Saw Winwood many years ago (sometime in the mid-80s, IIRC) in NYC - it was on a pier next to the Intrepid on the west side and it began at sunset. The setting was perfect and the audience was a wonderful mix of people both old and young. He had the quality you spoke of even back then .... he was "able to step back and display genuine affection -- for the music, for [the] audience and for" himself.

To this day it remains one of the best shows I've ever seen. I do wish I could have seen Saturday's show. Thanks for the report :)

That had to be one of the most hurtful comments, afveteran. "And, a few other misguided souls" yet you felt NO NEED to mention anyone but ME. What makes you so bitter and crude? Better still, point out ANYTHING I wrote that was incorrect. But you better back it up with NON-right wing sources.

Fine. You need a break from me? Enjoy the Futures and Nances (or whatever the little meme calls himself) and POWERPLAYS (LMAO) and all the other right wing wackos.

You apparently now have a new one ... "just an average joe". At least he can spell (though his punctuation leaves a bit to be desired).

And you can all turn this into the new FreeRepublic.

So afveteran is now the thread (logic?) police. Tell us what is "non-logical" about what I wrote.

And "just an average joe" comes out of his hidey-hole to ..... well, what exactly is your contribution here, "joe"?

I'm an independent. Have been since I first registered to vote. I've voted almost ALL parties over the years based on issues. The past few years, however, have forced me very VERY far away from virtually all republican candidates due to their extreme stances on issues .... especially those hot-button non-issues (e.g., flag-burning) that the little memes seem to depend on so desperately for their very existence.

And now you can regale us with YOUR intellectual contribution to this thread, "joe". I can't wait.

We're all waiting for that citation, rusty.

Still waiting ..........

How many times on how many different threads are you going to post your drivel, rusty?

rusty, get back to us when you have something intelligent to say.

BTW, you'd lose that farm (not that it would be worth much of anything after eight years of catering to big business, mind you).

First off, Jim, I'm not a Democrat. I've posted that innumerable times on these boards. But it's not what you want to hear so you ignore it as you ignore the rest of reality. You ignore the Hart-Rudmann Report that Bush was HANDED the day he took office. You ignore all the warnings (not least of which was from MOSSAD) that the noise was on a very serious uptick. You ignore then-AG John Ashcroft ceasing to fly commercial in July 2001 because of **serious warnings**. You ignore that the main security concern of the G7 or G8 meeting in Genoa, Italy in March of 2001 was ***terrorists flying planes into buildings***.

You ignore ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING that doesn't fall in lockstep with your belief system.

"But Obama does not believe in the prevent of a crime just the conviction after the crime is committed. No EITs for these guys."

One can substitute ANY neocon name for Obama and that statement would actually be true.

Conservative crackheads indeed ..... LMAO. I'll have to remember that one.

LOL. You should try being a fan of any back East major sports team and dealing with "coverage" here.

At least you're in the same time zone.

Years ago back in NYC the NY Mets used to be seen on regular, free TV (WWOR channel 9). Then SportsChannel came along and the only time anyone could see a Mets game on free TV was if they were on the road. Not long after, WWOR stopped carrying Mets' games and the only way you could see it was on pay TV.

But they weren't the first to do this. The NY Rangers were also on WWOR for a while and then along came MSG. I remember "watching" Rangers' games on the radio listening to Marv Albert in the days before I got my season tickets.

I moved out here in 2000 and that (oddly) coincided with my dislike for all things professional sports. I'd rather spend a few bucks and go see the 51s or the Wranglers. A lot more fun and these guys play from their hearts.

Oh the caliber isn't up to major league "par", but neither are the egos and attitudes.

The more I read this the angrier I get because we spent eight long years (and still going, mind you) of the right wing blaming Clinton for EVERYTHING.

In addition, re the "natural or man-made disasters" comment, how did that response to Hurrican Katrina work out, Al? Surely you remember, "Heckuva job, Brownie". And wasn't it GWB who STOOD ON THE RUBBLE OF THE WTC for a [expletive deleted] PHOTO OP???

HE STOOD ON THE RUBBLE OF CLOSE TO 3000 DEAD PEOPLE FOR A PHOTO OP, AL. I suppose that was OK with you, eh?

Take your feigned outrage and ..... well, you know what to do with it.

IIRC (and I do), Thomas had some incident with a Coke can ..... but apparently POWERPLAY doesn't consider that "wack[sic] job" material.

You ARE a cartoon chararcter, aren't you POWERPLAY?
