I recall Hogans matches in the 80s would basically be some power moves, the hand press, then him losing, him losing badly, then him put in a headlock while sitting down. The ref lifted his arm to see about submission, the arm fell. Ref lifted again, arm fell. Ref lifted the thrid time, fell halfway, suddenly Hulk got a jolt of energy, stood up, got punched and it didn't affect him, was thrown into the ropes and gave a shoulder shove, then a body slam, then he did the leg drop & pinned his oppenent.

He would lose until the final minute or two.

Uhm, there's a pretty big backstory here, which I think is what Neemo was referring to.

If they did Axl/DC it could only ne an album with a hit song or two. I think too many fans would feel Brian was slighted to pay to see them ACDC 3 like James said.

This year, it wouldve worked since they wouldnt tour for a while. Not sure when this album began but myb they knew there wouldnt be a tour. Would be interesting, maybe Malcolm asked to kedp Brian and ride it out as is.

and, I just loved the sound of the Yamaha acoustic. Funny, I went in expecting to pay around 400 for a Fender or something, darker woody Wilco sound. But happened to test out the Yamaha and it was more a California Jack Johnson/Janes Addiction sound. Tried playing the others and just came back to it.  It was only 220 at guitar center and I said to the guy 'Am I wrong here, I seem to like this sound better'. I think it suits my style, I dunno. I considered upgrading but don't think I will on that.

Mitch, I'm pretty sure Biden could take office, the Bears win the Super Bowl, and covid is cured all within a 30 day period and you'd still find something to be miserable about.

Were you in the Chicago area during the Bulls run?  That had to be surreal, probably didn't know the legend of it at the time.

As to the holidays, yeah charlie Browns is great. I think PBS might be airing it this year after Apple bought/stole the rights to it, guess they're trying to save face after that deal a little bit. As for music, my faves are The Waitresses - Giftwrapping (unpopular opinion) and The Kinks - Father Christmas.  I think the Killers have a good Christmas song as well, there's some others.. Lennon.

Adam Sandler was on fire the night of the Channakuh song, he probably didn't realize how legendary that bit would become. Even Part 2 is great.
