I can't figure out where all this imperialism came from. We haven't added a new state since 1959. We haven't added any new territory since WWII. Sure, there were the Grenada and Panama invasions, but I doubt if Maxmood was very concerned about them. Aside from this, from Vietnam to 9/11, the US too...

It's funny how hostile everyone gets about somebody else having the bomb. For Christ's sake, we have had it for years, still have it, and used it, so who are we to criticize others for wanting the same technology? And, we’re not reducing our arsenal, we’re expanding it. In other words, we are becomi...

Was down on Ocracoke Island three summers ago and went to this little outside bar on Silver Lake Harbor ("The Jolly Roger"). There was a three piece band setting up, so my wife and I decided to hang out. Suddenly, this guy comes out to tune/warm up; he was playing the sweetest riffs I'd ev...

Maybe they burned it down on purpose (to put up the new store). Clearly, they wouldn't have to dispose of all those building materials!

Any Stone Roses or Seahorses stuff. John Squire totally kicks ass.

All I could find was the number for Ace's Catering, but since the address is Chestnut Street, I think it's safe to asume it's the same outfit. Here it is: 536-4176.

Don't call Frank at The Gardens; it's fuckin' hopeless. Find out when he's there and corner that S.O.B. It's the only way he'll talk (he'd be first in line to admit it, too)

It seems to me that production is overrated. If the band sucks, production doesn't matter. It just takes shit and makes it louder shit. And what's with all those flahing lights? Gives me a headache. Just get up there and play. If the band is rockin', they'll draw with monitors for mains teetering on...

The Nuge - Johnstown War Memorial (yes, the used to have real shows there).

All I wanted was a skateboard, but all I got was . . . this stupid sweater!

John -

Loved playing your room with Oliver Twist and Honeythrone. Sorry to see the old girl go.

Thanks for the opportunities.

Here's the thing: bass players are picky sons of bitches. It comes from being sought after. I've played bass for twenty years and want to gig again, but no one (and I mean no one) is into doing what Chris (the drummer I'm writing with) and I want to do. It's a shame. I've avoided posting an ad b/c I...

No Beatles? How absurd! Interesting, though, that they acknowledged The Replacements. Most don't. Rankings are bullshit.

Both you guys are great! It's fun to talk philosophy with people who are passionate and relatively well informed. Be careful, Bassist_25, of over-generalizing (I too fall prey to this!). Nietzsche wasn’t a nihilist because he never denied existence; in fact, he championed it. And Heidegger wasn’t a ...

I fear my point was overlooked too, and that was that religion is as problematic as spirituality: it is all rooted in man's fear of the unknown. (Perhaps I should have suggested that they are one and the same from my vantage point.) And while bassist_25 makes a good point about Kierkegaard being a C...

As Nietzsche once said, "God is dead." Christianity (as well as the other world religions) are simply left over pacifications for the fear of the unknown (which many of us still suffer from). Man fears death; therefore, he clings to the afterlife. But, when the proverbial rug is yanked out...

serendipitously

Guitar: "Love is the Law" - John Squire (of Stone Roses fame)

Don't know it? Haven't heard it?

You should

???

Gotta love The Haven's wings in J-town!

And there was Jerry Stanik (spelling?) from Northern Cambria, I believe. Went to New York and was in "The Lost" for awhile . . . I think they did an album or two.

(If I'm wrong on either count, set me straight!)

There was a band around in the late 80's/early 90's . . . "Lord Tracy." The guitar player was from da 'burgh, I think. I believe I have a CD around here somewhere . . .

, Anybody who slept through an undergrad course in psychology/sociology will tell you one of the causes of the current African American community is a self-fulling prophecy. We're also, as I stated earlier, forgetting to take environmental factors into consideration. When you are conditioned from b...
