The Outpost Cafe / Re: Music no man should own

I was 17 when Alive II came out, and I sat in the first row at one of the MSG shows. I might as well have the Ethel Merman album.

Speechless. Pretty accurate, at one point in my life anyway - and entirely appropriate. A thousand thanks!
I am leaving now to be fitted for my uniform/costume, made of brown neoprene.

« on: March 17, 2009, 11:10:34 AM »Since when has the US ever accepted good advice from the outside when it had the option of doing it wrong on its own first?
Flawed logic here - This implies that there has been, at some point, good advice from the outside.

Insert "raspberry" here...

I will not rest until we stop IDing engine sizes by liters. LITERS?!
It's an engine, not a g*d*mned bottle of fizzy water!

Also a "not rod".
It's been an ongoing project for 23 years.

The Outpost Cafe / Re: GMC Denali
« on: March 11, 2009, 06:22:42 PM »That being said, I'd rather the whole company sank than see my childrens' future mortgaged so that GM can survive.
If our kids' futures are being mortgaged, it's due more to the money that is being funneled to banks, insurance companies, and a plethora of special interest programs. The amount that is going to Detroit is *comparatively* small.

The Bass Zone / Re: Bass Player Forums - a gripe
« on: March 11, 2009, 03:29:25 PM »I'm relentlessly dead-serious and encircled by germanophobes who simply won't forgive me how we almost won the war.
See, this is how they get you. Uwe has posted pictures that were taken in his old basement - he is, without a doubt, hiding something (or someone) down there.
And here we thought they all went to South America...

Gibson Basses / Re: I still believe ...
« on: March 11, 2009, 01:39:15 PM »
Fender guys have been pooh-poohing Gibson basses forever. You know the old saying "Penis envy is the sincerest form of flattery." I remember back in '79 or so, a local P-Bass player came to a rehearsal and kept shaking his head, looking at the Thunderbird. He came up to me afterward and asked how I got "that sound" out of my Ampegs. "But Mike", sez I - "you have the same rig! It's the Thunderbird sound that you REALLY want". He walked away muttering "no, no, no".
Nothing wrong with a Fender, or variant thereof - I play mine plenty - but a P or J will never be a TB or EB.

10s? You want 10s?

This probably should be in "Other Brands", but will be of obvious interest here...
