February 18, 20214 yr He didn't look too good 4 years ago at Trump's inauguration. I can't imagine he can stand up to the treatment for very long. Hopefully, they can make him as comfortable as possible.
February 18, 20214 yr Boom. Had rush last year and thought it was a lock. Re-uped this year and he came through. Adios mofo.

February 19, 20214 yr If you watched much ESPN in the ‘90s, you remember Jeanette “Black Widow” Lee. Sounds like her days are numbered based on the Go Fund Me for her daughters, stage IV ovarian cancer. https://sports.yahoo.com/black-widow-jeanette-lee-former-billiards-no-1-diagnosed-with-stage-4-ovarian-cancer-162151785.html
February 19, 20214 yr The Fat Boys, Prince Markie Dee passed away at 52 today, some good 80's flashbacks thinking back to that music and videos. Disorderlies was pretty funny as well for my 10 year old self at the time.

I thought for sure he was at least 10 years older than me when I was listening to them back in the 80s. Wow!
February 19, 20214 yr They played at my elementary school probably around ‘88 or so, hadn’t thought of that group in a minute.

Disorderlies was pretty funny as well for my 10 year old self at the time. He was a radio DJ in Miami when I lived there, and I always enjoyed when he was on the air. I picked him a few years ago but took him off my team for whatever reason. I think I might make Mrs. Doom sit through Disorderlies this weekend.
February 19, 20214 yr If anyone wants to step into a time machine I highly recommend watching Krush Groove. Fat Boys, Run DMC, Kurtis Blow, a young LL Cool J, New Edition and an appearance by the Beasties. And Sheila E is hot AF.

February 20, 20214 yr There’s actually a short thread on her in Other Sports, didn’t see it before my post.

February 20, 20214 yr I’m going with 99 year old Prince Phillip, husband of Queen Elizabeth. Admitted to hospital on Tuesday for what was supposed to be a few days but now extended until next week. Prince Charles showed up to visit him today. Now I’m not starstruck by the Royal Family at all, generally disinterested. But my place in London is across from the back of the hospital and it’s surrounded by police, news media and paparazzi. I now have to show a bill with my address on it every time I return to my place and new police shifts don’t recognize me. And with the covid lockdown it’s too hard to sneak in a few friends due to the police presence. The old man needs to get on with it, one way or another.

February 21, 20214 yr Finally on the board with Rush. That was basically a free space this year. Yeah Prince Phillip is almost dead but he only gets you 1 point.
March 1, 20214 yr Aww man...I loved him on The NFL Today. That was required watching when I was a kid. Brent’s the only one left now.

March 11, 20214 yr Damn...RIP Lou who provided the necessary device for recording songs off the radio so we didn't have to buy the album as well as burning CD's from pirated music downloaded from Napster.
March 11, 20214 yr My first ever job was Camelot Music in a mall for the December rush of ‘95. We had one little section still left of cassettes, that was probably the last season they were in stores.
March 11, 20214 yr I can remember sometime in the late 80s saying "CDs are a fad, they won't last". Feel free to ask me for gambling tips and stock advice, I obviously know what's what.

March 11, 20214 yr When I was in Seattle one of the rock stations (pretty sure it was KISW) played 9 at 9 every weeknight. 9 songs by the same artist with no interruption. I had a whole tape case full of those. Unfortunately nearly every one had a song cut in half when the tape ran out on one side.

I had one of those recorders that had a switch that said RP/LP/XP. 30/60/90 min per side IIRC. Never used anything but XP. Tapes did occasionally snap.

Funny, I remember recording albums to cassette and the last song would always cut off. To this day I know the words to entire albums except for the last few minutes of the last song.

March 14, 20214 yr That Leonard/Hagler fight is still probably my favorite of all time. I spent most of my life thinking Leonard deserved to win, but watched the entire thing recently and came away thinking Hagler should have probably won.
