I saw him three times between 1993 and 2009. Great show every time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlBJGy5vmtQ

This looks great. I'm fairly out of touch with pop music anymore, but my impression is that Adele took Amy's vocal style and made an amazing pop career out of it. She has a great voice. But Amy was so rooted in R&B and jazz that she would never have prospered the way Adele has. So sad.

I'm also a fan of Gran Prix. He and McQueen also got in a bit of a feud over that. I can't remember exactly, but eitherMcQueen was doing a different F1 movie at the time or was in the running for the role in Gran Prix and was miffed when Garner got it. Anyway, it lead to McQueen making...

Didn't Navin Johnson invent that?

It's really just a sense that there's really very few exampes of underhandedness that would lead to the animosity that's being shown. Senna/Prost exhibited a number of dirty moves that rmaped things up. I don't think they liked each other from the beginning and it went downhill from there...

Does the animosity between Hamilton and Rosberg seem a bit contrived? It's almost as if Mercedes said, "Hey, we're winning so much, everyone's going to start hating us. Let's create some drama to draw their attention." There was some hard driving with each other at Bahrain, but nothing overly...

I'm glad someone relates. I still wonder how bad some images could be frozen on the screen.

That's an idea. The other issue I have is having young teenagers in the house. I'm admittedly in denial about what they're aware of, but don't really want to be in the same room with them when some scenes would be on screen. My best option seems to be to buy the series on disc and watch them...

John Pinette was one of my favorites as well. It made me feel bad though, getting so much enjoyment from him making fun of himself and his weight. He did it so well. My favorite bit was France and Italy. Wonderful. I hadn't seen him lately. I read somewhere that he was in the best shape of...

As heartless as GRRM is about killing off sympathetic characters, it makes it all the better when some evil bastard character gets offed. Kinda wish I had signed up for HBO, so I could seee Joffrey turn purple.

:wave: Hope it's a great game. Colts have been consistently inconsistent this year. I was driving during the KC game; I thought Bob Lamey (Colts radio announcer) was going to open a vein in the first half.

Too lazy to go look for it, but I thought I read somewhere that Martin had a bet with a friend who was a Cowboy fan over a Cowboy-Giant game and as a result he created a character who was in the battle at the wall in the last book. The character's shield was silver with a blue star on it. I...

Finally watched the video. From reading the comments on other sites I had already come down on the side of the Range Rover driver. One thing I think I learned (if you can believe what you read on the internet) is the with small front tire and smaller brakes, a sport bike will take the around...

So sorry to see him go. Too young. I remember trying to convince my boss that I should be able to read Red Storm Rising on the clock as it would contribute to my training program. Cardinal of the Kremlin was also my favorite one of those early magic books of his. He kind of jump the shark...

The fact that the human element and interaction were so well done in Rush is what should make it appealing to the non-racing geeks. From the anecdotes I've read, I think that's the case. I didn't really have time to talk to the non-racing geeks that went with us to confirm this. You're...
