THX's Shed (The Pentagon): Stay the hell out! - That means YOU

there's nothing to see

Now there is

Ian, who is that?

Mr. Sysop, you have my permission (!) to edit that out.

Frosti: I was doing research (for my wife) on women's history. Vinnie Reamwas the sculptor of the Abraham Lincoln statue at the U.S. Capitol. I think it's an amazing photo of an amazing talented woman. (plus, she's beautiful)

I have the whole collection of Beatle CDs. I am a Beatlemaniac to this very day.

How old are you JT?

The Beatles rule. I think you just have to find your personal angle with them. Everybody likes the Beatles in their own way. Except the people who don't.

JT has weird musical taste. :-p

Try The White Album if you want to widen your Beatle appreciation. It's got a little bit of everything.

THX - "Older"???? You young whipper snapper!! Hehehehehehe

In my opinion, the Beatles revolutionized music in their time. They pushed the envelope. Each new album expanded the use of technology and non-traditional instrumental music which in turn created new, never before heard "rock n roll". I believe their work laid the ground work for much of the music that has come since.

Elvis? Let's say I've learned to appreciate his music a bit more than I used to...but I don't own any of his music.

I believe their work laid the ground work for much of the music that has come since.

Word up Terry. I feel the same. I also think John Lee Hooker did the same thing for what later became rock and roll.

You don't have to like them, but I think you do need to respect them. IMHO

pre-nixon: ok

pre-1963: elvis wasking

We read. We just don't obey.

Almost three, why?

I'm pretty sure that once they get to that certain lovely age, they will be little smart-alecs no matter what I may or may not have done. Such is the joy of children. ;-)

Trust me darlin' come on listen to me, come on listen to me

I believe we have a John Lennon fan, (or a John Lennon lyrics fan)

JT-

If you're 34, then I think the age excuse lacks wings, because I'm 29, and I got into the Beatles when I was like 13.

I think the most user-friendly Beatles album is Abbey Road . The White Album is good, but if you're not a Beatles fan, then it's probably going to seem to be as many misses as hits. And some of the stuff is just not representative of their overall body of work--like Revolution #9 for example. Or Piggies . Or most of the White Album, really.

I'm a pretty big Beatles fan, but I never made the full conversion to CDs. The only two CDs of theirs I've gotten are Abbey Road and Rubber Soul.

Abbey Road is much less dated, I think.

"One sweet dream
came true
today"

I never made the full conversion to CDs

Does that mean you're a vinyl junkie?

Does that mean you're a vinyl junkie?

No, it means that when I first was a huge fan of the Beatles, I listened to tapes, and so I have all the Beatles albums on tape, pretty much. But theay weren't on CD for a long time, and they've never really gone down in price, and I havem't been buying CDs very much for a few years now, so I just haven't stocked up.

I have lots of CDs - like 500 - just not many Beatles, and not many that I've bought in the past 5 years. ;)

Ian - For a minute there I thought you might have found a fellow vinyl junkie!

Still looking, Terry

vinyl. ick.

i don't care what anyone says about the warmth created by using vinyl and vacuum tube amps. that warmth is essentially noise.

shit, I didn't realize I had posted as sysop. I hate it when I do that. Damn multitasking.

Ian, there's mad vinyl junkies in the Music Refugees folder.

Haven't been there, but I have a lot of vinyl.

Thanks Lance

You don't see many "cassette tape junkies," do you?

I just haven't thrown mine out. I had a fully developed tape-based music library-- like 500 albums on tape-- and I've never had the heart to ditch them. Particularly because there are lots of things that I never upgraded to CD, so the tape is the only copy I've got of whatever it is. Including almost all the Bbeatles albums.

I haven't bought a tape in at least 10 or more years, except blank ones to tape the radio shows I've been on.

My wife talked me into selling all my tapes at a rummage sale when we were moving out of South Dakota.

What kind of radio programs are you on Lance?

Art Bell?

Isn't he the whackaloon who broadcasts all night about alien abductions and government conspiracies and stuff?

I do some broadcasting sometimes on a local non-profit radio station here in Nevada City: http://kvmr.org

Not as much lately, though. For a while, I was sort of co-host of my friend (Edie, co-owner of PF)'s show on that station.

Now, I mainly tape when my sound bites or interviews from my various political exploits are on. Usually local tidbits relating to the Nevada County Libertarian Party.

(or when I call into shows like Art Bell and such. ;)

Cool Lance. Looks like the station in town here that I enjoy listening to. http://www.kfai.org/

What show do you/did you co-host?

Pirate Radio Network on Saturday nights. Not sure if it's still listed; Edie moved to San Fran last month and her show is no more.

What's she doing in San Fran? Is she no longer your business partner?

Still my business partner. She's in San Fran finishing up law school, and taking the bar exam relatively soon.

I just had to be a rebel (like James Dean) and not be just a lurker but let you know that I came in here.

Cool stuff Lance :)

Damn

Hey, are you just rude or can't you read?
