[quote]Is he going to overtake Ken Jennings and James Holzhauer? [/quote] Money wise, he has a long way to go to catch Holzhauer and Jennings. He has about 40% of what James won in regular games. Number of games, he may well pass Holzhauer in the next two weeks. He is not even half way to Jennin...

[quote]All players of all skill levels can benefit from lessons, even if it's an exercise to get a skilled player out of his own ruts and into new territory. FYI, Randy Rhoads was taking classical lessons at the time of his death to grow and expand as a player. And part of the reason Mark Tremont...

[quote] Did anybody look into whether Mr. Holmes was "inspired" by anybody to do his own version of this? [/quote] I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that since this song was the subject of litigation, AND LZ has quite a bit of money to buy legal help, that the song was likely heavily res...

"A large purple monster who was first introduced in November 1971 as the "Evil Grimace". In Grimace's first appearances, he was one of the original main antagonists and was depicted with two pairs of arms which were used to steal sodas and shakes.

In addition to the ones listed, one of the most memorable ones for me was the murder of Fred Schmidt in 1978 at the Red Lobster (Florida and Airline). I was a kid in BTR when that happened and it made an impact on me. Probably because my family had been to that place, so it was the first murder that...

Charlie is an absolute legend in so many ways. A huge loss for the world. [quote]I first saw the Stones at the Assembly Center show, can't remember if it was '74 or '75.[/quote] [link=(https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-rolling-stones/1975/lsu-assembly-center-baton-rouge-la-53d6f349.ht...

[quote]You can’t hear anything on it. Its all muddy bass and muddy drums. The voice is out the front but there is no clarity to it.[/quote] I only listened to What Is Life, 2001 remaster and the 50th Anniversary remix/remaster. I thought the 2001 remaster sounded better. The vocal is clearer and ...

[quote]For years when I was a kid I thought "Hard Luck Woman" was by Rod Stewart instead of Kiss.[/quote] Paul wrote it thinking it might be something Rod Stewart would record. But after seeing the success of a ballad could bring with Beth, KISS decided to keep it and record it themselves. ...

While some Squiers might be upgraded to a nice guitar, a Bullet is the least likely to make it. If you have the price of a USA Strat (which seems to be about $1300), you can get a nice rig. If I were in your spot, I'd get a much better guitar and a somewhat better amp. You could get the USA Strat wh...

[quote]Runaway” is Bon Jovi[/quote] Well... it is Jon, but none of the other members of the classic lineup were on the recording.

Briscoe says "knicked him [Hamlin] in the right rear quarter panel" The replay shows this to be completely untrue. He was nearly in the center of the bumper when Hamlin started to spin. Either Briscoe isn't remembering correctly or he is one of the all time great fabricators of reality. ...

If that pic is actually of Lydon, he's lost a lot of weight since then. Here is his appearance on a Brit Chat show earlier this year. You can only really see his face, but it's far thinner than the pic you posted. He is currently taking care of his wife who has Alzheimer's. [link=(https://www.t...

[quote]I know it’s internet cool to bust on Joe Buck, but he was by far the best guest host for Jeopardy. [/quote] Agree. One of the things that most, if not all, of the guests hosts lacked is the ability to create or enhance drama. Some of the shows with other hosts were dull and empty. Buck is ...
