Post No. 1,008
Hey everyone. It's great ... to be ... a HABOTN HOTTIE.I'm thinking it's time for a campfire. At some point today we will log our 1,000,000th pageview in recorded history. More than 80% of that traffic has come since June 1, 2008 -- two years after we began -- which shows you how quickly our popularity is multiplying.
To celebrate, let's hold a campfire to celebrate our achievement.
I'll be here starting at 2 p.m. CST. If you can't make it because of work, I understand. We'll hold an evening campfire soon -- either tonight or Thursday.
Thanks, as always, for making the HABOTN so dadgum incandescent.
UPDATE: WE HAVE BOUNDED INTO THE RECORD BOOK
There it is. We have cracked the 1,000,000 plateau. It occurred overnight, I believe.RECRUITING NEWS: Our friends at AuburnSports.com report that Auburn sent a four-coach flotilla to Austin, Texas, last night for a chat with WR Emory Blake and his peeps. That's an unusually large traveling party. Blake has said he'll announce a decision on Feb. 4. I have no reason to believe he'll pull the trigger before then.

ReplyDelete1st?
ReplyDeleteHABOTN: Where ACT scores still matter.
ReplyDeleteQuattro
ReplyDeleteOn that same note, Tyrik should just get diagnosed with ADD and take the "extended time" ACT. I had a bunch of friends who did that in high school and they made much much better score. And it is pretty easy to get diagnosed with ADD. Just go to the doctor and say you are having trouble paying attention. There ya go.
ReplyDeleteHey, one of you nuts who are facebook friends with him should forward this information on. We can make him an Auburn Tiger if we work at it!
To continue a conversation being held on the previous thread:
ReplyDeleteThe first Grateful Dead download pack included:
Casey Jones
Truckin'
China Cat Sunflower
Franklin's Tower
I Need A Miracle
Sugar Magnolia
... plus "Alabama Getaway" is on the Rock Band 2 disc.
It's just like, it's just like a mini show.
Jay,
ReplyDeleteAre they the extended live versions or the standard 4 min studio versions?
I can imagine playing a 20 min live version of Franklin's Tower and getting 19 mins into it and then fail.
I have to admit, I have an unhealthy addiction to Guitar Hero: World Tour.
ReplyDeleteThere are some songs I recognize.
ReplyDeleteI love Rock Band/Guitar Hero, but I can never justify spending that much moolah on a new gaming system and then even more moolah on those games. I got kids to feed!
World Tour is a lot of fun. I actually like it better than Rock Band, but no real complaints about either.
ReplyDeletewouldn't playing all those Gratefule Dead songs in a row take like 4 hours
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Monica, Jet, 4 realz, let Tyrik know that he is ADD and can take the ACT with extra time. We don't have much time here, he will probably need to sign up soon.
ReplyDeleteI put this on the other board, but I think that Rollison making the grade on the ACT is less than 50-50. He made the 13 less than a year ago, then 15 in the fall. The greatest improvement usually comes on the second try, and the chance for improvement on the third try is small- a large number of test-takers actually go backward.
ReplyDeleteI think the suggestion before that he might be better served by taking the SAT is a god one - especially since he took Algebra II. It weighs math heavier.
I just think we'll be fortunate if he qualifies.
I have never liked the Rock Band guitar. It always seemed like it lagged a bit. I am more in tune with the guitar hero guitar.
ReplyDeleteMaybe we could start a petition: "Tyrivk PLEASE take the SAT instead!"
ReplyDeleteHe's the best tackler since Joe Montanya.
ReplyDeleteWhat do we know about Blake?
Jay G.
ReplyDeleteI have truly enjoyed this BLOG.... we have genuine conversation that is insightful, funny, hard-hitting, edgy and just plain HOT!!!!
We are the most quoted of all AUBURN Blogs, and I can truly say it's because of the well mannered, and respectful thoughts that the HOTTIES put out....
We are thankful for you doing what you do on a daily bases to give most of us a forum to release and speak without being "the GRAND PooPah" and editing us one and all....
