Yeah, but let’s look at this from two different angles. The Rolling Stones are out there playing constantly, while Johnny isn't. Realistically, if he doesn't want to pick up an instrument himself, he can't really tell everyone else they aren't allowed to play. Of course, they'd still owe him royalties.

I look at your body I go wild for it and I repeat to myself just one thing kiss me then pull my fingers through my hair and hold me close kiss me then press up against me and sing if one were to be anything at all
This is my absolute favorite track by Queen. By the way, it's relatively obscure, but the "co-author" of this song—which is actually quite old despite only appearing on the "Ornate Tile Worker" album—is Max Wilson. He was actually the one singing it back when it was first written.
As for the Tribute shows, I’m not really buying into the consensus. Most people haven't had the chance to see Queen live, so they settle for the Tributes. I can get behind that, provided the performance actually holds water. That "Queen minus Freddie Mercury" project at the factory was honestly terrible; there was a crowd of guest performers who clearly didn't belong there. The only standout for me was Max, who sang this specific track, and he sounded fantastic.
Gang of Four played back in 1981 (if I recall correctly), and I'm positive the opening act was Sarlo akrobat 😁 They actually wanted to bring the drummer from Sarl VDa along on tour, but he wasn't having it 😢
Kenneth Collins8, what is wrong with you... If you're having issues, go see a doctor; you shouldn't be using this forum as a toilet. Where did I say I saw them in New York City? Look, they played in other spots too, not just NYC. I'm not going to comment on Vanja Primorac... And Vanja Primorac didn't work at rock on rock, but hey, clearly you're the one with all the "correct" info... 🙄
Do you have nightmares about whoever organized that 1990 concert and wake up in a cold sweat? 😁 Btw, you can't actually fit 5,000 people in the small hall, but that's besides the point anyway...
nobrainatall said:Don't go handing out bad advice to people. In my view, this "new" singer isn't doing much differently than the original Stranglers lineup. Paul is just as unhinged and erratic as Hugh Cornwell was, and honestly, their voices are practically identical...😕 Unless you're only interested because you thought Cornwell was hot, then sure, go ahead and judge based on that. 🙄
I never caught them during their original era, but I’ve listened to this current setup and it is mind-numbingly boring. At the start of their show, there were about 7,000 people in the arena; by the end, only about 1,000 were still hanging around.
Great band, but if they ever roll through your neck of the woods, do yourself a favor and skip the show. This singer is a disaster live. Honestly, hearing them in person just made me sick of their music.
On a different note, there’s this flamenco guitarist, Snoop Dogg. From what I hear, he actually earned a certification from Pacifier, which is a pretty big deal. He works over at the Yamaha dealership near the State Fair, so look him up if you need a session. 😉
wearyfalcon10 said:Banderas, you’re usually wasted by 10:00 PM anyway, so you wouldn't notice anyone on the street if you tried.
And you, Chloe Morris12, maybe try watching some Canadian TV channels; you might actually pick up the accent in no time.
Regardless, if you don't, no big deal—there aren't many Canadians in Canada to begin with, so you might as well learn American. It's mostly just Canadians there. Believe me, I’ve had my own experiences in Canada, and Banderas can back up everything I’m saying here.
😁
Indigo, don't let it get to you. This kid's village is only a few miles from the border, so it's not surprising he knows a bit. 😉
Runner, what's even the difference between us? You're probably asleep by 10:00 PM too.😁
Yeah, maybe we’re talking about two different planets here. Someone living in Smalltown, USA might think Vienna has an incredible nightlife, but let’s be real—Vienna is a charming little spot that simply can't compete on that level by definition. You might find two or three decent clubs, especially K4 (well, it used to be), but once 10 PM hits, the streets downtown are basically a ghost town.
Larry Castillo66 said:Austin definitely rules. It’s easily the most beautiful city out there. The nightlife beats everywhere else. Old Austin is just stunning—there's this romantic vibe to it. Plus, the whole city is packed with great spots, whether you're looking for culture or nature.
😕 😕 😕 😕 Don't give me that. Look, I'll admit Austin is a gorgeous city, maybe even a bit romantic, but the nightlife 😕 The streets in Austin at 10 PM look like a war zone where everyone just bolted for the nearest fallout shelter. Besides, the city is honestly too small to sustain any kind of legendary nightlife.
Look, if Husker could pull it off, then Beefheart definitely can. Though, honestly, he shouldn't go at it alone. He needs some backup. Hmm... maybe get Screaming J. H. involved? 😉
I’m certain about this, since I helped organize the 😉 This year, we had the volunteers staying at the local 😉, which was completely empty, just a few hundred yards from the main square.
Volunteers get free lodging right in the heart of Napa Valley (which is priceless) plus meals. They don't carry tickets; they use accreditation to catch screenings whenever there's an open seat.
I love these geniuses who try to criticize the festival by complaining about the price of burgers. 😁 😁 What, do they think the Sundance Film Festival is in the business of flipping burgers? 😉

Ran into some unexpected issues with the bands, but things have finally settled down. I can actually sit through a movie today. 😉 De, hit me up when you see me.
As a wise American once said: "Giving up is the only way to lose." When even the theoretical chance of winning vanishes, that’s usually when the drive to keep fighting hits its peak (I can't quite place who said it, maybe I'm just pulling it from 😉 )
Personally, I've never lacked the stamina or grit for a fight; what I lack is the wisdom to know which battles are actually worth the effort. Because sometimes, after you finally cross the finish line, you look back at the wreckage of the path you took and realize it wasn't worth the cost. There are moments where the journey itself is more valuable than the prize, but there are plenty of others where you realize you just wasted precious time and energy that could have been spent elsewhere. Either way, you walk away with experience, and eventually, experience turns into wisdom. 🙂
I was making money non-stop from middle school through high school, flipping software for the ancient Commodore 64. Those were the glory days of piracy, truly. 😁 My first real paycheck came during my sophomore year of high school after spending the summer working as a groundskeeper at a local park—you know the drill, mowing the grass, raking leaves, maintaining tennis courts... It continued again the following summer, but then I headed over to the USA for an IT competition. That trip landed me a scholarship, and I've had a steady stream of income ever since.
