I just don't see the appeal of watching senior citizens half ass songs that were good 50 years ago
Have you seen them live recently?
No but I watched one of their live shows on Palladia not too long ago and I thought it was really gimmicky. Anyways I'm incredibly biased in this argument because I don't like the Rolling Stones in any form really. I know the whole different strokes for different folks thing, just my opinion on the matter
Why shouldn't they? They have a history of amazing music. Are they old dudes who don't put on as good of a show? Probably, yea. I haven't seen them.
Just wait until Kanye is 70 and going on his third farewell tour where he's not as great as he once was and you're buying tickets while kids ride past you on their hoverboards and laugh at the people still caring about Kanye West.
I get your point. But there's no way kanye would ever subject himself to that. He's going to hang it up when he knows he's no longer the best
Kanye does what Kanye wants. He's dope and does dope shit.
I got a text tonight that my brother was in a car accident, his car was on fire and he was unconscious at the scene. He has some broken bones and we know the two people in the car he hit are alive but unsure of their condition. That is the second time he has been in an accident where the cop thought there were potential fatalities. I don't give a shit if he has to drop out of our Roo trip, I'm just happy my best friend is alive and he's around for his 4 month old son. What a scary and horrible night...
Not to keep being a buzzkill, but I wanted to take a minute to thank all the people that reached out to me in this thread, in PMs, and through snapchat or texts. I appreciated it immensely. My brother is going to be fine. I'm very glad he took the Mercedes sedan and not the Ford Fiesta to work that day.
oh man, that's terrifying. i'm so glad to hear that your brother is going to be okay.

All good. I haven't seen them live but I am definitely into their old work and I'm biased as well (love a lot classic rock acts from decades before my time). I likely wouldn't shell out the money it costs for one of their regular tour dates but if I was given a free ticket or, even better, they were a headliner at Roo or some other fest I was going to I'd be able to cross them off my bucket list. Also, I've heard mixed things about them live and while they may seem gimmicky I'd argue that a large portion of live acts that reach a certain level get gimmicky with their stage shows.
To me, they'd be like Elton John or Metallica.....an act I'm really glad I could see at a festival I was going to anyway but not someone I'd catch on their regular tour dates. But I do like Rolling Stones a LOT more than either of those acts.
I had a special memory of relaxing at the rail waiting hours for a late night show and having Moonlight Mile start to play over the speakers. It felt magical for some weird reason.
Any long range forecast you guys would recommend? Needing a forecast for the 29th of this month. It will be on the tail end of all the 10 day forecast tomorrow. Just wanting something that is accurate.
Here's a tip I got from a weather man:
1 - Lick finger 2 - Stick finger up butt 3 - Wait 10 days 4 - Open window
I think it's interesting how many more people give the Stones shit than give the Dead. I've never seen the Stones but I saw the Dead on their last tour and based on Shine a Light I would give the advantage to the Stones.
Is replacing a sink faucet traditionally a DIY task? Or am I biting off more than I can chew if I offer to do this? I haaaaate the faucets in our "new" bathroom and kitchen, and want to let the landlady know we'll go ahead and update them (they're not broken or anything, just ugly)...but I have no plumbing experience, just a deep hatred for the current crusty plastic knobs.
I've done it a couple times. switching out a bathroom faucet is a pretty easy task. with a couple caveats: changing out the valves in the wall is a PITA; if they haven't been turned on or off in a while, and they are of the cheap variety then they may start to leak when you try to shut the water off, especially if they are plastic. if they start leaking, you will have to shut the water off to the whole house at the street, and probably replace them. little leaks only become bigger leaks.
this is a cheap crappy wall valve.
Make sure the spacing on the new faucet matches the spacing on the old one, otherwise it wont fit the holes in your sink. Lying on your back under a bathroom cabinet isn't exctly comfortable, but the work itself is pretty easy. it only becomes a burden if things break or unforeseen things need to be replaced. check your wall valves though.

Thank you! I will check our valves and see if they look like trouble.
Last night I made collard greens, but no butter nor ham hock!! MWAHAHAHAHA
I love collard greens. I drove to the south side for a soul restaurants dinner special which included collard greens, pepper steak, wild rice, cream of lima beans, soup, corn bread, and bbq protein tidbits. I ate everything and gave no f*cks about the unnatural amount of food I consumed.
I seen a Zaxby's commercial on TV during the basketball game. The nearest one is 10 hours away in Virginia.
I tried Zaxby's while I was in SC and I wasn't blown away. It tastes exactly like Raising Cane's, if anyone knows what that is. Even the "Zaxby's sauce" was identical to "Cane's sauce." I don't dislike either place, i just feel that both were overhyped to me before I tried them. I suspect it's like a Hardee's- Carl's Jr. / White Castle- Krystal's / Rally's-Checkers thing....

I think that Hardee's and Carl's Jr. are under the same ownership, as are Rally's and Checkers, whereas White Castle and Krystal are separate companies operating (largely or completely?) in different regions. I don't think Raising Cane's and Zaxby's are affiliated with each other, and it looks like their regions actually overlap a lot, or more accurately, it looks like Raising Cane's restaurants are all over, while Zaxby's is still pretty much a regional thing.
I've never had Zaxby's, but I like Raising Cane's a lot (although, not as much as my husband, who could eat there five times a week). The chicken is good, but I'm an especially big fan of their toast.
Also, there used to be a place in Knoxville called Sawyers that I know for a fact was a direct ripoff of Zaxby's, as in, the owner ate at a Zaxby's and said, "I can do that" and opened Sawyers. But I think both locations of that place are closed now, anyway, so there's not really any point to this part of this post.

There may not be a point, but it did make me hungry

Me too! We actually just ate at Raising Cane's last night, so it's still fresh in my mind and now I'm starving!

That makes sense. I haven't had Cane's in a while, so maybe I'm imagining that. I need someone to compare and tell me. But you're right, Cane's toast is the shit. I would say that and their cole slaw is actually better than their chicken and sauce...

Oh, maybe there was a point to the part about Sawyers! Cane's chicken and sauce are pretty much identical to what Sawyers was when it first opened (the quality dropped dramatically after a few years, which is probably why they closed). So I assume that Cane's and Zaxby's are pretty similar too.
I'm not big on coleslaw. I think I tried Cane's slaw once, but now, we always split a Caniac Combo, so we trade the slaw for toast so that we each get a piece of toast.

knoxville had a new chicken place every other week. When I first started school though, it was only sawyers (right there on 17th/white). I actually lived basically right behind it. then they opened the zaxby's about 2 years later, and a place called guthries further down the strip, and then sawyers closed. all 3 places were exactly the same, though i had sawyers long before I heard of zaxby's so I never knew it was a rip off. now out here raising cane's are all over, and I haven't had it but I've seen the menu, and it looks the same. it's just chicken fingers and "special sauce" and some texas toast.

Can't find the "YAY" thread so I'm just posting it here.
Looks like there's a good chance my work will require me to travel to Switzerland for 3-6mo, possibly longer. All lodging/meals paid for. Yayyyyyyy. Now to get my passport.
Me too! We actually just ate at Raising Cane's last night, so it's still fresh in my mind and now I'm starving!
We don't have either place here, boo I'm working late tonight and already starving.
Can CPK fry chicken? Josh does fried chicken strips that I would take over Cane's any day (except for the part where it takes a lot longer and makes a mess of the kitchen).

I'm sure he can! We have a small deep fryer we've had for over a year and haven't taken out of the box yet. Maybe it's time.
Also the part about the messy kitchen sounds familiar, I suppose this is just what happens when people cook with gusto But the end result is 100% worth the extra cleaning.
