tbrown 26 #76 May 8, 2011 QuoteThe DOORS apart from Roadhouse Blues, most of their stuff is way over rated, include Hendricks and Led Zeplin in that too. Both Zep and Jimmy were self indulgent wankers, WAY over rated I don't like The Doors either. Maybe it's because I'm a dyed in the wool Deadhead, or maybe it's because "St. Jim" was just EVIL. But I would encourage you to give ONE listen to "Hendrix at the Fillmore East". It's an expanded - and superior version of "Band of Gypsies", from the same two nights at Bill Graham's rock palace in NYC. The PLAYING is really quite stupendous. By 1970, Hendrix had left the theatricality behind and was PLAYING some simply incredible shit. He was even in talks with Miles Davis about recording a record together at the time of his death - and it's real tragedy the two of them never did. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

Hey Tom, look how he spelled "Jimi" and "Hendrix" wrong. He MUST have meant someone else.I still hold Jimi in high regard. You're right, he was getting tired of the Psychedelic persona and was wanting to move on. I heard his manager was the one holding him back. Of all the musicians that didn't survive the 60's and early 70's, Hendrix was the one I missed the most. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryoder 1,400 #78 May 9, 2011 Pssst; He also misspelled Zeppelin. Badmouthing Led Zeppelin, Hendrix, and the Doors in one post? I say we have no choice but to burn the heretic.

Kmart 0 #89 May 9, 2011 "The Sixth Sense" I am amazed at how many people think this is a great movie. It's a boring piece of shit. Just because it has a suprise shocker at the end it's like... "OMG Bruce Willis was one of the dead people the whole time and diudn't know it!!!!" So fricking what. Yeah, it was a cool twist but it doesn't make the whole movie good. BY FAR the most overrated movie I know of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He does courses every day of the week and generally dives 4 times a day. He loves it, so it's not like work, its just doing what he loves, and getting paid for it. Now, I work hard for my money () but if I didn't enjoy the work I do (when I actually DO work) I wouldn't care how much they paid me, I would probably be outta here.

The last time I went into a Starbucks I must have stared at the overwhelming menu for like 10 minutes, anxiously trying to figure out what half the stuff on there was... Finally, I apologetically said: "sorry.. Is it possible to just get a coffee with milk and sugar?" She stared blankly at me and sighed at my deep ignorance... "Will that be a grande, super grande, or uber grande??" (Or something equally incomprehensible.) I muttered another apology and left, profusely apologising as I did so...
