Whoever would have thought that the UFC looks safe now, compared to a major sport.

this was my wisest post to this date, I know now that Hank would have kicked my ass if we did a UFC fight, but I would have been knocked out quickly. If i lined up across from him in football for a game full of plays the repetitive beatings would have been too much. Better the quick UFC loss.

Re: No Faith in the Moral Standards of the Players as a Group

Sorry, lingering effects of the concussion.

Bingo, tm (and hi!) - that is exactly my take. The Bowie new releases I heard in my early to mid teens were from his avant garde Berlin/kicking heroin phase ("we know Major Tom's a junkie") and the suit-wearing crooner of "Let's Dance." Some really good songs, but not quite as important as the Ziggy/Aladdin stuff from a decade earlier.

In contrast, when the Punk Rock Girl played "Controversy" for me for the first time, and we cruised around Podunkville in her dad's RX-7 with "Sexuality" blaring from the tape deck, I felt like that British dude in the 1920s who caught the first glimpse of King Tut's tomb.

And GGG, Prince may sound like pop to you, but that's only because "Controversy," "1999," and "Purple Rain" had a radical impact on 1980s pop music. I can assure you that while there were some very good pop songs in 1979, they were very different from most pop in say 1988. (Yes, let's not forget Michael Jackson, but still.)

If only you had known to hear it as "Count your pussy." Then, you might have been so crazed you'd have been emboldened to close the deal?

Tell me about it. I really could have used your help in 1981, Hank. That boy just didn't understand much of anything.

So now the standard for "influence" is "it gave Not Bob a hard-on."

I think this is a perfectly valid standard -- as good as any other -- but would be more impressed by any music that had that effect in recent years.

FYI to RT and all eagle cam watchers- they give the "gross shit can happen" warning for a reason. Otherwise do not look at Pittsburgh eagle cam. YWIA

This rhubarb over who is the more important dead musician of our lifetime (read adolescence) packs all the passion and pathos of the "who is the greatest Beatle" wars of the 60s and 70s.