We appreciate you and wish you well for all your days....
Our Fearless Leader JAY G.TATE...
Raise you glasses and toast the HABOTN!!!
Here-Here!!!
Tyrik's HC is HS has said he believes Rollison will be a full qualifyer with ease.
ReplyDeleteAUn, cheers mate!
ReplyDeleteI still have no answer as to what the G stands for -- Gary?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I enjoy this blog because it polices itself without being fascist.
1 MILLION HITS? FREAKIN' AUSOME. ANOTHER MILESTONE JG. CONGRATS.
ReplyDeleteAND YES, I THOUGHT THIS HISTORIC ACHIEVEMENT DESERVED 'ALL CAPS'. :)
Question on recruiting for next year. Obviously, this year the new coaches are continuing to recruit from the areas where they know players(Texas,etc.). But next year, will they continue to recruit these areas hard, or will they return to AU's traditional areas of Alabama, Florida and the Southeast in general? Thanks.
ReplyDeletedoes the millionth hit win something?
ReplyDeleteIf Tyrik shows significant improvement the next time around, the NCAA will just flag it and say he couldn't have gotten that much smarter, even if, through tutoring/coaching, he actually did.
ReplyDeleteThe NCAA can be such bullies.
depressed, I've heard from statements that they want to start hitting the in-state talent hard while also moving outward from there. I think some of the kids we're getting from outside are based on prior relationships and contacts.
ReplyDeleteWell said MobileZ; I second that emotion
ReplyDeleteSounds like they're pulling out all the stops, like when they sent everybody in Auburn to visit Carnell. That worked, maybe this will too. Congrats on the 1,000 post and 1,000,000 page views. That's a pretty big deal.
ReplyDeleteOn Blake they actually met with him on Monday night. They coaches were in Louisiana and Mississippi yesterday. They have told a couple prospects they we are full at Lb. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteCoach Chizik said this year is an anomaly, that AU won't be looking so far and wide in the future, but will concentrate on AL, AL, AL, GA, FL. Not exclusively on those states, just emphasis there.
ReplyDeleteThe dreded NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE:
ReplyDeleteWho was it - the LB from Opelika that had his paperwork approved but the NCAA admitted that they just forgot about it.
"Ooops, sorry kid.
We know your life's future is in limbo but I had a pastrami sammich that day and it gave me gas, so I had to take a nap and forgot all aboot your transcipts."
If your score on the ACT bumps up too much at one time, then it raises suspicion and would be investigated by either the ACT group or the NCAA. He would have to make the improvement over several attempts. I'll be really concerned if he enrolls this fall.
ReplyDeleteThey have told a couple prospects they we are full at Lb. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteTo quote Kyle's mom WHATWHAT WHAT??!!??
The difference in a 15 and a 19 can easily be explained by better preperation and expansion of your knowledge base. If he hits a 22+ be concerned.
ReplyDeleteHow many times can a kid take it and in what timeframe?
ReplyDeleteDid they even tell Tana that?
ReplyDeleteJust a thought -Who in HADES came up with the idea to do a show about plane crashes?
ReplyDeleteNatGeo has a show called Air Emergencies - If you're taking a trip soon don't watch it.
"I need a miracle" would be a good theme song for auburn fans as far as getting randle or Brown to come to the plains.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the replies. I look forward to seeing AU compete again for the top talent in-state. I don't care where players come from, but AU cannot compete at the top level getting shut-out every year in the top 10-12 in-state players. This has turned into a disturbing trend. I am intrigued to see Luper and Trooper going against the evil empire.
ReplyDeleteInverness -I think you are referring to LeMarcus Rowell, the LB from Opelika.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know how many OL have made it in the NFL from Texas Tech lately? Just curious since they don't run an NFL type offense, but have done an awesome job of preventing sacks.
ReplyDeleteDo y'all think Gus Malzahn's offense will be attractive to OL recruits?
congrats on the 1,000,000 hits.
