The wonderful thing about WML, then and now, is you get to see some of the major stars of the 20th century in a pretty natural setting sans costumes and see them while they were still working in the industry...some after their maxiumum fame, and some at the top of their game...and I'm speaking of...

@911SMOM Thank you for the consideration. I'll check the posts you listed. I'm going to watch the game and then get back.

I've been around Illinos for a while. This sounds like a farming operation from a distance. It sounds like a combine or some type of tractor with a spreader. Could be a farmer discing as well. Doesn't sound like a train...no low frequencies you might expect for a long coal train, etc. Possibly al...

Wrong initial HR screening for this 911 Operator. Managaement fail.

Sometimes I think the world has gotten worse, corruption, greed, etc., since I was young...but, maybe the world has been this way since before I was born and I've just realized it. You know, believed the propaganda and then realized the truth. But maybe the behaviours of the top have trickled dow...

I disagree a bit that Destination Moon is a better movie, although it has the "regular joe" character in it as well...which is a part that an earlier audience might have identified with. The shooting of DM was done exceedingly well for 1950, with a hi-key and deep shadow lighting style for the EV...

I find it more than a bit amusing that the young students are more with the issues and are more intelligent than the talking head anouncers on CNN...which shows that the media is present not to inform, but to reinforce or diffuse positions...or, in this case, attempt to entertain.

@narozzz Also, it's possible there was a different lyric in the 1st verse that was changed for the cut in. Regarding the mastering then with 4 track or mono master tapes...once you have the finished mixdown of many versions of the same song, you could just splice the tape and you'd have your edit...

Many TV performances by groups would either be totally live, vocal live with the studio backing track from the release version, or a total lipsync. You can see that the drummer is not hitting the skins hard. Eric is singing on this one though. Live performances for many rock acts were not easily ...

As mentioned earlier, this is a vocal performance to the instumental backing track. The only people mic'ed are the lead, bass player, and guitarist playing the Gretch. This was another typical TV performance method, other than a total live performance or a totally lip-sync'ed (pre-recorded) perfo...

In addition, some TV programs used mostly live perforamnces. Johnny Cash's show would have live performances...like the Guess Who. The late night programs of the late '60's early '70's like Midnite Special and ABC In Concert used live performances, although this changed also. Another reason for n...

You would have thought that they hired William Shatner for exactly his type of delivery. If they wanted something else...they should have hired someone else. That's what a talent person does...gets the best type of talent for the spacific job. Take two was very good, the better of the two...and t...

This was well done. Aside from it's reality, it has a nightmare quality...seeing the plane off to the right striking the high tension wires and it's engine sound. In addition to the carnage and death...the most affecting and nightmarish quality for me is the detached engine spooling down...it giv...

There's a common belief that policing is a profession and the people involved are highly trained. This could not be farther from the truth. They are not professionals in the same way a doctor or lawyer would be. I would be interested in seeing the type of training police officers, detectives and ...

One of my favorite tunes from one of America's unsung great bands, Cactus...the US Led Zeppelin.

@SWIFTzTrigger ...statistics really are for excessive force by police vs. assults on the police. Back to use of force by the police, the policymakers for the cities seem to be going to science (tazers/non-leathal weapons), tactics (limiting contact with the community), etc. to effect efficincy. I...

Does anyone see a strong relationship between Clutch and Captain Beyond? The similarities, especially in this song, are strong.

Did he have a slow resting heart rate? His heart rate was 150 during the high G loads.

I don't remember Cronkite or Huntley & Brinkley doin' that. The closest I remember was Frank Reynolds on the Regan shooting in '81. This shows the truth that we have bush legue news people now...and I'm including 2nd and 3rd stringers like Brokaw and Jennings. It's not news, it's entertaiment...r...

Les Paul may be a bit manic in his playing...but not bad for a guy with a shattered right elbow that was set in place.

Star, I'm sure you're thinking of England's John Logie Baird, who invented the first mechanical/eletronic television system. But it was Philo Farnsworth (not RCA) who devleoped the first fully electronic television in the States...and was the basis of the system of television the world had until ...

I was surprised that the olded gentleman did not know about Nagasaki and Hiroshima. However, I guess I could ask the folks at, say, Elephant & Castle what US President is on a 10 dollar bill (it's kind of a trick question). I've been in the UK and found that one would have to explain common thing...

I agree that American's could be better informed. However, I can't help but notice where the English announcer chooses to ask people questions...what about a college campus, MIT, or Harvard? Most of the people I know go to "Las" (and it's not LAAAS) to get away from formality. How many of the int...

I'm glad someone has a memory. Argent came before Nirvana...Nirvana came after Argent.
