After losing the myth, legend or fact forum I thought it would be nice to have a supernatural experiences and questions thread here, I'm sure there's still plenty of interest in it.

Elle. Honey. In the observation that I just made, you don't have to do or know anything about math whatsoever. The numbers are completely and totally beside the point of all of it. Think outside the box, it'll come to ya. Yeah. those horoscopes tickle me. I just love some of their advice, like "beware of scams" and stuff like that. Jeez, who would have possibly ever figured that one out? Here's what really gets me about that stuff and the people who believe in it, or believe that it has the slightest trace of validity whatsoever. Every sign has certain qualities or traits attached to it. People of one sign are supposed to be this way and that way, and people of another sign are supposed to be that way and this way, and on down the line. The reality of it all is that, sure, it's going to be pretty accurate some of the time with some people, but not with everyone. Focus on the traits and characteristics of an Aquarian. The world is full of people born under every sign of the zodiac with those exact same traits, just like the world is full of Aquarians with the exact opposite traits, and the same thing can be said about every sign in the zodiac. That's just common logic, unless one wants to try to claim that there is no such thing as a Taurus who is not stubborn or an Aquarian who is not creative, or just whatever. Please. With 8 billion people and 12 sets of characteristics, all 12 sets of characteristics are going to show up under all 12 signs sooner or later. It's a clearly obvious fact that can't be denied by anyone with a sane mind. Yet the world is full of blind followers who aren't capable of wrapping their minds around that concept if their lives depended on it. Amazing. Reply #81. Feb 13 18, 3:25 AM |

Dorkus. Sweetness. Sugar Pot Pie. No, I don't want to. What are you doing up so late, and shouldn't you be building that campfire? Are the S'mores ready yet? You know what comes next? The stickiest, gooiest, pinkest, slimiest day of all days: Valentine's Day. Dreaded by Aquarians everywhere. You know what else is frightening? That cover Harry Styles did of "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac is actually pretty good. He's so cute; looks like a young Mick Jagger. And the girls he's singing with are adorable. And... I have just forgotten which blog I'm in. Uh-oh... Oh well, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eM_FR7I2Ttw Reply #82. Feb 13 18, 4:26 AM |

Never even heard of Harry Styles until now. Guess I'm out of touch with a lot of stuff really. But that's okay, I'm happy. :-) Rumours was one of my fave albums in junior high and high school. Biggest selling rock album of all time in its day. Must have been right around '96 or '97 when I won two tickets to a concert by being the first caller to phone in to a radio station and tell them any one of the top ten selling rock albums of all time. The first thing that popped into my mind instantly was Rumours because I so clearly remembered how everyone was just going nuts over it and it was breaking all these sales records until it soon became #1 of all time. Figured it probably still had to be in the top 10. The very instant that "Rumours" came out of my mouth, Thriller by Michael Jackson popped into my head and I started kicking myself in the butt for not saying that one instead, because I knew that one topped Rumours big time. Turned out that Rumours was #7 at that time and Thriller was #2. Wound up selling the tickets for dirt cheap because I had no way to get there and no one to go with, but cash is always cool. Yeah, I'm usually up this late all the time but I need to go to bed soon. Need to get some sleep before I have to get up and go to the store. Gotta get a bunch of supplies for our wilderness journeys. :-) Reply #83. Feb 13 18, 5:44 AM |

Listen to the wind blow Down comes the night Rumours is on my list as one of those perfect albums. You didn't mention what concert you didn't attend. Who was it? Reply #84. Feb 13 18, 7:05 AM |

I can't even remember. I think it was a number of bands, and now that I think about it, it was like some kind of reggae fest. We have had an annual blues fest for many years, probably since way before I ever moved here 23 years ago, and i guess now we have a reggae fest as well. Reply #85. Feb 13 18, 12:32 PM |

Yeah, we jammin', mon! I don't know, I was kind of getting into reggae about 35 years ago when I had my toes in the sand in Jamaica drinking rum cocktails with pals from my ship and some of the local dudes were "sharing things" with us, but I'm really not all that much into it these days, mon.

I am declaring this Supernatural because... well, watch the video, listen, and see if this doesn't transcend you. I do want to know how Kid Rock got away with plagiarizing both Lynyrd Skynyrd ("Sweet Home Alabama") and Warren Zevon ("Werewolves Of London.") Maybe he got permission. It's a great mashup song, though. "It was 1989, my thoughts were short my hair was long Caught somewhere between a boy and man She was seventeen and she was far from in-between It was summertime in Northern Michigan Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh Splashing through the sand bar Talking by the campfire It's the simple things in life, like when and where We didn't have no internet But man I never will forget The way the moonlight shined upon her hair And we were trying different things We were smoking funny things Making love out by the lake to our favorite song Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long Catching Walleye from the dock Watching the waves roll off the rocks She'll forever hold a spot inside my soul We'd blister in the sun We couldn't wait for night to come To hit that sand and play some rock and roll While we were trying different things And we were smoking funny things Making love out by the lake to our favorite song Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long Now nothing seems as strange As when the leaves began to change Or how we thought those days would never end Sometimes I'll hear that song and I'll start to sing along And think man I'd love to see that girl again And we were trying different things We were smoking funny things Making love out by the lake to our favorite song Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long And we were trying different things We were smoking funny things Making love out by the lake to our favorite song Sipping whiskey out the bottle, not thinking 'bout tomorrow Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long Singing Sweet home Alabama all summer long Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwIGZLjugKA Reply #88.

