Jack Daniels was Sinatra's tipple of choice.

Not really my place to speculate on what Vince should or should not be doing with his life, but I am just glad there wasn't some numb nut packing heat in there who decided it would be a good time to show everyone who the real man was.

I don't think anyone wanted to call Ginger Baker a rock drummer to his face. He stated publicly many times that he hated rock. I once attended a seminar where someone asked him about this, and he said that if he had known in 1966 that he, and Cream, would be thought of as the spark that begat heavy metal, he would go back in time and abort the whole thing. He considered himself a jazz drummer stuck in a rock world. Although perhaps not as adamant about it, Mitch Mitchell also felt the same way about rock, and considered himself a jazz drummer first.

I second the motion for Ginger Baker: And I'll leave a couple others for your consideration: Mitch Mitchell: Harvey Mason:

I'm no great evaluator of talent, but it looks to me like 91 has been skipping leg day. Compare and contrast with number 95.

So...I guess you felt lucky...and made your day...but don't forget that every man's got to know his limitations. I'll see myself out.

Seriously...I thought people figured out that if you bathe a bit more frequently, you won't have these odor problems...and maybe change your underwear before going out and about.

Perhaps, within a year or so your daughter will see this as her theme song: Nice write-up you provided. I enjoyed reading it. Although my Texas roots are wafer thin compared to yours, and I haven't lived in Texas since graduating from UT in 1983, I still feel more Texan than Virginian, and I've been here since leaving Texas. As others have stated above, once Texas becomes part of your life, it's always part of your life.

My time in Austin was from autumn of 1979 through summer 1983. Vulcan Gas Company was long gone by then, but was still one of those places you heard about from "the good ol' days". The Armadillo was still open when I arrived, but closed while I was still there, and I am still kicking myself for never going to see a show there. I did have tickets once to see Johnny Winter in spring of 1980, but the show was cancelled due to some "injury" to Johnny, which I took to mean he had OD'd or something. I did see him later that summer in Houston, so all was well, but back to the Armadillo. Although I never went there myself, I do miss it, as it was one of those places that perfectly embodied Austin at its peak. There was no other venue in any other city that could host the likes of Willie and Waylon, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Johnny Winter and Frank Zappa, and have pretty much the same crowd every night...and everyone got along, just there having a good time to good vibes. Austin used to be like that. Differences in opinion didn't make one an enemy who must be avoided and/or silenced. Dammit, I'm old, and I miss my youth.

You said The Armadillo twice...also forgot the Vulcan Gas Company.

Don't forget Todd Marinovich...Robo QB indeed.

This time, Rick's the interviewee. Interesting guy:

Just going to leave this here. Beautiful:

NSIAP, something for you guitar guys to look forward to: https://www.msn.com/en-us/music/news/we-think-of-jimmy-as-an-ambassador-emeritus-of-guitars-and-a-music-trailblazer-in-the-birth-and-evolution-of-rock-gibson-and-jimmy-page-are-teaming-up-for-a-multi-year-partnership/ar-BB1iLL8l?ocid=mailsignout&pc=U591&cvid=516cfbac018d483ca17119e789830d7a&ei=19

Once again, pussy is undefeated.

This HCU pitcher is going to hurt somebody before long.

The main difference that aggy does not seem to understand is that Sark has already won a championship, something aggy hasn't done since 1998.

Are you allowed to eat jelly donuts?

Ha....batter didn't even wait for ump to make that call.

That was not a good decision on the baserunner's part

Dang...most any other night, that one's out

Welp, there goes the perfect game. Pull him now.

This reminds me, what ever happened to MrPhlegm? Did I miss something?
