Wow. An awful lot of complete garbage going around about Pink Floyd. The war is over. Gilmour and Waters have sat down at the truce table. I'm just happy that Richard Wright lived to join with them and Nick one last time. David and Roger wasted 20 years on a nasty feud. What kind of loser w...

@biglloyddobbs What was that for?

@ggwindc1 They were thinking about pain and spectacle. Such is to be expected in Le Tour.

I was at this show. First Rush show for me.

Ole!

He finds litter boxes....beneath him... :)

The first thing that pops into my head when I see the words "1984 Giro" is the words "Helicopter Assist" :)

@yesroh When LeMond clipped the aero bars onto the bullhorns in 1989, the thing which I immediately noticed about his position was that it appeared to pull his torso forward and open up his breathing a bit over his previous bullhorn position in 1986. My thinking was that the crouch wasn't as imp...

Slash was (back in the day), and alcohol addled joke. His brain couldn't process the requisite thought or feeling to get into the same conversation as Gilmour.

@geoff101001 I would tend to disagree. I think that they are both very knowledgeable players, though Clapton is more steeped in the blues than Gilmour. With regards to Clapton's speed, it only presents itself when he is playing cliched lines that he has rehearsed to death. A guitarist can empl...

@Threeninjas123

It does not encourage kids to kill. There is no message in this piece that comes remotely close to that threshold.

Why not use some of this pro-censorship anger to actually prevent bullying and school shootings? Perhaps you are more interested in censoring free speech and free...

Malamutes Alpha through Omega reporting for sled training, Sir!!!

Yuck!

The character of Alan Shore deserves to be a character remembered with the likes of Atticus Finch. He is not a professionally ethical man, but he is a moral man. His personal code of ethics incorporates Machiavelli with a sense of "do the greatest good". He is highly unethical, but rarely does...

No argument about Bauer. He was an incredibly strong rider.

He won the Dauphine and placed highly in a lot of other major events. He was no fluke. I think that perhaps he should have focused on 1 week stage races. He had the ability to take and hold a lead for a week.

When I t...

@Fro0lik In contrast, the novelization was not ambiguous. In the novelization, Palpatine's knowledge, if not his power, clearly eclipsed Yoda. Yoda needed to retreat because he forsaw that the key to Sidious defeat had not yet come to fruition. Sidious drew his power from the aggression of oth...

I never joke about culture..

No cycling aficionado can argue that 1987 wasn't "The Year Of Stephen Roche".

Unfortunately, his injury flared up again and he never really competed at this level again. By the time that LeMond had returned in 1989, Roche was falling off the back.

Stephen was a great competitor, a classy guy, ...

I think people are missing the overall point of the last part of the miniseries. Adams, like Washington, found himself in the unenviable position of trying to mediate between the widely divergent views Jefferson and Hamilton.

In the end, perhaps history shows that the bonds that were forged b...

I greatly agree with your comments at the end of the video. I always point to Eric Johnson and David Gilmour as examples of players that use signal processing as a way of refining and enhancing the natural tone of the instrument, rather than morphing it into something unrecognizable. EJ is almo...

The Star Wars story is the brainchild of one man - George Lucas. It is, basically, his life's work. He even worked with Joseph Campbell to properly use the tools of classical mythology in creating his work.

I find myself tired of fans who clearly do not understand what the story is ...

@waldorman7 Yes, he does. No amount of griping on our part is going to change that. There was an interesting article published today, which drew parallels between Fantasia and Star Wars. The assertion was the Disney intended Fantasia to be an evolving work which would change through time, but ...

@hurri2002 2) Taking a pull on an ascent is not the same thing as taking a pull on the flat. There is virtually no advantage to drafting when on a 10% uphill grade.

An important thing in grand tours is that their champions must grow stronger as the 3 weeks progress. That was definitely the cas...

1:06 - So This Is How It Ends.....

Hilarious.

RoadID is a great idea. A RoadID on the wrist, a smartphone (w/GPS) in your back pocket, a spare tube & pump, and a good helmet - makes for a great safety kit.

This commercial is really good, unfortunately they kept showing the Hincapie one throughout the tour coverage. Liggett is really great...

@NYCDRAGONKING It's not nice to be nitpicked, is it?
