re: Boston. One of the all time great albums

Perhaps the best rock album ever and certainly the most consequential...it changed Rock and Roll.

"I see my Marianne walking away" is an iconic lyric and no one in Rock surpasses Delp's vocals and range. I rate him #1 and Steve Perry #2.

We use to talk to Delp in the Mall of New Hampshire (2× for me, but many more for some friends) and he was approachable, unassuming and generous with his time.

My favorite song is probably Peace of Mind, with More Than a Feeling a strong #2. The live performance video of More Than a Feeling is phenomenal and really showcases Delp's tremendous ability, although he just wants to blend in with his mates.

She has a institutionalized brother with mental disabilities, named Denny. She's very sensitive.

I enjoy it more now, especially after being there about 15 years ago.

I had a similar view, but now I realize how mismanaged her talent was at LSU. The team was dysfunctional that year. Now she's got an Olympic medal, she's the Big 12 Player of the Year (one of many major collegiate accolades), she's about to go pro and start cashing-in big time, setting up her family for generations. She's smart, got the good looks, etc. We'll be seeing much more of her.

re: Is Kid Rock the biggest sell out of all?

Get a coke, mix in a water, byob, or order the hard stuff. Kid Rock has not hing to do with what you dump into your liver and kidneys, nor does he care. How was the music?

re: Bachelor Party Planning - Vegas or Cabo?

Posted by LSUandAU on 1/23/25 at 1:02 am

With this choice...Vegas! So much to do. A night on Fremont street is always great. Have the groom ride the rides on the stratosphere. Catch blue man group and/or Cirque-de-Sole.

re: When do you feel it is worth it to pay for an upgrade on a flight?

Posted by LSUandAU on 1/23/25 at 12:55 am

I'm 6'3" and the extra leg room, which is 4"-5", is well worth the cost on a long flight. Also 2 seats in both side rows instead of 3. Much more room to stretch out and move your legs, to adjust your butt and move into different positions for snoozing/resting, to not get your knees hit when seat in front of you comes back, to get up/down and in/out, etc. Also, closer to front of plane for fast egress when exiting, whether at the destination airport, on fire in a cornfield or in water.

re: Do You Have Favorite Lyrics?

Posted by LSUandAU on 1/22/25 at 11:57 pm

"I see my Maryanne walking away."

"She's got a heart of gold, she'd never let me down
But you're the one that always turns me on, you keep me comin' 'round."

"Birth control, Ho Chi Minh, Richard Nixon back again. Moonshot, Woodstock, Watergate, punk rock. Begin, Reagan, Palestine, terror on the airline. Ayatollah's in Iran, Russians in Afghanistan.

Wheel of Fortune, Sally Ride, heavy metal, suicide. Foreign debts, homeless vets, AIDS, crack, Bernie Goetz. Hypodermics on the shores, China's under martial law. Rock and roller cola wars, I can't take it anymore."
