Who we playing? Is Skinner on first base? Is McD on 2nd or is it Draisaitl again. Where is Nuge? Is Arvid alive in a bunker? Will Hyman continue to have to where that Quinn Hughes mask? Questions.

Hopefully we see Captain Pickard lead the Starship again. Would be OK with it parking there for awhile.

Thank the Lord that Leon decided to stay here as an Oiler and not be enticed by his buddy Pastaman. I guess they see each other soon here. Oh, POds and Kap thank ya too Draisaitl. Charmed life playing with you.

Man she has a style I miss so much.

I miss this video: Style and hair washing and manners optional.



Reminds me of how people walk on Whyte Avenue.

Hope you’re not referring to the Jefferson Starship, which became then just Starship. What an abomination of what was a seminal 60’s band.

I thought I was referring to Captain Pickard and Star Trek but I could've made a goof. heh

haha. "We built this city" is the bane of my ears. unfortunately my wife and every woman I've known somehow likes that song. A lot. I don't know how. Hey, there were some decent tracks. Red octupus album was good. The track Miracles and so on. The albums were increasingly panned but some of the tracks I liked. They still had the odd hidden gems. Like this one on an album that generally wasn't good.



Always sounded good in the car on a longtrip.

I was partial to her style in the 1990s too. Really, really partial to it.




Are we referring to the same thing?

I’m thinking not.

I’m a Marty Balin fan. That Mickey guy, not so much.

Balin and Grace Slick, Kantner and others stayed in the band for awhile. I like Craig ChiQuico on Guitar and if you listen to the whole track you hear him blazing. yeah they went nowhere after. I liked the Earth album as well. Used to listen to after Highschool days where classes sometimes seemed unending.. 70's were always so great for music.

This one goes out to Stuart Skinner and the Oiler's chance at the 2025 Stanley Cup:

Within a two-month span of 1991, we had the release of Metallica’s “Black Album”, Pearl Jam’s “Ten” and Nirvana’s “Nevermind.” Then for the rest of the decade we were saddled with Boys to Men style trash and Axle Rose turning G’N’R into a parody of Queen.

What a completely f***ed NHL schedule again. Hasn't been an Oilers game on Network since Saturday afternoon and not another till Tomorrow sometime. Of course we had the Prime sucks game on Monday but WTF? This is exactly the time of year people want to watch hockey in Canada, no games on. Doesn't help that 3 of our fist 30 games were Prime. They all sucked too. As if its Prime ordering up losses on the menu. jk

Then we get another 1wk break with the team having no games and then in February 4nations with more time with No Oilers games on. Sure team would have liked to get the bad taste out of their mouth from Monday as well. Have to wait to tomorrow.

Oh, and I'm good with the snow for awhile. Another 4inches last night and its just coming down interminably. If you haven't done Christmas shopping yet you're f***ed. They hardly even plow roads in this city. Sand, salt? whats that? We'll all be driving on one lane bike trails soon. (again joking, don't do this...)

Oh well, Canucks and the Nameless team with a "battle" with playoff implications. Of course we're cheering no name brand tonight. if I bother watching it between channel surfing. In other OOT hoping the Stars hammer the leafs but they don't care so probably won't bother.

I missed it and thought GNR were always a parody. I like Metallica and liked Nirvana. But kinda suspected it was the music dying after that. By napster it was pretty much guaranteed. Whatever people think online availabilty basically killed the music industry or most of it. That and Ticketmaster. The only thing you get now is the Mass market Swifty-Beyonce kind of thing. Its like the 50's all over and everybody gets either Elvis or Sinatra and f*** consumer if you don't like that. Oligarchy sucks. Just saying.

 

[TB12]

I suggested in the Around the League thread yesterday that the eastern media hates the Oilers because back in the day Mess and Wayne might have taken their mothers out for nice seafood dinners and never called them back. And i got my peepee slapped.

Sorry, boys, likes are off the menu from me.

Also, pretty much confirms that nerd Friedman reads HFboards

The leadoff track has a classic riff:



Sounds best on vinyl imo

Yeah, always thought it a decent track. Overall I liked the album, lol none of my friends did. Albums sometimes get judged on superficial things like not liking the cover... I think Black Sabbath Sabotage to this day struggles with that. Great album but the studio execs of course wanted something else, the band rejected it and purposely did the worst photo shot they could do. Ward came to it without "proper clothing" (I don't want to know) and had to wear Ozzys underwear. Apparently Ozzy is um, ventilated, on the cover under the kimono. The things you read. Geezers book is pretty good if you haven't seen it. I've talked about it here before. A lot of bios don't say much. Geezer has a few things to say. lol Its hilarious that he said most of the stuff got edited out. I'd want to see the full print version.

Great analogy.

Great analogy.

Its a sociological observation.

Conformity has never been more enshrined than it is now and was in the 50's Back then conform or you're labeled as a red, a traitor or some other witch hunt. Today its conform or be cancelled. Of course we see this everywhere. I suspect the root causes in both cases is insular raising of children. Back then people were so alarmed by rebels and risks of any sort. Today its the same. Modern society occurs in waves. This one kinda sucks. What the 50's didn't have is 24hr surveillance due to tech devices, So that any kid now has to conform 24hrs or hear it from everybody all the time. I'd still choose to be different, taking Robert Frosts lifelong advice. haha. If I was a teen now I guarantee I wouldn't even have a Smartphone. Tech enslaves. It isn't a freedom. Whoops, here comes surveillance.

Me being flippant aside if you go through history historians have of course detected these waves. They are often the product of surmised risks and the unknown or misunderstood. Thus the term witch hunt or other such culprit labeling which has been around anytime crops go bad or a pandemic or uncertainty, calamity etc. I love History. The postwar feelings were borne of course by the WW's. The greatest uncertainty.

Taylor Swift is brand conformity not seen on the scale since Elvis, if ever.

That’s an interesting observation. It makes sense. I look forward to the next decade then.

Free love, great music, and a strong economy.

The one after that, if it spawns music as putrid as disco, I will vomit. I will also be 80+ and probably won’t care.

Freedom At Point Zero is an awesome tune from this album too.



Also Taylor Swift is shit.

I always thought the best song for the DoD was Pompeii by Bastille.

“But if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all.

And if you close your eyes, does it almost feel like you’ve been here before

How am I gonna be an optimist about this?”
