Or Back to School!

Wow Dave, really??? They were my favorite band for quite a while around the end of high school and through college (well, my first three colleges anyway!?). I actually ended up working with a IT consultant named Jorge who was both Danny's neighbor in Malibu and good friend of his. Ironically, although they both shared a love for B-movies, Jorge didn't like his music much! ? The best part was when Jorge told Danny I was a big fan (and a member of Steve Bartek's forum; who was their guitarist). Danny gave him two upfront tickets to one of their famous Halloween shows at the Irvine Meadows Amphitheater (I lived in Irvine) to give to me! I got to take the hottest girl in the office and we sat right next to Danny's wife and kid. ? I have some very good memories of that night!

Bumumer! ?

Vancouver Washington or Vancouver Canada? 'Cause there's a couple of us from the Vancouver Washington one (at least me and Kenny)!

Soooo ironic that he died in 2020, right?

Got the meme for that one Bob! ?

Real beer v fake water? ?

(There's a quote from Frank Zappa below, that makes this post musical, ya? ?) Politics … If God wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates. — Jay Leno The problem with political jokes is they get elected. — Henry Cate, VII We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office — Aesop Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build a bridge even where there is no river. — Nikita Khrushchev When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. — Clarence Darrow Politicians are people who, when they see light at the end of the tunnel, go out and buy some more tunnels. — John Quinton, American actor/writer Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you. — Author unknown Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. — Ronald Reagan Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other. — Oscar Ameringer, “the Mark Twain of American socialism” I offer my opponents a bargain: if they will stop telling lies about us, I will stop telling the truth about them. — Adlai Stevenson, 1952 A politician is a fellow who will lay down your life for his country. — Tex Guinan Instead of giving a politician the keys to the city, it might be better to change the locks. — Doug Larson, English middle-distance runner who won gold medals at the 1924 Paris Olympic Games We'd all like to vote for the best man, but he’s never a candidate. — Kin Hubbard, American cartoonist/humorist An election is coming. Universal peace is declared and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry. — George Eliot Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied. — Otto von Bismarck Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies. — Groucho Marx Politics is the entertainment division of the military-industrial complex. —Frank Zappa Suppose you were an idiot and suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself. — Mark Twain Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent. — Salvor Hardin, in Isaac Asimov, Foundation saga If voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it. — attrib. to Mark Twain

Compared to Keith Richards, nobody's old! ?

Soho - Girl On A Motorbike

Soho - Hippychick

Now gather all of those last posts, throw them into AI and see if you can make a song!!! ?

Yeah... Whatever.

All they needed was a dead duck to complete the scene!

We already had fake management and fake groupies, ya? ?

I totally forgot that I have Reason 11... I've got a 40" 4k TV as a monitor that can rotate to portrait mode which, as I recall, would have been a big deal with Reason before with their virtual rack. No idea if it still is! Someday I'll get around to installing it on my new computer and check it out. ?

But, by then, it will probably only be AI bots talking to each other anyway! ?

You would have probably been promoted if you had been in the Marines... ?

Suzanne Vega - Luka

Well, getting old beats the currently known alternative! ?

Nerd! ?

Yes. You're not allowed to say ****, ****, *******, ****, ***, ************, *****, **** or Worcestershire here. ?

Probably closer to real beer than Bud Light or Coors Light though! ?

Good job guys! Nice of you to pull Daryk back into the forum too. ? I can imagine the picture of the "band" that goes with this song having Ed wearing a t-shirt that says "More of ME in the mix!" ?
