  1. The thing is that it's entirely subjective. There's no measurable metrics or results to go by. It's not like the artists compete with each other and there's a winner and loser. The industry has changed so much over the last 30 years with radio being so narrow now. Is a quality artist loved by the critics who plays 1500 seat music halls more deserving than the flamboyant cheesy artists that draw in 15K regularly? Are both worthy?
  2. Wow, I forgot about all of that. I knew who she was but forgot about his direct involvement. Now it makes sense. They even "reminded" us when they referenced Lalo killing the travel agent kid. Damn this show is so good. I need to find a wiki to refresh everything. It's my only frustration is not remembering things from 3 years ago.
  3. I had the chance to be in a suite today for both games but had to decline. It's weird because I donate to my company's PAC and that's where it came from...... but I can't take off work in order to do it. I also have the game in my regular package for both. Isn't one of them a road game? That's probably why they are able to give us both games. one ticket for both. My son is going.
  4. I'm having trouble following all of that. He's mad at Megan because the Russians ran McCain's campaign and now Steve is saying that John wasn't on the up and up like we all thought and the McCain's were in bed with them too? Is that it? To me this reeks of just inside baseball. The general public won't care. McCain's dead, Russians and elections is old news now, right or wrong. I read his initial tweets where he talked about Romney and a chair and I couldn't tell if he who he was complimenting, if anyone.
  5. There was also something about a chair. Rod had back issues and there was a chair that was better for him. Mario took the chair and Rod got mad. They had an altercation in the hallway. That said.... their broadcasts were miles ahead of what we have today. Mario was a pro. he could step into any job in any sport and do a fine job. The best broadcasters for TV are the ones you don't even notice.
  6. I think his time with Team Canada shows there's very few people he doesn't know. I'm excited for the pick and have trust that he'll do the right thing. It will be a guy most "hockeytown" fans have never heard of but real hockey fans will know.
  7. Saw Doctor Strange. Liked it a lot. Very minor spoiler….. it was as much a scarlet witch movie. Not a bad thing. But I’d say the ratio was 60/40.
  8. The intent is to make things appear messy and confusing and then the legislature will try to step in and cast their slate instead. Then we are at the mercy of judges for democracy.
  9. Republicans have a lot more wiggle room due to gerrymandering and the nature of the senate. They will always have 45-47 % of the legislative and governors. They could be actual Nazis, with swastikas and all, and still have that.
  10. The Bible is not a scientific source. It should not be the basis for any US law, let alone one concerning both biology and bodily autonomy.
  11. defining music genres is tough. Take R&B. Rhythm and Blues. When I think Rhythm and Blues I picture heavy on guitars, some piano, maybe horns... with a.. ahem, blues tint to it. The most mainstream I can think of would be Stevie Ray Vaughan.... or going back some of the Stax stuff, or even the Paul Shaeffer Band on Letterman. But the acronym R&B is definitely not that. Not saying it's no good but to me R&B is your softer black voices. Different audiences. In the country music PBS doc you saw the difficulty in the 60s on people like Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Kristofferson... country? Folk?
  12. As usual Lynn offering up something and wording it in a confusing way. Not doubting there's an opt out. But who defines not living up to expectations? Why not just say "He has an opt out if he's unhappy" because that's why he'd opt out, however you define the reason.
  13. To be fair he "won" because there was no way he could lose. 3 people for 3 seats.
  14. They have a lot across the street.
  15. I never heard of an opt out based on a reason because how do you define that? It's reported he has an opt out. He can opt out because he doesn't believe in ownership or he can opt out because he misses Houston and wants to live there full time and will work at Lowe's or dive a school bus if he has to.
  16. nothing wrong with what he said.
  17. For many women it will be their first Mother's Day mass since 2019. Some will be going to their first one without their mom. They won't be thinking about politics. It's not about the church hierarchy. A lot of parishoners actually disagree with the Church's stance on contraception and abortion. These protests will do nothing for the cause but simply serve as an outlet for the protesters. If the goal is change then this isn't the way. if the goal is to bitch and complain... have at it. You'll end up right where you are now with no movement forward. That's how we ended up with Trump because the extreme left is not happy unless they get 100% of what hey want. If they can't then they stay home and will whine later on.
  18. some group is urging people to protest catholic churches on Mother's Day. Completely stupid idea and you'll lose a lot of goodwill. Typical of the extreme left. Probably the same ones who came up with the Defund Police slogan.
  19. There was one I saw a few months ago that covered a Texas college's baseball program during a practice. They timed it perfectly with pitches and hitting.
  20. I don't think we'll ever see another constitutional amendment passed.
  21. a few weeks ago I got on a Hornsby kick because of End of Innocence.
