This one really intrigues me, and the Opera House is gorgeous. Have never seen Nash live (or CS&N for that matter). Sounds like you're in for a classy legendary show. :thumb:

It was a truly great show. Graham's voice was flawless, even at 75. My only disappointment was that he didn't play "Simple Man", which has been a staple of his live set for 45 years and holds a special place in my heart... But ultimately the show was still great without it.

Probably nobody. Threads tend to die when I get involved. :lol2:

3-4 hours.

Better than sharing an article that will be criticized for its bias, here is the text from his tweets.

"After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military.

Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail."

No commentary from me since I'm at work. Just sharing.

Zorn has to be on the list.

Over who? I'd be interested to see your list.

I saw the U2 show as well.

 

I've got the following on deck thus far to round out the year:

Surprised the wife with tickets to see The Weeknd in South Carolina the weekend of 10/28 but she says we can't go so I have to sell those tickets. Apparently she has something huge planned for me that can't be cancelled. So I'll keep you all posted on that.

I think I said this elsewhere on here, but the huge something is a long weekend (Thursday - Monday) in Seattle complete with tickets to watch the Seahawks play the Texans. I'm no longer upset about the Weeknd tickets.

No Zorn?

Nah. He gets props for being the first but he's at best the 4th ranked QB in their lineage... And considering they've been far from a QB centric team historically, that's not good enough for top 10. Granted, he was the first QB for an expansion team and may have done more with a better supporting cast.

Because everyone else is doing it, and I conform... Active players included and make up a good chunk of my list, which shouldn't be surprising. This will be limited to guys who did their best work as a Seahawk, so no Jerry Rice. :lol2:

10. Matt Hasselbeck

9. Richard Sherman

8. Shaun Alexander

7. Russell Wilson

6. Earl Thomas

5. Marshawn Lynch

4. Kenny Easley

3. Cortez Kennedy

2. Steve Largent

1. Walter Jones

Guys like Curt Warner, Dave Krieg, and Steve Hutchinson (:poop:) are just outside my top 10.

Big Walt is my clear #1, and I feel about him the way that Bengal fans feel about Munoz. I loved watching him pancake guys... Penalized for holding only 9 times in his career, and hardly ever allowed a sack. The ideal LT.

I'm hoping right along with you, sir. Just seems we hear more and more of this kinda nauseating behavior.

I credit that to the amount of news outlets out there today. You hear about the negative because that's what sells. There's always been evil in the world, it's just easier to hear about now than ever before.

That said, social media absolutely does play a part. Kids are exposed to so much now that it's genuinely hard for them to process what they should care about. It's not an excuse, but I definitely see where the seeds have been planted.

I'd much rather have Sam's Hotdogs. Lol. As you can see I always go the healthy route.

Windmill makes an excellent breaded chicken sandwich. :lol2:

Say what you will, but I have to believe that most kids would not have had this reaction.

Being I just need a bed for a few hours and the Daniel Boone inn is half the price of the others, I will again go cheap and stay there.

At least you can walk across the parking lot and get a decent meal at The Windmill.

I've read 37 that I can remember.

There's a Brookshire Inn where the Super 8 used to be. Other options are the Landmark, Hampton Inn, or Hilton Garden.

I think he should be paroled given the parameters, but I 100% think he killed his wife. But that ship has sailed.

I'm not at all surprised he was granted parole. But it's so hard to separate the murders from my mind.

He was very close to Chris Cornell and spoke at his funeral. Today was Chris' birthday. At first glance, it doesn't seem like coincidence.

Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington has committed suicide ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us the singer hanged himself at a private residence in Palos Verdes Estates in L.A. County. His body was discovered Thursday just before 9 AM.

Chester was married with 6 children from 2 wives.

TMZ

He may be granted parole, but I don't think anything he's said has done him any favors.

I haven't seen Vikings, but I loved The Sopranos. That said, there were episodes when it felt like absolutely nothing happened. I'd watch wondering why I was still watching and when the credits rolled I couldn't wait for the next episode.

I could do without any dream sequence/fantasy episodes though.

I've never been, but I've always wanted to go.

I'm going to Seattle for a Seahawks game this fall, and plan to go to the Museum of Pop Culture. I'm pretty excited for that.

"Lost in Emotion" by Lisa Lisa and the Cult Jam.

Whatever the heck that is.

Brandon Rogers - 29 year old really good singer who got 4 yeses from the judges on America's Got Talent tragically died in an automobile accident in mid-June.

 

After they showed his audition on tonight's program (which was the last of the evening), they showed him calling him Mom on the phone to let her know how well he did, then they posted a brief silent memorial announcing his death just before the show ended.

 

It really caught me off guard as I had previously heard nothing about this, and also devastated that he did so well, and then had his life cut short so young.

 

I see from the video that they had prepared the home viewing audience about this before showing his audition, but I actually didn't see it and was caught off guard and shocked with what I saw just as the show was ending.

That was really heartbreaking. Watched it last night right before bed and it threw me off.

I've seen hundreds of concerts, of all genres, and I'm not sure I've ever seen someone better live than Garth Brooks. Like his music, or hate his music (Jim Schue), that dude is amazing live.

Garth is nothing if not an entertainer.

To expand on Springsteen, he's not the best singer. He's not the best guitarist. But he is an absolute entertainer.

Watch the video of 10th Avenue Freeze-out from the Live in NYC DVD. I can't find it on YouTube, but if you haven't seen it you have to watch it. It's what ultimately won me over.
