from old iMac to a new one? Will that work?
I just don’t feel like having to go to Best Buy to get a new cable or storage device.
Any advice appeciated.

No I am not mistaken Professor she says the reason for the wheelchair is she cannot stand and move around and sing with her arm in a sling without a good deal of pain.

Well, rough. Difficult to belt out rock and roll from a wheelchair.

This hurts me. I have always loved Heart and have seen them a number of times, most recently on their 2019 tour with Joan Jett both in Nashville and Memphis.
I saw they were back on tour this year but I thought about it awhile and decided that I would just remember them the way they were the last time I saw them.
Turns out their tour was supposed to start last year but it was delayed when Ann had cancer surgery. She says she is cancer free now but then just before the delayed start of this tour she fell and broke her humerus. The show must go on, she went on tour at age 75 singing from a wheelchair on stage.
I ran across some pictures but I ain’t posting them, I wish I could unsee them.
I really hate that it has come to this for one of the great voices in rock and roll.
All the best wished to Ann. I wish they had hung it up.

Many times over now.
The very first time was at the big lawn in front of the LSU Systems building before it got partially paved over for parking spaces. This would have been ‘84-‘85-ish or so.
We were watching a group of Sigma Nus playing touch football when one of the guys went down. Several guys gathered around him and it quickly started to look frantic and serious. One of our guys who had military and first aid experience ran out there to try to help. They did CPR best they could until an ambulance got there; seemed like it took forever.
The kid was dead when they hauled him off. He was a Sigma Nu pledge. Eighteen years old. Dropped dead playing touch football.
Screwed up deal.

Vouchers? frick no.
The ones using them up are the ones you sent your kid to private school to get away from.
frick that shite.

You know, among those who bear a share of the responsibility for this are all the adults in the guy's life - coaches, school administrators, teachers, boosters, fans, media, yes probably parents and relatives - who ever turned a blind eye and let him skate and dodge the consequences of his actions. All because he could run fast and catch a football.
This is fricked up.
Yes this is an extreme case but they sure as hell never did him any favors.

You'd need a staff of probably a dozen people to keep the place up. Plus security.

Bought a Tundra from them a year ago. Easy no-stress transaction. Vehicle is good. I got no complaints.

re: What is The Worst Job You've Ever Had?
Posted by GasMan on 4/9/25 at 12:57 pm
fricking Jiffy Lube. I was there because I was in college and had no other skills at the time to get something better. Constant threats and pressure to upsell, especially with the women customers. Hot and oily in the summer and freezing and oily in the winter, went home stinking every night.
Most of my fellow employees were on probation, had been kicked out of the military, or were just plain shiftless lowlifes. They didn't give a shite about their shitty shoddy work and thought the damage they caused was funny.
Customers would come in and get their oil changed, then come back 2 or 3 days later blaming us for their ac going out, or brakes starting to squeal, or cracked windshield, or whatever.
I never understood how people kept going back to them.
It was a fricking misery.

Man you seem really bitter. Did Henley bang your grandmother back in the day and not call her?
I’m glad I didn’t let you deter me. Approximately 0 of the sold-out crowd at Sphere this past Saturday would agree with you it seems. The place was packed and it was electric.
Your post made me do some searching. I found sources saying the whole show is a lip-sync, none of it is, or somewhere in between.
If they are, it is damn hard to tell. Obviously Joe Walsh is not faking it. I’ll grant you, he has certainly seen better days. He does have a hard time singing, especially Life’s Been Good, but the crowd still loves him anyway.
Don Henley’s voice was just a little bit ragged at times, I don’t think he was faking. When he sang “Desperado” towards the end of the set he sure as hell wasn’t faking it, a couple of women around me were weeping, it was very moving.
Timothy B.Schmit’s voice has thinned out over the years and the band backs him up more on “I Can’t Tell You Why” than they used to.
Vince Gill, I do not believe he would go up there and lip sych any song.
I will grant you, I thought some of the Sphere screen content could have been a little bit more creative. But most of it was awesome.
My daughters. 19 and 23, were with me and they both enjoyed the show even more than in Birmningham several years ago. Now, they were by far the youngest people I saw there. Some of the people in front of us turned around and saw them sitting with me and my wife, and congratulated them on being there at such a young age to “see history.” I laughed because I had told them the same thing. They are definitely ready to go back to the Sphere any time.
Don’t let this guy deter you from going. One of the greatest bands ever, winding it down at one of the most awesome concert venues on the planet, do not miss it if you can help it. They have just added dates through October and November. shite I may go back.
