Hey BT. Since what's relevant is the extent to which I edit, I'm repeating an earlier post that I've since edited. You're welcome! Here it is: Since you've dug yourself deeper and deeper in your own bullshit about the Beach Boys, nothing you've asked, nothing you've said is relevant, thoughtful or ...

You're in way over your head. Gotta side with Steve on this one. Like any of us, you sometimes post well beyond your knowledge. As is the case here. You once schooled me on those controlling drones. I was well beyond my depth, even though I prided myself on the subject. Listen up, and learn. It's a...

Since you dug yourself in your own bullshit about the Beach Boys, nothing you ask, nothing you say is relevant, thoughtful or mature in any way. The fact that you fail to see this only highlights that point. I'm done wasting my time on this. Please go away. You're singlehandedly lowering the level ...

Yes I keep editing my posts. Because I keep being blown away by the endless variety of ways your response to me was unresponsive and absurd. And I figure that just by sounding coherent and literate, I score big points in this particular contest. I'm sure you, as a surfer, know all about what today'...

What you and your fellow latter day surfers feel about the Beach Boys being "jokes" as surfers is about as relevant to their influence in their time - musical and otherwise - as what girls who wear bobbie sox today think of Frank Sinatra. I can't even imagine a less compelling or thoughtf...

You know exactly what I meant. As in, no one that actually surfed/surfs took/take that seriously.

/quote] Your conclusion that the Beatles were a much greater influence on music than the Beach Boys is correct. But you minimize Brian Wilson's influence. .Among the important or major pop/rock/r&B artists who have covered Wilson/Beach Boys songs are , Alex Chilton, Wire, Red Hot Chili Peppers,...

More importantly.

Good, bad, or ugly... the Beach Boys are not in the same Universe of influence, or importance as the Beatles. Seriously, when you have Count Basie and Sinatra covering you. Even taking into account Coltrane....just how many people would even know who Ravi Shankar was without the Beatles? And that's ...

Building, and or putting things together isn't what bothers my wife....since I am really good @ that. It's sitting through 10,000 hours of subtitles.....and directors cuts of them. Scenes from a Marriage, Fanny & Alexander, or A Brighter Summer Day. Don't even get her started on Béla Tarr, or An...

To me....music, paintings, pictures tell a story. The stories they tell depends on the individual(s) and their life to that point....and it's ever changing as we go through our lives.

Future son/daughter recognizes my voice when I read to him/her. Also kicks/punches/head butts/whatnot in time to the music.

With talk of Wayne Rooney possibly being shipped to Chelsea....am I the only one that finds it amazing he's only a couple years older than me? Seems like he should be in his mid to late 30's.

Speaking of salad bars. Piazza Hut salad bars in China had a rule that you only got one plate and were allowed one trip to the salad bar, which lead to some amazing WTF? creations. For obvious reasons....most of them no longer have a salad bar.

@ the moment we're tentatively going to see a 70mm screening of Vertigo.

Clint: Last two nights we got our Birria & Oaxacan/Mole on. As in, El Parian & Guelaguetza. Always buy four of every Mole to take back. Have to horde the stuff! ;) There might have been some booze involved. No driving. P.S. Ever been to Corazon y Miel? The owner used to be one of the chefs @...

I liked Orange is the New Black a lot. After a few shows I was a bit indifferent but it really grew on me. It was fun. I was surprised to find that much of the high-level story on which the series is based is true. Not the details so much but Piper's story. As I said before....it starts off slow, b...

Most important living, performing and not mailing it in, or just in it for the benjamins like Herbie....and they have to be @ least 60+ and I know some of these are not considered "Jazz" to some of you. Legends....US Edition: Cecil Taylor Ornette Coleman Sonny Rollins (okay, there are nigh...

Clint: Have you ever seen Borgen? I think you would really like it. It's in Danish....the third and last season get's a bit soap operaish....but the first two seasons are the Danish version of The West Wing.... but a whole lot better.

Believe me, I live in FL and I know how looney tunes it is. But c'mon, I was born and raised in da Bronx, can there be anywhere on the PLANET as insane as NYC!? This coming from someone that will always have love in his heart for the Apple, so much so that I still make a point of going to the NY ne...

Sorry, BT, but I don't understand your point here. :? Please rephrase it. Thanks. I mean all the negativity from the "purist" on how both of them play and behave....especially with Puig. Seems all the seem to do is find things to comment about with him. Take for example this from the Card...

Yet, it seems like with Bryce Harper there is a lot of anti-Puig feelings/comments that I don't get from fans/players/reporters.
