This is about everything rock and roll from the 50's to the present, but that's only the beginning. Any poets out there? I have a couple of poems to share before too long. Misunderstood song lyrics are always a lot of fun. Favorite album cover art? Any wild or interesting concert experiences? Prefer Motown to rock? Jazz? Blues? You can share all of these things and much more here. Come one come all to the midnight ball! Let's do this!

In addition to the Hell on Wheels that Elle found, I found another that you may enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5CdniJySHQ Reply #921. Mar 10 18, 1:48 AM |

Beagles are also very cuddly and loving. Beagles have the most expressive faces. Reply #923. Mar 10 18, 9:36 AM |

My internet died yesterday in the middle of playing. Well, of course it did. I need to play and get caught up all over the place, but in the meantime: Note To Self: Write a Story Using Song Titles with Hotel California, or any other Eagles Album. Dibs on this, too! Reply #925. Mar 10 18, 1:25 PM |

Wait! It's Daylight Savings Time once again, a quaint, archaic little custom that needs to go the way of the dodo. In the meantime, since it's Spring, but not at my house, don't forget to set your clocks ahead one hour at 2 a.m., losing sleep you will never recover and will feel for at least two weeks. That's been documented, so why "they" continue to do this is a mystery. Reply #926. Mar 10 18, 1:27 PM |

Wait! Kevin, you know garage and grime. You just hate it. Remember Kurt Cobain and Nirvana, who showed up and pretty much destroyed your beloved metal, and my beloved Skid Row, right in their prime? That would be garage and grime, merged to form "grunge." I do like Kurt, but there is NO WAY that little dude killed himself with a shotgun after shooting up. No way in hell. I also love Pearl Jam, mostly because I love Eddie Vedder's voice. And he's so emotional -- he cries at his concerts, depending on the song and background. Ever seen the video "Jeremy"? It was banned from MTV for awhile, but only because they didn't understand it. Well that's not the only reason -- it's pretty gruesome, but he was trying to make a POINT. Point taken. I may post it. I don't want to get in trouble, but it's worth watching and listening to. "Jeremy spoke in class today." (Did he ever...) Reply #927. Mar 10 18, 1:32 PM |

Wait! Never, ever did I say I don't like Cinderella. I probably don't, but never did I say that! But... Jo, you may as well know this now, because it drives Dorkus crazy. I really don't like Rush. I don't get them, at all. And for just about forever, I thought Rush, Styx and Air Supply were the same band, with wayyyyyy too many bad songs out there. They sound exactly the same to me. I think I had 11 Duel wins yesterday, maybe 12. You're only 17 ahead of me now, Dorkus, and that's after missing a day. And! And! I beat Triviaballer at... drum roll... Barbie! But not by much. Our scores were both terrible and very close. Not completely horrible, we were both in the 500s, but I guessed at every single answer. I am dying to beat him at something worthy, but Barbie Dolls? Ugh! Blech! Those things are just nasty. Okay, we all need to figure out a time to meet up in the Town Square for some Duels. The Sheriff, The Wrangler (me,) The Cook (Mark,) Stephanie and Jo. Steph and I are in the same timezone, Jo is 7 hours ahead of both of us, Mark is two hours ahead, and Kevin is one. We can do this! And you are not overly competitive, Mark. That's ridiculous! This is healthy competition, emphasis on "healthy." Reply #928. Mar 10 18, 1:41 PM |

Barbie Dolls -- 681 to 636, Me/Triviaballer. Basically, we rock at exceptionally creepy dolls. I'd rather play with G.I. Joe. Reply #929. Mar 10 18, 1:44 PM |

Home after a very long day, I've been going to dog shows all my life but I get tired so much more easily these days. Still, I love it. I have three Beagles - Trubel, Temmi, and Delaney, my lil pupper. They really do have very expressive faces, the main expression being 'please give me more food'. Even sickeningly fat beagles can generally convince the average person that they are starving to death. Fortunately I am not the average person, I have a heart of stone and am immune to pleading brown eyes. Unless they are pleading for cuddles, then I have been known to cave a bit ;-) Reply #930.

I'm with you on the whole Barbie thing, Elle. When I was a little girl I wanted toy trucks, not dolls. Once for Christmas my folks bought me a Barbie with horse, and I was delighted with the horse, and gave the Barbie to the dog to play with. She chewed its head and feet off. I did not care.

The band last night finished with 'Whole Lotta Rosie', which even got the Viking singing along, and he NEVER sings in public. Reply #932. Mar 10 18, 2:01 PM |

Oh, yeah, and I don't know about in the States, but over here garage and grime music has nothing to do with grunge. I don't mind a bit of Nirvana (I don't think he killed himself, either. While it's possible to shoot yourself with a shotgun, it's logistically very difficult), but I hate garage. It is not singing, it's a person babbling strings of usually offensive words too quickly for any normal person to understand, backed by insanely loud, monotonous base and a bit of unmelodious techno. It really is just noise for the sake of noise, and the 'lyrics' tend to be gang related, talking about stabbing rivals, taking drugs and beating women who don't know their place. Don't know why I don't like it, maybe it's an age thing... Reply #933. Mar 10 18, 2:27 PM |

Help! Help, help, help... Tulo danced across the keyboard of my laptop. He's all snuggled up now beside me, which is nice, but he changed so many things. He minimized my screen until I could barely see it. Got that one fixed. But, I've lost my tool/task bar at the bottom of my screen, and I've lost everything at the top of my screen, to include "recyle" which I use a lot. I have no clue how to get these back, and trust me, Tulo isn't divulging how he did it, or how to undo it. I don't want to waste time in Google researching this. It should be easy, right? But what the heck did he do, and how do I undo it? Reply #934. Mar 10 18, 2:54 PM |

Barbie is Evil and Bad, Mark! Dammit Kevin. I also have a photographic memory for conversation, but it has to be actual conversation, face to face. I'll check into Cinderella. Maybe I love them and just forgot? Also? I kind of made up "garage and grime" being turned into "grunge," but I think it's a pretty good guess. In the meantime, help! Help me retrieve my tabs at the top of my screen, and my tabs at the bottom! I can't play anything without my back arrow and my recycle button. I can't even see the TIME. If you help me retrieve my everything, I'll look up the origins of "grunge" in Google, which I can't do now because everything has been removed by Tulo! Reply #937. Mar 10 18, 3:12 PM |

A garage band back in the early days of Rock meant a band that couldn't afford studio time and just played in a members garage, at least until the dad kicked them out, then on to a different garage. Back then, it had nothing to do with grime or grunge. I can't speak to the 90s, a wasteland of music, to me. My opinion is different than yours. I'm OK with that, are you? Unless, of course, we're talking about the 1790s or even the 1890s. Reply #938. Mar 10 18, 3:13 PM |

Elle, Barbie good, at least yesterday, when I won my Barbie Duel. By the way, at my age a photographic memory would help a lot, unfortunately I have a photogenic memory, when I look back, I have forgotten all the pain. Mark Reply #939. Mar 10 18, 3:16 PM |

HELP! NO REALLY, HELP! I thought maybe doing a reboot would help with my loss of keyboard functions. But... I can't even LOG OUT! Seriously, guys, can you help me with this? I am baffled. Reply #940. Mar 10 18, 3:19 PM |
