Thanks again South!

"The tiny purple fishes run laughing through your fingers,

And you want to take her with you to the hard land of the winter."

I can't get it out of my head!!!

and yes I am sober

He escaped, too bad for the Theetans.

last I heard, Cthulhu was spotted in his underwater city of R'lyeh. Maybe reading the Necronomicon.

He moves from place to place, I need to check out that book next.

Got that right!!

Oh!! And what else was made that year 1954 that is even better? Meeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Heeeee!!!Heeeee!!!

I would have never guessed you were born that year. I want one of those 50's series strats bad! They are the only ones that come in Fiesta Red anymore, and you can easily pick up a Freddie King/early Clapton tone from it - and people say Les Pauls and Fenders are total opposites LOL

Serpico definitely sounds like a must see film with corruption in play & sadly once you are categorized as a criminal that label never is allowed to leave you by other members of society. Plus, if you are never given a chance at upward mobility through a legal means what else is a person supposed to do starve? Again, I've never seen Serpico, but I think I can anticipate some of the crucial themes throughout. Good stuff.

Small or not, your Star Wars collection would be cool to see since all of my Lucas memorabilia blew away in an 84 tornado. You seem like a person with intriguing interests off the beaten path. I like that. Yeah that sucks when computers die & you lose well written documents that you poured your heart into. I've been there man. It really blows. Thanks for breaking down major Serpico themes for me. I do know that Scarface is a top 100 flick by the American Film Institute. It's been...

It's been years since I've seen it [scarface] though. I go thru phases where I crave watching a good villain on screen or a genuine guy who is a sincere anti-hero just trying to get by & facing obstacles at every turn from a familiar past they are trying to leave behind, but simply can't or they aren't allowed to let it go.

Whoa, that is trippy..lol

The entire video is a trip itself. Old Tom Cruise meets young Tom Cruise!

Pacino fans like me can finally sleep well at night knowing our dreams of a Carlito Brigante/Tony Montana meeting are fulfilled.

Instead of the crying over shock factor, they need to be addressing how it rips off EVERYTHING from 1408 to the Shining to Village of the Damned to Hell Raiser 2

AHS lost me after season 1, the only good season...the rest so disappointing I couldn't finish season 3 and never went back. What a bummer, the concept was there.

Same here. I loved the first season but it went down hill quick. My friends and I have been writing a list of everything Hotel rips off, and we got quite the list going.

Well said Bogie. There's still a long way to go though before the world completely opens up its eyes. That I don't know if we'll get to see.

I'm happy to live to see my LGBT comrades finally have some success in their struggle. To see their happiness this past weekend was truly wonderful.

Yeah, I loved The Force Unleashed. Hearing Darth Vader speak in French was simply hysterical! I thought it was just gonna be subtitles but Anakin Skywalker spoke French all the way thru the game. It was so awesome!

I always wanted to hear Vader in German though. Knights Of The Old Republic is pretty sweet too.

I didn't know that was even in the game LOL!

* and pneumonia here.

3 days of Spring so far and I had 2 bad break outs yesterday and so far today my throat is draining. I would rather go back to winter. Barely ever get cold weather when you live in the south near the beach.

Sorry about the nose bleeds, red eyes, sore throats & pneumonia everybody. He's hoping more enjoyable days are ahead for one & all my friends. It's snowing outside in WI right now too. Major bummer.

It's a remix. Whoever mixed the keyboards did an excellent job.

That's one of the many reasons I like you Bogie. You clue me into instruments like keyboards that sadly seldom get the praise they deserve...Musicians who are gifted at playing them well I mean.

I WISH I could play keyboards. I've owned one before, it's a pain when something breaks in it. One of my ex's used to play keyboards for me many years ago when I was doing guitar and bass.

I love him too! he's got such a prolific and colorful catalog. You could pick blindfolded and still have a great chance of snagging a diamond

I'd love to sit down with you, put on some vinyl records, & just talk about musical eras, musical cities, & landmarks albums/remarkable LIVE performances. You are a unique individual Bogie with a wealth of catalog knowledge yourself. I just appreciate people with variety who appreciate good music.

Thanks man I really appreciate that coming from you. Music is my real passion, football and sports in general are far down the road. I started buying cds when I was real young and slowly drifted from genres looking at the best things I could get my hands on

"I want the young American

Young American, young American, I want the young American

All right

I want the young American."

