  1. Should have know I could search one of those Austin-centric facebook groups and find it... it was Janet Stockard
  2. OK I'm a bit buzzed, but don't THINK I'm going crazy, this is for the oldsters. Back in the 80's 90's could have been early 2000s, there was another female lawyer here in Austin, she was blonde, kind of a perm hairstyle and wore what I can only describe as a Boy George hat, or a pork pie hat I guess. I cannot remember her name to save my life (or bail me out), anybody remember her or is this just a Mandela effect thing going on....
  3. Just can't help himself, we already knew about the last guy (Datwyler) wanting no part of it...
  4. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/local/austin-radio-network-shut-down/269-6303f289-7f96-404c-b316-467966ecd882 property owner locked them out
  5. He would have to first believe that God or Jesus are not subservient and beneath him. Not happening. He gets better ratings than God and Jesus was loser that died. He likes messiahs that don't get caught.
  6. Ah yes, so the guy who was on terrestrial radio (the whole time lamenting the death of print media), then left radio to do a streaming show run by (checks notes) print media (and all the while lamenting the death of terrestrial radio), then left to do a podcast on a start up company that lasted all of 6 months or so, then started his own podcast that maybe 20 people listen to, has gone back to.... terrestrial radio. How did we not see that coming?
  7. Until a few years ago it would have been a MAD Magazine from 1976 (Jaws), but I sold all those off. Now it's a Marvel Star Wars Special Edition #2 (my brother stole #1) bought for the astronomical sum of $0.88 at the Winn's in Hempstead in 1977.
  8. A couple more I just remembered Ringo-Early 1970 (his old mates) Tom Petty & the Heartbraekers-Swingin' (Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Sammy Davis) Def Leppard-Rocket (Beatles, Elton, Bowie, etc...) Fountains of Wayne-Supercollider (Pink Floyd) which makes me kick myself that I forgot two of the most obvious songs written about another musician... Shine On You Crazy Diamond Wish You Were Here (and could also add Brain Damage and Nobody's Home, all for Syd, and of course Vera-Vera Lynn) and I guess we can just throw in the entire Rumours album as well John Mellencamp-ROCK in the USA There was Frankie Lyman, Bobby Fuller, Mitch Ryder (They were rockin') Jackie Wilson-Shangra-Las-Young Rascals (They were rockin') Spotlight on Martha Reeves Let's don't forget James Brown
  9. Eagles-Hotel California (Steely Dan), as payback for Steely Dan-Everything You Did (Eagles) Grand Funk Railroad-An American Band (Freddie King) ELO - Shagri-la (Beatles, and "Hey Jude") Billy Joe Shaver-Tramp on Your Street (Hank Williams) Chuck Berry-Roll Over Beethoven A couple more about John Lennon: Paul McCartney-Here Today, Elton John-Empty Garden John Lennon-How Do You Sleep (Paul McCartney) Bruce Springsteen-Thunder Road (Roy Orbison) Steely Dan-FM (Elvis) REM-Man on the Moon (Mott the Hoople, Elvis) Commodores-Nightshift (Marvin Gaye) The Who-The Seeker (Dylan, Beatles) A couple of "list songs": Tex Ritter-Hillbilly Heaven; George Jones-Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes Neil Young-My My, Hey Hey (Johnny Rotten) as in the one song above, Barclay James Harvest-Titles (the lyrics are all Beatles song titles/lyrics), actually a pretty cool song, I really dig it (this video cannot be more 70's, with that All the Young Dudes opening...)
  10. IRL things did not end well for Scatters
  11. American Trilogy ftmfw (and search out the “Desert Storm” bootleg, Evvis and dotard so similar it’s scary, just the rants…)

    Hit up an estate sale today, walked away with a nice haul
  14. Heh.
  15. Slight thread derail, not in TN but right here in Taylor goddamn Texas. We actually had two Christmas parades last year, made all the local news, al the way up to the Washington Post and WSJ (read em if you have a sub). Quick backstory: 2021 - local pride group wants to have a float in the xmas parade. Parade is dually hosted by the city and the Taylor Area Ministerial Alliance (TAMA). Pride group said on their application they were just going to have some marchers with flags, singing xmas carols. Well, parade comes, group actually has a float with a drag queen lip synching Mariah Carey. I will give them points off for that deception, kind of lit the kindling. Come 2022, TAMA changes the requirements on the entry form, says all entries must "represent wholesome family or Christian values". Shots fired. Pride gest upset, says they are being discriminated against, city says we can't legally discriminate against any group so we are pulling out of the parade, instead we'll have our own "Happy Holidays Festival" parade. School groups etc get caught in the middle, so they all pull out, no band, no cheerleaders, no dance groups, etc. So the solution? Two parades - first, the holy rollers parade, then literally, a 1 minute gap, then the city parade with the fire trucks and civic leaders in convertibles, yada yada, and the pride group with 3 drag queens. One of which was named Sidonya Face (love it!). Cops lined the streets waiting for sit to go down, apparently it turned out pretty civil (we left town, didn't want to be anywhere near that shitshow). Should be really interesting in a few months when pride month gets here and they want to shut down the main city block to have a festival again.
  16. I'd say since around the time Davy Crockett told them they could go to hell.
  17. Go on, we'll wait...
  18. Loved Mad because every artist had their own style, you knew who it was immediately - Jack Davis, Al Jaffe, Dave Berg, Sergio Aragones, Don Martin.
  19. Fuck em all, they're all whores. They'll walk right up to the line, ooh, I'm gonna spill the beans, then somebody pays them off or reminds them of some kompromat and it disappears. Grifters one and all, spineless ones at that. Same as Lincoln Project, Noel Casler (Apprentice/Trump pageant staffer), etc, - cock teases all, we have all the dirt, we just can't give it to you.... Fuck off.
  20. Some more giants:
