It is just a weird and disrurbing event... I'm very curious as to what went down, it makes no sense a tiger got out on its own... |

I know these tigers, We're zoo members. I remember when the young ones were born. This one was only 4 years old. If this Tiger jumped out, this is some kind of tiger world record. I don't even think there was enough room to get up a good running speed, and the jump would've been huge, not to mention, the tiger would've wanted to do this, and I've never heard of that happening before. |

"Spokeswoman Lora LaMarca added that zoo officials could not comment on how the Siberian tiger managed to get out of its habitat -- a grotto surrounded by a moat and high wall -- and attack the three visitors at around closing time on Tuesday."
I think that's PR person talk for "uh-oh...someone on our staff left the cage door open"

Given the Davies' bros recent output, I can tell that a new tour and new material would go over great. |

Pop wishes you and your family a great new year. Robo thinks this will be a great year. Robo had to take Robo's grandmother to church on Christmas eve. Robo had two bowls of sauerkraut soup (a traditional dish in Pop's family on Christmas eve)....well it kicked in during the serive. I had to make an early exit. Then Robo thought about the no Merry Christmas in Baghdad song, and then robpop realized things could be a lot worse.

Well, to me, all this "other groups besides the Rolling
Stones" bashing just shows a distinct level of immaturity
that we deal with in life {and here on this board}. And a
very narrow idea of what rock and roll is. It doesn't
really make me mad, but it does profusely confuse me. As I
said before in another post here {somewhere!}...imagine if
the early Stones had limited themselves to only ONE artist
to admire/emulate/be influenced by. They would have thought
that was a crazy idea, if someone had suggested it {or
implied that they couldn't REALLY be a fan if they chose
to listen to and like another artist's work besides the
one artist they had chosen to pattern themselves after}....
It's just a rather sad, one dimensional way to live and
enjoy music. There are a LOT of great bands/artists out
there, if you just keep an eye and 2 ears open... |

I kinda get the feeling they just like being near the cool kids too... Even though we scare them, drink their booze, do all the drugs and then try to have sex with everyone!!!

Indeed. The way i see it: as a rock'n'roll fan, I'm inevitably a Rolling Stones fan, because the Rolling Stones are the top rock n roll band. In fact, I always figured the reverse would be true as well but sadly it isn't. I used to take Stones fandom as some sort of litmus test that people really have their hearts in rock n roll. Because to me it would seem that it takes an understanding of what rock n roll is all about to understand why the Stones rule the roost. That, to me, is the beauty of the Stones fan. You can just as easily compare notes on Howlin Wolf, Chuck Berry, George Clinton, James Brown, Fats Domino, The Kinks, The Small Faces, The Sonics, The MC5, Led Zeppelin, The Allman Brothers, The Ramones, and everything else since then (this is where I date myself) of fucking taste and quality cos Stones fans would get that it's part of the continuum. Has Keith Richards taught us nothing? Have you not read the liner notes and writing credits and interviews and followed the clues and connected the dots. It's all there. To be a Stones fan IS to be a rock n roll fan. Anything less is ignorant or worse, consciously superficial and status-conscious- which is about as un-rock n roll as it gets.
so kids, to recap:
this is rock n roll:
this is not rock n roll
this is rock n roll:
this is not rock n roll:
this is rock n roll:
this may seem edgy you say but is, in fact, not rock n roll:

I love The Kinks, Jagger said in a Rollin' Stone Interview, that it was just the Stones & Ray Davies writing songs about social concerns at the time, I would also say Townshend too, but Ray Davies is a great songwriter, those people who knock them (Kinks) probably weren't even born in the 60's, The Kinks are one of the great bands in the English invasion, "All Day & All of the Night" is one of the great riffs in Rock 'N' Roll, that was really advanced at the time, then later on, Dedicated Follower of Fashion, Well Respected Man, Sunny Afternoon, Waterloo Sunset, Autumn Almanac, I could go on & on.
I saw the Kinks in 1971, Ray Davies was drunk as a skunk, Mick Avory too, Ray got everyone to sing, you are my sunshine, Avory was passed out on the drums, & someone grabbed his hair & lifted him up sitting on the drum stool, but they were great, still put on quite a show. |

I got to see The Kinks in Cincy sometime around 1977-78-79. I cannot recall the year, but I remember being thrilled to see them. I can't remember the show that well, hey it was a loooooong long time ago amigos. Then Ray came to Denver and played the Paramount Theater last August. We got tickets at the door the night of the gig (dead center row 15). He put on a STUNNING rock and roll show. I was enthralled and am now a devotee.
Earlier that afternoon as I was out cleaning the fence line of weeds to appease the Weed Cops who had left a warning notice on our door, I had a sudden premonition which stopped me from what I was doing. I got a msg., from where ever this comes from (this is similar to what happened that got me to NYC for the Stones Summit of my life) that I was going to MEET Ray that night. So....I stopped what I was doing and went inside to put his newest CD and a sharpie in my bag (where I keep my binoculars) to take along to the gig that night.
The premonition came to pass. Ray came out the back of the Paramount about 20 minutes or so after his gig and signed for a few fans. I touched (very gently) his arm as he stood beside me. Only 1,000 or so came to the show and that place holds maybe 2,000.
We are not very educated when it comes to rock n roll music...no one knows who he is! What a shame. He's truly a gem of our time. Keep rockin' Ray!

I kind of like the Kinks, but admittedly am not a huge fan. Didn't even realize that recent tours weren't the original lineup. Just ignorantly assumed it was the same four guys all along.
One of the more surreal shows I've seen in my life was the aforementioned Kinks, in a small club in Charlotte NC in the mid 1990s. Mind you, they weren't playing the club gig as a special treat - it was all they could fill at the time! It was kind of cool but also kind of sad, b/c none of the tards in that crowd knew any morew than their 5 top songs (and I only knew 10 or so).
Anyway, I'm tempted to revisit this band's archives and see what's up. |
