That picture AdL posted is sort of homoerotic. Those two guys in the back are (hehe) playing the other guys* instrument. I also dig the added touch of the knee pads.

*I will admit that I don't know who sings "Hot for Teacher" and that I have no idea who those three guys are. But I bet most of you don't know which one is Lance and which one is Chris so I don't feel all that bad about it.

Wait a minute--you think Joan is funny?

Also, Enrique made it without using his dad's name and only later started marketing under his actual name.

I agree on the Melissa Rivers issue, but Enrique Iglesias is pretty talented, and though I am sure his father's celebrity helped him get an in, he has certainly taken advantage of it to build his own rep.

But the early Elvis stuff (Sun Records and early RCA) is hardly watered down. Inspired by the blues and gospel that came before it, but not no more a rip-off than the work of the more creative elements of modern hip hop. And Scotty Moore's guitar kicked ass.

You are right about early Elvis (and by that I mean before the '56 "breakout" crap). Went to Sun Studios a couple years back and listened to some of the early stuff. Elvis was one of the greatest vocalists ever. But after RCA got hold of him, he turned into a moneymaking machine and it became less about the raw talent. The point is that he was one helluva vocalist (as opposed to a writer) so accusing him of ripping off or watering down is sort of off topic.

BTW, did Nashville on the same trip. Memphis rocks but the city of big hair was not nearly as fun. YMMV.

How the fuck can you not know Van Halen sang hot for teacher? I don't think there were any boy bands around when that was popular (maybe New Kids on the Block, but I'm not sure)

Umm, homoerotic? How about blatantly homosexual, at least David Lee anyway. Can anyone tell me how that guy ever became a HETERO sex symbol? Baffling.

The Beasties, Eric B and Rakim, BDP, PE... that's sampling.

Dre, Snoop... that's liberally using PFunk and seventies funk influences, and improving on the grooves.

Puff Daddy and that new Eminem song (Dream On)... that's theft. And bad theft. I have yet to see a single redeeming piece of work by P Diddy - he sucks completely in every possible respect.

S(fuck P Diddy)D

It's a mystery why anybody buys P Diddy's albums (and a mystery why he insists on dressing like a high-priced Italian whore, but that's a whole nother question).

But you are wrong, wrong about Dr. Dre or Snoop Dog improving on PFunk or other 70s funk influences. They're great rappers, fine. But they can't improve on the funk. They just can't.

Enrique Iglesias?
Have you ever seen the parody of Joan Rivers (don't remember who does it), where she says -- in her throaty voice with obnoxious Longuyland accent -- "Help! My daughtah has no talenT" -- pretty amusing.

Enrique Iglesias? Well, I can understand that one. He may have no talent, but he has other, uh, attributes... (hubba hubba!) :waggle:

ABBAKiss 04-03-2003 02:44 PM

Because -- get this -- I was not allowed to listen to the radio until I finally defied my parents in mid high school. If it wasn't played as an oldy but goody during my college years or after, I probably haven't heard it. I think I saw the Thriller video for the first time in maybe 1999. Good lord I was pathetic.

I have gotten some very funny PMs lately and wanted to save them so I checked them and clicked on "Move" and now they are moved. Only I dont know where they went. I also hit message tracking and saw several messages in there but not alltheones I sent. So whats up with that feature? And I still cant figure out how to get to my oldest messages.

and no I havent gotten your pms or any others that the little lawtalker emails in my paigow email have told me were attempted. I cannot understand this pm thing at all . grrrr.

When I look at Enrique Iglesias, I think Richard Thomas.* That is why the idea that anybody finds him hot is inconceivable (say it like Wallace Shawn with the lisp and everything)


*And if you're too young to know who Richard Thomas is, (i) fuck you, and (ii) he was an asexual actor who starred on a 70s show called the Waltons and then went on to glory in TV movies of the week and various Love Boat/Fantasy Island guest shots where he played an earnest young and then earnest middle aged asexual man.

JFF,

Correction. Her body will NOT be destroyed by kids. I married her in part because she's insanely vain. I hit the gym daily and she runs.

The deal is, if one of us gets fat, that one gets lipo. And I'm willing to go bankrupt to ensure that she stays every bit the woman she is right now.

"Kids" is an excuse far too easily used by fatties who don't feel like hitting the stairmaster. In the same vein, men use "Well... I work a lot" to excuse getting a huge gut. I call bullshit on both. Either get your ass to the gym or get it to the plastic surgeon... one of the few perks of being a lawyer is being able to afford the plastic surgery if necessary.

Don't know him. Limited to seven hours of TV per week (had to fill out a form based on the TV listings and submit to parents for approval and scheduling conflicts with my sisters!!!!!!) and The Waltons never made the cut.

I think I need counseling.

Funny, I think I need counseling because I was permitted to watch far too much television. I am almost at the point that I cannot have a conversation without a television reference. It sucks when people you work with just don't get the references. For example, if I were working on something that called for a matter of judgment, and I had an opinion on it but not a lot of experience in the matter to back up that opinion, I might say, when talking to a more experienced person or one who might have a different opinion on the judgment call, "I'm just a caveman."

Do you really think that deserves a blank stare, or are my colleagues just uninformed fogies? I mean who doesn't know that the next line is "your laws frighten and confuse me" ???

I think you get too much flak on these boards. Nobody ever recognizes you for your subtle segues. The way you gently steer conversation to topics that interest you without anyone's realizing it until after it's happened is a trait I admire. I would like to go on record as saying that I shall never ignore you.

We didn't have to schedule it, but we were pretty much limited to Wild America, Nova, 321 Contact, and various educational programs. Oh, and Monty Python. On a really good week we'd get to see Wonderful World of Disney, but only if we were angels. In Jr. High I watched a lot of Dr. Who.

Once they caught me watching the Jeffersons - that was a big no-no.

I didn't listen to the radio until mid-HS either, but I had ABBA tapes (I am not making this up) which were permitted.

Well, truth be known, I prefer the politics board. I only come over here when that board is dead. You all could keep me off this board if you'd post over there. There are too many conservatives over there. I feel like we are all just ganging up on Tyrone all the time. I feel sorry for him. :cry:

We were only supposed to watch PBS and the football channel, and I didn't know that there were any other channels on the TV until I was five or six. Someone forgot to turn off the TV after a football game and my first segue from educational programming (football was considered educational) was the James Bond movie You Only Live Twice. My mother had to sit down and explain to me that all the people that James Bond had killed were actors and that he didn't really hurt any of them and that no one person could do that. It was traumatic. After that I think that she let me watch more non-educational fictional TV. My dad to this day still proclaims pretty much everything on TV (except for sports, that's still educational) "crap."
