  1. Sadly, the musician in question succumbed to his alcoholism not long after this one became a hit. Keith Whitley - "I'm No Stranger To The Rain"
  2. Little Texas - "You And Forever And Me"
  3. almost missed something, so nixing this one.
  4. This one keeps coming back to me when I'm on the road some nights. Mark Chesnutt - "I Just Wanted You To Know"

  13. I'll be doing this one song at a time, favoring "Topic" and "VEVO" channels since those are officially sanctioned by the artist and/or label. I also have a few recommendations that have somewhat salty lyrics or are otherwise not entirely board-safe, so PM me if you want those. ** #1 - Kathy Mattea: "Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses"
  14. When I have more time I'll post some links to videos.

  16. Dunkirk. Sadly, I can't recommend it. The director took a war story and tried to turn it into an "art house" film.
  17. My parents, and several others, rely on coupons to help make ends meet. Most coupon inserts are published in the Sunday editions of the various local newspapers. That means going for newspapers on Sunday to make ends meet.
  18. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/movies/2017/07/17/review-christopher-nolan-excellent-dunkirk-explores-heroism-innovative-fashion/482574001/ For those who don't know, this weekend we're getting a film based on the evacuation of Dunkirk during WWII. The person who wrote that review is complaining about how few women and "people of color" there are in the film. ...Never mind the fact that the involved military units were comprised of white adult males to begin with. Did this person fail history? Because he's making all of us look bad by association.
  19. "Spider-Man: Homecoming" and "War For The Planet Of The Apes". Not particularly impressed by either one.
  20. http://www.npr.org/2017/06/16/533255590/alarming-number-of-americans-believe-chocolate-milk-comes-from-brown-cows 7% of people in a study said that they thought chocolate milk came from brown cows. As someone who lives in Central Texas, I think you can understand why this kind of thing makes folks want to laugh at "city slickers".
  21. Like it was all you had to entertain yourself with.
  22. And on top of that... http://www.wtsp.com/news/local/watch-animal-rights-activists-confront-family-fishing-in-st-pete-throw-fish-back/456087201
  23. http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=97836&page=1 As the researcher states, people are so quick to talk about farm animals that they forget the insects, small herbivores, and others displaced to clear farm land. Don't know about anyone here, but I've known a few too many vegans with raging superiority complexes. I wonder what they'll think about this.
  24. This one comes off of a discussion elsewhere about BBC America, the Armed Forces Network, and other such channels. ** Hypothetical situation - It's an alternate reality that's more sci-fi than ours presently is. Humanity is now beginning to colonize other celestial bodies, and you're someone (say, an engineer, military service member, scientist, contract worker, or dependent thereof) who has been sent to one such place to help get it up and running. It's near enough to where even "slow" space travel is only a few hours between this place and Earth given the current engine tech, but far enough that it would take significant amounts of power to broadcast Terran radio and television live as it happens without any real lag or delay. To this end, the decision has been made to assign various tiers. Material regarded as being of "significant" importance or for which there is "significant" demand will, indeed, be broadcast live as it happens, or only delayed as long as possible to finish another item that is slated for live broadcast. These would be things like the Olympics, the Super Bowl, and national elections for the nations involved in the effort. The next tier is material that is regarded as being sufficiently popular or sufficiently important to provide to the public as a service, but for whatever reason a live broadcast isn't in the cards. Instead, the material is sent out with a lower amount of power, such that it's typically delayed about 4 - 6 hours. This would be things like awards shows, concerts, and other such broadcasts, as well as select Terran television or cable channels. For everything else, the people behind the effort to provide entertainment to everyone simply requisition copies of whatever and then program them around the stuff that is live. In other words, something could air the next day or even the next week. So, if you were in such a situation, 1. What material would you want to see live as it happens? (For the sake of argument, we'll presume that Conference is already on the list.) 2. What material would you be willing to wait a few hours for? 3. What material would you be willing to wait a few days to see? 4. What material would drive you into space madness if you were stuck having to watch it?