Yeah, there's a live video of him singing, and then bringing what's left of Lynyrd Skynyrd out onstage with him, and that's when the crowd goes wild. So, they must have endorsed his song. Warren Zevon, not so much. I think he had died by then. I met those guys when I worked in Florida, but I can't tell you when, why or how. Still... it was kind of thrilling, although I had to act like it was just another day in the life. Kid Rock wants to run for Congress, or something. But he can't unless he declares and uses his "real" name, so don't be looking for that in your near future. That's a fun video, I think. But hey, I'm about to hit triple digits of zero sleep, so right now, everything is kind of hilarious to me. Until I start to see those owls flying. That's never fun or funny. Reply #90.

Oh, for crying out loud... We have to get this stuff out of the Supernatural Blog, and then keep it out! So, um... meeting LS was very surreal and somewhat supernatural. And seeing owls flying at me when I hit triple digits of zero consecutive hours of sleep is creepy, since it's hallucinating. I wonder what causes that? Why owls? It's always been owls, too. Never anything else. Reply #91. Feb 14 18, 12:41 PM |

The only famous people I have ever met are Pat Travers, if you can call him famous, and Ken Curtis, the guy who played Festus on Gunsmoke. Did I ever tell you about that, Elle? I didn't actually get to meet the guy, I just got to shake his hand with a bunch of other little kids at a rodeo as he went clip-clopping by on a horse. Even so, it still put a bunch of hair all over my chest and all over my butt about 8 or 10 years later. :-) Reply #92. Feb 14 18, 3:04 PM |

Royalties for original songs or instrumentals are only paid for up to fifty years, after that they belong to the public domain. Reply #93. Feb 14 18, 3:20 PM |

I did not know that, Mark. Are you sure? No, that can't be right! If so, Led Zeppelin wouldn't have been sued so many times for stealing really old blues songs and pretending they wrote them! Have you ever heard what "When The Levee Breaks" actually sounds like, when played and sung by the man and woman who really wrote it? Mother Mayfield, or something like that? Mayfield Minnie? That's close... Dorkus, that's amazing! I'd love to meet Festus! Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie! In 1927. Check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swhEa8vuP6U Vastly different from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFDYuO53BUk They may have given Memphis Minnie credit on this one, but they got busted for a lot of their songs that were NOT original! I love them, mind you -- they're brilliant. Reply #94. Feb 14 18, 8:41 PM |

That Kansas Joe stuff was pretty cool. Yeah, when I was a kid in junior high and high school, I had always just assumed that all these Zeppelin tunes were their own songs. I mean, I had never heard any of them before and I never really paid any attention to all the fine print on album and tape covers. Then over the years in my adulthood I began to discover more and more songs that they did were actually covers of someone else's songs. This was my first time ever hearing the original Levee and there are still a bunch of the originals that I have still never heard before. Reply #95. Feb 16 18, 4:50 AM |

And speaking of Supernatural, is anyone, at all, watching the new series "Here And Now"? Among other things, one of the adopted siblings begins seeing the number "11 11" everywhere. His mother is certain he is schizophrenic. I am certain he is not, and at 22, it would be handy if she just let him grow up. Which made me wonder, just one more time, why I kept waking up at precisely 3:33 a.m. every night for months and months and months. Not necessarily nights in a row, but sitting straight up in bed because I "knew," absolutely, that someone needed me, so I raced to go check that out. And sure enough... So, I looked up my own particular numbers, specifically waking up at that time and for a very specific reason, sometimes even hearing a "voice" calling to me. It's "supernatural," alright. Reply #96.

As a science teacher, I am quite skeptical of claims of the supernatural. I will not discount them entirely though. I have experienced weird phenomena myself occasionally. I do always attempt logical explanations, though. Dreams in particular do interest me. I have had a few (very rarely) that seemed to presage events that were to come. Interpretations in hindsight may be biased, however. Reply #97. Feb 27 18, 8:28 AM |

Citations must be issued for old songs because of copyrights, but royalties need only be paid for up to fifty years. We learned that in Business Law and again in my Music class this semester. Napster knows! Reply #99. Feb 27 18, 12:49 PM |
