And Billy Idol -- while nominated this year -- got left out.

The Rock Hall is a joke.
"Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison

I change the station every time it comes on. Every crappy bar band I've ever run across plays that damn song. It just makes me hate it more.

Thankfully, I've never heard anyone attempt and ruin "Tupelo Honey." I love that one.

I'm gonna get roasted and I'm not trying to be contrarian or ironically "hip", but I really like "Never Say Die."

It gets panned regularly and the band generally didn't like it (I think due to the circumstances at the time with burnout, addiction issues, and Ozzy teetering between "I quit" and "You're fired"). It's definitely not like the earlier albums, but there's a lot of good stuff there. "Air Dance" is a personal favorite.

I like "Sabbath Bloddy Sabbath" for similar reasons. Sabbath using keyboards and synths? It worked though...thanks to Rick Wakeman. "Spiral Architect" is another favorite that rarely gets played.
I read that in McCoy's "He's dead, Jim" voice.
Whatever his motivation was, I'm glad Hutson was proven to be the incompetent clown everyone knew she was from Day 1.

It's like they wrote the life Al Bundy...irritating family, miserable job, stuck in traffic, and back to irritating family to start all over again tomorrow. Hence "Psycho Dad" (or the Loch Ness Monster at the door).

Great album. "Murder by Numbers" and "Tea in the Sahara" are hidden gems.
It's awesome, especially the part about Joe Walsh trashing the hotel room with John Belushi. :lol:
He and Henley definitely tried to screw Don Felder. Problem was, Felder was actually a member of Eagles LTD (and an equal to Frey and Henley with each having 1/3 from buying out Randy Meisner and Bernie Leadon; Joe Walsh and Timothy B. Schmidt were band members and "employees" but not members of the corporation). They ran him out of the band and had an undisclosed settlement after years of litigation. When Howard Stern had Felder on and asked him about it, he said he couldn't talk about it. But he hinted that he still got paid every time they played a show without him.

Still, the best story was right before Bernie Leadon left the band. Frey was ranting and raving about how they were going to do this and then do that for the next records, etc. Leadon had enough and poured a beer on Frey's head and said, "You need to chill out, man!"

Bernie was NOT like Randy Meisner. Frey would have gotten his clock cleaned if he'd tried to fight back.

Like you said, incredibly talented but a major jerk. But a lot of great artists (i.e.: Roger Waters) are...
Tough luck if you're in the market for your own...O'Reilly Auto Parts has been sold out for years!

That hefty girl hitting the three reminded me of when Dusty Rhodes hit from downtown in a charity game featuring NWA/WCW stars... :lol:

One of my favorite moments was when that guy confronted Tom at Tiger Stadium after a Saints game and old Benson acted all tough like he could fight a guy a third his age. :spank:
I think there's a lot of truth to that. And it's ironic because old Tom would throw anyone under the bus if his decisions were questioned or his profits were threatened.

Remember Arnie Fielkow?
I'd bet she'd go broke in philanthropy too. She has track record of failure with money.
Gayle will not be allowed to move the team. They'd want good will in the new market. She'll have to sell.

I would never underestimate Zion's ability to underachieve should he play..
It probably would still be that way had the Saints not ruined precious Brett Favre's miracle season.

Oh wait...Favre did that all by himself with that dumb cross-body throw.
I'm starting to feel that way too.

Gayle is quickly becoming a pariah. She better realize that they'll make her sell before they'll let her move, and then the cash cow from the TV contracts ends for her.

We owe him the right to get outscored by 20 in the third quarter one last time. :spank:
It's hard to say which NFL team is the worst of all time, but the Saints only win in 1980 came against the Jets in the Meadowlands.

Fast forward to their game on December 21, 2025 in New Orleans, and that may be two 1-14 teams battling it out in an epic contest. :yack:
