Look Chevy, here's how it is.
Coach B looked at the clock, saw there was no time left.
He shook Coughlin's hand, walked off the field.
Even Coughlin was walking off the field, before he was reminded he would not win the game until the clock was re-set, and a play took place.
Brady did not shake Manning's hand before, as they were about to do battle.
Neither of these are any big deal.
Did Ali ever shake Joe Fraser's hand before a fight?
Did Reggie Jackson ever go to shake Jim Rice's hand before a game?
Get over it already.
Oh, and do you have anymore free agents like Wes Welker the 'phins let go we can sign, as he was a really great player!

You mean, Boston, the greatest rock and roll town in the world after NYC, LA, London, Philly, Austin, Toronto, Seattle, Detroit, Memphis, and just about any major city in Oz?
Granted, Boston has spawned 2 of my faves....Pixies and Lyres...but greatest in the world? No. No fuckin' way in hell.
Typical statement from a Pats/Sox fan though. I'll give you all one thing...ya'll give the New Yawkers a run for their money when it comes to homerism.

What the hell does that have to do with the price of cat loin in China?
You make a statement like "Boston is the Greatest Rock n Roll City in the World" based on people who DON'T make Rock n Roll music?
Lame. Sheesh. |

Hey SS!
I'm certain my dinosaur lineage could muster up many great bands from Bahston over time, however, it's fair to say several of the cities you've listed have equal representation.
Not a bad comeback for a Pats/Red Sox fan, eh?
In the meantime, as I know you love a certain band from Bahston who made it big in the '70's, check out TAB, and figure out who the old man of two of the band members is....They just caught a record deal, and are touring near a city near you.....

Equally represented? So if it's equal...how does that make Boston any better than any of the other cities I mentioned?
And you might say "equally represented"...but I'd disagree with that too. See you count Aerosmith as a plus...I count it as a minus. Also, I don't know if Boston was actually from Boston...but being one of the crappiest bands ever, and taking your fair cities name....HUGE fuckin' minus there. Cancels out The Standells and Lyres.
Yeah yeah, J Giels. Never been a big fan. But I hear that they are a great live band. It doesn't translate to vinyl very well, IMO. And then you have that dumbass "Centerfold" song. That's a stain they can't erase. I mean, good on 'em, it made them wealthy men...but I hated that fuckin' song.
Here's what I think. I think that the "Greatest Rock n Roll City on the PLanet" changes constantly depending on what scenes get hot. For a while it was London, then NYC, then Seattle, then Detroit, and so on. I think it just depends on the timing.
So far in THIS century, I'd say my fave for Best Rock n Roll town is Detroit. Led by Jack and the White Stripes, there are about a zillion great bands making big time rock n roll. The kind of rock n roll that does it for me. Of course, your mileage may vary on that. You might hate The Dirtbombs or The Sights or The Soledad Brothers or The Hentchmen or The Detroit Cobras or The Deadstring Brothers or The Come Ons or Ko & The Knockouts or The Von Bondies(I don't like them much anymore, but the first couple of albums rock ass!) or any of the rest of the zillion great bands that sprang outta Detroit. Must be something in that detroit river water.
That being said, if you aren't into that particular brand of Rock n Roll...it might be a different time and place for you... |

Ok, so, one of my favorite 60's bands were/are from Boston....the Remains. So yeah, Boston can rock. |

Hey SS, couple of points...
I respect your knowledge of tuneage, however, I never said Boston was any better than the cities you've named.
That acts have originated from Boston who have become wildly popular do not have to be enjoyed by all, however, it's undeniable. I would think that two acts from Boston, Aerosmith & Boston are more popular than all of the acts from Austin collected together.
This has no regard whether you like them or not, just fact.
I only pointed to the fact that Boston has had it's equal share of popular performing artists as the cities you've noted.
I know nothing of Hibbing MN, however, I like the muscial cat from there, as well a pretty good hoop player was from there. |

Mmmmm, yes, I misread your previous post Nelly. My bad.
Aerosmith and Boston are undeniable? I'm afraid I don't understand. I deny them both, and strongly so. For one, I don't even consider their music to be Rock n Roll. As far as I can tell....it's mainstream pop. Once again, I think that perhaps my definition of "Rock n Roll" is quite different than the definition that most people use. But since I use my definition exclusively...'Smith and Boston are out. Not only that, but since they both suck like a Hoovermatic with a Chevy Big Block, those two particular "bands" actually subtract from Boston's Rock n Roll-ness. Yes, I know that that isn't fair. I would be inclined to be more fair, but they just suck so bad that unfairness to them actually IS fair. IMO.
That being said...I love your town. I have family in Woburn, and have visited often. I used to have family in Arlington, but they are all dead now. I used to spend a month of every summer visiting with them. My uncle was a big wig with Shawmut National Bank, and I loved going to Sox games with him. We got to sit in a private box, and had wait staff to bring us stuff to eat and drink. Those were back in the days of the great Yaz, Jim Rice, Fred Lynn, and Carlton Fisk. I was quite lucky to get the chance to see them play the game. No interleague play back then...just the World Series. Wonderful times...
So don't get the idea that I simply don't like where you are from, and that is biasing my opinion. I love the greater Boston area. I just don't feel that it is the "Greatest Rock and Roll City on the Planet". Boston has a very fine and storied Rock and Roll history, no question. But the greatest ever? Hardly. London, New York, and Detroit can duke it out for that title, IMO. |

Fuck it all anyway. Macon Georgia kicks the ever living shit outta every town/city mentioned in any of these posts about greatest rock and roll cities, and that's just one small Georgia town.

True that. It's funny. You get a couple of Yankees arguing about which is the greatest rock and roll city and you hear cities like Detriot, Boston, New York, Philly, etc.....Are you kidding me?!?!?! These cities wouldn't even be mentioned had it not been for the heart and soul of rock and roll. Which, of course, is in the cotton fields and juke joints of the deep South. Period. End of story. Every city north of Tennessee is subjective at best.
For every Detroit, Boston, and New York I could give you a few Muscle Shoals', Macon's, and Memphis'.
Shit even Chicago Blues got it's start in the Mississippi Delta!

I believe that if you read my first post in this thread...I do indeed mention Memphis. Just on Stax alone! Add in American, and of course, The Oblivions...and you have a major player in US Rock n Roll.
The more I think about it though, the more I think it's London. Stones, Kinks, Who, Bowie, Zep, Clash, Pistols, Oasis...and that's just the top tier bands. London was the epicenter of at least three major Rock n Roll movements, and a host of lesser movements. We may have invented Rock n Roll here in the USA, but IMO, the Brits...Londoners in particular...perfected it. |
