Seriously... who hasn't air drummed to a Rush song! I'm with Dave 1290. I saw the other drummers on the 'best of' list ahead of Peart and I will disagree till I die. He played two separate kits for years with an amazing syncopation to jazz beats. He did more on his kit than I have ever seen live or on film. (Disclaimer) I am such a fanboy.

Rush is the only band that, once I saw them the first time, I saw them EVERY time they were near. And they were road warriors. So many times. In 1997, I took my young son to The Gorge in George, Wa for one, only his second rock show ever. We are mourning together. But we have that shared memory.

His book about 'finding' himself after his daughter died is a revealing read. He spent a long time cycling around North America in search of peace.

Rest in Peace, Neil. The greatest drummer I have ever seen or heard. And a fantastic lyricist. Amazing talent. Thank god for the Holy Trinity of Rock 'n roll!

I spent some days mucking through the cow patties in Tillamook searching for the magic. I was a member of the 'tea' party back then, too! They were ok in spaghetti sauce.

I like that!

My beloved Seahawks again spacing out at the one yard line. I watched soo closely after the super bowl fiasco to see if the Hawks could do it from the one. They struggled with delay penalties and illegal motions . I waited almost 3 years to see them get to first and goal on the one. It was brutal. They didn't learn, darnit. One hiccup loses a game like that. See you in Philly! Go Hawks!

Brisket tacos at Mia's Tex Mex!!

Everything in moderation. Especially moderation!

OMG after the first minute I found myself laughing at the great intertainment in this! The last second battle for second through fourth was intense.

My friend Bruce and I felt lucky to se B.B. in Portland , Or in 1980. We were so stoked to have tickets. At first we were a little nervous (I know there was no reason to be) because from our seats we could see that we were the only 2 white guys there for the tunes. I am certain we were not but I was looking. That was my initial memory from then. Of course when B.B and Lucille took the stage it was all love. Dancing and feeling the groove. I was youngish and dumb then. But a major feather in my concert cap. Love the King.

Making the rules rules!

I didn't read the topic. I just wanted to win for a short while. (last post and all) And I thought I would get tired of winning!

I received 9 emails from the seller and the trucking company while delivery was in progress. None of which had a delivery discription. And I called both several times in the days leading up to delivery. On hold with each for an average of 32 minutes. (I know. I have too much spare time!) And not ONE callback after leaving a message. But immediately after leaving my house, I received an electronic invoice from the deliverer stating I had 'Silver plus" delivery which included everything I was going to request from them. I would have liked to have known that in advance, I'm kind of an anxietous worrier over big budget items. Especially after 9 correspondences. It's all good, tho. Maybe the holidays were overwhelming to the companies. Thanks everyone. And Merry Christmas!

"Yep" they said, "we do it all the time". In less than 5 minutes they unboxed and set up the tv for the menu screen so I could check it out. In the time it took for me to sign and date and all that they had boxed it back up for me! Nice. It's not ready for install yet. All is good.

Thanks! It's supposed to be 5 minutes out now. I think they do this a lot and it won't be a big deal for an extra 10 minutes. But that's imo.

I am receiving a new tv today. This is a very late request. I'm in Wa state and it's been on the truck from New Jersey. I am usually ok with signing with an exterior look at the packaging but haven't ordered from the east coast. I want to open the carton and quickly plug in the power cord and see a menu screen so I can inspect. Is that asking too much? It's a long way through inclement weather to get here and I don't want problems if it's not functioning correctly. But delivery during Christmas and all... Thanks.

Gardner Minshew said he's never seen more middle fingers in his life! By praising the Black Hole fans and saying they always have so much fun. Then admitting it was special to give them the loss on their last 'home' game. The mustache lives.

Done. All the best.

I've walked on that road a few times!

I always thought Leo Kotke was one pretty good player.

I was e-cycling a broken flat screen at Video Only yesterday and they have the 65" Samsung Q90 , their top o line 4k QLED for $1999. That also includes their aftermarket 4 year parts and labor warranty. Samsung factory warranty is 1 year.

If the format is in 5.1 or 7.1 as some blu rays are then I think multi channel is how the producer wanted it to sound. I have very few so I listen to just my towers and some subwoofers. 2.3 for me.

Too much is never enough!
