Audioslave is good too.

I could not have stated it better IO as far as current female voices go. Mine is Lady Antebellum. Hillary Scott has an amazing voice. A couple of their songs are typical pop/country; cheesy, but her vocals make them worth listening to. Need You Now comes to mind immediately. As good as she is, the dude is just average.....sounds too much like so many other male singers in current Country. That said, their tribute to Kenny Rogers is phenomenal. enjoy

Similar topic. I did not create a separate one, but thought this would fit in well. We have mentioned Jim Morrison, Chris Cornell came up here, but they are in that category of gone too soon. other frontmen gone too soon I would have loved to see what Queen would have done, but part of me feels what we saw from Freddie at Live Aid was mainly because he knew his time was short. Kurt Cobain....incredible poet, lacked an on stage presence, but it fed the persona or vibe of Nirvana As I said above Chris Cornell, what a phenomenal talent. The possibilities were endless for him.Bon Scott....enough said Michael Hutchence...just a sad and tragic story for someone so talented. others? Also, I was trying to think of females who were the front “person”. Stevie Nicks comes to mind. And even though Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie were lead vocals on several songs, Stevie’s personality was the dominant one for the group. I cannot wait for a movie to come out about Fleetwood Mac. If you have not seen it, it very well may be the best Behind the Music episodes on VH 1. Does Ann Wilson count? I know she and Nancy are always spoken of together. But Ann does all the lead vocals. I did a quick google search for female rock singers, and most of them have what I referred to as support bands, and really were not the front person of a group....if that makes sense. And the ones that were, like Belinda Carlisle of the Go Gos 🤪😍, I don’t think they have the staying power of any of the bands we have mentioned.

Maybe it is just our age, but what is noticeable is there is not a group from the last 20 years that has someone worthy of being in this conversation. IO, I agree with the comments about the Doors. LA Woman is one for me as well, but Break on Through is my top Doors tune. As far as the Stones....Gimme Shelter, hands down.....CRANK IT UP, and play it often. It is all of them at their absolute best, including Keith’s guitar work. Sadly though, hearing them play it over the last 30 years, it does lose the magic the original has. I was pumped for the Steel Wheels tour in 1989, and was not disappointed.

As pressure will continue to mount on Governors to drop restrictions, the fact is we still do not know the extent of what we are dealing with. While this is about San Francisco, the likelihood is that numbers are similar to this in major cities across the country. https://www.foxnews.com/health/coronavirus-antibody-testing-finds-bay-area-infections-85-times-higher-reported-researchers I Do think this article deflates the conspiracy theory that Health officials and Governors are inflating umbers in their states. The key is testing. We HAVE to have a widely administered test before we can begin the conversation of opening things back up.

I would easily pick Sammy. If Roth had stayed true to form and not go "Hollywood" with the f'ed up hair and the tights, he could easily be in the conversation. But his ego was way too big. As far as Sammy goes, he just drifted too much. Even though he was with Van Halen for a while and they put out some great stuff, it is hard to get over the mindset that he was a sub.

Great one DE

Starting to notice more connections to the original series. The copters and the 3 circle logo....same as the ones that took Rick, right?

I have him in my list of others to strongly consider.

Hard to argue that one. I always leaned more toward the Stones than I did the Beatles, but the Beatles did not have a clear front man. Freddie Mercury's career was cut short, but he is a close 2nd, in my mind. Our age difference may show a bit here though Bob, but U2's Bono is right up there. I know I am a bit ( ok a LOT) bias because they are my favorite band. But longevity and tour success have got to be factors, right? :) I guess we can include Robert Plant in this elite group. Others to strongly consider: Steven Tyler, Stevie Nicks??? Again though FM falls victim to not having a clear front"man", Geddy Lee Bon Scott (career cut WAY too short), Brian Johnson, Roger Daltry (But was Pete Townsend just as strong?), James Hetfield (have to appreciate their ability to stay around) Jim Morrison (life ended WAY too soon), and Dennis DeYoung. OK, not many in that category, but next tier might be more crowded.....Steve Perry, Jon Bon Jovi, Brad Delph, Kevin Cronin, Debby Harry, Axl Rose, Eddie Vedder, Jerry Garcia, Dave Grohl, Ray Davies, Phil Collins, and Michael Stipe. I am sure I have missed a few. Some great musicians would include Tom Petty, Bob Seger, and Jimi Hendrix, but to me, they were not really just a role player in a band. The supporting bands behind them changed to some extent, so I excluded them. Back to the top...Mick still rules. In his prime, he did not just break a mold; he was beyond outrageous, and this wave of music was completely new. They had a great mix of rock and blues. And he was the first of his kind in so many ways.