ReplyDeleteThats a pretty generic grateful dead song list...y no dark star...terrapin station..i guess you actually would have to have some talent to play those songs,...sorry for hatin but i "as a musician" jus dont like the whole guitar hero stuff..y not actually learn how to play..i guess some people jus aint got it...sorry JAY i know u love that stuff...i just dont get.
ReplyDeleteI ain't got it.
ReplyDeleteI'm not shy about admitting this.
AU will get back into the game IN -STATE but as we all know, AU will have to get back bigtime, into FL and GA.
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy with 4-6 of the top 12 players in AL and a few from neighboring states.
Inverness, I think you can take the ACT as many times as you can
ReplyDeleteHey Scottie B, I heard a song on Sirius yesterday and thought of you.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard the song - Scotty doesn't know
Classic!
I wish I could identify who was responsible for the 1,000,000th hit, but it's just not possible.
ReplyDeleteThat would have been a Hall of Fame moment for someone.
Nooj, I'm one of those guys who just don't have it. I've tried to pick up the guitar a couple times. But I am just tone deaf and don't have it.
ReplyDeleteMalzhan's offense is nothing like Tx Tech's in that in actually runs the ball.
ReplyDeleteTT's OL scheme has major splits and throws quickly, that's why there's no sacks.
CGM's offense shouldn't have a hardtime attracting OL propects.
"Do y'all think Gus Malzahn's offense will be attractive to OL recruits?"
ReplyDeleteNo idea if they get big OL recruits or get a look at the NFL, but he ones at Texas Tech do a good enough job to make their offense work very well.
Are any of the Dead songs the live version where you'll be playing the same note for 15 straight minutes?
ReplyDeleteJay GT - I may have been the millionth. I'm feeling tingly all over.
ReplyDeleteAubie - if I had a poo that big, I'd be so proud I'd wear it on my head, too.
ReplyDeleteChizik, Rocker, and Malzahn visited Blake nite of 1/26 - not sure who/if fourth coach was, but I hope they flew in the B52...
ReplyDeleteDarren Bates **S, Olive Branch, MS will visit this wknd. with teammate big OL ****Aubrey Phillips, 6-6, 310.
AU offered 2010 RB Storm Johnson, Buford, GA, 6-1, 210.
Awsome name for a RB - Storm Johnson.
ReplyDeleteDo you know if the S and the BIG OL are close friends?
To me, that will be the biggest GET of them all.
Texas Tech had some pretty good talent in '08 on offensive line, nothing to scoff at.
ReplyDeleteOn that note..I remember thinking entering the '08 season that would be one of AU's strengths!
Nooj - I got it
ReplyDeleteand gots it
ReplyDeleteI know you guys as smart as you are, have already discussed somewhere but....Does Petey going to UAT help our chances at Tana?
ReplyDeleteWhat do I want for lunch? Do I go home and eat cereal (HoneyComb or Cocoa Pebbles) - or - do I go get something (and if so, what?)?
ReplyDeleteOn the Pebbles front, I recommend the Fruity Variety.
ReplyDeleteI can buy a box of them and often Wifey eats the whole damn box leaving the box in the pantry as a taunt.
Vengence will be mine!
I play guitar, and I also enjoy guitar hero. They are two very different skills. I remember being frustrated about songs I had trouble passing on guitar hero that I could play in real life. It's a fun video game, you should try it nooj.
ReplyDeleteAnd Rock Band takes it to a whole nuther level because of the singing. That's just fun to get in and play with the friends/family.
And TarHEelTiger, I am sorry, but that funny feeling you had was probably just part of you becoming a man. I am fairly certain that I was the millionth hit.
Congrats on another HABOTN milestone Jay. I love all the different views of the Auburn program I see here.
ReplyDeleteSo for lunch today...
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking BBQ..
Miss Myra's perhaps?
drive to Memphris and get some reall BBQ, FSJ. That is my recommendation.
ReplyDeleteMcheial, I was thinking the same thing. Not that I play guitar but I know several who do who love guitar hero.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the difference between Guitar Hero World Tour and Rock Band?
