8/28 vs Buck Naked Showalter

[Youk Of The Nation]

Haven't heard it. "Doo-op" Joel is good too IMO, For the Longest Time and Uptown Girl are fun songs. Miami 2017 rocks purely because its about NY getting torn apart and the Yankees being sold for free.

 

I don't like Uptown Girl all that much. For the Longest Time is great though.

[mvp 78]

Wow lol. Grogan was a tough SOB, guy played through a lot of injuries.

 

And you weren't even alive to witness his mediocre quaterbacking. He was so great that he needed to be replaced by Tony Eason for the team to actually make the playoffs.

[Emmz]

I'm not saying its impossible, just difficult. And with that song, people just hear the chorus. Reagan trying to use it on campaign probably didn't help. Bruce actually took to performing acoustically for a while so people might actually get the point.

 

The thing is that there's always going to be ambiguity with music. To me the lyrics are obviously dark, but it could also be a song about perseverance to someone else. You can't really say they're wrong, either. Look where Bruce Springsteen is now.

[Thunder]

I see that we are having a nice civilized discussion here.

I'm not saying he was great, just tough. I try to know the history of my teams, lest I just be some uninformed pink hat.

Amazingly, it does happen on this site on occasion.

I understand that. I have my own examples. Jeff Buckley's version of hallelujah is a favorite of mine and its a bit of a tearjerker despite the lyrics sounding remarkably like a description of banging.

[Thunder]

I'll be back for the game. I'm going to listen to the radio and GT tonight. YOTN's fave.

[Emmz]

No, worse than the Bulls. Do the Bulls have a very bangwagon oriented fanbase? The Bulls were beloved everywhere when Jordan played. I think people have always kind of hated the Pats.

 

Bangwagon fans are the worst, they should just get a room.

You somehow just ruined a song for me that I've never even heard.

[Youk Of The Nation]

If the wagon's a-rockin, please come a-knockin' because the axles are probably out of alignment and we've lost control of the horses.

Yeah, I suck at typing on my phone. It is known.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Wait, he ruined it by making it seem like a description of sex?

[BornToRun]

You know who doesn't get enough appreciation? Warren Zevon. He's got an awesome catalogue of songs.

[mvp 78]

Damn, that's rough. It's like a student offering their teacher an apple and the teacher slapping it out of the student's hand.

Tones in music do that. Slow a song down, and play the song in minor and suddenly it sounds depressing.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I hear "For The Longest Time" by Billy Joel every time I work, I can't stand it anymore. Also, for some reason Thunder reminds me of Suns.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Wait, he ruined it by making it seem like a description of sex?

Yeah, it diverts from the true meaning of it.

 

If I wanted songs about sex I'd go listen to Britney Spears or whoever the kids are listening to nowadays.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Damn, that's rough. It's like a student offering their teacher an apple and the teacher slapping it out of the student's hand.

 

I was just messing with him. Besides, he's right. Radio is the best way to catch the game outside of actually being there.

[BornToRun]

That's just uncalled for.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Whoa, hey, there's no need to be that insulting. Thunder is far and away a better poster than suns ever was.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I was just messing with him. Besides, he's right. Radio is the best way to catch the game outside of actually being there.

I find that going to the games is a pretty overrated experience.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I didn't say he was exactly like Suns. Nobody will every reach that level, I just said he reminds me of Suns. Sheesh, way to make a big thing out of nothing. I have nothing against Thunder.

[Emmz]

You know who doesn't get enough appreciation? Warren Zevon. He's got an awesome catalogue of songs.

 

Warren Zevon is great. He gets a lot of appreciation from people who listen to a lot of music.

 

He's probably one of the most respected artists of the 70s.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I find that going to the games is a pretty overrated experience.

 

I'll take you to one sometime and make sure you enjoy it. I'd hate to see anyone have this opinion forever. Which stadiums have you been to?

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Fenway a couple of times

TD Garden multiple times

Portland Sea Dogs

Minor league hockey

 

Stadium food is a plus, I love that s***, but most of the time your seats suck and you don't know what to do with yourself during breaks since you can't change channels or anything.

[Emmz]

Yeah, going to the games is definitely the best way to experience baseball.

 

I can't think of a better way to spend the afternoon than watching the Twins get their asses kicked at Target Field.

 

Not even being sarcastic.

[Thunder]

Nobody likes a suck-up.

 

The telethon gets old after 24 hours.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

It's four years later and I still haven't gotten used to the Twins not being in the Metrodome. I turn on a game where somebody's in Minnesota and see Target Field and I'm like WTF. And then I remember.
