Cute? My gf saw a pic of U2 quite a while ago and said that Larry Mullen Jr (the drummer) was quite cute. Bono to her is just plain ugly.

So Dane, you were at Tempe? Do you remember this quote?

"..... her Lover's turnin' on the Television. And I can't tell the difference between ABC News, Hill Street Blues, and the Preacher on the Old Time Gospel Hour, stealing money from the sick and the old. For the God I believe in isn't short of Cash, Mister."

That's one of my fave quotes and it's currently used as my sig over at TrekBBS.

Well for that matter, Tori Amos references a lot of stuff, particularly the Sandman comics.

This is doubly cool because the Sandman comics referenced her BACK.

I don't know of any other times this has happened.

And the chick's got an entire song that consists of names of FLOWERS! o_0

Also, as I understand it a lot of bands in the 60's and later referenced the writer William S. Burroughs.

While I'm not a big Satriani fan (personally, I like words in most of the songs I listen to), I've got friends who are, and the man definitely knows how to play a guitar.

Oh, and I pronounce "Bono" w/ a long 'o'. If he wanted a short 'o', he should have spelled it "Bonno". :-)

I'm not the only one who likes BSB, ask Michael. He's as obsessed with them as any girl on TV...

But seriously, did your girlfriend really think why she likes BSB? I know Michael and I have only three reasons we like the group.

1. The members are cute to us (Hey, Michael and I are gay, so sue us!)

2. They are currently the "it" band, but I think N'Sync will dethrone them soon though

3. It's the only music to put Michael and I in the mood to..ahhh..."exercise"

We both listen to what's popular in music, not just BSB. We both know the reason we like their music, and it's pretty superficial. We listen to Ricky Martin and to Marc Anthony when we both are in the mood to dance salsa, we listen to the Foo Fighters when we feel like driving like maniacs on the road, and we listen to certain rap songs like the song with Dr. Dre and that annoying white guy whenever we feel b*t@hy.

We did it on the floor,
We did it by the door,
We did it all night,
We did it under a light,
So how about for tonight we do it some more...

Now, call me a crazy old pice of fruit, but did any of those three reasons make a reference to their musical ability? No...

Then I stand by my comment made earlier about Justin's sense of taste.

Okay, Psy, whatever you want... you're a crazy old piece of fruit.

And Tahna, I definitely remember that quote! That concert was far and away the best I've ever seen (and I'm a Rush fan, too, so that's saying something).

Dane!! You are the man!!! I saw the Permenant Waves tour, Moving Pictures, Signals, then they didn't come here for a long while, then I went to Pittsburg to see, (can't recall for sure) either Roll the Bones or the next tour after that.

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn and Joe Satriani on MTV unpluged one night. I had always liked Joe, but Stevie made him look like a beginer that night. Joe needs to be pluged in to sound right, all his music is for electric.

I got my first Miles Davis disc a couple of months ago. I may have to get another soon, the man could play!!

Try Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, for some more great jazz, their bass player, Victor Wooten is the best in the business.
( small correction. I did not see the Rush, Hemispheres tour. I heard most of the music at the Permenant Waves tour)

Well, obviously Stevie Ray Vaughan was better. He was a God.

I'd give my hands to be able to play like he did.

Miles Davis? Did someone say Miles? Cool.

Which disc did you get? I could recommend others depending on what your tastes are.

Of course the reason why Justin and I like the Backstreet Boys is superficial. What did you expect? We like them for their talent?

If that didn't just answer what this whole thing was about, then I don't know what will.