Happy 68th Birthday Bowie! I love your music man. Keep making spectacular records my man!

That's awesome and a huge relief for you as well. I hope you are already feeling better.

Fantastic Bogie! SW1 is really happy for you buddy. How appropriate that on Valentine's Day you get access to medical coverage. Nice!

Yes it made an awesome Valentine's Day, I've needed to have my back looked at for over a year now, it's great to finally have it worked on again.

May have to see Batman Begins.

it's the best one IMO. A lot more believable and dark. Batman is a character you can do that with, unlike Spiderman or Superman.

I love the new series of films too. I'm actually writing my dissertation on them.

They're all fantastic but I think The Dark Knight is the best one.

You mean the birth of Superman show??? Or is this a different one?

Smallville from 2001. I'm not too impressed with it

Yes, it is quite reassuring to see a soldier return home in 1 piece both physically & hopefully psychologically intact. I worry about our armed forces men & women, PTSD, & what happens when the parades & public adulation stop. Nevertheless, a heart warming homecoming is always a nice thing to see.

Fantastic! Send my thanks for serving

My best friend, grew up together since the 5th grade. He's been stationed in Japan the last 3 years through the Marines, had not heard from him in some time and then out of no where he calls and says he's heading over. I could have done cart wheels if my back would let me!

Southwest I know what you mean. I've been following those stories for quite some time on PTSD's and some of the medical treatment for our soldiers. My friend is through the marines and has alr...

If owner Tom Benson is foolish enough to dismiss HC Sean Payton, I hope that Jim Irsay brings him to INDY for an interview. I like Sean even under Bill Parcells in Dallas & think he deserves to stay in Louisiana. He's a fine coach though.

Best game I've had in a long time. It feels great to beat the Falcons, better than anything to knock their perfect record down. I don't see Sean Payton leaving N.O. even if we have a losing record. He sealed in a tight contract. For him to go to Indy, I wouldn't be too happy with that.

Yeah, that game was vintage Saints with the Bayou Superdome Magic back Bogie! Sean Payton knows what the hades he's doing & I don't see a massive NFL regime change either. Drew Brees looked healthy to me man almost 2009 perfection like. JMO.

did you record it? lol

Yes! The Colts won & they beat Dallas to boot! Excuse me, while I do my happy dance in my office chair. Woo Hoo!

No I don't know how to record games. It was a crappy game though. The Colts lone TD came from a blocked punt by some unknown DB by the name of Jason Belser. I blocked 2 punts, that was 10 points, of my total 16. Dallas could have won the game after a Jeff George pick put them at the Colts 30, and they got down to the 22 but Lin Elliot missed it. That set up the George drive that resulted in the 52 yard game winning FG.

Have you ever heard the Wailing Souls? If you like Marley, they would be right up your alley. Michael Prophet is another good choice. I don't know Reggae that well, I picked up on those by accident a few years back.

Marley's son Steven is a fantastic guitarist and singer.

I'll check them out - thanks.

Latin eh? Carpe diem? The original source for this Latin phrase is the lyric poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65 BC – 8 BC), more widely known as Horace. The term is first found in Odes Book I:

"Dum loquimur, fugerit invida

Aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero" which translates as: "While we're talking, envious time is fleeing: pluck the day, put no trust in the future." Okay, I got nothing. Ha! Ha!

LOL I knew you wanted to do that anyway.

Yes it is. That entire album is in fact.

Funk & seduction mixed with a memorable chorus. Woo Hoo Hoo Hoo! It's very addictive. The chorus I mean not happy hour, honey, or rollercoasters. Well, let me rephrase. On 2nd thought, maybe not.

It's the album "Honey" by the Ohio Players, classic record. I rediscovered a few nights ago and been listening to it non stop.

I haven't heard yet Bogie, but I list to it on You Tube & offer my feedback on it soon. Thanks for the heads up.

It's good if you like his funky stuff. It's got a real nice R&B rhythm that sounds updated.

Prince is a strange musician. I've bought several of his albums from the 80's and enjoyed every one of them but never could figure him out in recent years.

I agree Bogie ever since Prince dropped his name & became a symbol; I have no idea what to make of his musical creativity or choices. I still need to check out his new song. I have preoccupied with a family matter lately, but I will get to hearing the new track very soon I promise. You have my word.
