@LibertaerUeberAlles I agree that there would have been an alliance if Germany won WWII. I suggest, however, it would have been more a "Warsaw Pact" type with all governments owing their existence and power to The Reichstag. The EU has a certain (illusory?) amount of democracy that would not have...

I have a great passion for great staccato!!!! A good guitar plus a great player equals a great rockin' afternoon!!!! Thank-you!!!!

Papa John was not only an excellent songwriter, (his string of hits proves this) he was an extraordinary producer!!!! Did you know there was a fifth Papa? They named him Harvey. The group's vocals became so tight, they developed a fifth (overtone) voice. Using the available technology of the time...

Rest In Peace Mary, music died a little with you as did the peace movement! Technology has made war local and ALL OF US potential casualties, if we never learn, then we are ever doomed!

Even thirty years later, they still have the best legs in the business!!! All three look amazing!!!

@xSmokeitDown In reasding your conversation, I'm reminded of a joke where a man would pray every night to God asking for a major lottery win so he could do the good things a true man of God would do. After several years of listening, God in His frustration said to the man: "Mee...

Anybody remember "The 20 Minute Workout" of the '80's and '90's??? On a technical note, I always thought the show was done in a green room using chromache. I must admit my respect for the talent has just gone up. It's not easy going from set-up to set-up and maintaining the choreography.

J.M. Jarre - a musician WAY ahead of his time. jackrudybacks I, too, thank-you - and - we are so small in the universe! Just a little speck of EVERYTHING!

Does The John Birch Society still exist and, if so, are its members now relegated to "fringe" status? Back in the '60's and '70's the news would often mention the Society supporting or opposing political acts. I rarely hear about them today.

It definitely shows me how universal music truly is!!!!

@danhofstra I'm sure Glen Cambell began touring as a Beach Boy in '64 - '65. He recorded "Wichita Lineman" in '66 which was RE-released in '68(?) after "Gentle On My Mind" and "By the Time I Get to Phoenix" established Glen as a solid star. '69 saw "The Glen Cambell Goodtime Hour" with the iconic...

@seoden With the invention of the percussion cap and perfection of the metal jacket bullet, weaponry became more efficient and GUNS like "The Brown Bess" flintlock standard military issue up to the Napolionic War were replaced by RIFLES like the Springfield/ Lee Enfield (muzzle loaders and devast...

@kayfowler1 ginchiest is the most totally upmost baby on the scene - like - to cruise the prom in my totally milled out bitchin' ride - wheel in one hand, totally curvatious in the other. Kooky lingo! It was more a cross between a Beat (Beatnic) slang and a Valley Girl Smooth. In its day, Edd Byr...

@jankiwi An absolutely excellent trip!!! Thank-you!!! Did you find out what the occasional beeping in the cab was - possibly throttle and brake commands?

@jankiwi Is this a suburban commuter service or an inter city line?

@hickok45 Canadians owning and firing historical weapons can be few and far between, so please forgive the idle curiosity question. While you were firing your M-16, I assume it was on "single fire" not automatic, still, did you keep your finger constantly on the trigger, or was it a series of se...

@sohomoma Do I hear you say National Socialism is a good thing? About the only good thing they did was make the trains run on time - and that was great for "future endeavors"! At the end of it all, Germany was a pile of rubble. As a Canadian - outsider - I see a great people living in a great nat...

Whether or not Lincoln was a good president: about the only thing he did was win the war to keep the Union together. In a lot of ways he was the President Bush of his day! The Confederacy was just trying to exercise their States' Rights - no different than The TEA Party, or The Patriot Movement t...

On violence: Golda Meier, the Israeli Prime Minister in the sixties, was once quoted as saying: "We can forgive them for their violence on our children, but we cannot forgive them for causing our violence on their children." I once heard the term "mad dog mean" in describing a fight. When your co...

The Rant on American hypocrisy is right on! I find it absolutely amusing that Congress will go to the British Broadcasting Company (BBC) ffor technology to overcome jamming in China and the Middle East yet not allow American radio stations to streamlink their broadcasts outside the U.S. I miss KI...

The Problem with propaganda on both sides is that sometimes ridiculousness is shown. At 18:32 the police raid archive video is actually an R.C.M.P. (Royal CANADIAN Mounted Police) raid. As a Canadian, I must say "Gary, keep up the good fight" because as The United States goes, so goes Canada if n...

I suggest Oswald's suspicious behavior was due to his cover (from evidence of an association with Guy Bannister of Naval Intelligence) possibly being blown. To Oswald, things were going horribly wrong and he needed to get back to "The Reservation" - New Orleans. There is eyewitness evidence that ...
