this is a spin-off of another thread where my *mild and chaste* friend, mouthy, admitted to wanting to meet her dream man, tom jones, and that she would even go so far as to throw her bloomers at him, if that is what it would take to get his attention!

well, the mental picture this painted was far too much for me to bear, so i encouraged her to save her red polka-dotted "unmentionables", not only because she might need them in the future, but because i didn't think she'd have to go that far to get his attention.

and i said that - because of a personal experience with him.

Hey shaft, did you 'flip you wig' when you met Bob?

I sure did Huxley! In fact I felt as if I was in a Zen Arcade! (sorry ha ha ha ha) I am also a real big fan of The Minutemen. While Husker Du is my favorite band from the eighties The Minutemen are definitely the most unique of that era. I especially love "The Punch Line" and "What Makes a Man Start Fires?"

Bob Mould...very cool Shaft.

Thank you Valis. I met him and talked with him for a little while. It was probably 15 minutes but it was so exciting that it seemed like an hour. Someone had to come up to me and whisper in my ear that "Other people would like to talk to Bob" and so I finally left him alone but he was very nice to talk to. Andy AKA Shaft (Can you dig it?)

In March of 2000 Senator John Mc Cain (R - Arizona) came to a rally in my state of Michigan campaigning for the Republican Presidential nomination. Even though I usually abhor right wing politicians I was greatly impressed with him prior to his visit to Grand Rapids and was excited at the chance to see him in person. After he spoke I went and shook his hand and he autographed my Mc Cain 2000 sign. He did win Michigan but sadly his campaign went downhill after that. I have also met Brian Lamb of CSPAN fame and got his autograph too. If anyone listens to the NPR show "Fresh Air" then you will know the host Terry Gross. I met her and have her autograph as well. There is a rather obscure American rock band from the Eighties called Husker Du and I met the guitarist Bob Mould and he signed the cover of the Husker Du tape "Candy Apple Gray" Andy (Shaft)

This site has TV commercials for presidential candidates dating all the way back to 1952! You can see the famous ad from 1964 which cuts from a little girl playing with a flower to a nuclear explosion. There is also the notorious Willie Horton ad too. Watch it again and decide for yourself what you think of it. Do you remember seeing any of these? Did they make any impact on you for good or bad? I'd love to hear any comments you may have about this site. Enjoy, Andy (Shaft)

Kenneson,

There are 25 state quarters out right now. They are released in the order that the states were admitted into the union. So far they have done Delaware through Alabama. Michigan is next. I am excited because that is my home state. Andy

Thanks,

Was it Nixon or was it Humphrey? Did Wallace get any votes in '68? This is the site to find these election results and so much else. Anyone with an interest in American history or politics or both should take a look at it.

Enjoy, Andy
