I remember what he said when he flopped hosting the Oscars. "I had no idea this thing was being televised." And when he got the Kennedy Center honors. "Now I can show my family. They think I work at a Jiffy Lube in Mexico." He did a good segment on Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee: http://comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com/david-letterman-i-like-kettlecorn

I remember when the flip side of mp3 singles would bleed through.

Curt Gowdy said he took Casey Stengel to a bar and noticed how fast Casey drank. Casey said he always drank fast since his accident. Curt asked, you had an accident? Casey said, yeah one time I accidentally spilled my beer!

Jim changed my user name from It Should be You to my real name, and I didn't lose any of my previous posts. I don't know if it was hard to do but it seems it was not technically impossible.

Sounds like the Italian skater did a lovely routine and was very excited to medal. Hope I get a chance to see all that!

This one is a beaut (with Kenny Burrell)

For me the most thrilling event is ski jumping! Long time ago I got to see the actual Oberstdorf Austria ski jump site that was for years featured in the intro to Wide World of Sports. "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat!" The agony of defeat line showed video of a ski jumper wipe out at Oberstdorf, from what I understand. The strangest event is long distance skiing then stopping to shoot at targets. Can anyone huffing and puffing from the exertion of a marathon ski session really shoot straight? Those contestants are awesome specimens! Oh, and the flying little girl in the opening ceremony was fantastic. She should be a star! The people bent over and moving fast was a pretty good artistic representation of the industrialization under Communism. They put a lot of thought into the whole opening ceremony history of Russia and it was kind of strange to say the least. Not sure how they could have done it better (from their point of view).

List please! Good luck with next recording session!

Interesting situation. Though other companies over the years have sought the Buck Foundation's permission, I really wonder just what kind of rights the Foundation even really has. If the catalog was acquired in 1970, there was no federal copyright for sound recordings at that time, just a patchwork of state laws against selling pirated counterfeit copies, mostly. In other words, the Buck Foundation may have for years been asserting a right they didn't even really have. I know of record companies that have tried that and gotten away with it lots of times -- asserting copyright they did not even really have. (There ought to be a law against THAT. That's tampering with the public domain, to put it politely!) Just because you get away with asserting a right does not necessarily mean you have it, even with the best of intentions and non-profit status. Most likely, though, White and Revenant just didn't do their homework on this or made bad assumptions. That'd be a shame.

If it's available for smartphone, I could listen to nothing wherever I please.

Thanks. Yes, I am restoring it right now. It wants me to reload the music, which I am doing right now. Hoping that will clear up the problem. ETA: That seems to have worked! My 160 GP classic is working in the car again! First time I have had to restore it.

That's generally fixable, ya' know: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/how-to-reset-or-unfreeze-an-ipod-nano-ipod-touch-ipod-classic-or-ipod-shuffle/ I should have said what freezes up is the car system. I know how to unfreeze the Ipod. But whenever I plug the 160 into the car system, the car system freezes up. Works fine with the 16GB Nano.

I find it much easier in my car system (Subaru Legacy) to scroll through my playlists on a 16 GB Ipod Nano than the 160 GB Classic I had. My Classic froze up recently and I haven't replaced it.

OT Our vocabulary for hats has become so diminished that people refer to baseball hats and truckers hats! Don't know even know what a cap is anymore! Where I grew up in Louisiana, even farmers wore fedoras. In the field.

RIP. Man had a hammer, a bell, and a song to sing! Glad I got to see him at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in the early 80s. And yes, he had us do some singalongs! Enjoying YouTube videos of his Rainbow Quest TV show.

This is the recording that followed his disastrous tour of Stanstraightistan.

More like I jumped fence for a genre (a generation?). I really enjoyed Jamaican dancehall rappers like Brigadier Jerry, Prince Jazzbo, Big Youth, Yellowman etc. in the early 80s, then just gave up on it when it went to the U.S. and became rap. To me it's as if the last 35 years of pop music has been largely dominated by a form that's as novelty and quickly gotten over as talking blues. Imagine the talking blues form dominating pop music for 35 years. I will be corrected here to be sure, but that is how it is for me.

Take a Message to Mary!

I wish you a happy and fortunate new year!

Nice one i'm listening to right now!

I somehow missed The Believer, but it looks like I might have the rest. I don't know who could do without these Prestige recordings.
