What? I read that several times and, congrats. You confused me. Anyway, the Stones and Springsteen (in addition to Motley Crue) come to mind as artists that recently put out new music that doesn't have the same energy/vibe as their older stuff. It seems uninspired and lazy...like it was just released for a money grab.

Just like all/any "classic" rock bands that come out with a new album/song to stay relevant after 20+ years since their peak, it sucks. It's uninspired and blasé. It was released just to make money from fans reliving the 80s-90s. About 8-10 years ago Vince Neal came to a small venue where I live. My buddy really wanted to go - tickets were $100 - kind of expensive. He played 8 songs! Eight f'ing songs! And he went off stage about 10 minutes while the band jammed. And his voice was shot. That sucked! Not too ramble...but about 5 years ago I saw John Cougar. Always wanted to see him. Found out at the concert he had new folk music. I didn't know that. I like/appreciate folk music...but I went to hear classic John Cougar. Aside from Jack and Diane and maybe 2 others, he mostly played the new folk stuff. WTF? That's not why I went to see him.

Are any of these NBA playoff games going to hit the over? So far they've all been under...I'm afraid to take the under on anything now.

I'm a mediocre piano player but truly appreciate (a.k.a. envy) those that are talented/gifted. Here are some great covers by Vika, Gamazda & Francesco - everything they play is fantastic! My favorite is probably Gamazda...she's got an awesome cover of Sweet Home Alabama but feel the attached Carry On Wayward Son really showcases how phenomenal she is. If you like Elvis, Francesco also has an impressive cover of A Little Less Conversation. Enjoy!

I went down the rabbit-hole last night and found Peter Bence. This guy just might be the absolute best! He does a lot of stuff with a looper but also can just flat out play. Wasn't sure which video to share but he's got a YouTube channel too. I'd recommend his Africa, Rocket Man, Somebody to Love, Beat It...Hell, all of it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SywaUbg5wU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrQnnhAXLt0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2FK08Mb8eo

@frank Thanks for posting Margarita Sipatova. I've not heard of her but she can play as well! I checked her YouTube page...they all seem to do a lot of the same songs but I'm sure I can find some of her stuff to add to my collection.

Great song but I don't like that version at all. Back to the theme of the post... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku0p8kwU1vc or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbRKpIkob_k

I've got 1.01 and was dead set drafting Harrison...but after all the talk about Nabers I'm a bit unsure what I'm going to do at the moment, I almost wish I was 1.02 as well.

Can't bet UConn/Illinois because I live in Illinois. Such a stupid rule...like I have any influence over the college games. But I can bet the Bears, Cubs, Sox, Bulls, & Blackhawks.

So much for taking the AL favored home teams on opening day. Astros lost and Tampa got killed. And this ends my foray into MLB betting. I'll stick to NBA and March Madness for now

You're making me blush Been quietly betting all along. Won some. Lost some. Still about even.

Put in a $1 NCAAB/MLB parlay to pay $609 Arizona -7.5 San Diego State +11 Alabama +4.5 Orioles -1.5 Tampa Rays -1.5 Astros -1.5 Rangers ML Guardians ML Mariners -1.5

I have never bet baseball either nor do I follow it. However, after learning about the free DK bet I found this and will be placing a small 4-5 team parlay on favored AL home teams. Might also take the Run Line (spread) instead of the Money Line. At the moment I am leaning towards Baltimore, Tampa Bay, Houston & Seattle. The article explains it well enough. Good Luck

Unbelievable! I have no words to describe what I just watched. How did they graduate?

No. I didn't wear tights

I'm 55. I think 90125 is solid. It's not Starship Trooper or I've Seen All Good People but to each their own. I agree about Mr. Roboto but I still like to hear it once in a while. Maybe add Jefferson Starship We Built This City to your Mt. Rushmore.

I was in 8th grade when Ozzy's Crazy Train came out. That one still holds up 40+ years later. As far as high school, everything from the 80's was fantastic...too many songs/albums to choose from. Yes 90125 Def Leppard Pyromania Scorpions Love at First Sting Peter Gabriel So Prince Purple Rain Just to name a few albums And Van Halen 5150 was a great album through out - not just Dreams.

Have you thought about a Roku or Firestick? Personally, I like the Roku better. I have two Samsungs and the "smart one" doesn't need the Roku but navigating it, like you said, blows.

I understand that it is sometimes hard to get the implied tone of what is being written but your take could not be further from the truth. Perhaps I should have included a smiling emoji to help you decipher. Do you understand this one? You are such a troll - it's the main reason I have had you on ignore for years now. Plus I don't think you are too bright. Admittedly, I sometimes let my curiosity get the better of me and I click on one of your posts...only to be reminded why I have you on ignore in the first place. Trust me, I won't do that again. Whatever "witty" insult you come up with now will forever be lost in the ether. I won't open any more posts from you, nor engage with you again. In pork butt's words "Fock off!"

Fock off?! I hope your TV falls off the wall

This made me laugh! Love it. Fun thread got ruined because "fockin losers" can't keep politics and personal attacks out of a thread that has nothing to do with politics. Have fun TV shopping.

It's gone. I opted in for this yesterday but didn't place the bet...figured I'd do it before the game on Sunday. But it must have been for "Happy Hour" only as the token is not in my rewards any longer. Oh well...I'll check out Happy Hour today and act quickly if I like the prop.

Supposed to be rainy in San Fran today. Thoughts on how that affects the game?

Fuuuudge! I tailed this but with Oklahoma in place of Tulane. I just checked and I accidently selected the UNC over. Double F'ing FUDGE!!! Just checked the scores again. FML

Had both Mostert and K Williams in my dynasty last year. Mostert was ok but I let him go to hold other players. Also held Kyren all of last year, then before this season I kept reading he was not going to be a factor so I released him too. Boy did I flub that
