re: when did you become a fan?
Posted by Uatu on 9/24/26 at 8:00 pm to cadillacattack
First time I saw Roger Staubach play. I was a Tennessee A&I (now State) fan before because my uncle played there.

We need some jazz vocals in here (and also an excuse to drop Lionel Hampton in as well):
Big fan of Daryl’s House. I think Robert Fripp has been the only guest that has willfully ignored the House rule (originals only), but…Fripp DID play on Bowie’s original! So, let’s just say that the House rule stands!
4 pages. Not one mention of Carcass.
Also, The Busboys, Alabama Thunderpussy, and my favorite from my youth: FUAD (Face Up arse Down).
Best rap group name: Geto Boys

Great music but Gordy can burn in hell for all I care. How the Motown musicians were treated was a travesty.
The only artist that wasn’t screwed over was was Diana Ross…because she was screwing Gordy, literally.

That's another Crump case
As a senior citizen black man, I despise Crump at an unhealthy level.
This is an open forum, and I must admit some of the shots taken at Nancy are amusing. But her actual service to her constituents is second to none. Yes, she’s my congresswoman. And I will always be grateful to her for expediting my wife’s Social Security when we were in a real bind during her terminal illness. I do hope she can find a purpose when she leaves Congress.

Tennessee vs Georgia Tech only getting 1.8 million is a pathetic number... I don't care what it's up against. Tennessee doesn't have near the following that it's fans think it does.
The only time viewers give a runny bowel movement about Navy is when we play Army. We know our place in the college football world. Now…the only time viewers give a runny bowel movement about Auburn is when the Tigers play Alabama and SOMETIMES Georgia. Glass houses and all of that! Just sayin’. Tennessee vs GaTech will never have the same cachet as Tennessee vs Alabama or even Tennessee vs Auburn.
So, LSU has replaced Alabama as Tennessee’s most wanted? Doubtful. It was personal with Fulmer and Bama. Not so much with this situation with LSU. I don’t even know this lady’s name and I haven’t heard a peep from Danny White or even Heupel.
Settle it on the field.

A few years back when FSU-UF were both good, some Gator fan referred to Doak-Campbell as Joke Shamble. Tonight, it REALLY is Joke Shamble!
re: Iran retaliates against USA by firing on Kuwait

Iran is not run by rational people. Robert E Lee didn’t want the suffering to continue so he surrendered but could have held out for years with guerilla warfare. He was rationale and cared about his people. God Bless Robert E Lee.
Now, substitute Japan for Iran and Hirohito for Lee, and you will see the state Japan was in after Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There were diehards in their military who were ready to sacrifice their people until the last man, woman, and child. Iran doesn’t have a Emperor Hirohito though, just a phantom Supreme Leader who no Iranian has seen.

Of course! I AM the Watcher after all. Earth (especially America)is much more interesting than the dark side of the Moon.
re: Foreperson in the Clancy trial sent a note asking for 1 juror removed
Posted by Uatu on 9/4/26 at 10:03 am to YumYum Sauce
I did jury duty on a murder trial in 2025. Open and shut case. The defense attorney did an outstanding job, but NOTHING trumps DNA evidence. Our “deliberations” consisted of wondering why this wasn’t a death penalty case in the first place. Took us 45 minutes to return a guilty verdict and we could have done it in 4.5 minutes. Nice thing about it is that I don’t have to worry about jury duty ever again since I’m over 65 years old.
Me as well. Loved her version of Strange Fruit, but I will always associate Lady Day with that particular song. Sad that every passing makes me more aware of my own mortality!

I remember these two from the Guinness book of world records.
The McGuire twins. I remember watching them wrestle the Mighty Yankees back in the 70’s. They were riding their motorbikes in the parking lot before the matches started. Even took time to chat with a young Uatu!

Our grandchildren will be hearing these same sad excuses decades from now
All I can do at this point is to set an example for my 7 grandchildren. I take comfort in the fact that my 3 oldest do ask their Papa for advice on various situations that they encounter. My youngest is only 10 months old so I have the rest of my life to guide him on the right path!

I hope this doesnt come across the wrong way, but I have much respect for your post. We all have imperfections and flaws, and honestly assessing that kind of thing is the best way to deal with it. PS - Trust me. We're well aware of the drama that the "Karen's" bring to the table.
Appreciate that. I’m just frustrated with my people at this point in my life. All my grandparents and parents wanted was fair and equal treatment. They went through hell on Earth to change the system. They gave opportunity on a platter to today’s folks. Some of us did take advantage (I did!), but too many took the easy way out and kept bleating the tired old tropes about racism and any other excuse to blame someone else for their lack of success. Black fatigue is absolutely true and I don’t blame other folks at all because I have it too!
65, and HELL YES! Do I actually need it? No, but I have 7 grandkids, and a birthday is always coming up. It’s nice to get them something that they actually want.
I’m going to say it. I’m 65 years old. I was born and raised during the final days of segregation. My people have dropped the ball. We celebrate failure and piss on success, unless the criminal justice system is involved in some way. OR, said success is in entertainment or sports.
You want to know what I absolutely dread when I dine out? Black women. 7% of the customer base, and 70% of the drama (no worries, white folks, YOUR women account for the rest of the drama). I never worked in F&B, but I know a lot of people who have. Worst tippers? My people. Second worst? Women in general. I can post a novella on this issue, but I will stop here.

Going to switch to jazz for this one. The Ramsey Lewis Quartet doing a completely different take on Sun Goddess . No horns, Ramsey doesn’t do a solo, and Henry Johnson shows us mere mortals how it’s done on jazz guitar. His full solo begins at 1:58 and it’s Henry’s track from that point forward:
Most of my rock faves have been mentioned. So, let’s delve into Funk, Funkadelic to be specific. Maggot Brain : A 11+ minute trip into the cosmos, piloted by Eddie Hazel! You can skip to the 1:15 mark if you don’t want to hear the intro
