QuotePhillyFAN After the 14 on Fire ahows we realize what a boost to the music MT would bring. I would think this really will be the last multi city tour for them. Im sure MT could use the money and the music really could use MT. The fans would appreciate it and would be a wonderful way to say goodbye if the music was on fire again. The tickets are very expensive amd most of us know what the set

Quotetatters Quotenoughties The song from 1982 that Jackson Browne persuaded him to finish because it was so good, was really so-so, and could stand as the evening`s least common denominator. Sounds like you're talking about "Delta" from the CSN album Daylight Again. This was written during the depths of Crosby's days on the crack pipe, and was the first song he'd c

QuoteGasLightStreet I'm getting a bad feeling that Matty Lice is going to have a really good game and Craplanta will win. Green Bay will beat Dallas. Pittsburgh will handle KC just fine. New England... of course. You're basically wrong week to week on Dallas, at least you're consistent. The only team that had a chance of taking them out on the NFC side was Atlanta, wh

QuoteGasLightStreet After having watched the Detroit Lions shut down the New Orleans Saints (who are strangely still "in the hunt" because the NFC South sucks so bad but are in no way going to so therefor are really eliminated from the 2017 playoffs) I think Dallas is in for a surprise - especially considering they've yet to play a team with a winning record, last I knew anyway.

The Seahawks are a lot like the Bucs from 15-20 years ago, with a slightly better offense. Mostly, though, it's pray you can get on the right side of an ugly score, a la 15-13, 12-10 kind of thing. Hope the defense doesn't have an off day.

QuoteHMS QuoteTravelinMan Taylor was bored with the Stones and quit; remember, they didn't want to tour It's Only Rock & Roll? We can talk about this subject forever, and there will always be people like HMS whose first experience with the band was post-Taylor so they defend that era to the death despite the general decline of quality in performance and material. Maybe they did

One thing I'll say for Dennis D, he's in his late 60s and still sings those Styx hits pretty close to their peak years. He's not out there embarrassing himself like a lot of his contemporaries.

I could pull single lines of lyrics from any artist and say, "look at that stupid line." Just lazy arguments. Dylan's speed-era lyrics from the mid-60s are often complete nonsense on their own, who holds that against him?

QuoteHMS I dont know any other group who gave an ex-member a guest spot like the Stones did. So they were indeed very generous to give MT the opportunity to make a few bucks. He spent some 20 minutes on stage at every gig - a lot of time considering he is only an ex-member who left them out of the blue when they were to record a new album and go on tour in the seventies. I dont know if I would ha

Quotematxil To me, Between the Buttons sounds artificial. Aftermath sounds fresh, spontaneous and honest. With Aftermath I get the feeling the band had a lot of fun exploring their limits (even Brian, apparantly). On Between the Buttons they sound fake. Agree with this. BTB is where they started Trying Too Damn Hard for a couple years, until JJF came along. Aftermath, esp. the UK version, i

Was reading an article this morning about the "Twilight of the Gods", and how Bowie's death is kind of just a foreshadowing of major rock stars checking out, mainly because they're just getting old. Mentioned Dylan, McCartney, Jagger, and Richards as the biggies carrying the banner, but the pace of loss is only going to quicken.

The nods to the past were the perfect way to go here. You get back everyone who was so let down by the last trilogy. Once they're back in, it's wide open for the next two movies.
