And here I was sure you’d have some comments on the Bills-Jets game tonight. Looks like Rex wants all the attention focused on him.
Jeff, I think the Bills will lose to the Jets tonight. Rex’s mind games are getting old…and ineffective.
The press is so provincial here I haven’t heard about Ryan’s antics, but it’s no surprise. I hope the Bills win.
Rick, if the Bill win their Playoff dreams are still alive. If the Bills lose, I think they’re toast.
I think the Jets should win. Fitzpatrick probably has something to prove too.
Jeff, Rex Ryan has something to prove, too. It’s put-up-or-shut-up time.
rex making a thug team captain and commenting on the fact he’ll get comments shows to me he wants media spotlight
the clapton DVD sounds good Not sure which album it was, but one was done in Escondido, which is about 20 miles north of SD not sure if any songs from that are on this, cuz i didn’t hear it I’m far behind musically, due to audio books in the car 95% of the time (the other 5% is boy from oz soundtrack)
Maggie, plenty of Bills fans are hostile to Rex Ryan’s recruiting of thuggish players and threatening to turn the Bills into “bullies.” You would really like this combo set of Clapton!
A lot of good songs here, but I have every one on other CDs.
Rick, like you I have plenty of Clapton songs on multiple CDs. But this combo set will be a nice present for the Holidays.
Eric Clapton is God.
Beth, as far as guitarists go, Clapton is at the top!
My wife also thinks EC is the greatest – she even put “Cocaine” as a ring tone on her smart phone – but we don’t do drugs of course.
My personal favourite is his long time English companion Steve Winwood who is probably not as well known as EC – so we were really happy to see and hear them together open air in Munich a few years ago.
Btw I think EC is best when he’s surrounded by other great musicians like in his famous Crossroads Concert series – have a look at these performances, all the best blues and rock guitarists have appeared with him, from B B King to Johnny Winter and a lot of young talent.
Wolf, we saw Steve Winwood live a few years ago at Jones Beach and he was excellent. I’ve been a fan since his Spencer Davis Group days when he was 16.
Jeff, you lucky guy!
Though I have to confess that after the $ lost much of its value I regularly went on holiday to the USA and saw Steve W once in Orlando at the House of Blues and twice on a roundtrip through Texas in Houston and Austin (my favourite town …)!
Wolf, it won’t surprise you to learn that I have all of Steve Winwood’s CDs. ARC OF A DIVER is a particular favorite.
Jeff, you and Jackie have seen and heard a lot of great musicians!
Wolf, those Crossroads Concert CDs have a lot of great guitar music on them! I’m a big fan of Eric Clapton’s “Cocaine” too!
That’s funny in a way – is there a connection between Science Fiction and Blues/Rock music – or the love of it?
Though because of age we don’t go to as many concerts as we used to do – specially when it means “standing room only”.
Re Crossroads:
What I found very moving was that all those younger musicians paid their respect to the “old ones” – one could feel that they really admired them! And they liked to play those “evergreens”.
PS:
J J Cale who wrote Cocaine is also one of our favourites.
I loved Winwood in Spencer Davis Group. I think I got a cd of theirs on a visit to the Rock N Roll Hall of fame in cleveland
My brother has been a Clapton fan since his Cream days. I know he saw him at Madison Square Garden with George Harrison & others at the Concert for Bangladesh back in 1971.
Back in the late 60’s in SD I used to hang flyers for “dances” at my high school, so I got to go free. I saw Cream, Buffalo Springfield among others. The cost was $1.25 or so. Wish I’d saved some of the posters!!
Of course, I saw The Beatles at Carnegie Hall in February of 1964. Tickets were $3.
And “saw” is the operative word, as screaming girls made hearing anything a doubtful proposition.
Maggie, those posters would be worth a ton of money today! A guitar John Lennon played back in the Sixties just sold at auction for millions!
Those all red Bills uniforms are not attractive. With the Jets in all green it’s like Christmas. Ugh. I like the Bills regular uniforms much better.
Rick, I can’t agree with you more! Both uniforms–red and green–are garish and ugly!
