Clarky, very well stated re "Malm". I personally love the man for his single minded take it or leave it approach to everything. I reiterate that unfortunately after his first couple of releases there was really no where left to go in his genre, he needed to change or regrettably, go stale. YJM obviously chose the latter.

Five tips for a woman....

1. It is important that a man helps you around the house and has a job.

2. It is important that a man makes you laugh.

3. It is important to find a man you can count on and doesn't lie to you.

4. It is important that a man loves you and spoils you.

thanks

sometimes I get good jokes - other days nothing worth posting.

I just went to the Keswick Theatre Show in Glenside PA last night (which I might add was spectactular - the platinum meet and greet could have lasted longer but he did have a lot of people to meet, I got my picture taken which was more than I could ask for :)

Yoda - I feel your pain on looking for singers. You want first, of course, someone that can sing. That is hard enough. Top that off with frontman/woman ego antics, coulpled with the "artist" mentality (lack of focus, preparation, and punctuallity) and it's just a major pain in the ass. I don't know how many people we aaagghhditioned this summer but it was brutal. Good luck to ya'. I'll be waiting to hear the title of your new instrumental recording.

Michelle - Saw the post about your leg. Bummer. I ripped my calf up last year playing hoop. It was my first real sports injury (not counting twisted ankles and jammed fingers). Getting old SUCKS. It seems that some things are getting harder and harder to do, like get up after sitting on the floor for a while. I just don't do that anymore. Only chairs for me. I might need one of those chairs that tilt and lift you up to a standing position soon. LOL Anyway take care and hope you feel better soon.

JS_JS - How's classes. I haven't seen you complaining about homework lately. I'm freakin buried.

Do the Stu CNN and Fox News is no comparrison. Fox news is way more balanced. I have heard this "CNN is liberal" which is a bunch of balony. CNN has both smart republicans and democrats for shows like Crossfire. How many shows do they have on CNN that downs the right all the time? None. How many shows on Fox news do they have that downs the liberals all the time? At least 2 that I know. Hannity and Colmes and The O'Reilly factor. The reporters and anchors, if you notice, ask the democrats harder questions all the time.

Sixty-one percent of guests were current or former Democratic or Republican government officials, political candidates, staffers or advisors. These guests were classified as either Democrats or Republicans. All others -- including conservatives with no official party connection, such as Jerry Falwell or David Horowitz -- were classified as non-partisan for the purposes of the study, along with bipartisan officials such as career diplomats.  

I would also like to see if (I Think) Mary is checking the posts - my name is TIm I was the young guy with glasses at Keswick. I am interested in getting some of the pics you took at there along with that Set List.

Anybody else see the new Prince video? Kinda shocked me the first time i saw it - here is an article about it

Prince is once again stirring up some controversy. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is generating debate with a new music video depicting an Arab-American teenage girl imagining herself as a suicide bomber.

The "Cinnamon Girl" video — created mostly in the Twin Cities and released to music television channels this week — has been criticized on Fox News and CNN.

"Prince intended for it to spark some dialogue," said the video's director, Phil Harder, of Minneapolis-based Harder-Fuller Films.

The clip features Keisha Castle-Hughes, 14, the Oscar-nominated actress from the movie "Whale Rider." She plays a schoolgirl who witnesses a terrorist attack and then experiences racism from classmates and others. The racism pushes her to dream about carrying a bomb into an airport.

"Cinnamon Girl of mixed heritage, never knew the meaning of color lines," Prince sings. "9/11 turned that all around, when she got accused of this crime."

Prince will not comment on the clip because he prefers that people make up their own mind, his publicist said.

Representatives for MTV, VH1 and BET channels said their programmers were aware of the clip's content. MTV plans to begin airing it next week on MTVU, its universities-only channel, to gauge the reaction of viewers. VH1 and BET are undecided.

Rana Abbas, deputy director of the Midwest chapter of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee in Dearborn, Mich., voiced her support after seeing the video Thursday.

"It was shocking, but in a good way," Abbas said. "Prince is the first major recording artist to address the prejudice and issues that (Arab-Americans) are facing after 9/11, and I think he has done it in a very powerful way."

The New York Post said it "might be the most tasteless video ever." Fox News commentator John Gibson suggested that Prince is "causing trouble," and CNN anchor Kyra Phillips said it is "shaking and rumbling the entertainment industry."

Rolling Stone magazine music editor Joe Levy said the video should be put in context, and the song says that Arab-Americans were victims of hate after Sept. 11, 2001.

Harder said the lyrics show Prince is "sincere in wanting to speak to the times." He also emphasized that the video "resolves itself peacefully."

Any takers?

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - More men are willing to have sex with their bosses to get a promotion or a salary increase than women, a Belgian human resources weekly said on Friday.

According to the Vacature poll -- based on 12,078 Belgians interviewed -- 12 percent of all men would be willing to sleep with their boss to try to advance their career, compared to only 1 percent of women.

michelle, awesome, Joe played Hordes Of Locusts! It sounds like a cracking show, and I hear you on Jeff, he's ace. I love watchin Jeff playing, he always looks really happy and really into it. I was really pleased that he was one of the guys I got to talk with after G3 earlier this year, he's a really cool guy, really modest and intuitive.

As we prepare for Halloween 2004, it is interesting to recall this foto of YJM in his 2003 Halloween get-up. "Fury" King of Rock'n'Roll. The foto was taken at Bucketheads house before YJM and Bucket headed out on the trick-or-treat trail..

Civgeek, it's just a slight glitch in the program. My knees have always been sensitive (insert extreme growing pains as a kid). It was about 20 years ago. I wish they would have done something back then so the tendon would have tightened up. Oh well, whataya gunna do? I still like to sit on the floor, but I sure don't spring up like I used to. lol! That's another thing about Joe - he's in fantastic shape! Maybe we should switch to green tea like Joe did? lol!

Man I'm tired and I have to go to work in an hour.

jblaze1 - "This may be a silly request but I was wondering if you would consider putting a "Member Since (00/00/00)""

That's a good idea...it'd be cool if Jon can add it...

He starts showing video of one speech (video of someone talking), shows video and pictures of something else so he can splice in words from another speech, and then go back to video of the first someone talking (but at another part of the speech) to make it look like the whole thing was one continuious speech.

How is that still in context?

I agree... Jeff is better and better each time I see him.

I'll watch that part of the DVD later today and let you know...

The "Mary" you're looking for is probably "marimariSRV" here on T2J.

All of the cable news stations have are slanted in one way or another.

Countering an argument that happens to go against the left (my Michael Moore argument) with one against the right (the Fox News thing) doesn't mean anything to me. My reasons for not liking Michael Moore have nothing to do with him being a Democrat and me possibly being a Republican (because I'm not a Republican).

stu clone: It doesnt bother me what kind of lifestyle he leads. But when he gets pissy about "high, toasted & laid," I have the right to tell him live and let live. I pretty much said, dont preach...this is how I feel....live your life but dare dont tell me that I am stupider than you because of the choices I make.
