A month’s heads-up warning is “shock and awe”?

Pueblo brings down the entire state average.

She was 15.

The violent femmes were “my band”. I swear, I would have stabbed you in the throat to steal your tickets way back in ‘89.

Jesus, I’m over 50 now. I never stabbed (or shot) anyone.

Last night, in ATX, at the moody theater (ACL), my middle daughter, me and my 15 year old son, watched the Violent Femmes play the tracks from their first two albums.

Although I bought tickets for me and all of my kids, only the middle daughter was able to make it Austin to watch with her brother.

During the intermission, my daughter convinced a dear old lady to let me and my boy on to the floor for the second set (debut album).

My boy told me that “this was the greatest night of his life.”

Obviously, this was my kids worshipping the band that I grew up obsessed with, but this is truly my Boy’s favorite band

First and greatest show of his life .

Handy, Larue and EHT, as well as

Consumption/sales tax is the way.

It’s funny, Texas has a massive surplus of $ and a top five gdp in the US, and doesn’t charge taxes on food or require me to charge/pay tax on labor or subcontract labor/work.

Texas has more concrete highways than anywhere in the US. We have the best roads and bridges, don’t we folks?

Went to HEB this evening and spent $65 on groceries. Paid $1.17 in taxes because I grabbed an $11 bottle of cab while I was shopping.

You, along with many American tax payers have been brainwashed to think that 30% +/- of your check is needed to fund Washington or defend the US.

I will tell you, promise you, bet you that not a country on this planet will ever invade these shores. Rest easy muffin, my 2A (and millions of others) guarantees it. Allow me to genuinely protect these borders and my 50yo arse will happily stand a post. That is, unless you didn’t really mean Defense and meant the MIC.

All good ones, but you forgot my boy Keith Morris.

I saw bad religion play in the early 90’s, this band Green Day opened for them. I was so impressed with them, I bought their tape from the merch table. Popped it in the deck the next day for the drive back to Louisiana. It sucked so bad. A few months later, they were all over the radio.

Honestly, I don’t know what song it is, but Led Zeppelin has one that goes from foot-tapping to full on air drums. Moby Dick maybe?

Rush is kind of “an obvious answer”, my personal favorite- Violent Femmes.

This was the first show my oldest daughter and I saw together, also the first (and only) time we got shite-faced together :lol: :cheers:

Got all of my kids hooked on them, my youngest (15yo boy) especially. We’re all going to see them next month here in Austin. They’re playing their first two albums. (Self titled, Hallowed Ground)

My boy is so pumped! I take one, one, one ‘cause you left me and two, two….

We're never going to cure cancer with backwards thinking like that.

until the government stops funding big pharma for the R&D and starts funding the “not-for-profit” research, it’ll never be cured. There’s no money to be made in cures.

It’s like HIV/AIDS- instead of finding a cure, Big Pharma found a formula for a pill that suppresses. Instead of a cure, you can buy Big Pharma’s pills for the rest of your life.
