  1. Carpenter's Hammer: When Karen went Punk. A Hensonverse TLIAW

    Thumbs up!!!!

  2. Carpenter's Hammer: When Karen went Punk. A Hensonverse TLIAW

    VERY cool! It just got better and better! The whole package! A respected musician and producer, and - motherhood! I'm not the hugest Prince fan (though I will admit that every now and then I like to hear "1999"), but it's nice to see him surviving addiction. BTW, you missed mentioning...

  3. Carpenter's Hammer: When Karen went Punk. A Hensonverse TLIAW

    Typical! "We want you to be the sweet young thing who sings pretty! Forget about the drumming (or playing bass, guitar. saxophone, keyboards, etc.), people just want to see girls sing!" Ugh! I always hated that boys club mentality. It made things a pain for me at times. It still exists to...

  4. Carpenter's Hammer: When Karen went Punk. A Hensonverse TLIAW

    Cool!! I'm going to keep an eye on this. As a female musician (symphonic music played on brass instruments through my sophomore year of college, and guitar playing [over 45 years, including stints as a lead guitar player and lead vocalist in heavy rock bands - I still get my band fix in my...

  5. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Actually, Jeff Bridges was in several other films before "Heaven's Gate", such as "The Last Picture Show (1971), "Fat City" (1972), and another Michael Cimino film - 1974's "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot", which also starred Clint Eastwood."

  6. Alternate Aircraft of Nations

    Basler has been doing DC-3 turboprop conversions out of Whitman Field (where the EAA fly-in is held) in Oshkosh, WI since 1990. When I still lived in my hometown of Manitowoc, WI, I used to occasionally see the Basler DC-3 conversions fly overhead (they used the local airport for some of their...

  7. If the USSR does not fall, would it currently be more powerful militarily than the United States?

    I wouldn't hold my breath with regards to semiconductor manufacturing in the Soviet Union. They didn't do to well with regards to a computer industry, ditto for East Germany:

  8. How certain was the fall of communism and the USSR to people living in 1978(late 70s basically)

    We had no idea it would fall any earlier than at least 30 or 40 years down the road. In 1981-82, we had an exchange student from Finland at my high school. and even he said, that he didn't think the USSR would fall for at least another 30-35 years.

  9. The second biggest one-hit wonder group or individual? (other than Zager & Evans or the Starland Vocal Band)

    Terry Jacks - "Seasons In The Sun". XD If not that, don't forget "My Sharona" by The Knack.

  10. AHC: More groups like the Amish.

    Just an F.Y.I. - the pacifistic aspect of the Amish. They may believe in pacifism with regards to people, but that's it. They are notorious for running puppy mills and kitty mills. I know people who do animal rescue (one of them is my coworker), and they get a fair amount of their dogs from...

  11. AHC - Keep baseball (MLB) as the most popular sport

    I don't know if you could make MLB Baseball #1, but you could at least maintain its place in the the Big 3, by emphasize it media-wise as being radio friendly.

  12. AHC - Keep baseball (MLB) as the most popular sport

    Yep, that's why I seldom watch it. Here's your typical baseball action: 1. Pitcher chews whatever is in his mouth. 2. Pitcher looks at catcher's hand signals (but not always) for what pitch to throw. 3. Pitcher looks at each of the bases to see if the runner on the base is trying to steal a...

  13. Witch of Wall Street donates her extensive fortune to charity when she dies

    Good luck with that. IMO, it borders on ASB. From what I have read, and the video The History Guy had about Hetty Green on his YouTube channel, she redefined the word "tightwad." Her son wound up losing a leg, because she was so cheap, she wouldn't pay for any medical care for his leg (it...

  14. If not the guitar, what musical instrument for 1955-1995?

    Believe it or not, the accordion was a popular instrument in the 40s and 50s. Most amps had inputs not only for guitar, but for the accordion. With the right circumstances, I could see the accordion replacing the guitar in popular music (she winces as she writes this - I've been a guitar...

  15. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Well, if it is Mr. Kilmister, it looks like he never got into playing bass, due to him never joining Hawkwind. Being put on the spot by Dikmik (who played synth for Hawkwind, and whom Lemmy happened to be hanging out with at the time), when Lemmy and Dikmik showed up at a Hawkwind rehearsal, to...

  16. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Perhaps, but IMO his mental health issues would have to be detected earlier. I get the impression from what I've read, that like Syd Barrett (who David Gilmour said had already had a mental breakdown, when he was a teenager), that Ian Curtis had mental health issues before Joy Division existed...

  17. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    So a lot of the bands that defined the heavy music I've listened to (or even played in the bands I've been in - I'm usually the lead guitarist) since the 80s (when I was a university student), and even the 70s, when I was a teenager (Judas Priest, Rush, and Budgie may have also been butterflied...

  18. Stupid Luck and Happenstance, Thread III

    Umm I've been playing guitar since 1979, and from what I've seen on my Fenders, they always go up to 10 (most, like my Tonemaster Deluxe Reverb), or 12 (Tweed Fenders). :) Now the Marshall JCM 900 - they used to go up to 20. I remember an ad for them, that included Mr. Tufnel (aka Christopher...

  19. WW3 in the 70s?

    I'd be out of luck, considering, that during the 70s, I was growing up in a small city (Manitowoc, WI) only about 20 miles from 2 nuclear power plants (Point Beach and Kewaunee), that were on the target list. Oh yeah, and let's throw in fallout drifting up with southerly winds, from Milwaukee...

  20. Have DUNE (1984) be a critical and financial success

    Good luck with that. I saw the 1984 Dune movie at the theater a week after it was released. It was disappointing to say the least, even for my boyfriend, who was a Frank Herbert & Dune nut (unlike me - I've never finished a Frank Herbert novel [they were even more plodding than "War & Peace"...
