  1. Question on Eruption.   Eddie has said that in the version that made it onto the album he made a mistake near the top.  Anyone know where he thought he made it?

     

    Because the album version seems damn near perfect to my ears.

  2. If I were the DNC, I would gather ANYONE that I think the DoJ might go after (Hunter, Hillary, etc), charter a big ass boat out of Panama or the Bahamas  that is  provisioned for 29 days and set sail.  Stay out of US territorial waters and maybe even the western hemisphere.  Go dark as far as the DoJ can see and then on Tuesday afternoon, pull into port somewhere, open up online with an interview on CNN or MSNBC and go all "Nanner, nanner" on Trump.

  3. I had never heard the story about EVH winning the piano contests and I'm feeling pretty cocky now because...

    I took piano lessons for two years as a kid.  End of year one, at our recital, I finished 2nd out of 30-40 1st year players.  I couldn't read music but my sister could and she'd play my songs for me and I would memorize them by sound.  Got good enough that I was playing on par with her the next year and she was a 4th year by then.  Took 1st among the 2nd years, and because my mom had told me "2 years of lessons and then you can quit if you want" I walked out if the recital and never took another lesson.   

    I regret that to this day.   But I have a guitar that I can't play for shut and I know that has nothing to do with reading music.

  4. Rick Beato said it during his talk today.  This is the end of an era.  I know rock has kind of been stagnant for several years if not decades but EVH is a Rock God.  Truly the end of an era.

    Don’t cry. Spark one up while jammin out on your porch, then go fuck. It’s what he would have wanted. RIP legend.

    Learned the phrase "Puff, puff, pass" as a 13 year old at the Summit during the 1984 tour.  I didn't partake but I was definitely in a contact high.

  6. I used to be able to name every song in order from the original DLR fronted Van Halen albums.   And each song's running time.  Van Halen is my favorite name by a long bit.  EVH might have been an asshole but I'm with anyone says he's a top 3 guitarist of all time and arguably the best.  

    It took me a few minutes to let this sink in.  I knew his cancer was going to kill him young but that doesnt make this any easier.   I'm not a happy camper right now.

    There is no God. Trump will survive. 

    That might be best case scenario.  But after a solid 3 week stay at Walter Reed so he can't say this is no big deal.  he gets out right before the election and has like 6 days of very little campaigning.  He looks week, his base sees this for what it really is (an ass kicking disease) and he goes down in flames.

    Bwahahahaha... if I'm worried about catching something I'm probably not going to the fuckwit that caught it for "guidance".

    We need to think about who has access to the POTUS if after being told they might have been exposed to a deadly virus that their reaction is to contact the WH to ask what to do.    They aren't calling their doctors but the WH.   Our system is broken.

  9. Honestly, I do see a positive in this for Trump.    If he doesn't get worse or even just has milder symptoms, he still gets to use the "see, it's not that bad" card.   Now, how good does that do with any undecided voters?   Not sure.  But he'll be on TV ranting and raving about how he beat it.   

  10. It would not surprise me at all if there was a Kids First (type) group at work in Humble ISD.   Back in August, there was a huge push to get back F2F.   They ended up with a slight suspension on that but then, almost out of the blue, the school board called a meeting on Tuesday after Labor Day (announced it on Friday but almost impossible to find any written announcement) with the goal to go back F2F full time for high school and middle school instead of an A/B schedule.   It passed, like 8-1.   

    And guess, what?   We're seeing cases almost daily at our high school now.   Nearly 100 in the district just since we went back F2F grades 6-12 (as of September 21.)