MillerTime,
ReplyDeleteBased on your dentition, I'd avoid the pre-sweeetened cereals for a while.
i also can somewhat play a real guitar, poorly, but i can play it. I still really enjoy Rock Band, especially the drums
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteI'm sure I haven't hit that milestone yet. Perhaps it was all the fudge I ate.

ReplyDeleteThanks JG
ReplyDeleteI agree with AUnMobilz on the name
"the GRAND PooPah"
I have enjoyed this site and everyone that gets on here and posts
I SAID IT'S GREAT
ReplyDeleteTO BE
A HABOTN HOTTIE
YES, IT'S GREAT
TO BE
A HABOTN HOTTIE
Kristenah, the difference between Guitar Hero and Rock Band is they are made by different companies, I think. Guitar Hero came first, then someone said, "Hey, what if we did the whole band," so they made Rock Band, so then Guitar Hero said, "WTF! That was like our idea, only better! We better do that to!" So they did. The instruments have a little different feel to them, but it's the same concept. Different songs also, of course.
ReplyDeleteMON!
ReplyDeleteWhatsssssssssssssup!
Where the hell you been this morning?
Hi Monica,
ReplyDeleteDid E. Blake give off good vibes on Rivals?
p.s. please send us some snow
zoo keeper is a regular Joan Jett...
ReplyDeleteAubie, thanks. i hadn't heard that song. it's definitely not a 'pro-scottie' song but still. :)
ReplyDeleteMon,
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the Brewton coach's blog?
http://coacheseagleeye.blogspot.com/
Great article on AU recruiting
ok HOTTIES,
ReplyDeleteHere's my opinion.... we get three verbals this weekend:
Taikwon Paige DB
Aubrey Phillips OT
Darren Bates, S
David Oku- RB (Wildcard)
Tell me your thoughts?
Hey Mobilezzzz - I've been busy as hello. Had to come into office - used ice skates to get here - trying to finish up some stuff before Greg comes to pick me up in a few minutes. Then we'll head back home, hunker down and hope we don't lose power like 60,000 other folks in our area already have. Oh and it's snowing again.
ReplyDeleteThat's alright Scottie B. Fiona wasn't good for you anyway.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, it's from the movie Eurotrip, which, by the way, did NOT win an Academy Award. shame.
weathering the ice storm well, mon?
ReplyDeleteThere is going to be wome weird posts today just to get on here for the 1000000 post.
ReplyDeleteTar - I'm blinding by my own desire to have Blake here. I can't be trusted for an opinion.
ReplyDeleteAubie - Yes, I saw that. He's a coach at W.S. Neal in East Brewton. He was on the official visit with Jamar Travis.
Mobilz would love to get Oku. This guy is good. Then have Phillips as well. Shaping up to be a nice class.
ReplyDeleteSo far so good, Scottie. I'm going to try to take some more pics on the drive from my office back home in a few minutes.
ReplyDeleteOh and Dirty is having a baby GIRL! YAY!!
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine the anguish if Monica looses power. I think she would miss HABOTN more than heat :).
ReplyDeleteBe safe Mon!
I agree moblz,
ReplyDeleteI'll add Greg King to that list.
yup, be careful Monnie. we need more doggie/snow pics. :)
ReplyDeleteaubie, i dunno. the whole Fiona/Lana Lang this is kinda hottt. :)
Eddie - Bite your tongue! I've already decided I'll save my laptop battery for the Campfire this afternoon. Not that I considered that before I even thought about "bread and milk" or anything. *cough*
ReplyDeleteLata :-)
Jim rome...you live in mobile? if so we should Jam sometime....tryin to start a band....rock/regaee/jammm....
ReplyDeleteMon,
ReplyDeletebe careful... if you loose power you can just run a generator to holla at us on the HABOTN, or we will send smoke signals up for you...
scottie, atl, eddie, MT, lets go get'em this weekend.... it's the bottom of the ninth, we got our rally caps turned inside out and backwards (cuz CTT wants us to, nuff said) and our power hitters, are due up....down by two runs, and all we need is to get somebody on and get the big-bopper (CGC) up to the plate....
