Used to be a lead singer in a pretty good bar band, mostly classic rock and we used to kick a s s at parties back before I got married and dull and boring like you guys. — BravesFanSince80’s

That’s nothing. I used to be the “MainMan” (president) of the Gliese 581 c (of the Gliese 581 solar system), before I was ousted from their solar system for marrying a :SBaZZxorb. (apparently, that wasn’t Kosher)

If others want to attack each other, that is not something I am going to get in the middle of. I don’t fire personal attacks, and I take offense when others do it to me. Other than that, y’all are on your own

bravefaninbc, I don’t know why you’re even saying anything about me whatsoever, the few posts you had today were almost entirely bashing someone, practice what you preach dude, rude is as rude does man. have no idea who Lou is, somebody who’s a Lou Piniella or Lou Brock fan I’m guessing? Why is it you and several others immediately start trying to guess somebody’s identity if they’re not on here much and don’t agree with your every word?

Some friends and I pretended to have a band one night to pick up some chicks in a bar in Americus. Claimed to have an album released, I was the lead singer.

Anyway it worked, cause they left with us……….. Or maybe it was just that we were all, very young, horney and drunk.

There’s a scene in the Blues Brothers movie that flashes to the police headquarters. In the background are two “Comten” front end processors (connects multiple users to a mainframe computer in the 70’s and 80’s computer world.

They are blue and the size of two refridgerators side by side.

I worked for that company back then and when the movie came out it was big news in our company.

I’m not sure what I like best about the Tigers signing Prince – (1) the Tigers offense in 2012, (2) the Tigers offense in 2013, or (3) the fact that he didn’t sign with the Nats. . . . Actually, I do know what I like best! :) But (1) and (2) aren’t bad either! :)

I’m not sticking around tonight, too much going on elsewhere, but I couldn’t let today’s news go without a comment.

Ha, here is a radio ad for the place. It seems this was after the place had been shut down for a while. I remember them closing it and it never was the same after they opened back up. The Police were rather narrow minded about some of the stuff we smoked back in those days. I’ve never heard of this band………..

Give ol’ Paulie a pass, cabravesfan. His extremely immature, pouting rage stems from jealousy.
Hell, look at how well your 49ers have improved since last year, and the future they have.

cab, yes. that is just a killer of a song, The original video was released by Adele to her fans Nov. or Dec. a year ago, and I remember I listened to it 10 times a day for a solid month and was just amazed at how good it was. And I’m still not tired of it.

cabravesfan

January 25th, 2012
12:10 am

ken-

it is a great song (if you listen to the very end of the LInkin Park video, Chester thanks Adele for writing it)- their cover is just different enough to make it, in my opinion, as good as the original (or very close) (Linkin Park is probably my favorite band, so I may be a bit bias… ;) )

kenhotlanta

kenhotlanta

12:15 am

cab, I completely understand. Metallica has done a lot of great covers, too, as has Pearl Jam. I always appreciate bands who aren’t afraid to take on a song just because it’s a great song even if it doesn’t fit their style.

cabravesfan

January 25th, 2012
12:18 am

ken-

That is something I sort of love about Linkin Park- I’ve heard them do everything from mellow songs like Rolling in the Deep to hard rock to quasi rap. They can and do pretty much cover most of the popular genres.

cabravesfan

January 25th, 2012
12:22 am

Also- they don’t do a lot of covers. I think they chose to do that one because they thought (like you and I and many others) that it was a great song and they were in her home town- I have also seen a clip of Chester and Mike sitting in plastic chairs in front of a random group of media, with one acoustic guitar playing Rolling in the Deep while looking at the sheet music spread on the floor (they were at some festival in Germany and it is one of the coolest clips I’ve seen)

Yeah, I hear you brother. Those were good times, before the Aids epidemic put a damper on the free love days.

Bat, I know exactly what you mean about the ones you always remember. I took my daughters to Six Flags when they were young and I remember sitting on a bench waiting while they were in line for the Scream Machine and I sat next to a pretty lady from Chattanooga who was waiting on her kids too. We must have talked for 2 hours and I kick myself to this day that I didn’t get her number and follow up. She was the neatest person and we seemed to have so much in common.

Really “Drive”. Still don’t understand why everyone thinks that movie is so good. The first getaway scene was good, then there is a 30-45 minute dead period (actually don’t know how long but up to the robbery) then it picks up. But honestly I couldn’t tell if Gosling was autistic or just dumb in this movie. I actually could have cared less what happened to him and that coat was obnoxious. Ok the fight scenes were pretty good, but the rest of the middle of the movie was like watching paint dry…don’t see what all the fuss was about. 2 star movie IMO.

I’m not sure that the Braves will be better, but I agree that another collapse is not very likely.

maybe it was more than just several beers
