Boy what a day. Didn't figure I would post so much today and cause so much trouble/grief.

I try to be thoughtful in my posts - try to use good grammer, spelling, ect (not always successful, but I try).

Yes - Hoosiers need to stick together - maybe not like glue, but together nonetheless.

How about voice recognition software that will control your mouse for you (move left, scroll down) to save your fingers?

Or - how about a longer screen - see a page at a time?

Joes new album looks awsome, cant wait!

gotta have Joe Usually, bands/artists/musicians will release two CD's, one for Japan (which usually have 1+ bonus track(s), and then the US version, which usually doesn't contain the bonus track(s). The Japanes versions, considered - Imports, usually cost a bit more than the US versions also. I usually see Japanese imports go for over $30+. An easy way to check out the Japanese extras is using something like 'Limewire' to check out the Japanese extra songs, but Limewire no reason to download entire CD's! How would you personally feel if the music you put so much time into writing, rehearsing, and the endless hours of recording and mixing and then people just download the entire thing for free? Most seem to really like having Limewire, but put yourself in the shoes of the musicians. They still are making a lot, but the amount of people downloading music for free would shock you. I'm not against Limewire, I only use it to get the Japanese bonus tracks that aren't included on US versions, I don't think $30+ for a CD is really worth it.

Hum - I think the webmaster was writing about me . . .

Just a thought.

But

About the lease - seems like a project that large is going awful fast through the legislature.

Welcome back !!

So - is your life all put back together, or are some things still hanging around.

Divorces can be a big pain.

Well - a new Joe disc and back in the saddle here - all hopefully is looking up for you.

A Phone conversation

"Mrs. Ward, please."

"Speaking."

"Mrs. Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing Laboratory. When your doctor sent your husband's biopsy to the lab yesterday, a biopsy from another Mr. Ward arrived as well, and we are now uncertain which one is your husband's. Frankly the results are either bad or terrible."

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Ward asks nervously.

"Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for AIDS . We can't tell which is your husband's."

"That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again?" questioned Mrs. Ward.

"Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time."

"Well, what am I supposed to do now?"

"The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him."

webmaster - The update is cool...thanks. :-) Do you know if Sony is doing anything special with the preorders this time like they have in the past (poster, autographed liner notes, etc.)? The preorder page doesn't say anything yet. If not, I'll save a few bucks and just get it from Best Buy on release day.

How is school going?

Satch Boogie was used in Problem Child 2 and Speed of Light was used in Super Mario Bros. I can't think of any other times Joe's music has been used in movies.

"you gotta dig that new CD cover....somebody got Photoshop for christmas"

I think it looks less Photoshopped (Can I make that a verb?) than some of his more recent releases, but I still don't like it all that much. Just about all of Joe's albums have a picture of him and maybe a guitar on the cover...but I think Time Machine is my favorite cover, because it actually works the photo of Joe into a larger theme.

"Ipsos' telephone poll of 1,000 adults"

The people who conducted this survey should be shot. Adults aren't the ones stealing music. Kids steal it, often without even understanding copyright.

The person who wrote the article should be shot as well, for not picking up on that.

"Could I simply post the hot link for the site - sure. But then, how many will actually link to it and read it?"

Probably the same number of people. Those who don't click the links would probably be the same people who just scroll past your posts.

I think it's cool that you post a lot of different things here...but I also thought I'd say that if you have several stories to share, providing several links (and maybe a headline or a the lead paragraph with each) in one post makes T2J a bit easier to read than it is with five long copied/pasted posts in a row. With me personally, I'd open each one of your links in a separate tab (I love Firefox!) and go through them one at a time that way.

Do The Stu

Man am I posting a lot here today or what.

Is firefox that great? I still use IE

Regarding the copyright - very few adults probably understand copyright law and some also download music as well.

I use iTunes - love it.

You are probably right - mostly teenagers / college age people are the ones downloading music illegally.

mikesb...those are the words to the song...yes....? "Fecetious"...you should be Mensa member with your obvious, Intelligence, Wit & Stunning Good Looks...you'd be a shoe in....lol

Hey Joe I am excited you have a new album coming out. Please tell me its not going to be infected with DRM, security loopholes and rootkits like the G3 Live in Tokyo CD. Thankfully sony did replace the CD for me with one that was no infected. But I have to tell you that sure did cause me a lot of heartache. A Full system restore on a work PC.

Zinc Master - Mozilla Firefox is awesome. It's coolest feature is its tabbed browsing. Instead of having a million different windows open, you can right-click links on a page and open them in a new tab. This makes it easy when looking at full-size versions of thumbnail pictures, looking at a list of search results and opening several sites, or sorting through other forums and opening all the topics you wish to read at once. Just click the tabs at the top or use a keyboard shortcut to jump back and forth between the different tabs. It's easy.

It's also much more secure than IE, and infinitely more customizable.

You can download Firefox here. If you still aren't convinced, go here to read a list of 101 things you can do with Mozilla (Firefox) that you can't do with IE. Then go download it. ;-)

"Regarding the copyright - very few adults probably understand copyright law and some also download music as well."

I bet adults understand it better than children. My problem with that article was that the sample group that was surveyed is a group that doesn't download music often in the first place...so using their answers to come to conclusions about downloaders is just stupid. I mean come on...they even surveyed people who don't listen to music!

That'd be like asking a bunch of Ashlee Simpson fans if they like Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, and then writing an article about how instrumental rock music is dead. It's ridiculous.

Hmmmmmmm I think there's some winds a blowing. Change it is upon us......"And I like It!!"..... ;-))

Slanshroom: I thank you for your wonderful words Roy! I means a great deal to me to have my work appreciated.....I bow back to you. Thank you for your kindness and friendship. I am eternallly grateful. Words from those that matter to me speaks volumes....... it's priceless!!