DRAMA!!!!!
Was there really a holier than thou post on here about because someone plays a musical instrument they look down on rock band and guitar hero?
ReplyDeleteI played baseball and football, does that mean I should look down on people who play those games on a Playstation?
I met the Brewton coach last weekend. I really like him. Very enthusiastic and obviously made the correct career choice.
ReplyDeleteAUN, i'll be putting in new countertops in the kitchen for the big Super Bowl party sunday. if there's anything i can do to move this recruiting weekend along let me know!
ReplyDeleteIt was me...i dont have anything against people that play guitar hero...just dont get ti myself...more power to you if that what u like...just not for me.
ReplyDeleteHow many Hotties are fans of The Pink Floyd?
ReplyDeleteInquiring minds want to know...
And yes you can clown on people for playin playstation football....wont get you anywhere but you are within your rights to do so!
ReplyDeleteAnd i am pretty sure you did not have the moves that my PS3 running back has...juke left, juke right , stiff arm...bam..lol...hope by now u realize i am just messin with ya.
ReplyDeleteFloyd is one of my all time favs.
ReplyDeletei'm more of a Zeppelin fan myself Sensi.
ReplyDeleteMichael, I'm with you on getting a new gae system (actually getting A game system) then paying for the game. BUT not having played guitar, it's fun to "play" with the band. However now that they have the drums, its almost all I can do not to go get a system off ebay and head to Walmart and get World Tour. Rock Band's drums are lots of fun and fairly real, but I've heard many good things about GH drum "kit".blah blah blah.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jay G.Tate on the million hits
definitely a fan of floyd. my, pre-me, saw them in chicago around the time that meddle came out. they crashed an airplane into the stage.
ReplyDeleteWe have cracked the 1,000,000 plateau officially.
ReplyDeleteVisual proof added to main thread.
Thanks!
meant to say "my wife"
ReplyDeleteI loved Randall "Pink" Floyd ... swell Texas HS quarterback. It's a shame he wouldn't sign a form to signify his commitment to a championship season in '76.
ReplyDeleteWhy not get a real drum set is all im sayin?
ReplyDeleteNooj, this tangent is getting tiresome. Can we drop it?
ReplyDeleteI need a recruiting fix...anyone got any news?
ReplyDeleteSure, i am sorry jay...i know u love rock band...and i agree it is gettin old...apologies...can we still be friends?
ReplyDeleteBy your logic nooj, I guess I should stop stealing cars from the comfort of my man-cave and actually hit the streets.
ReplyDeleteGot one nooj. Play it too. BTW I also meant to say game. Wasn't implying anything towards Michael. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
ReplyDeleteSensi,
ReplyDeleteI like Pink Floyd, I think David Gilmour is an excellent guitarist. However, I also think The Wall is one of the most overrated albums of all time.
As long as you stop playing the main riff to "Stairway" ...
ReplyDeleteOh NO...i have offended the HOTTIE nation...please dont gang up on me...IM SORRY...I love you all..rock band is the best game ever made.
ReplyDeleteDone and done
ReplyDeleteyou can't play stairway, the sign clearly indicates you can't do it.
ReplyDelete"You're in need of a serious attitude adjustment young man.", said the coach to Randall 'Pink' Floyd.
ReplyDeleteI might be very late on this, but I just checked out Rollison's stats from this past year and I got school-girl giggly.
ReplyDeleteHey JAYG, congrats on the very sucessful blog, and thank you for the very rare "unbiased reporting, it is a breath of fresh air in a smog filled media.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support, Nooj.
ReplyDeleteScottie: I'm glad someone got that reference.
"Man, it's the same bs they tried to pull in my day. If it ain't that piece of paper, there's some other choice they're gonna try and make for you. You gotta do what Randall Pink Floyd wants to do man. Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N." - Wooderson
ReplyDeleteD&C, my wife's favorite movie. good times JGT, good times.
