@helpdonate1 Not always. See the movie "Slaughterhouse Five", for which he wrote the music.

@YoukaiGoku Maybe it was a typo.

@copperjohnred What happened to music is you got older.

@auraimaging To deny the existence of one isn't necessarily to deny the existence of the other. One may also believe that they are not the same thing, and that one exists and the other doesn't. With respect, your logic is a bit off.

@huartchristian: Horowitz once said that if Art Tatum ever decided to go classical he would quit playing. :)

I'm God, and I like it. So be nice.

Interesting idea, that there may be physical realms in which souls are less bound to the body than in our own, and that if so consciousness might well be expanded beyond our own.

@paulostroff99 Well, you're just showing that you are familiar with a rather well-trodden opinion that Richter's is the "definitive" recording. I think Richter's version is a great one, but I don't think it's any better than Gilels's. ("Should you wish-check it out.") And yes, I've heard both ...

I dunno. Kind of reminds me of running me car in the garage, and maybe turning the air conditioner on and off a couple times.

"El Pirata." A fitting nickname. :)

Best: you can tackle me, but you can't get the ball.

Ronaldo: MOMM-a! MOMM-a!

Signature move, Best: someone lying on the ground wondering where the ball is. Ronaldo: the step-over.

I wish they'd go back to spraying gold paint on the helmets before every game. This lameass gold colored helmet they have now just aint making it.

@elcoyote71 Racism is alive and well in our African American community...and if I may say so, Tony Rice was no Donovan McNabb or Randall Cunningham.

This interpretation differs more from the others I've heard than any other. Some things he does better also than any other that I've heard. And then just when something particularly special begins to happen there is that horrible singing. The only thing I can think of it to compare it to is Yo...

I do wish he'd realize that his vocal accomplishments aren't up to the standards of his pianistic ones, though. :)

Seems pretty obvious that the speaker was introducing Brahms. The last thing he says is "Johannes Brahms."

@NicotinMan Thank you for sharing your opinion. Personally, I find things to like equally in each. You will also note that I made no mention of "the music of the Spanish-speaking world" as your response seems to imply. I don't disagree with your statement about Spanish music having a style dis...

@hcmcsu It's just a phase. Our advertising and entertainment media spent a lot of time making women second-class, because men decided what movies to see and what stuff to buy. At least they thought they did! Now that it's more clear that women make most of the buying decisions in a relationshi...

@ZachNeiman Practise is the English spelling for the verb. Examples: the Brits will "license" you to drive, or sell you a "driving licence". You may also go to the "off licence" to buy liquor to be consumed off premises. A doctor or lawyer will have a "practice" but will "practise" medicine or...

Lonnie is one of the greatest, and maybe my favorite blues person.

This is a really good cover, but I'm still stuck on the original.

@MReineck Some words suggest that it was Dylan. "Burst on the scene already a legend." "You who are so good with words and at keeping things vague."

@maxhansendk "Piano is a more difficult instrument to play really fast" I disagree. Bow speed requires the use of larger and slower muscles than finger speed. Also, you're either fingering or bowing with your off hand, whereas on the piano all the fast notes are (for most of us) in the dominant...

@iamunderstand Silly me. And I thought my comment was so clever. LOL

@sharonellis I disagree with your statement that he would have made miracles if he had traveled, as if it were automatic. He could have been studying other religions besides Judaism. Furthermore, if he had created miracles in, say, India or China, I don't believe that they would have perforce b...

@pscucailin The Brits lost all their best men too. The French had a disadvantage of not having any water between them and the Nazis, as well as believing that the Nazis wouldn't go through Belgium. The Maquis showed extreme courage in the face of extreme brutality, and Americans could understan...

This is one of the few guys I've ever seen that might win a fight with Bruce Lee in his prime. Buffalo vs. leopard.

I studied briefly with a guy who trained with Oyama, and I can tell you from experience that one flick in the ribs from him would leave you sore for a few days. Trust me, Oyama could put just about anyone down with one punch to the body.

In a push hands demonstration between you and CMC, my money's on him 10 to 1, your comments notwithstanding.
