Opening Stuff:
Creativity is generally laudable, but not always acceptable.
I believe that most musical performance concerts are greatly overpriced. But, I might reach deep down into my pockets for a ticket to Lady Antebellum.
In case you didn't notice, the last three American League "Players of the Week" were all Red Sox -- Carl Crawford, David Ortez and Jacoby Elsbury. Eee-Hah
The Question:
Yesterday we focused on the big bands of the 30's/40's. To me the next big era for music in America was the late 60's/early 70's. Name five bands or performers who led the way in the 70's.

Back to More Stuff:
I think it is kind of funny that 0-Man announced yesterday that Joe Biden will become the face of the committee on Government Waste!
The World I Don't Know Department:
A small police blotter item reported that a man held a machete to a woman's throat urging her to call the police and have the "No Contact" order against him rescinded. Am I missing something about the intelligence of man?
So...is everybody going to rush down to their local newsstand and get a set of Pentagon Papers? Not me.
I see where the airlines made $3.4 billing from Baggage fees. See how leverage works. If i could charge every man woman and child a one time fee of a $1.00/year for the Tids, after one year I would have over $300 Million in the bank. How easy is that. Oh, some of the income may be in the form of Food Stamps, but hey, I like to eat.
The people of Ohio have voted to make next Wednesday National Lebron James Day. All employees in Ohio will be able to leave work 12 minutes early!
The NHL took precedent over the early GOP debate last night. First things first, ya know. But, I did click in a couple of times and each time it was Romney talking...confidently. He seems to be taking head on his negative issues. Some are saying that Michelle Bachman came across as the Happiest Warrier since HHH. Some thought Newt sounded pretty good, but I thought it was just more of the same old Newt. A few analysts are saying that if Mitt continues the way he did last night, the calls for Christie and Perry may subside quickly.
Almost Near: Chapter 25 continues. --Samantha was so happy as she led Tucker into the house. Through the kitchen. She alternated from giggling, carefree, romantic silliness to a woman driven by sexual starvation. Tucker looked tentative. He did feel for Samantha. he as loveed her for years. But this was somebody else. Somebody he was trying to nurture. he felt aroused, but always cautious. He came up to her and began to kiss, but she briskly brushed away his lips, let go of his hand and ran into the living room. She flopped into the big chair, legs splayed, eye's sparkling with adoring love.
"Let's go upstairs," Tucker said warmly.
"Oooh," you're getting much too anxious. She sprang up and wrapped her legs and arms around him and kissed him hard on the lips." He held her, but she wrestled free. Her face frowned, and then lit up just as fast. "Why don't you go into the be room. I'll be there shortly. Do you think you can wait?" She turned and ran off.
Tucker decided to play the game and went upstairs to his room. taking off his shirt as he went. He lay on his bed and waited. Who would come in the door he wondered.
He heard footsteps in the hall. She stood in the door way and looked at him. "Oh, you're home. You should put on a shirt. You'll get cold. I wouldn't want to lose you." She turned. "What do you want for dinner."
I was encouraged by the Dallas NBA win. The ages of their "Big Three" old guys, Nowitzki, Kidd and Terry, add up to 105 years. The Boston Celtics agiing trio of Allen, Pierce and Garnett add up to 102. That means next year they will be 105 and a title not out of the question.
Fodder for your Netflix Queue Department:
In case you are interested, the Top 10 best Romantic Comedy movies for the year are number one Bridesmaids, and then Something Borrowed, Friends with Benefits, Gnomeo and Juliet, Just Go With It, One Day, New Years Eve, Wonderlust, Bad Teacher and Midnight in Paris.
The Answer:
I particularly liked The Who, Cream, Peter Frampton and the Rolling Stones. Other good bands were U2, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Three Dog Night, Jefferson Starship, Moody Blues, Led Zeppolin and Janis Joplin. There are over 200 bands and performers who can attach themselves to the heyday of the 70's. You all have your favorites.
Go Bruins.
Maybe I'll get serious about the Republicans after Wednesday night's Stanly Cup win by the Bru-skis. Or, maybe after the All-Star break. Of curse, the there is the potential for an NFL season. Yeah, let's wait til the football season starts.