ReplyDeletejay....no news on recruiting huh?....im sorry just need a FIX
ReplyDeleteGilmour's work is undeniable.
ReplyDeleteThe Wall was clearly Roger's opus and the rest of the guys were just there for the ride. The very best albums flow from Meddle - Wish You Were Here. I like the later stuff, but without Roger (even as out there as he can be) it just wasn't the same.
Congrats on the 1 mil mark, Jay G!
The Wall and The Final Cut have almost no guitar solos on it and seem to be mostly just Roger complaining about everything.
ReplyDeleteI thought even without Roger that The Division Bell was an excellent album.
Congrats on the Million+ page views JGT! You've been propping us readers up... but it wouldn't matter much, and we wouldn't have anything to read if you weren't doing your thing. You deserve the props!
ReplyDeletemost overrated band on all time to me is AC/DC. They are like nails on a chalkboard to me. vomit
ReplyDeleteI know its was me now -- I feel this incredible burden to live up to being the 1,000,000 th guy.
ReplyDeleteAnyone got any smack?
Sensi,
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny that on The Final Cut, the 1st time you hear David Gilmour's voice is on the last track and he's saying "F--- all that" which I assume is a hidden message to the previous tracks.
Sensi - I just watched Pink Floyd: Which one's Pink" on VH1 Classic.
ReplyDeleteA channel I highly recommned.
It talked straight to those facts and about how Waters now wishes he would have acted more like a grown up.
Final Cut is one I don't have, but I agree with your assessment, RK.
ReplyDeleteHit me up on email and we will plan a Floyd listen-in sometime.
TDB is a good effort; High Hopes is as good a thing Gilmour ever wrote (even if his wife helped him).
I'm not into Rock Band and such, but anyone who likes classic rock might enjoy Wings FM if in Auburn. It is 100.3 on FM dial and I believe they broadcast in HD also.(I don't have HD Radio). Congratulations to Jay on the milestone. I know he puts in lots of free work for this blog and it is much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI was a huge Pink Floyd fan in high school, don't listen to them hardly ever now, but I still like em. Post Meddle to The Wall was quite a run.
ReplyDeleteI don't know that the Wall is overrated, but it is the only Floyd Album I skip songs on. It was a bit bloated. Animals is probably my favorite.
Inverness Chris,
ReplyDeleteI watched and DVR'd that as well as the live Dark Side performance. Very good of Roger to admit that many years later. LOL!
I like the VH1 Classic channel as well.
Waters was a commie, so f that. Gilmour would be nothing without Waters, though, just like Waters would be nothing without Gilmour.
ReplyDeleteNot a big AC/DC post Bon Scott.
ReplyDeleteI have grown to love ths Stones more country/gritty works.
My wife gave me this huge coffee table book from Rolling Stone - top 500 albums of all time. 43 is Dark Side of the Moon.
Kinda low IMO.
AWSOME book with a forward from Steven Van Zandt
100.3 is pretty good for classic rock and it is in HD.
ReplyDeleteAnybody else mad about digital TV being moved back, cause I am
Are the coaches visiting Jawanza Starling/Corey Gaines today?!
ReplyDeleteHarrison, AC/DC is harmless, you should be flogged for your unkind words. What did they ever do to you?
ReplyDeleteI just got it with AT&T along with a channel called PALADIA which is noothing but Live music in HD.
ReplyDeleteSoundsatge, Crossroads, Storytellers and such.
I'm hoping to catch the MTV Live form the 10 spot Radiohead performance I have on VHS somewhere.
I love VH1 Classic, however they need to have more concerts on there, the loop of Rush and Motley Crue they have had lately is getting old.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny to see Waters stance change, since in the mid 80's he sued them over the name because he figure the world thought he was Pink Floyd anyway.
Harrison, if people hadn't heard about the switch over by now, they live under a rock!
ReplyDeleteI side with Waters on the lawsuit. He was more Pink Floyd than the three of the other guys combined.
