The clothes sucked, the economy sucked but the
music rocked and rolled! Just because you happen
to like Donny Osmond and The Partridge Famly is no license
to rag on Led Zepp (Led Zep are gods among insects, especially with the people on this list), Styx (Tomo Arigato, Mr. Robato? Gimme a break), Nugent (Another legend), Steve Miller,
The Eagles (A little too country rock for me), The Who (Baba O'Reilly...an underrated classic), The Beatles (good music, bad ideas), Floyd (if you're high...unless its Comfortably Numb...or at the denist), Uncle
Alice Cooper (Ahead of his time), Badfinger, Atlanta Rhythm Section,
The Doors (good music, lead singer: bad ideas), Lynyrd Skynyrd (legends), CDB, Outlaws, Allman Bros (What's the point after Skydog died?),
Jefferson Airplane/Starship (Too drunk at too many shows), Jimi (Ahead of his time there would be no EVH if it weren't for him and Clapton), Queen (Influenced too many Live Aid people later), Raspberries,
TRex, Blue Oyster Cult (Watch SNL, and they'll sum it up), Bad Co, THe Stones (Mick Jagger dancing and looking like a woman, a lot like the other bands mention), AC/DC (How are you infer that I refer to them as sucking!),
Edgar & Johnnie Winter, Chicago (25 or 6 to 4 is ripped off by too many punk bands and not played enough by Classic Rock stations), Boston (refer to AC/DC comments), Kansas (ONE SONG! ONE SONG! OVERRATED!)
and sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
many countless others...YOU FORGOT CLAPTON!?!?! Such a grave injustice...
First of all, the sentence should read, "If Walter Cronkite WERE around..." Secondly, if this assertion be accurate, all that means is that Cronkite would have used his job to throw the election to Kerry. This isn't "news" at all.
Guess he hasn't seen ole Walter lately. I would just LOVE for the crazy old coot to come back to the news game full time. It would be a blessing for our side.
Also, GET OVER IT. Kerry lost. Y'all didn't even like him, you picked a lousy candidate, so stop pretending he was the Great Left Hope already.
I will always believe that Walter Cronkite was the reason the US got lulled to sleep regarding the situation in Iran, and Khomeni's takeover of that country.
His portrayal of Khomeni as a 'freedom fighter' rather than the terrorist fanatic he really was, and suppressing any support for the Shah we should have clamored for has caused the fundamentalistic terrorism we see today.
Yeah, and the south would have won the civil war too! (Sarc)
Well, I suppose the Cold War would have ended with a Soviet victory, so Al is probably right about that.
He is around Al, unfortunately he a drooling lunatic-try another example.
Yeah and Neville Chamberlain won World War II.
SNL should hire this guy as a writer.
If anyone would vote for the President because a talking head says they should, then they should never be allowed to vote.
I like the idea Heinlens idea. Some service should be required to be allowed to vote.
These guys are really nuts. They have reached rock bottom and have started to dig.
The problem was (and is) the liberals wanted us to lose; hence, Senator Frank Church and other RATS passed a bill that did not permit the use of our air power in support of the South Vietnamese. When this didn't work, then they witheld all funds to the South: quite quickly the North Vietnamese sent T-54 tanks and a large invading army to take the country.

Careful. When you provide commentary on a
few off the list you had better be able to
provide commentary for all!! Otherwise,
methinks you don't know who they are!!
bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
And no, I did not forget EC. I simply
didn't pull up his name when I hastily
assembled the list. But, while I'm here.
Traffic, Free, Yardbirds, Blind Faith,
Cream, Iron Butterfly (In A Gadda Da Vida
baby), Kinks, Ronstadt(all covers but that
girl could sing), Jackson Browne, James
Taylor(In his mind he'd be better off in
Carolina or Mexico), Rod Stewart(pre-disco stuff),
Creedence, Molly Hatchet, Smokey & the Miracles,
Diana and the Supremes, Grand Funk, Billy Joel,
and the list goes on and on.

You're very welcome.

It should read, "If Walter Cronkite were around today ..."
Neuharth ought to know better.
