Her advice for up and coming bassists is good.

That story somehow isn't surprising.

It sounds like a good movie. There don't seem to be many good ones lately.

This wasn't just in the USA; this was in Texas. I'm not sure if any further explanation is even needed

Although I don't listen to it much, I genuinely like surf music. That's not good at all losing someone like that. As an aside, though, I could have done without the 12 Ashley Madison ads on that page. Not really what I want to be looking at when I'm just finding out about someone dying.

There were actually quite a few good ones on You Tube. Very funny. But I didn't want to saturate the place with parodies.

But we've got loads of TV commercials for prescription drugs. Anyone who likes that is in heaven on earth. You won't find those in Europe, though. They're missing out.

Even Pat Robertson says he believes in what I believe he calls progressive theistic evolution. Plus, he outright says that young earth creationism is a joke and people (like Ken Ham) need to get real.

« on: March 06, 2019, 10:56:50 AM »An anus that comes AND goes? So far we have only had vocal advocates of the former in this forum, I await further developments with bated breath.
Biologically speaking, I'm surprised that the scientists are surprised, how else could an anus develop other than via an amoebous digestive surrounding morphing into a gastrointestinal tract which needs a more stable, permanent, yet sealable exit?Alas!, I always thought it was a bad idea that the US of A did not teach its children proper evolution.
We need some Creationists here to liven things up!
I don't believe in young earth creationism, but I do believe in some kind of old earth creationism. It isn't something, though, that has mattered to me much one way or another and I've never delved into it much. What should be clear to anyone who accepts even the basics of science, however, is that the earth is 4.5 billion years old. Anyone who tries to argue otherwise is free to do so, but is wasting his breath and everyone else's time.
It doesn't matter to me how people believe on something like that. In real life, I tend to get along better with people who don't think the same way I do. Being with people who think and act like me is actually kind of boring a lot of the time.

I'm not sure, but I think it may have been her European boyfriend at the time who made the observation. But it was Pepsi, not Coke. Not that that makes all that big of a difference. At any rate, it does sound way preferable to a keto fragrance.

Gibson Basses / Re: Music videos that feature EB0 to EB4 and SG variant basses...
« on: February 27, 2019, 09:37:01 PM »I think Moore and Bruce first met when they both guested on Cozy Powell's debut solo album in 1979.
Stuff like this here (featuring Powell, Bruce, Moore and Airey):
That track always owed more than a bit to Cobham's Quadrant 4 (with Bolin, Hammer and Sklar) in my ears:
Airey and Moore had a mutual high octane jazz rock history from Colosseum II:
And Airey and Powell had played together in Cozy Powell's Hammer (and of course later on in Rainbow):
All four of them, while earning money with more accessible music, had therefore dabbled with jazz rock: Airey & Moore in Colosseum II, Powell with The Jeff Beck Group and Bruce on several of his more jazzy solo outings. For someone who had played with Ginger Baker, Bruce's fondness for Cozy Powell - a heavy-handed drummer - might seem strange, but he did hold him in high regard. I remember an interview where he lauded him for not joining Led Zep after he allegedly got the offer following Bonzo's death.
I had posted some Cozy Powell stuff here a year or two ago. But I had no idea that's where Jack and Gary met. I really like "Killer."