ReplyDeleteMichael,
ReplyDeleteI think Roger is still a bit on the socialist side these days, but he has mellowed with age.
That Live 8 thing was awesome and the last you'll ever get from those 4, so if you have that, enjoy it.
I think they both realize how they needed each other through the years.
Ok, i flipped to Paladia and dammit, Snoop Doggs on with Dougie Fresh doing one of his old tunes "Tick tock"
ReplyDeleteRead the sign - "No Stairway"
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the Wonder Boy of Blogging, the one and only Mr. Jay G. "Geezy" Tate. Attaboy.
On AU basketball - man, when we go cold we go ARTIC.
Beat Vandy!
AU Women = BAD ASS
Okay, that was my Terets post for the day. Been a busy guy and just had to get on here and let it all out.
Peace Hotties!
Animals and Meddle are both GREAT albums...the WALL is overrated
ReplyDeleteI think it was equal parts Waters & Gilmour.
ReplyDeleteWithout Gilmour's guitar tone and playing and his voice, Waters wouldn't have had the same chance to get his message to the masses.
AC/DC once rolled my yard. I hate them michael
ReplyDeleteWaters is floyd
ReplyDeleteLove gilmour though...his solo stuff is great..on an island gives me chills
ReplyDelete"Without Gilmour's guitar tone and playing and his voice, Waters wouldn't have had the same chance to get his message to the masses."
ReplyDeleteWell written, RK. Don't count out how much Richard and Nick contributed to those arrangements. Richard was the purest musician in that group. Roger took control when Syd bailed because no one else would/could and that worked for four great records. The song High Hopes is pretty much all about that band's life, albeit told through Dave's eyes.
High hopes was written about the life of pink floyd.
ReplyDeleteWe all may be singing,
ReplyDeleteThe grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The night of wonder
if the Chizik era isn't comparable to the Tubs era.
ah , i see sensi beat me to that fun fact.
ReplyDeletePaladia is also on Charter HD here in the 'ham.
ReplyDeleteI love all the UK music festivals in HD.
Iggy Pop was on the other day showing a lot of plumber's crack in a skintight pair of pants. My kids couldn't believe that shriveled up old fart was dancing around like that... meaning Iggy... not me.
This takes me back to high school when I used to argue the merits of Waters and Gilmour. Pink Floyd would not have been iconic without Gilmour, but with another guitarist they still could have put out some hits. I don't think Gilmour would have done much of anything without Waters. Just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteAnd Harrison, just because you were a victim of a dirty deed done dirt cheap doesn't mean you have the right to be a jerk. At least they didn't use TNT or HIGGGHHH VVOOOLTAGE!!!!
LOL, aubie
ReplyDeletePlanes been to Atlanta this morning and is heading to Tallahassee this afternoon. Could we be getting a coach from FSU?
ReplyDeleteAubie - have you been approached by AT&T's U-verse cable system?
ReplyDeleteWe lowered our payment by 60-70 bucks and ADDED HD we didn't have.
We got the basic 200 channel setup and added some cool cool s**t.
Paladia's got some awsome stuff. I saw Iggy with the Stooges ripping it up. He was basically in the corwd the entire time. Cool.
There is a great house band in Fayetteville AR called Windy Austin and the Hot House Tomato Boys. Whenever anyone yells Free Bird, old Windy flips them off and yells back - No Charge!
ReplyDeleteanyone here a widespread fan?
ReplyDeleteAubie, what is that picture...is that a doo doo hat
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, heard you on jox yesterday - great call about the bammer bball/recruiting issue.
Secondly, I hate Charter with all my soul. If the Taliban had a cable company I would use them. I need to check on the AT&T deal. The issue I have is with internet and email. We have had the same charter email address for 8 years and I don't want to have to change.
Yes Nooj, it's my poop hat. It keeps me warm and moist.
ReplyDelete(that's what she said)
bwahhhhhahaha
ReplyDeletehttp://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=119066510
ReplyDeleteDear Leader is actually on the page! Just scroll down a little way.
