Kristen Nuss also went to St. Dominic Elementary School with my son. I ran the intramural basketball league for a couple of years, and at the end of the league there was always a game between the 7th grade boys vs girls. Usually not much of a c...

re: Favorite 1 hit wonder band/song of the 80’s?
Posted by parrotdr on 6/27/24 at 2:34 pm
Gino Vannelli was not a one hit wonder, and "Black Cars" was nowhere close to his bigger hits.
My vote goes to

Hopefully LSU breaks their own record next time.
As of last night, the Aggies and Tennessee were neck and neck around 27,000 shots each. So all they have to do is buy 40,000+ more in 24 hours to break the record. ...

re: Glacier National Park/Whitefish, MT
Posted by parrotdr on 6/24/24 at 9:58 am
Someone else mentioned getting passes, but realize the national park entry pass is different from the pass for the Going to the Sun Road, which can be more difficult to get. Hop on line now.
I’d also recommend parking at Many Glacier Lodge, and taking the long hike to Grinnell Lake/Grinnell.

re: The Smithereens were /are grossly underrated

Agreed. I mentioned them in a thread a while back about underrated bands. Saw them a couple of times back in the day and they were great live!
Here's another good one.

re: Favorite LSU football game in person experience
Posted by parrotdr on 5/15/24 at 1:43 pm
Didn't read through all the pages, but my favorite game (as many others of my age) is the 1979 loss to #1 USC 17-12. Bogus facemask call against Benjy Thibodaux in the 4th quarter, with LSU leading 12-10 and USC desperate on a missed 4th down, continued their drive and led to the loss.
I was a f...

I'm a huge fan of both, but I know this board, in general, are Boss haters. :lol:. Both have those raspy, street voices and use them well. Both are great songwriters with prolific careers. But given the choice, I take the Boss.
