?
