I know the physics are the physics but after all these years I still can't quite envision in my head how that wreck killed a man.

His head inside a heavy helmet basically snapped off of his spine. Car stopped going forward - his head did not. Fairly simple to understand. Hitting the wall the car came to a dead (pardon the phrase) stop. His body was strapped in and stopped. His head was not. It keep going and that was it. Thus the HANS device which now keeps this from happening.

re: "We Built This City" is often labeled as the Worst/most annoying song of all time. BS.

The worst/most annoying song of all time is and always will be "Red Red Wine" by UB40. That Jamaican shite makes me want to go postal.

You either get it or you don't. There are not a million choices of the same item - usually just one. No need to choose between Green Giant, Libby's, Van Camp, etc on your can goods. No need to choose between different frozen pizza, etc. But they generally have everything I need. I am not looking for exotic spices or gourmet products. They do carry some local brands and national brands on select items. And for the most part, other than one or two exceptions, their store branded items are very good. And I am not going to bitch about paying 12¢ for a bag if I need it. You are more than welcome to bring your own or just grab a box off a shelf if you need. It is a grocery store selling everyday items and doing a damned good job of it. Prices can't be beat. And until you try and it and accept this premise you will not get it.

Hardly anyone associates the song Red Red Wine with Neil Diamond. Everyone remembers the UB40 reggae version instead.

The absolute worst song I have ever heard in my life. I get irrationally angry when I hear it.

re: Your big regret(s) in not seeing music artist(s) live in concert

I don't if regret the correct word because I am not sure that I missed an opportunity in the late 70's to see them in the Baton Rouge radius but I really wish I could have seen Thin Lizzy.

Sorry. I don't recall a thread like this in the past. I thought it was someone trying to post an obscure line that not everyone would recognize as being lyrics from the amazing mind of Jimmy Webb.
