There is a five-year look back period that makes it very dangerous to start making asset transfers for elderly patients who may need Medicaid to pay in the future.

Does this mean that if a parent creates a trust/will, etc., their assets remain untouchable as long as they do not move into one of these places until 5 years after it's created?

The English countryside is majestic. However, many of the cities there are extremely depressing. They remind me of Rust Belt cities here whose heyday was 50 years ago. I tell people all the time do the London tourist stuff for maybe a day and then get the hell out and dive into the countryside. The Peak District, the Yorkshire Dales, the Lake District, the Cotswolds, the Shropshire Hills, the Malvern Hills, Dartmoor and Cornwall are all places that are absolutely stunning and filled with much friendlier people than you'd expect. The folks in Yorkshire are the friendliest people I've ever experienced on vacation.

Dorset is awe inspiring as well.

Ramrod's 1979 Jeep that he drove in Vice Squad.

This one ought to resonate with just about anyone in Louisiana.

I'd probably go with the basketball regional final loss to Indiana in 1987.

It would have been quite something to see LSU at the Final Four in the Dome, and they were playing great basketball all through the tournament (until the last 5 minutes of that game).

Probably a show at The Varsity in the fall of 1991 with Corrosion Of Conformity/Prong/Bullet Lavolta.

Prong were playing a great set, and about halfway through, a guy near the front turned around and stood with his back to the band for the rest of the set. There was an exchange of some kind between Tommy Victor and the guy right before this, but it didn't seem too heated.

As soon as Prong finished and left the stage, Tommy Victor walked out of those kitchen doors to the side of the stage, walked right up to the guy, punched him and returned to the backstage area. He always came across as not being especially stable.

Where in Baytown did this show happen? I can't imagine any place in Baytown being big enough for that kind of show.

It was at Raceway Park - and yes, the traffic was miserable!

The Breadfan opener was great & unexpected(we didn't have the internet then to tell us prior setlists)

But we did have other human beings who went to those shows and told others about it via other forms of communication.

There was a very active tape trading circuit that existed at the time as well, so it wasn't a huge shock 2 months into the tour (I was at the same show).

Metallica wanted AIC to open for them on the Black Album tour but by the time they formally asked them AIC had already committed to opening up the Van Halen tour. There was nobody out there they wanted so they just didn't have any opener in America on the Black Album tour. I went to the Shreveport show & they just showed a video for about 20 minutes before they came out on stage.

That part is not true.

Skid Row were asked to open the tour, and they declined because they wanted to do their own headline gigs at that point.

Mr. Ulrich's exact quote was, "Believe me, we wanted Skid Row real bad."

"They're so good, even Dale can't screw 'em up."
