I like U2 - good band, and I miss Ireland dearly. Amazing how such small country has had such a significant impact on Western culture. And doesn't dear Ronnie make Ireland his home?
...But I looooooooooooove the Stones baby! And I am quite hopeful regarding this new release, new tour, new attitude. I hear the boys are just a bit more thankful for what they have, given recent health scares and such. This next outing might be the most sincere offering we have had from them for some time.
And if you haven't ever seen U2, I suggest you do - they put on an excellent show. And if you have never seen them play Dublin, well, it's akin to Bruce in Jersey. I've done both a number of times over the years, and it's great stuff - unforgetable really.
On a sidenote dear JB, if in fact you reside in Florida and practice law, I am thinking of purchasing property in South Florida as I have enjoyed many a great time there over the years, both naughty and nice - any recommendations? --And what firm are you with? My uncle practiced law in Florida for nearly 20 years before moving last year back to Carmel to retire. I would be curious if he knows of it.
I have my own practice for the past 9 yrs. As you know, the real-estate market in general, and particularly, in South Florida has reached the point where a million dollar home/condo is quite average. When, and if, this market will burst in anybody's guess. Miami, in particular, continues to build, but it is unique, in that well-heeled South Americans and Europeans are still buying up properties.
Speculators are buying further and further into Northern Florida as the last of the great deals are slowly evaporating.
GAZZA-I will buy you a $9.50 drink in New York to help with the costs!!!

So is good posting. jb has wandered onto those dirt roads that no one knows exactly where the go. You can only hope he gets eaten by migrant workers.
My lawyers has instructed me only reply to posts about Josh made by others, not to jb directly. We are trying to avoid an ugly lawsuit. Seems his tailfeathers were bruised by a few swift kicks in the ass, and now he wants revenge.
There's also a non profit group called Do Not Greeter. We will be at Stones shows protecting fans from his negative bullshit! |

Exactly MM.....wandering from the various boards can produce divergent paths that we may chose to follow or reject.

seen them there on Zooropa tour in 1993 (the show that was broadcast on the radio the same night)
Jagger was sitting in the same stand as I was. He apparently enjoyed it too.
Springsteen with the E-Street Band in NJ is the one "must do" show I still have to do. |

Jagger always checks out the competition ....pure, calculated, and stone cold. |

you U2 haters always call Bono a twat. whatever.
All i know is I got U2 floor tickets (GA, no less) for 49 bucks. And the show was great. Think i'm gonna pay 300+ for some lousy seat on the floor for a band that brings the goods maybe every 2nd or 3rd show?
from a music fan's perspective - really - who is the twat? mick or bono? |

O.K.-so you enjoy U2 more. |

I still always enjoy the Stones more simply because their music is better and means more to me on a personal level.
U2 are a band to me that I happen to like, and some of whose music strikes a chord in me - the Stones are a way of life that I happen to feel very passionately about, whether its positive or negative.
One thing that did strike me the other night in Glasgow, however was the difference between the two audiences. A 50,000 crowd and EVERYONE was up for the whole show, singing along to EVERY song and familiar with the new songs, which made up about a third of the show.
None of this disrespectful mass exodus to the toilet that you get at the same couple of songs at a Stones gig, no mass disinterest in the newer material and no old farts sitting with their hands under their ass behind you telling you to sit down because THEY paid a sum equivalent to the Gross National Product of an African country for their ticket and they take objection to YOU standing up and trying to get into every bloody song and not just the three or four that THEY happen to recognize. |

The Eagles sicken me, as do their fans. Even as the kinder, gentler person that I now am, I feel no remorse in characterizing Eagles fans as retards barely fit to breathe the same air as I breathe. They sicken me. |

Gazza, that's what drives me nuts about stadium shows, out of the 65,000,about 50,000(or more) could care less about the new songs, nothing but the "Licks" set list...If they played all of Some Girls and the entire new song list and a few diamonds in the dust I would be over joyed... |

