Face Book - What Have They Done!!

Let me say this RIGHT NOW - I am an unwilling participant in Face Book and if you think you are going to get me into my underwear to have a "pillow fight" you have another thing coming. Good Grief. SOMEONE who shall remain nameless signed me up and all of a sudden I have 60 emails with new BUDDIES!!! WELL - ain't that a fun little virtual ticklefest!!

Here I am watching manly TV shows about truckstops and I log on and see SOMEBODY (who will remain nameless) has thrown a "pillow" at me! Oh man!!
==========================
Music - March 4th 1973 I attended a concert at the Dane County Memorial Coliseum. I Was in the front row of a festival seating event. At that time you would put down a blanket on the floor and that was your space. No one would walk on it, it was your territory to do with what you wanted. We had a bong and I remember my parents were in the seats somewhere behind us.

The event? The very first American showing of Dark Side Of The Moon. Pink Floyd had done eight shows of Dark Side in Paris before coming to the States. The album would be released March 17th two weeks later. I can honestly say I was one of the first humans to ever hear Dark Side Of The Moon. What many consider greatest and most influential albums of all time.

I saw Pink Floyd five times. I believe the Division Bell show in Madison was the first time a yellow laser was ever used in the States. It was a driving rain storm which made the laser look amazing.

I remember the Animals concert in Milwaukee and when a gi-normous floating pig blew up the cops came running into Miller park with guns drawn. I remember that same concert when Dark Side was being played and there was a heat lightning storm at the same time. WOW!

The reason I bring this up was last Tuesday a band called Australian Pink Floyd was in Madison. I had the opportunity to see them the last time they were here and from a guy that has seen Floyd 5 times - that are GREAT!! They are an almost exact copy of the original.

If you have never seen Pink Floyd and have the chance to see these guys - fork out the bills and you will not be disappointed.

The photos are from Aussie Pink Floyd.

One last thing concerning music. There was a song on the satellite radio this morning by Dido. I love the song so I looked up Dido to see who she was . Her REAL name is Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle O'Malley Armstrong. I bet that was a tough learning curve for spelling her name!!
=======================

You do realize in 17 days we will be in the first week of December and the Trailer Watch officially starts. According to an anonymous who I trust and has no inside information but knows how things work the first week seems to be the time when MM's trailers coming out. At least in the past!

==================================
Movies - "Quantum of Solace" has open field running this weekend as not one other movie wants to open against it. It's all alone when it comes to new movies this weekend.

I love Daniel Craig as the new Bond. The other Bonds were so foo foo. "Casino Royale" opened with 40 million on it's way to $167M in the states.
==================================

Has anybody seen "Saints and Solders"? I got it in Netflix and now I can see I can watch if for free on Hulu. Of course it won't be in 7.1 surround sound or on a 47 inch computer screen! LOL

And speaking of free things

Free Conference Calls dot com it seems you can do conference calls for free using your cell phones?? If you have a bunch of people that need to talk. Sign up and tell the site what time the conference will be. They will give you a phone number to call at that time. Tell others to call THAT number at the specified time and bingo! You can all talk at the same time . . . . just like at the Kurth OR on The View!!!

Have a Thursday
Rod

  5. A BUILDING just added me as a "friend".

  6. I like how he puts that on the last line!

    It's good to 'see' things through new eyes sometimes. It was so strange to hear thigns referred to by someone who obviously didn't follow the shooting, etc...

    I wonder if MM does this to solicit such critique? If so, brlliant! It's a tough thing to open your self to constructive criticism while your 'baby' is still in process...

    I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to wait for JULY!!!
