 | | tpstar: I just went back to check out that "Thousands Dead" suggestion from before, and after long thought, this is the best response: http://youtu.be/_G6VpxZthfE |

Many historians consider Yoko as the fifth Beatle, and the group really decompensated without her. |
|
| May-15-12 | | Jim Bartle: That was Yoko?? |
|

| | tpstar: <Jim Beatle> OK, you asked for it: http://youtu.be/UoH9zP_n_g0 |

| May-16-12 | | Jim Bartle: I thought the physician's motto was "First do no harm." |
|

| | tpstar: <First do no harm> That's the Hippocratic Oath. Nowadays we use "Laughter is the best Medicine" along with "Turn your head and cough" in the art of healing. Apparently Paul was being difficult to the sound crew during a tour with Linda and Wings, so they isolated her microphone during a performance. You can hear Paul and the crowd in the "background" but Linda is front and center. This was a highly successful bootleg on radio programs before making it big on YouTube. As <harrylime> would say, lol. |
|
| May-16-12 | | Jim Bartle: Yoko gets to sing one song in "Rock and Roll Circus." Her backup band includes Lennon, Clapton and Keith Richards, and all she does is scream and whine. What a waste. |
|
| May-16-12 | | HeMateMe: <TP> re: Linda's brutal voice. Even just a few years ago some disc jockeys were playing that bit, where Linda was warbling (I think) to Hey Jude, most painful. McCartney has an army of lawyers out there, and whenever the Linda solo is played radio stations are warned that there will be litigation if it continues. Known somewhat as a tightwad, at least as regards paying his sidemen, McCartney will spend a lot of money to protect his late wife's legacy. <Yoko>
Look on the bright side. If John Lennon hadn't met Yoko Ono, he would have shacked up with Ruth Buzzi, Karen Black, or maybe a female terrorist from the Baeder Meinhof gang. Either way, he was going off the rails. That said, I do think that Yoko crawling into a burlap bag (at John's feet) and screaming like a ferral cat being electrocuted was one of the high points of the 1969 Toronto music festival. John Lennon, Eric Clapton and some 50's greats were there, but clearly Yoko stole the show. I wasn't in attendance, but if I had been there, I would have headed straight for the burlap bag. |

| May-16-12 | | HeMateMe: Just saw this, in a story about Michael Phelps:
<Being the greatest swimmer in history is a job you do even in your sleep. Literally. For the past year, Phelps has slept every night, from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m., in a hyperbaric chamber set to 8,000 feet.
>
He'll swim at the London olympics, this summer. I think the pressurized chamber simulates high altitudes. It forces the body to create more red blood cells, because oxygen isn't delivered so well from your existing number of red blood cells at that altitude. That's why our soccer players fall apart when they go to play competitions in Mexico--they can't get enough oxygen from the air they are breathing, at the high altitudes. After coming out of this chamber, back to sea level, one suddenly has all these extra oxygen enriched red blood cells, to boost endurance. Does this really work? Blood doping is illegal, the practice of injecting extra blood into your body before a competition. The hyperbaric chamber simulates living in the hills of Kenya, a high altitude environment. It's ok to live somewhere else, so the champer isn't banned by the IOC. I wonder if Phelps is getting the right advice on this, I haven't heard of other people sleeping in one of these chambers. It hasn't hurt him, of course. The only other person I've heard of who has slept in a pressurized container is Michael Jackson. |

| May-16-12 | | Wayne Proudlove: What do you think of when you see a rebel flag? I was once roomates with a guy who had a giant confederate flag on his wall and I thought that's just wrong.
In the earl 1960's, when the civil rights movement's wheel's were really starting to turn, the South was moribund.
Writers like Flannery O'Connor helped define the New South. As a writer she was influence by the art and philosophy of Europe which she combined with being raised and living in the South, which she saw a place of great injustice but also a beautiful place of deep relationships and connections, hospitality, agrarian life, gentle manners, people stoically getting along in poverty, etc.
Artists like her were sensitive and intelligent and lived as both insider and outsider to their own culture; a home she loved as well as a society that she protested.
In passing judgement on a Southerner's commitment to the South, many people invoke the terrible legacy of slavery but I think they overlook that slavery was not "the" common bond but "a" common bond; one so strong that it's taking near two centuries for its nasty residue to dissolve. |

| May-16-12 | | HeMateMe: <What do you think of when you see a rebel flag?> I look for the bottle of Jack Daniels, a fat guy with poor grooming, and a girl with bad teeth. |
|
| May-16-12 | | Jim Bartle: <What do you think of when you see a rebel flag?> "Hey, maybe there's an Allman Brother or a Lynyrd Skynyrd nearby." |

 | | Shams: Another Southerner, Walker Percy, was asked when he won the National Book Award (for "The Moviegoer", 1964-- didn't do much for me) why the South produced so many great writers. "Because we lost the war," he said. |
