QuoteDandelionPowderman QuoteSighunt Here's an article from Yahoo Sports re: the Five Olympic skiers who were disqualified for baggy outfits. The interesting thing is that the suits these jumpers were wearing had apparently been cleared in earlier jump outings. If they drink or eat too little their suits won't meet the requirements. How crazy and/or OCD is that?

QuoteRocktiludrop I remember an article in a British tabloid promoting his book on Keith where he mentions Keith threatening him with a gun and asking him not to released the book. It was a great book if you haven't read it but very unflattering towards Keith, but I kind of loved all that, just makes it more incredible that Keith is still with us today. When I first got into the Stones

I've always had mixed feelings about the 75-76 tour. For me, it was Jagger's singing and phraseology that got in the way of enjoying recordings of those shows, which IMHO got progressively worse as the tour progressed (given a variety of bootleg recordings I have heard over the years). Probably, the one show I consistently come back to as a representative sample of a good 75 show th

This is a great thread! Lots of great thoughts... Do I have anything new to add? Not really. All the great minds have pontificated and spoken. Seems like the well has run dry (get it?)

QuoteMore Hot Rocks I agree. They should be. Well the Wrecking Crew did most of the music ….and they did also for The Mamas and Papas and they are in. So people can’t use that argument.

I'm going out on a limb here. But with the passing of Mike Nesmith this year, I've slowly evolved and come around to a thought that was previously unthinkable by me. I think that it is about time that the Monkees be considered for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Some people may even argue its a debate not worth discussing (given that some believe) that the R & R Hall
