I was reading somewhere that these DVDs on the market are missing the original series soundtrack. Apparently, CBS decided it wasn't worth the massive headache or the astronomical licensing fees required to clear all those songs, so they just swapped everything out for generic filler music...

On another note, I'm trying to figure out which episode we actually watched today, but there's absolutely no indication provided anywhere. Any idea which one it was?

Is it even remotely normal to see this pop up in someone who's only 24? Just look at this example... 🙂

When I was 14, I wiped out on my motorcycle and ended up with a broken femur. I spent months stuck in a cast, and the recovery process was an absolute grind. Since those are the prime years for physical development, I’ve realized lately that one leg is actually shorter than the other—something a chiropractor pointed out to me a while back. It’s obvious that for years, I’ve been subconsciously compensating for the injury, and now I’m starting to feel occasional pain in my knee.
Ten years down the line, after this past ski season absolutely wrecked my knees, I’ve decided I need to deal with this once and for all. I’m honestly at a loss for where to turn. While things aren't critical right now, I’m worried about permanent misalignment issues later in life. I’ve even had people suggest that my constant compensation likely shifted my pelvis out of alignment, implying there might be a way to reset it.
Is there anyone here with actual expertise who can point me in the right direction?
Chiropractors? Orthopedic surgeons? Who should I be looking for?😉

This could actually be worth looking into. If anyone happens to have the link, please drop it here!

If you’re planning on cranking up that tension, you might as well just commit to an acoustic setup with steel strings.😉

In my experience, the ending of the book always manages to outshine the movie version...

I’m basically Jimi Hendrix here... honestly, I'm pretty stoked because I'm also a lefty playing a Fender, and hey, at least I didn't end up being Jeff Buckley... :-)😎

Here are the top 5 expenses that absolutely should NOT have hit my bank account this week:

1. Buying a new passenger-side control arm for the car
2. Annual vehicle registration fees
3. Car insurance premiums
4. Back-to-school season costs
5. A fresh batch of mobile and landline bills
🙂

Blues is always the premier choice for me... think Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers Band, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Van Morrison, or Jonny Lang...

When the sun is out and I need those good vibes, I go with Reggae—UB40, Inner Circle, or Bob Marley...

For rainy days? That’s definitely Dire Straits and Chris Rea. "The Road to Hell" is hands down my ultimate "rainy day song."

When I'm speeding on the highway: Deep Purple with "Highway Star," AC/DC, or ZZ Top is the way to go.

And if there's a road trip involved, I might lean toward some classic housewife tunes or country music... say, the Eagles, which is that perfect blend of country, rock, and blues.

silentcobra6 said:So, who actually counts as a good blues guitarist in your book? Which players do you actually respect? I’m genuinely curious who serves as a benchmark for someone who doesn't value SRV.😲

I was actually about to ask him the exact same thing...

Apparently, he tested three different string sets, and his G was actually thicker than his A... now, I don't know how much truth there is to that, since people love to embellish legends, but regardless... that kind of sound...🙏

What else is there to say besides wondering why God takes those who should have stayed with us? He left behind so much for us to cherish, and he truly became a legend... I was flipping through a Fender catalog today and saw they produced 100 units of the SRV Stratocaster... honestly, I'd love to hang one on my wall just for the hell of it. To me, Stevie is the purest blues guitarist out there. That sound of his—it’s something that won't show up again anytime soon, maybe never. What are your thoughts on him?

One of my all-time favorite bands... I could honestly listen to them at any hour of the day. People claim they flirt with country music, but if you ask me, they flirt with everything—blues, rock, you name it. I actually went on WinMX to grab a live recording of their performance of Hotel California from back in the 70s... and man, it's incredible. The vocals and the guitar work just grab you by the throat, much like the Beach Boys. It gets right under your skin. That’s why this kind of music will never go out of style.👍

I’ve got a theory that priests are getting down and dirty way more often than us regular folks. Or maybe it's just about the same. If you don't see it my way, you're clearly just refusing to look at reality. I'm not saying every single one of them, but most are definitely sliding by on hypocrisy. At the end of the day, they're only human. They indulge because they think they're above the rules, and they go after women because they're under the delusion that they're too irresistible for even a man of the cloth to resist. That's just how it is.🙂

Hey, quick question—is this upcoming film going to stick to that 11-minute runtime, or are they actually planning to give us something more substantial this time? Also, I’d really appreciate it if the production crew could step up the audio quality. In the last video, filmed out on that yacht, the sound was such a mess I could barely make out half of what was being said....🙂

I’ve always found it fascinating how such an unconventional group managed to pull in decent paychecks and actually win over the crowd here in America. It’s honestly refreshing. Don't get me wrong, but on stations like NPR—which basically serves the entire country—you’re never going to hear anything with a sound remotely like Jinx. Yet, somehow, they made it work. And Yaya? She was always such a standout. That is, until she married that absolute moron who acts like he’s the center of the universe. He’s insufferable. It’s pretty obvious he had a massive influence on her, too, seeing as she decided to walk away from music entirely. People ask why Yaya works in television now. Well, newsflash: families need to eat. Meanwhile, the idiot probably just sits around at home playing PlayStation, scribbling those morbid, pretentious lyrics during his breaks from doing absolutely nothing...

I caught his show in Cleveland recently... the guy is a straight-up genius. He’s got that massive global superstar aura, though I know we tend to be skeptical when someone rolls into the States like they own the place. Honestly, he’s here almost every year because he’s tight with that local guitar virtuoso, Hal. The man is a pure showman; he can have you laughing one minute and in tears the next within five minutes flat. He plays with 100% soul, doing things on that guitar that defy logic—I found myself staring at him the same way people used to stare at Hendrix fifty years ago. He isn't just a guitarist, either; he handles drums and bass too. If you listen to a recording, you'd swear there were three different guitarists playing at once. What really struck me was how he weaves touches of various global cultures into his songs, before finally introducing his own roots, Australia, which was absolutely fascinating. Folks, if you ever get the chance, go see him without fail!!!
