Yes, this is mostly symbolic, but I think there are other, more important issues that I wish the President would focus on before he tries to fix college sports, which has been crooked since almost the beginning.

President Trump Signs Executive Order Targeting 'Illegal' NIL Payments, Seeks To Limit Number Of Transfers

Some of the key topics included in the new order try to curtail NIL collectives, along with allowing players to have five years to play five seasons. But, one of the most drastic changes was the committee who helped write this executive order helping implement a change to the transfer process.

The demographic that attends baseball games is not the demographic that voted in those cunts.
This being Boston, a Democrat machine run city, it's highly likely that the demographic that voted in those cunts is both fraudulent and imaginary.

27 Happy Easter, all. Completely by happenstance, I recently discovered a sub-genre of pop music known as Beach Music. I guess it was quite popular along the Eastern seaboard in the late 60's and early 70's. One if the most successful groups was Bill Deal and The Rondels. Being a fan of harmonies, I really took to their sound and style. Check out the drummer/vocalist Ammon Tharp. Dude has a set of pipes. For what it's worth, here's a little sample medley of three of their hits. Warning: the quality is not great.

81 I've always liked small combo jazz: Brubeck, Vince Guaraldi, Diana Krall, etc. Recently found a channel on YT, Dhara Jazz. Bass, guitar, drums and one female vocalist who actually sounds like a mature woman, not Minnie Mouse. Their version of "It was a Very Good Year", smoky and intimate, is so much better than Sinatra's orchestral arrangement. Worth listening to.

87 Brain Salad Surgery was an awesome album - and the album cover popularized the work of HR Giger like nothing else could.
Posted by: Tom Servo

When I sold off my LP collection Brain Salad Surgery brought some pretty good $$. That copy was damn near brand new as my original was fed to the party gods during the Great Dorm Room Fire of 1974.

Who'da thought macrame' candle holders, posters covering the walls, and a parachute tacked to the ceiling could have contributed to it. (We had the music so loud we didn't hear the fire alarm)

Good times, good times. . . .

But 60s beach music was a bit different from that of the 70s. It was more similar to the crooner stylings of the 50s, while 70s beach started to sound more modern. The beat of the songs and the shag dance is what held them together.

Some of those mess with the pacing. Some mess with the simple lyrics: "Life has it's problems and I've got my share" fits with the "like any other one" and "I'm just a man" theme. Making it "I've got MORE THAN my share" is just hoobris or something. Nope nope nope.

110 Yacht rock makes me think of Christopher Cross. -- BarelyScaryMary

This is a plot point of that Substance parallel show, "The Beauty".
Cross was, as you may know (or, if over 29, remember) big. Sold platinum. Even I remember hearing a lot of his stuff on the radio although as a very young boy I didn't much like it.
Then Cross vanished. Poof! I didn't hear any more of his songs. And his older songs got shifted over to the fossil stations. "A thousand thousand slimy things lived on, and so did [he]."
"The Beauty" suggests that was because he showed up on TV to sing his own stuff and he was short and ugly. The young(ish) women watching would rather watch George Michael.

168 I imagine there are sub genres of Polka music too.

I mean, The Shmenges are not the same as Frank Yankovic and His Yanks.

Grok says: Slavic Styles (Polish-American, Chicago Style and Eastern Style). Slovenian-American Polka (often called Cleveland Style) Frankie Yankovic is the biggest name here. Cleveland has long been called "America’s Polka Capital." Czech-American Polka (including Czexan or Texas Czech style): Found in rural Midwest and especially Texas/Nebraska. Germanic Styles: also called Dutchman Style or "Oompah". Southwestern Styles: Mexican-American Polka, Papago-Pima Polka: A Native American variation in the Southwest with unique adaptations.

I'll bet.

169 Do you remember Crazy Zack's? We used to go to the one in Raleigh all the time and occasionally made it down to the one at OD. But I think there was another more popular place for dancing down there?

No, I don't recall that club. My Grandma lived in Myrtle Beach when I was a teenager in the 80s. Later on, family bought a condo in OD. I remember the music though!

Another plug for the mindful 2003 comic webwork, Jerusalem Report, kinda steampunk cartoonish speculation on the Deep State media of the day reporting and misreporting on the events of one amazing week.

Page 1 of 7 linked in nic.

Takes some liberties, but respectfully, with the Gospel accounts, so I suppose not recommended for the easily offended doctrinaire.

Drunk Caribean Rock and Roll.

For some bizarre reason the have named A1A (in Florida) the Jimmy Buffet Memorial Highway. I know the guy had like two songs and there are some bars around here that play them in an endless loop... even worse with a Jimmy Buffet Memorial Band.

184 162 ... "How big can a jazz combo be and still be a small combo? Add keyboards and four saxophones to the guitar/bass/drums?"

I usually think of small combo as no more than five. Percussion, guitar, bass, keyboard, maybe a sax. (I grew up hearing Dave Brubeck.) Some songs might add a flute. Thinking of Van Morrison's Moondance or Herbie Mann.

Just my opinion based on nothing official.

Kinda makes sense. You can walk into pretty much any bar with live music anywhere up and down A1A and pretty soon you're gonna hear a Jimmy Buffet song.

186 Don't know about this 'biscuits and gravy'. It sounds kind of spartan. But 29 years ago my Army unit's mess hall had a great breakfast - you could get an omelet, some meats on the side, fried potatoes and onions, and a biscuit or two, and drown the whole thing with sausage gravy. 95 cents.

197 Jimmy Buffett is a mixed bag for me. His parrot head 'popular' songs can be playful and fun but not played endlessly. His softer, ballad style songs like "Son of A Son of a Sailor" have an emotional side that is appealing. I despise the drunken/stoned fans who make his concerts into Animal House on spring break.

Posted by: JTB at April 04, 2026 10:06 PM (yTvNw)

198 You gotta admit "livin' on sponge cake" is a great opening lyric.

"On a dark desert highway" is pretty good, too, but that ain't Buffet.

Then there's "I've been warped by the rain," maybe my all-time favorite.

201 I've live pretty much my whole life within a couple blocks or a few miles of A1A and I don't mind it. You even develop some kind of immunity to the music too.

I'm not a "Parrot Head" buy I am proud of my Florida Beachtown heritage.

There are far worse things and places to be associated with.
