re: Popular bands or artists that you cannot take seriously

Pearl Jam - For the life of me I cannot get the appeal of this band. I admit there are a handful of individual songs of theirs that I like, but the overall catalog is boring and... just boring, that's really the best word for it. This band bores me and if you are a huge fan I will assume that you are boring, too.

I can see this. If you listen to "No Code" expecting "Ten" or "Vs.", you're going to have a bad time. They aren't AC/DC... they switched it up throughout their career.

When you have 185 MPH ball speed, you can and should make any adjustment necessary to prioritize accuracy.

I bet Obtuse is into it. I'm sure he'll be chiming in shortly.

Mountain Shadows was a lot of fun. Far and away the best par 3 course I've ever played.

The "lynching" line is so dark / genius. Shane's reaction gets me every time.

Post a pic. My dad gave me his Seamaster from around the same time. It was a chronograph, similar to the speedmaster, so it was a little more expensive to service. I sent it to a guy in kerrville, tx who had good recs. It was around $1200 at the time. He replaced what needed to be replaced but didn't polish the case or remove any patina on the dial.

re: In my opinion Alice In Chains was the best Seattle grunge band

people on this board fear the downvote so they don’t say what the truly like when it comes to bands some have trashed in the past. So now everyone trashes them. It’s also Wild and embarrassing.

Truly. Pearl Jam gets a bad rap on this board, and I'm guessing it has to do with the band's liberal political stance.

Not saying they're Grunge albums but I'd say after Vs.

Saying Pearl Jam isn't Grunge is wild. The 2 founding members, Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard, were key figures in the Seattle Sub-pop music scene long before "Grunge" existed.

Ten and Vs are great albums, but to disregard everything they did after that is a mistake.

Last Kiss - Pearl Jam

I love Pearl Jam, but I hate this song. Having said that, it deserves to be in this thread.

I’ve personally flown a ton with clubs and never had a problem. Just make sure you have a case you trust, I have the club glove with the metal rod that has always worked great. Take the head off your driver and wrap it in a few towels and put it in your bag if you’re worried.

Do this. Shipping prices are insane.

No they don't. Unless it's a shaft that is made exclusively for them. And if that's the case, it's just another tactic to dupe a customer into purchasing overpriced gear. I'm in a similar line of work, and we get a lot of people who send their fitting sheets to us. CC pricing is astronomical. ESPECIALLY if you have an idea what their cost is on aftermarket golf shafts.
