The money is going where ELECTED people have decided to send it. Right or wrong that what happens. I normally like Dan's posts but he threw "poor people" in here and I never said that. If I had said or implied a term, I would have used lazy. Lazy people can vote too and if a blabber-mouth politician promises to give them everything they need they'll vote for that "person." "I want, I want, I want, and I and YOU to give it to me." Unfortunately the "you" in that phrase has been ME for my entire working life. I'm sick and tired of working 4 months a year to pay taxes so lazy scumbags can collect food stamps and welfare for life, and now are looking forward to free healthcare. Adding to the income taxes, I pay abut 1,200 a year for the school part of the taxes just for our cottage. Meanwhile the children of the fence hoppers are getting an education on my dime. I don't want to even talk about my Chicago tax bill. What makes me really sick is we make too much money for our kids to get college assistance. Sorry, but that's bullshit. Penalizing someone who works hard, has some drive, and makes good decisions is pretty ****ed up. But not as bad as rewarding laziness. > *It's all going to the rich who >> partially caused the problem by thinking that prices would go up forever >> and it wasn't their responsibility to make sure the mortgages they were >> buying were sound. > > >"The rich" pay C - A - S - H, Dan... I'm not sure if that's always the case Greg. I'm certainly not rich, but paid cash for our last home purchase. Living within your means has an advantage. Living without paying interest is even better. Lou |

I went to a bar-room a few years ago to see a band doing "Irish Country" I had no clue what that was and neither did anyone else. They had plywood pads they sang from and stomped their cowboy boots on. We sat, and ate at the bar about 25 ft. from the "stage." Probably one of the top 5 performances I've ever seen. After the show they were asking for directions to get to the next gig they had in Iowa. The whole evening was a very good time. The Plain White T's have made it to the big time now, but I saw them do a show for a crowd of just over a hundred. It was the biggest show they'd done at the time. The show was awesome. I hear now the shows are more mainstream and they no longer have the raw rock-n-roll sound they had before. Oh well, as least I saw the real deal. Many groups and artists lose their appeal to me when they become so big. The Bodeans come to mind. Lou |

I've always appreciated the more obscure guitarists. One of the best performances I ever witnessed was a Koko Taylor show when her two guitarists started head-cutting each other. I think it was Chris Johnson and Eddie King, but I can't say for sure. Man, it was smokin! and you could feel the tension building as they dueled, specially on the dance floor where there was an uncharacteristic mix of out of town blacks and local whites in this intimate jam packed yuppie blues club. It was a palpable thing, like a building electrical charge, that grew and grew and you could feel it coming. Sure enough, just when the cutting expedition reached its peak, a fight erupted on the dance floor right in front of the stage that killed the playing and broke the tension. Whew! What a performance. Those two guitarists were jaw dropping. nb |

random neurons and synapses to opine: >I've always appreciated the more obscure guitarists. <snip> Although not "obscure," Richard Thompson isn't particularly well known, but he is the most awesome guitarist I have ever seen/heard. Besides really loving his music - his *lyrics* are also wonderfully artful and literate - it has been a huge treat to catch the rare performance here in SoCal (he lives in Santa Monica, IIRC). He occasionally performs at Humphreys by the Bay in Sandy Eggo and the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. What is the most amazing about watching this guy in concert is his *fingering*!! He literally has 5 fingers on his right hand that are doing very independent things from each other. Very, very weird to watch, but the result is some awesome guitar. We played a couple of his songs on the DVD for the kids one Christmas and asked them how many guitars there were. Only one was close when she said, "two." One critic said Eric Clapton has his "guitar title" only b/c he has a better publicist. Terry "Squeaks" Pulliam Burd -- "If the soup had been as hot as the claret, if the claret had been as old as the bird, and if the bird's breasts had been as full as the waitress's, it would have been a very good dinner." -- Duncan Hines To reply, replace "meatloaf" with "cox" |

He's often at the annual "Hardly Strictly Bluegrass" free festival in San Francisoc. I agree he's an impressive guitarist and great songwriter. To add one on to the list of great, under-appreciated guitarists: Bill Kirchen. Steve |

He plays a wide variety of instruments but his flat picking acoustic guitar is his trademark. I may be a bit biased since we grew up together and he often played in church with his sister who is a fiddle player and his Dad who plays multiple instruments. He cut his chops playing at the folk festivals we clogged at and became an amazing artist. He is one of those people who was born to make music, not just play, but make music. He lives in Nashville now and is apparently in great demand on the albums of many big names. When he is home in the mountains he still plays at church with his family. When he is just sitting down and flowing with his guitar it is like he there is no line between him and the instrument. He is worth a listen if you have never heard of him. His last album was all guitar duets with his picking heroes and just plays like no one else I have heard.

Yes, other than this past Sunday, I only saw him perform once before -- with Commander Cody, opening for the Dead at Hollywood Bowl in 1974. This guy has had a long carreer. He was way ahead of the curve on this rockabilly thing. And it quickly becomes apparent why "Hot Rod Lincoln" got all the radio play... all the other songs are too full of drug references and suchlike to be on the air most places. ("Semi Truck" is a favorite.) Steve |
