1984Echoes

That's actually quite a bit shocking, if true...

I would've said exactly the same thing, if not worse. In which universe should war criminals like Milosevic, Mussolini, Hitler, and Putin not be executed/ exterminated? With prejudice.

You have some seriously screwed up definitions of what Democracy is. And how it should be safeguarded.

Ditto on the 1971-80...

Hmmmm... I must be very into instantly gratifying glam!

I wanted them to sign UFA Filip Lindberg in the offseason, out of U-Mass. He's not much different from Ned... slightly larger at 6' 1", only 23, and very athletic like Ned. But the Penguins got him...

2022-23 Season: Greiss out, who do we get to back up Ned...?

That was a shitty 1st goal but... It's 2-0 anyways so, a bit of work to do to get back into the game. And they just blew a 5 on 3 with nothing to show for it so... I don't know what to say.

Yes. Unfortunately.

I think this would most likely be a majority opinion.

They need to be forceful responses. IMO. Not sanctions.

Just to flesh that out a bit... I like Changes and Life on Mars... but they're just ok songs to me... they don't knock it out of the park imo. And I know how popular Changes is, I actually do like the song... I just prefer other stuff by David Bowie. For example, aside from those two "decent" songs, the rest of the album is very meh to me... Except for one song that I think "knocks it out of the park": My favorite song on Hunky Dory is "Queen Bitch". A magnificent Bowie song...! This song really grabs me by the... ummm... yeah, ok... by the balls.

A comment on Sticky Fingers: I'm not really interested in listening to "Brown Sugar" anymore. And Wild Horses is too maudlin for me, at least as sung by the Stones. Oddly enough, I prefer even slower versions of that song by I-love-them-slow-core bands Mazzy Star, and The Sundays... The only thing that really only still holds my attention from Sticky Fingers is Can't You Hear me Knockin'. But I do love listening to The Sundays or Mazzy Star belting out their slow-core versions of Wild Horses (The Sundays I think is the better of the two...).

Oh, I'm sorry... But... The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust just completely blows Hunky Dory out of the sky. My apologies... 😁

I don't think there should be any wafting. If Russia uses those weapons, they need to "Crimes Against Humanity" declare war against Russia. I think they should do that right now, based on their current extensive list of war crimes. But I'm Teddy Roosevelt, or Ronald Reagan, and I like using the Big Stick. Not everyone is willing to hold my position. That's just my 2 cents.

In my opinion, cases don't matter anymore. Only hospitalizations/ death. If cases go up 1,000% and hospitalizations go up 5% as a result... moot point. Nothing should change from our current approach. In other words... I'm ready to move on with life.

In answer to this... One note of caution: If an album has only 1 or 2 songs on it that I like then... I may like the artist/ songs but don't care for the album. I've never listened to the whole album by Bill Withers, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, some others... but I do know that I like a song or two. In either case, I wouldn't rank the album as I'm thinking in terms of loving the album, not just 1 or 2 songs. Aside from that: Genesis was too much for me at that time period. I liked them more after Peter Gabriel left and they became a lot more pop, or easy to listen to. Now I really love me some Peter Gabriel... but not with Genesis. The Rolling Stones/ David Bowie/ Pink Floyd/ have better albums than these, but there's at least one or two songs I like per album. Same with Bill Withers & Marvin Gaye, there's 1 or 2 songs that I absolutely love, but I can't speak to the whole album as I haven't listened. The Allman Brothers I know the whole album, but mostly just care about 1 song. None of these albums would gain a ranking from me... just not enough there when I'm thinking in terms of albums. As an entire album, these are the ones that are historically great, I love them to death, equally. I can't put any one above or below the other: Led Zep IV, Who's Next, L.A. Woman. These others, I absolutely love the album, even if they are not as iconic as the above albums (so they get the smaller font). I wouldn't be able to separate them or rank them, just as above, as I love each of them for their own uniqueness in sound and mood and excellence, but they are 1 step below the above list: Fragile, RAM, Imagine, Masters of Reality, Aqualung.

Chiming in here... I want to give them what they've asked for in terms of military hardware. That means all the available Polish and Romanian MIG's that they keep asking for. 50-75 jets I think, between the two countries? And enough anti-ship missiles to watch the Russian Black Sea Naval Forces, all of it, to sink to the bottom...

I don't know how many anti-ship missiles they have but we're trying to get them more...

As soon as I heard Ukraine was pushing back Russian forces I started to worry about Putin lashing out with a chemical or nuclear attack in revenge/ frustration/ rage. I won't put it past him at all.

How about a top 10,000 list?

Yeah... Soto didn't pitch all that well either... But it's early, and Spring Training, so...

It is.