I bet U2 in Glasgow was very cool. Of all my travels, have never been there - close, but not there, and I really should as my people are Ulster-Irish, so very close to our Scottish brothers and sisters.
How does it rank with Dublin? Dublin is among the greatest cities per square foot of any in the world. Great pubs - the best I've seen, and I've seen many- from all angles!
Gazza, your words regarding U2 and the Stones were spot-on. U2 is a very good band, and has been for 20 years now. The Stones are, at their best, a GREAT band, though as some have said, they are not always at their best, though at their age, is that possible? And I would have to say, when they are at their best these days, it has more to do with Mick's sheer will-power than anything else - he flat out carries this band these days. I love Keith, but he is either too lazy, too tired, too out of it, or a combination of all those things, to deliver the goods at the level we wish he would. With Keith we get flashes - then it's back to him coasting on his rep. Charlie is reliable as ever, Ronnie this past tour seemed far more reliable than Keith night in and night out, though Keith at 70% can still outshine Mr. Wood by sheer force of personality, which Keith has in spades.
Anyway, I'm rambling again - just wanted to comment on your words regarding U2 and The Stones. In my brief time on this board, you already appear to be quite intelligent regarding not only The Stones, but music in general.
Well done! |

sad, but true gazza...........
i'm offended when people go get a beer during kieth's set, but then again, peerqueer is correct - keith is part of the problem.......he's happy enough just to play, but the creative output has been stalled for years - and the stones have lost that sense of relevance to fans.

JB, Humiliation is admitting to actually speaking to the mother of all frauds-Dan Marino.
Come to Fenway!!

fraud you say?
he never had shit to play with other than duper, clayton and mcduffie 3 recievers...never a running game or a defense to match the offense!
well your lucky run is over wiess is gone and pretty boy brady will follow his rings with a shit season.
and as much as our season sucked last year showing the world on monday nite football that brady sucks and beating the pats was worth it. tom brady meet jason taylor.
oh and it took a frikkin' rule change for for manning to break his record after 20 years (along with feasting on weak opponents all year-check his record and games he had more then 3 td's- detriot-chiefs, etc) , which i might add marino shattered the previous record held by tarkenton by 20 plus td's. if marino played indoors he would have had 60 td's. marino's record was done outdoors against the elements and stronger opponents.
to add one more thing the patsies lucky run was started by a bs call as oakland beat the patsies! tuck rule my ass.
marino is fine on cbs its horsemouth shannon sharp that has to go (as for picking the steelers they played bad as big ben came down to earth) and dan is very good on hbo infl "the show the pros watch".

I am hopeful that Keith too will be much more motivated this time out. I want to believe he still has some fire left in him, and combined with Jagger's always-burning desire to be relevent, it might just prove to be, as I said earlier, their most sincere effort in many years. With his oft-stated fondness for Charlie, the health scare of the past year should motivate Keith- though will and should are often very different things.
I remember watching an HBO replay of the MSG show last tour - (I was there in person as well)when Keith gets pissed about the sound mix. Good God did he look fierce! THAT's the Keith I want - proud, angry, dangerous, and when it all comes together, flat out brilliant - when combined with Jagger, hands down the best 1-2 punch in rock history. (MSG was a pretty good show overall by the way.)
C'mon Keith - give us the goods you old bastard! Show these punk kids who still is the man! Please-please-please |

I was trying to be diplomatic. But yes, they repulse me too. The very existence of the Eagles and their fans repulses me. I despise them like a crawling verminal sickness. |

Keith has never fully recovered from the Taylor exodus...He was still excellent from 75-78....but once he knew he had no one to burn his as, he became a slacker....You know dam well why Mick permits all those jack-asses on stage..to over for his inept guitar players......there is no way Jagger would allow it, let alone Keith, if those two wankers(Keith and Ronnie) could even match 1/2 of their abilities........ |

culturally and in many ways, the Scots and Irish have a lot of similarities (maybe more so with Northern Irish - like me - as most of our ancestry is Scottish)
what part of Ulster are your family from? |
