I was speaking metaphorically (and rather sarcastically), of course. I not only think Guantanamo should have been closed long ago, but agree that it should never have been put to such use in the first place.

<t>Much the same is happening here in my area. As was stated in the article, "It's a little bit of a loss of innocence..." It's also a loss of a lot of fun for movie goers. This may extend to all costumed events, such as Trekkie conventions and showings of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." ...

<r>I've personally always been partial to those orchestrations which stir the stronger emotions in me. While all music stirs emotions, I've always been partial to Tchaikovsky (with a significant tip of the hat to Bizet). While the "1812 Overture" is certainly one of my favorites, my all-time favorit...

<t>This was posted on my News feed this morning, and it greatly amused me (and apparently, the quoted comments greatly amused the person who posted it): Quotes from the evening: "I love Barry White's voice. If he sang to me 'Take out the garbage, bitch', I'd do it naked." ...

I spent it correcting computer problems that popped up all of the sudden. I think they were due to the time change.

<t>Oh, it certainly is sad! Why these mothers can't take advantage of the faultless give-up is completely beyond me. At least the poor baby would be safe and cared for! I can (barely) understand not wanting the responsibility for a child, but when such a program is available and a mother ...

Yes, still here. We still have a couple of hours to go, though, so I'm still holding out hope! :p

<r>Oh, you aren't by any means. I'm mainly a creature of the late '60s/'70s era. If a thread is started for that decade (and I've considered it), I can simply hammer it. I have roughly 60 GB of .mp3 (and some .ogg/vorbis) files, and the vast majority of those are '70s era. My bet is I can post some ...

<r>This one, too! These two particular songs were favorites of one of the guitar players I know in this area. At the time he played with a band called "Bazooka Joe." I sat in with them several times. <YOUTUBE id="8hhu-OyHqZM"><URL url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hhu-OyHqZM">http://ww...

I used to play this when I sat in with bands in the mid-'90s

<r>Most of the posted videos by the drummer in my next submission, Jon Hiseman of Colosseum fame, are between 8 and 12 minutes long. So as not to hammer you with extremely long submissions, I found this one which is only 4 minutes long: <YOUTUBE id="EocPTLFvFPk"><URL url="http://www.youtu...

Sure! Bongos are drums too, after all!

How does he keep up with all those drum sticks?

That looked hard, Carl! :yh_hypno

<r>Thomas Lang is a great drummer! As a matter of fact, his style of playing reminds me of a drummer I know here in the local area. Here's another great. I remember seeing ELP in 1973 when they were on their Tarkus tour. <YOUTUBE id="PrfqVAaR2YQ"><URL url="http://www.youtube.co...

<r>I have listened to many bands over the years, and one of the highlights of any gig or concert for me is a good drum solo. So I propose posting videos of exceptionally good drum solos here. My initial offering: <YOUTUBE id="N97kdlGjspE"><URL url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

It was heavily played here in the States, along with a number of their earlier works. Those were from the '70s, though. I have all their studio albums in my collection, up to that one (Gaucho).

<r>Allmusic says this song (by Joe Jackson) came out in 1982, but I could swear I first heard it on the radio in 1980. It's one of the songs I've really liked down through time. <YOUTUBE id="inrEPapTtMM"><URL url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inrEPapTtMM">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

<t>Yeah, maybe. I don't know how old you are, but I (musically) grew up with the Doobs. Their first album came out in '71, and I remember hearing that album, as obscure as it was at the time. I had graduated from HS in '70, and was at SIUC at the time. I was impressed with that album, but...
