what system musicians prefer? Do they care?
Can you expound on the Hammond reference, texas-jerry?  Does that have anything to do with a DM you once sent me back in the days you were @jerryg123 ?  Which is one that was evidently so off color that the mods deleted it shortly after I posted t...

but the way things are going now, at least I got to live a good, normal American life.  My sentiments exactly.  At least I got to live the best days of my life when things here were not perfect, but all in all, still pretty good in comparison.

Yes Carl I bet you played a lot of Texas blues.

You were closer than I was, @nonoise .  I didn’t graduate HS until ’77 and by that time I actually had a pretty good part time job (36 hours a week for a high school kid!), and after I did graduate they gave me a raise (five and change an hour!) a...

I just took a look, @nonoise , and it appears I can rent Warfare for 5.99.  I have got Elephant at the top of my "pay for list", but I will put Warfare as #2.  (You may be interested in Elephant yourself; the trailer makes me think that it is base...

yes what I like about him is his range, that you wouldn’t assume from his smug charm, from Something About Mary to Singles.  @gano , Something About Mary is a great example in my opinion.  It did not affect me in any profound way, it had no dee...

I think that it might depend a lot upon what level the musician is on when it comes to making music.  For example, I can see where a true working musician who is spending a lot of her or his time in the studio and touring might not have the amount...

And that's why I can't engage with civilians when they try to talk about music. Please lay some wisdom on us, o wise one.

@gano , back in the '90s I kind of remember reading an interview with Buck Owens in Stereophile, and he had said that he listened to a very basic rack system.

@chicagoblue1977 , any affiliation with @texasblues1959 (aka texas-jerry)?

He can play the scumbag and the nice guy in one person like very few.  I agree with you that he completely nailed that in Crash, @gano .  He always comes off to me as real--often as someone who I think it would be fun to know.  Or maybe it is t...

I know this is a touchy subject so I'll let this be the last I say on it. @nonoise , @gano , and you have been discussing it and sharing your disagreements in a civil manner.

I found Matt Dillon to be quite believable in his portrayal of a police officer.

@gano , momentarily back to Matt Dillon, did you enjoy Crash (2004)?  That movie turned into another one of my Matt Dillon favorites. I thought that the casting was quite good, which included Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock, Tony Danza, Jennifer Espos...

For its time: 'The Big Chill'.  I remember thinking that it had a good soundtrack.
