  Singer Songwriters who should be household names....

  by hillary_step in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  over the decades musicians rise and fall like a spring wind.

  some stay where they should never be, some never are where they should be; such is the roulette of time.

  this thread is dedicated to singer songwriters who influence the rest of the best, but are seldom known - 'gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars...' .

  Does Wearing Your Nations Uniform Automatically Ensure a High Moral Ground?

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i realize that the contents of this thread may enflame the passions of those on all sides of the house.

  if your sensibilities are easily damaged, you take yourself to seriously, or your humor is wanting, then be warned this may not be the thread for you.. i have been reading with interest a thread on this board today that is discussing the treatment of us veterans.

  i have noticed that when such subjects are discussed there is an automatic assumption that those who don the uniforms of their respective nations, they somehow are automatically walking on a higher moral ground.. i find it all the more puzzling that those who cry the loudest for 'special' treatment for soldiers, and by special i mean as compared to the rest of the working masses, seem to be of an republican bent.

  Einstein on God....Rare Letter At Auction

  by hillary_step in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this rare letter gives us a good insight into the 'religious' views of einstein, oft quoted by mainstream religionists in the hope that they could glean from him some allusion to his belief in a conventional 'god'.. why his views on god or even the rear end of marilyn monroe would be of much interest has always eluded me, but it is just as well that we all know that einstein did not believe in any god, at least not in the conventional sense, so that defenders of the bible and a god free of sociopathy are not tempted to haul his einsteined majesty before the court of debate again.. http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/articlenews/story/ctvnews/20080513/einstein_letter_080513/20080513?hub=scitech.

  burn the ships: osama bin laden has long blonde hair and a tattoo of jesus on the left orb of his arse.. hs : no he has not...got long blonde hair i mean.. burn the ships: you admire osama so why should we believe you?

  in fact as you admire osama why should we believe that god does not exist or that the republican party is not a gigantic cuban string vest?.

  hs: where have i said i admired osama burn?.

  Progressive Rock Music?

  by hillary_step in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  i place a question mark on the thread title as i have never read a definition of this genre of rock music that seemed to fit the bill.

  what is generally agreed is that it is a european musical phenomena that began in the late 60's and peaked in popularity in the early 70's though it has always had an audience and one which seems to be growing in popularity again.. my own definition is one that suggests: 'music in which the musicians can move from jazz to rock to pop to classical and back again with equal ease'.

  i am sure that simplifies things.

  I Need A Good Tearburst - Have Not Wept For Many Months.

  i have always been a sucker for a good soppy love song, .

  last night i was wading through my huge vinyl collection, pulled an album long-not heard and spun this track on the rack.

  though penned almost forty years ago, i have to say, it is still a very handsome song indeed.. coming back to me.