Widespread is good Nooj. Saw them live once. Not worth me getting their albums, but pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI was really into Phish back in the day, though.
I too hate Charter. They are the only cable option in Auburn. I bet they are owned by AC/DC
ReplyDeleteAnon,
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking they are visiting recruits in Tallyhassy
(Corey Gaines - 4* DT, visiting this weekend; Jawanza Starling - 4* safety/LB; James Green - 4* WR, UTenn commit)
Nooj,
Yes, I am a Panic fan.
I've seen Panic twice. Both good shows. I'm not a big fan, but I like them.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see them now that Jimmy Herring is in the band. He's an excellent guitar player.
Michael .... Phish? Panic? You party guy you. Enjoyed Panic more at their show, but it may have been the venue and general, ummm, "atmoshpere" was going a little bit stronger than at the Phish show.
ReplyDeleteI saw Panic twice. Once in ATL on New Years Eve (Great show... At least the parts I remember), and once in Macon (don't remember much of this one, I think it was a good show).
ReplyDeleteGonna be working and can't attend campfire! Try not to solve all the world's problems at one time!
ReplyDeleteI love lamp
ReplyDeleteAT&T -- if becomes available in your area check it out.
ReplyDeleteI have a faster internet service now than I ever did with Cahrter and I can do things with my TV like check my call log, later, check email and DVR 4 channels at once.
Also, I can watch any of the shows I have DVR'd from any TV in the house. I can only record and delete from one but they said soon I'll be able to DVR from all TVs.
Check it out somewhere -- Its called AT&T U-verse. The guy who we bought it from said just about everyone in Meadowbrook signed up and one guy got it for his home in ATlanta but had no idea it was available there.
And as far as my calls, I've called D&B for years now & really respect those guy compared to F'Baum.
You can check availability here.

ReplyDeleteI love panic...been to over 100 shows since 1999...herring is tha man.
ReplyDelete100+ shows?
ReplyDeleteExplains a lot Nooj!
I kid, I kid.
I have seen panic too many times. Looking at around 125 shows or so from 96-2002. Lost too many brain cells.
ReplyDeleteNooj - I'm in the 35242 Meadowbrook section of Shelby Co.
ReplyDeleteIts beginning to expand. I highly recommend and am finding MANY MANY peeps who dislike Charter.
Chris,
ReplyDeleteNo AT&T in my section of the 'burbs either. They will notify me when it is available.
Chris, when you said Meadowbrook, I wondered...wonder how come it's not available in Pelham...
ReplyDeleteWidespread shows are interesting. That is the only place where frat boys and hippies live in harmony. The world could learn a lot at a Widespread Panic show.
ReplyDeleteso true micheal...the world could learn alot from a panic crowd...like how to get to the front without pissing everyone off on the way.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of that, did anyone read where a drunken police officer urinated on a fan at a Metallica concert the other night?
ReplyDeleteBeen to 92 shows myself. Wanted to go to Red Rocks, went to halloween shows in the big easy instead. That week after was a rough one for work.
ReplyDeleteBtw, Jimmy Herring is a legend.
I'm just glad Herring is finally getting his due. From the Aquarium Rescue Unit to his short stay in the Allman Brothers he's always been great.
ReplyDeleteA Widespread set on RockBand would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteFirst time poster here. Loving the HABOTN so much am thinking I need to check into rehab.
ReplyDeleteHave decided to worry about our OL, since our new OL coach has been so MIA that I almost forgot we hired one. Does anyone know what Grimes (or anyone) is doing as far as recruting for the OL?
this had turned into a music boar in here what's goin on? And nooj4 seems younger than me
ReplyDeleteHerring is a legend...btw, i was sooo pissed panic went to denver this year for new years...broke my 6 year streak of seein em in atl for new years as i couldnt make it to denver...therefore that coupled with the iron bowl 6 endin...its fair to say i despise the number 7 ...or is it 6 i should dislike?
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to play a WP set on Rock Band while you're dancing like you're having a seizure
