Mega Thread The Random Thoughts Thread Part 1

Only Keith Richards and Iggy Pop are immortal.

Al Jorgenson and Ozzy do a good job.

Had a hunched over, old bloke raiding mine and everyone else's bin in the neighbourhood where I used to live. I really didn't mind as I wasn't putting them aside to cash them in myself anyway and he looked a little worse for wear.

Then one day I saw him driving a car that was newer than mine to do his collections. **** me, I thought. Never left him anything again.

Haters gotta hate!

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Al Jorgenson and Ozzy do a good job.

Al, Keith and Iggy are still coherent.

Ozzy not so...

Two good additions though.

I don't know why I always forget Al and Ministry, love them and still one of the best bands I've seen live.

The guy was a professional funeral goer so she figured it would be a good way to meet up again.

He's an innovator...

Ozzy has always been a bumbling fool.

Yes, we speak and write "British English", aka "English English"

Interestingly though, the Australian Labor Party is officially spelt in American English.

Another anomaly is the spelling of Outer Harbor.

 

[70sDinosaur]

So do I, and I live here. American culture through television shows etc. has corrupted our understanding of English. Just don't say 'aloominum' when you get here, and you should be alright

Also beware of telling people you root for Port Adelaide.

The story goes that al used to wear man nappys, when Barker had finished the albums he would send someone to find Al.

He would lay the vocals down in a few days and the disappear again.

If you never seen them live in their prime then you can never truly appreciate just how good they where.

Although most of us that did see them where pritty toasted though.

I've been reading his autobiography. It's pretty incredible some of the things he's been through. In the early 90s he used to wear that medieval helmet. Everyone thought he was nuts, or some kind of renissance enthusiast, but it was just because he kept passing out randomly and didn't want to knock himself out.

I've seen 4 great super bowl half time shows. Prince's in 2007 in the pouring rain singing Purple Rain was one of them.

What do you consider the other 3 to be?

1, 2 and 4.

Interestingly though, the Australian Labor Party is officially spelt in American English.

If memory serves - and it doesn't - it was an homage to the American Labor movement from which they took a lot of their early cues.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

It's sad Prince died on his mums 90th birthday.

 

[Eddie Dingle]

Too soon?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

1993 Michael Jackson changed the face of the half time shows. It was college marching bands and that sort of stuff before him. U2 in 2002 a few months after September 11, and The Boss and the E Street Band in 2009. All 3 performances along with Prince's didn't need other acts to support them, to fill up the big space!

 

[CrimsonRaven]

Which brings up the point, can legends stop dying and more royalty start carking it soon please.

The Port Board's Jimmy Carr

Probably no worse than any other year if you break it all down. Just guessing though. My theory is that new age hipsterism, and the baby boomer desire to keep all their favourite childhood/teen pop stars in the limelight and touring has meant we've just noticed them more because these performers have never been given the chance to slip away out of the public eye and into relative anonymity. I could be wrong but I'd be surprised if 2016 has had a marked rise in celebrity deaths than any other year.

True. Logically, I would also add that the over saturation of any type of news makes it seem like it's happening more. 20 years ago we wouldn't even hear about half of the deaths that get pumped through the social media channels.

Dat perception tho' ...

King O'Malley was born in the USA and had the spelling "modernised", or should that be "modernized"

Dwight Howard is crap, the rockets will never win anything wth him.

He can come to the Spurs when Ginóbili decides to hang up the boots, cheers.

This is a hell of a play.
