I haven't heard one band that can even approach Geddy Lee, Neal Peart, & Alex Lifeson.

Absolutely. That's talent.

The Turd Ferguson's these days have none.

Ironically, Republicans are responsible for the decline of liberalism.

By giving in to the social safety net, drowning the country in debt, and taking away the libs' causes like Medicare prescription drugs and unbridled immigration.

When Republicans = Democrats, there is no longer a reason to suffer being labeled a 'liberal' because the middle of the road is much wider. In this environment, real conservatives and liberals are consigned to the sidelines as 'extremists'. The 70% middle rules with the result that the Constitution is treated as roadkill by most of the judiciary.

Just look at Bush the 'compassionate conservative'. Is he really a Reaganite ? The answer is no.

BUMP

[Screamname]

lol! Yeah, what`s up with that guy? I heard he`s on some sort of major downward spiral, showing up bombed out of his mind all over the place. I guess he realizes Van Halen ain`t nothing without Diamond Dave. Actually I realized he was out of his mind when he decided to bring in Gary Cherone. I mean what`s next, Donny Osmond in Van Halen? "Pa-na-ma! Yeah gang!"

[Clemenza]

Reagan wasn't a Reaganite. Massive spending, a tax raise in his second term, etc. He was no better than Bush on fiscal issues.

"The best, the most hard-hitting"......... "let not your heart be troubled"

I know who you mean, what's his name....the one with "My good friend Charlie Rangel (or John MeMeMeMeCain, or 'The" Reverund Al Sharpton}". It'll come to me in a day or two.

Thank God, Michael Medved is on opposite "my good friend".

[beyond the sea]

You're a Great American.....

;-)

[beyond the sea]

I love it.

[beyond the sea]

It's just poor lighting.

[beyond the sea]

I never thought of that. Great point!

Rock and Roll has not come up with a worthwhile song in at least a decade.

Listen to Alice In Chains "No Excuses" and tell me you think that's true. More correctly, Rock and Roll hasn't come up with a worthwhile song since Alternative faded. Something else will come along shortly and it will get good again.

I mean, how many decades can we listen to the Beach Boys, the Beatles, and other rockers from Rock's better days?

Rock's better days were in the '80's not the '60's. Most of the '60's is mindless crap. ESPECIALLY the Beatles (sorry to all of you Beatles lovers out there)

Hence we hear more and more Rush wannabes. Some are dreadful, vacuous, only dimly conservative, shouters.

I note that Mr. Tyrrell has heard Michael Savage.

[RushLake]

I'm gonna have a shoot out.

His show comes on after Rush's, and if I'm busy with something, I often hear the first 10 minutes or so. What's your excuse? I often listen to the show when I'm at Rush Lake because there's no alternative. One of my all time favorite shows was when he was at the 2004 democrap convention and interviewed Janine Garafalo. He kept trying to get her to say she liked him. He was groveling. She was trying not to be the total ass that she is, but it was obvious that she would have gladly put the zyklon B in the little port on the roof if he were in the chamber.

>>So, I would imagine, is Keith Richards, even though he's been dead for 12 years.

I saw Keef with the New Barbarians in 1979. Our group was leaning against the stage wall, and he was right in front of us, maybe 10' away.

I assure you, he looked like death warmed over, 25+ years ago.

"video killed the radio stars"

[Nathan Zachary]

I don't think so. While i like good ol rock, as said, there is only so much you can listen to, and quite frankly, seeing old Mic sway on stage makes me want to vomit.

[Nathan Zachary]

"What a picture of Mick! He hasn't had plastic surgery/botox treatments, it appears.

Oh but he has! There's just nothing more they can do.

Fear not, The Black Crowes are back on the scene, They release their first ever concert DVD this Monday.

If you have never seen the Black Crowes live, you should, truly a phenomenal band.

Last August I saw them for the first time with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. I now own every one of their CD's and I have seen them 8 times total.

Great music
Extensive catalog
spectacular live performances
Avg ticket price $40
Rock is not dead.

[WideGlide]

Madonna is looking like Hell lately isn't she?

Besides, Rock and Roll has not come up with a worthwhile song in at least a decade.

I dunno. The group Maroon Five has a lot of potential.
