I have three pairs in my closet. I also put more supportive insoles in them.

Ohmygod pre-ET! And what’s he doing with those fuzzy-wuzzy hands of his? And I sure hope that’s a teddy bear... They came in three different shapes if I remember right. I think this is supposed to be a monkey.

There was a five and dime store in the town where my mom grew up where I used to get those plastic dinosaurs every time we visited. I loved those things. And rabbits feet for a good luck charm. We had a set of the Jarts too.

I liked Confessions, but nothing after Ray Of Light was good. But she had an incredible run. Her songs are still pretty timeless now, used a lot in the media and still beloved by music fans. I feel the only thing aging badly is Madonna herself. I agree with you, but I haven’t seen or heard anything about her in years.

I had all of the albums up to Ray of Light. After that the songs got more and more just dance music and not really well conceived songs.

Love Lorraine Bracco in Goodfellas. She's perfect. Next best was Tony Soprano's psychologist in The Sopranos.

I can appreciate his art for what it is, but it doesn't mean I want it on my wall.

He WAS a God except when he cut his hair he lost his mojo.

I think part of the problem is that good guitarists are a dime a dozen. It’s much less common to rise to the top of your field playing bass or drums. Alex has always played exactly what song the song needs but he’s not flashy in a obvious sort of way. He is a very emotive player which fits in perfectly with Neil’s clockwork timing and Geddys creative bass lines.

It was beyond amazing Moon. I totally agree with you. As you know I'm a HUGE Y&T guy. Dave Meniketti. But yes Neal is a Legend too. I think it's great that you mentioned Neal's solo work. "Late Nite" is absolutely amazing!! Love that record!!! It’s a favorite of mine as well.

Sounds like a fun time. I've always loved Neal Schon's guitar work with Journey and his solo stuff isn't bad either.

I was not a big fan of this album when it came out. It seemed like a watered down version of Signals, which was kind of sad. It's grown on me over the years though and I like it now.

The Breakfast Club. I realized I'd never seen the entire thing so I sat down and watched it the other night. Great movie.

If you read up on them it was all for show. I don't know if they were actually even married IRL. But I have to admit I had a couple of their albums back in the 70's.

Kansas all the way, baby. Accept no substitutes.

That's an awesome experience, something you'll always remember. So cool. :)

I've only seen Elton John once and that was on the Rock of the Westies tour, so a lonnng time ago. Wouldn't mind seeing him again though before he retires.

Wild at Heart. Nicolas Cage and Laura Dern at their quirky best.

Lost Highway. Weirdgoodness.

Normally I'd make that argument, too. But I got hooked on collecting. Happy to report they're not just wall hangings, but I pick them up to play at random, and I've made recordings with each instrument with the exception of one guitar I won at an auction that is super buzzy. And I do find over time that I am recognizing their different tonal qualities. It could be that I am just rationalizing. I was going to make a deal with myself that for every new instrument I purchase, I have to sell two. But that's so harsh... I have a friend that does that, if she buys a bass, she has to sell one. She has reason though, she lives in a small apartment in DC so no room.

I'm trying to stock up on Rush shows, lol. We are getting rid of cable soon and I'm not sure what we will get to replace it. We just put an old TV in our bedroom with a digital HDTV antenna and it gets more over the air channels than we realized. Makes the cutting the cable decision somewhat easier. I have a digital antenna as well but I'm lucky to be able to get one or two channels, and they're usually the shopping network or something in Spanish.

I know a lot of people like to collect just to collect. Sometimes they do that and never play them. I’ve always been happy with one or maybe two instruments that are good quality and do what I need them to do.

Wish I had it.