One question that might have factored in.......were all regions able to hold their meetings to vote on players to be in the game?

The Sheriff posted this on his facebook page. This Dr. discusses a lot of the common themes that we hear and see regarding this outbreak and the virus. he also posts links to other articles he has written in connection to it. It is well worth the time to read. https://medium.com/swlh/misinformation-goes-viral-1aad951e4492

Similar to a number of viruses. AIDS for example. People may have multiple complications due to having it, so it may be the cause of death, but often times, the cause of death is AIDS related illness or complications; with pneumonia being the most common cause. A lawyer friend put it best. In the legal world, if you shoot someone who is falling off the roof; even though the fall would have caused them to die any way, you are still charged with murder for shooting him.

Binging Fear now....There is a large gap in what I recalled. I basically left off after Nick was killed. What I did not remember though was the repeated flashbacks, and the fact that Madison had actually died before they had shown the scene where she did. The next thing I remembered from the show was the season 4 finale, where the crew is at the convenience store after having been poisoned with anti freeze in the water, followed by Morgan showing up with Jim's beer truck.

True, but that is the case with a number of viruses. Had he never acquired the Coronavirus, how many more years would he have lived? He became a "light" for those trying to minimize the seriousness of the virus and to promote the notion that States and health officials were not reporting accurate numbers. The sad reality is that the virus led to his passing. As I said, the actual cause of death may have been one or more of the underlying issues. But looking at AIDS as an example; when people pass, the death certificate will not say AIDS. It will say something along the lines of AIDS related illness; or complications related to AIDS. In a legal and medical sense, it was AIDS that led to the untimely death, just as in cases now, people are dying of causes or complications related to having the Coronavirus.

It is a fair question and criticism to be sure. That said, the story is getting a lot of attention now. The questions that could also be asked, are things like, this was 27 years ago, way back in his past, why bring it up now? Will people investigate the accuser and the story the same as they did Kavanaugh’s accuser? If holes start to appear in the story, will he be defended as vehemently as people did Kavanaugh?

It actually is the same person. After retiring from the police force in Milwaukee, he was a professor at UM.

It seems more and more people are losing patience and are pushing for a lifting of some restrictions. With anything there is risk involved. Japan is seeing a second wave of the outbreak just a month after lifting restrictions. I am pretty certain that this will be a common theme as more and more states and countries look to get their economy on track. I guess we have to weigh the risk vs the reward? What are we willing to give up as a State or nation so that our lives can be closer to what they were just a few months ago? https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/13/832981899/emergency-declared-in-japanese-prefecture-hit-by-2nd-wave-of-coronavirus-infecti?utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews&fbclid=IwAR0NNy1juQwC76lqmK7G6v-60HnwegURJ8PMV6o5YCuLfhUkT-IYEbR0aZM

Texas Governor Abbott is looking to slowly lift current restrictions; looking to strike a balance between the safety of the people of Texas and the economic state of of Texas. That said, we need to be careful trying to return to "normal" too soon. Japan is just a month into having lifted restrictions, and a 2nd wave is hitting them hard now. https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/04/13/832981899/emergency-declared-in-japanese-prefecture-hit-by-2nd-wave-of-coronavirus-infecti?utm_campaign=npr&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_term=nprnews&fbclid=IwAR0NNy1juQwC76lqmK7G6v-60HnwegURJ8PMV6o5YCuLfhUkT-IYEbR0aZM

This is such sad news. Paul was a great man, always willing to talk football. He will be missed. Prayers to his family and friends.

I think I have figured out where I left off on Fear now. I missed the episode, must have been the finale, when Madison sets off the flare that kills here in the ball park. I did not see who came to help Aaron and Alden, all it showed was them being surrounded, and then it showed them fighting and killing most of the whisperers in the preview. I will have to go back and watch the preview again, I missed who was in the mask.

Huge props to John Krasinski. A lot of great stuff here. Episode 1....make sure you watch through the end; it is really cool. Episode 2
