QuoteRocky Dijon Oof, this got unpleasant quickly. As much as the women in their lives can be celebrities in their own right, it's still people's private lives. Largely, that should be held at arm's length out of respect. If any of us were celebrities, would you want message boards out there discussing whether your wife just married you for your money and fame or to suggest you jus

Sure, steffalicia. But if you have passed menopause chances are very slim to make your dreams come true (...by you I mean women in general, not you specifically). That is the pattern I'm trying to point out. Moral (or jealousy) has nothing to do with it.

Sure, you have a point there Doxa. Reality is not always black or white, sometimes it's grey. I was trying to see the overall pattern here. It doesn't matter if it's Jagger, De Niro, Pacino or Murdoch. There is a correlation between famous, rich old men and young fertile women. Both parts, apparently, has something to trade in that equation.

Besides fame and money there are other reasons, of course, that young women, like Ms Hamrick, wants to marry their 80 year old: Social acceptance and respectability. If they marry it wouldn't be considered just a fling or a love affair anymore. It would be respectable. In Sir Michael's case it will never happen though of course. The reason he supports his lovers careers is also in his v

The thing is that an album isn't a big deal anymore: It's all about singles and streaming. So an album from a big artist will have news value a couple of weeks around the actual release; then it will quickly fade away. Let's hope they have a really good single though, with some staying power.

The prime function for a father is, or at least used to be, to be the the economical provider for the family. With these kind of arrangements this is already taken care of. And with a vagabond lifestyle as Sir Michael's his children won't be that emotionally attached to him - rather more to the mother.

Daily Magazine is just gossip of course but a marriage would be a jackpot for her. The common child is a security for her but with a marriage she would strike gold. Sir Michael is beaten by Al Pacino in this respect though: Al is to become a father again at 83 with his 29 year old girlfriend Noor Alfallah. Bobby De Niro recently became a father, for the 8th time, at 79 also. So there is compe

Emotional Rescue was the lead single and the one you remember. Not exactly rock and roll though but somewhat trendy at the time. Dance is a groovy beat and She's So Cold a decent upbeat rock song. The rest? Well... All in all a 2/5 album.

QuoteTopi What I meant by marketing is that the NHL has succeeded in making the league increasingly popular in Europe in recent years. And of course it's about money in a lot of ways.

QuoteTopi 1936 was also the Olympics. There was no separate World Championship tournament held back then. From 1920 to 1968, the Olympic hockey tournament was also considered the World Championship for that year. You're right of course, Topi. Sorry for my lapsus. And you're right about USA winning against The Soviet Union also. That was the big sensation.

I don't think so, DGA35. Germany is a football country first of all, hockey is a secondary sport there. But surely there would be some celebrations? And the World Champions these days aren't really what they used to be before The Wall came down. Which is a pity since it's the only international tournament around. It's all about the NHL these days. Even in Europe.
