Re: Jimi Hendrix gets #1 guitarist of all time in Rolling St

It is abundantly clear that the *ahem* writer of this artical needs to be led around back of the Rolling Stone offices and shot in the back of the head. The notion of lumping two guitarists from the same band together in consecutive places is idiotic. I've got no real problem with the first four, bu...

Laugh long! Laugh loud! Laugh hard!

First, it's one character trait that separates us from the animals.
Second, it promotes good health by relieving stress.

I am a loud laugher, and proud of it!

I pretty much like them all save for Pepi LePiu(sp?) and the tunes that he runs with. If I had to choose one favorite, I'd have to say:

And they haven't. If they genuinely caused more trouble than they were worth, we wouldn't still be using them. Perhaps "more trouble than they're worth" was over the top on my part, but you cannot seriously believe that automobiles are totally benign in terms of their impact on pollution?...

1/ The music industry (proper) has existed since the 1930's. Given that a million songs have been recorded and all the ideas for something catchy have already been used, a good original song these is literally, one in a million. 2/ Record producers only worry about the bottom line. "Can we sign...

As for the look of Enterprise NX-01, I think it has more to do with the fact that Cochrane SAW the E-E through a telescope.
