| Band/artist documentaries. Be Here to Love Me and Heartworn Highways-Townes Van Zandt documentaries Absolutely! | |
| Band/artist documentaries. In my old age I am no longer a super big fan of The Eagles, but I really did enjoy the 2 part doc film about them, The History Of The Eagles. I watched the Chicago documentary. The amount of cocaine they consumed is astounding. I am not a hug... | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? If you really wanna enjoy music, take the time to learn how to play an instrument and play in a live band because then you’ll REALLY appreciate music at a deeper level. I wonder if @chrisoshea is also a musician? | |
| Favorite Tribute Albums? How often does a cover truly equal an original performance, let alone surpass it? Not that often, to my ears. Emmy Lou Harris is pretty consistently satisfying in this regard but I can’t think of anyone else, off-hand. @stuartk , Linda Ronsta... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. The Holdovers was pretty good. | |
| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? Buy 10 or 12 of them. Just one will suffice, @jerryg123 . | |
| Movie/film suggestions. I remember watching Out Of The Furnace, @nonoise . If you enjoy movies with a theme of despair, check out Animals (2014). It is not an action movie and has no big names, but if follows two heroin addicts (Jude and Bobbie) from good families who... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Townes Van Zandt/Waiting Around To Die Sometimes I don't know where this dirty road is taking me Sometimes I don't even know the reason why But I guess I'll keep a-gamblin', lots of booze and lots of ramblin' But it's easier than just a-waitin' a... | |
| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? My furniture does not tend to wear out and out right fail, @gdaddy1 , and unlike you, I can repair my 20+ year old vehicles. My AC unit only runs from June through August and in my experience they have lasted for a long time. Washing machine and... | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? Aliotta Haynes Jeremiah/Lake Shore Drive (1972) (I used to think these lyrics were magical.) There's a road I'd like to tell you about, lives in my home town Lake Shore Drive, the road is called and it'll take you up or down From rats on up to r... | |
| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? It depends on how much tech/bells and whistles you want. That is not a factor for me, @llg98ljk . Just as an add-on, Sony and LG usually test at the top of the test charts. That is helpful. I am literally half blind (probably more than ha... | |
| Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap? The price of TVs continues to fall every year as new technology comes along. Unless this is the tariff question in disguise, I would say never buy a TV until you have to. It will be cheaper next year. IMHO It is a serious question and one ... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Watched "Spotlight" for the second since it was released. Really well done. I couldn’t remember if I had seen that one or not so I did a google and yes, now I remember it. That was a pretty good movie and having Mark Ruffalo and Michael Keaton... | |
| Movie/film suggestions. Bad Education with a cast including Ray Romano, Hugh Jackman and Pam Gluckin was quite entertaining, well acted, and at times I found it to be hilarious. Apparently it is based on actual events and relates a tale regarding "waste, fraud and abus... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? Love this forum, although I am firmly against deleting messages. We should let everyone see the "warts and all" thoughts of our more poorly informed denizens. The delicate sensibilities of some are easily bruised. |
