Awesome series. Last series my wife and I binge watched before she got sick.

Happy Birthday, goose. Sorry I missed this thread.

Sorry I missed your birthday. I hope you had a great day! It was a Saturday, too, right!

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. Happy Fête fu Canada 2016! Funny how Canada Day and Independence Day are bookended on the weekends so that most everyone is going to get 3 day weekends.

You left the blues off the list? That's a serious faux pas, considering where rock and roll came from.

If you listen to Bluegrass, then you know who he is. I'd argue that he was "the voice of Bluegrass", at least in our lifetimes. RIP.

Pretty cool to have a birthday on one of the longest days of the year! I hope you had a great birthday and I hope we can celebrate many more. It's a honor to be able to read the posts of a true intellectual, every day. Be cool.

So yeah, my lawn mower is kind of old and instead of fixing it, I'm thinking about a new mower. I see these 40 volt battery powered mowers on Amazon and I'm seriously considering getting one. I have a nail gun, impact wrench, drill, and ratchet that run on battery power and they work great, but..... ....do batteries have enough torque to cut the tall weeds down? How long can the mower run between charges? Any pros or conspiracy that you can think of or a particular brand that you endorse? I'm happy to read and thankful for all responses.

Thanks. I love you guys.

I hate commercials and I hate ads. I don't watch a program unless it's recorded, paused for a long period of time, or on Netflix, or Public Television. Commercials are why I really don't watch sports like I did when I was a kid. Take the NFL, for example. They said the games were too long, due to commercials, and then started running the game clock, even when the ball carrier went out of bounds. So, basically, they screwed the fans.

I finished the season. I love the acting, love the nudity(lol), and love the music. The acting really is great, but the plot is way too slow. They need to step on the gas. Everything is sort of predictable, too. I've read articles about this show, and no one is watching it (no episode got over 1 million viewers), so HBO is gonna make some changes, but this show probably won't be a long term success.

The last episode of season 10 was pretty good, bit, overall, I don't think this was their best season, outside of Mike Smith's performance. I'm not a big fan of cameos, but Tom Arnold was pretty funny. Snoop was a let down (no freestyle rap at all) which is why I hate cameos. Overall, I think the whole shtick of tpb has run its course, and I've begun to grow tired of it.

Even though it's a Monday, ANY BIRTHDAY IS A GOOD BIRTHDAY !!! I hope you get a great gift!

When you buy a new mattress, talk the people down, down, down. They aren't paying half for what they're selling it for, and that's with transportation. The last company I worked for had a contract with Park Place and they put the prices on the truck bills. I would match up the mattresses that I brought in with the prices on the floor and it was sickening. I felt like showing the customers the damned truck bills and saying, "Hey, they only paid $500 for that king sized mattress you're looking at!".

Latex rules! VERY comfortable. But, a VERY HEAVY mattress: do not attempt to move by yourself, unless you're Arnold Schwarzenegger or The Rock. Unfortunately, due to my fat ass being, you know, fat, ours developed a "crater" on my side, and my wife would "fall into it" when I was away on the road, so we gave it away. But, it was comfortable.

"Ramblin' Fever" was his ode to truck drivers: "...And I'll never get too old to get around I want to die along the highway and rot away like some old high-line pole Rest this ramblin' fever in my soul..."

Hopefully this tread reminds you not to be such a stranger to these parts. I'm back! In force, so beware! YES! Hell YES!This post just made my day! Oh, I'm so glad you're back. We missed your intelligence and quick wit. I hope everything is going well for you! P.S. Not that you ever have, but don't start misspelling any words around here: goose, ledrush, and labt, will find it: #yearofthepedant

If what you say, and what the show portrays are accurate, I know understand why musicians have always had the attitude that they have. I don't blame them one bit.

Yes, and the cameras stay on her for A LONG TIME. As a dude, I just gotta say what a beautiful body she has, although I don't really like the character she plays. Watching "House, M.D." for years, I never thought I'd see her nude. Lol Obviously, I'm continuing to watch the show, but it's VERY SLOW in developing, and I'm only sticking with it as an attempt to understand how the 70s really were.

Happy equinox to you, too!

I hope you had a very happy birthday! Sorry, I'm late, I usually stay in SOCN/Sports

Before I get into my answers, you need to understand my background: I grew up in an ultra-conservative, backwoods, Pentacostal Holiness, small town in the middle of the poorest region of South Carolina, next to Savannah River DOE site, during the middle of the cold war. It was a protected and structured white trash environment. Rush, like all rock n roll, was considered "the devil's music", and, as such, we were forbidden to listen. The only rock n roll we were exposed to was when we got cable TV in the late 80s/early 90s and we'd watch MTV when dad was at work, but only then. When I graduated high school and started working a night job I discovered the classic rock n roll stations. I heard all of the classic hits, and loved most of them, but I just ass-u-me d the Rush, and all the great bands, were dead, and we didn't have the internet, yet, so I simply didn't know. My best friend, at work, was into industrial and heavy metal, so that is the music that I ended up buying. It wasn't until just a few years ago that I was out walking and I discovered the app "Slacker Radio" on my smartphone. It played "subdivisions" and it rocked my world. Then I started listening to more Rush songs and looking up the lyrics online and I was hooked. "Clockwork Angels" means more to me than "2112" because it is my life story. But, I love 2112, because I'm an Ayn Rand fan, and I've read both of her epic novels, "The Fountainhead" and "Atlas Shrugged", plus many smaller novels and pamphlets. So, to review: newer fan: 2112 not a major role in my fanhood: I love the lyrics and symbols in 2112, way more than the music.

I watched the 2nd episode. It was OK. I think I'll continue with the series, for now.

Gen X. Lucky to witness so much of the change from analog to digital.
