@achewood I once had the idea that, if only for a moment each night, everyone in the world was asleep at the same time. It made the world manageable.

I remember seeing some interview or something with stapp talking about having like 3 shots of jager (it is a dessert drink people, please don't drink this to get drunk) before shows and how his life was spinning out of control.

Oh man what if Edison and Tesla had a rap battle.


The challenge.
Edison thinks himself a rhyme creator
But you can call me Tesla the Alternator
First I zig, then I zag like alternating current
My rhymes are gonna shock you and not one of them is errant
So watch as my rhymes ignite and light the dark
Unless you wanna step on dog shit walking in Menlo Park

The response.
You try to step to Edison the Incandescent?
I've electrocuted elephants, you prepubescent!
Your lighting is as dim as a gaslight and match
Now let me invent the phonograph so my DJ can scratch

Keep in mind that English was not Nikola's mother tongue.

Keep that in mind while you drink this tiny can of Dr. Pepper that I am giving you.

Tesla would be recognized as the winner, but only decades after his death.

Another can for the inimitable Bobby.

Tesla would get help from Mark Twain and win by ten million.

This ( http://www.route78west.com/rt78w/plist09/plist09.htm ) is the greatest thing.

For real, if you like americana music at all you have to download every one of these available.  T. Texas Tyler, Red Simpson, Buck Owens and his Buckaroos, and Man or Astroman living peacefully, and awesomely, together.

Scott knew his life was spinning out of control when he needed to get lightly buzzed before performing. Shooting Jager is a gateway to Smirnoff Ice, and soon his contract rider demanded a variety six pack including the new pomegranate and mango flavors.

Creed decided Columbus, Ohio would be a good place to play on their reunion tour and they booked the 19,000-seat Nationwide Arena as the venue.  We do have our share of people who can't get past that era in music (Staind, Limp Bizkit, 3 Doors Down, etc) but even the radio station that catered to their taste decided it was more reasonable to play Guns N Roses every third song with Metallica in between.

It appears they may have over-estimated demand because they've had to slash ticket prices: Now all seats are $10 to $15 and we're being given tickets by the stack as "promotional items."

Definitely one of those "Winner gets four tickets to see Creed, 2nd Place gets eight tickets to see Creed" situations.

Maybe they should play prisons... as punishment.

Seems to be a lot of that going around.  We were at the Fairfax County Fair earlier this summer, and the stand from the local mall (which tells you what kind of fair we have in Fairfax county--no farm animals on display here, sadly) was giving out tickets to New Kids on the Block at the Patriot Center.  Then last month I was at a Nats game, and they said if you bought a sandwich from the new barbecue stand,  you could get a free ticket to Depeche Mode at Nissan Pavilion.  (I actually thought about that one, but I had already gotten food so I passed on it.)

If it was Duran Duran, though? I would totally eat an extra sandwich for Duran Duran.
