"Seeing Redd" by Frank Beddor. It's the 2nd book of a trilogy by him. He revisits Alice's Wonderland with a different take. The 1st book is called "The Looking Glass Wars". My youngest son wanted me to read these so we could have something in common to discuss. I like his writing style & story lines.

Absolutely, yes! Along with Dick Dale & Chuck Berry, these guys were the pioneers especially Les. He explored some the styles that were employed by other that followed, plus he invented some of the plug-ins so prevalent later on.

In my humble opinion, the problem with SNL is not the writers or the cast, although throughout the years some have been superior to others, it's Lorne Michaels. He's the one common denominator for the decline. He's out of touch, out of ideas & over due to be replaced.

Back at cha!!

Here's a couple more: Siouxsie and the Banshees & Squeeze.

On XM's 1st Wave they like to include American Bands like The Cars, The Ramones, Talking Heads & R.E.M., so I will too.

"Candy" by Iggy Pop.

BTW Catsloveme, if you type the left bracket symbol then url then the right bracket before the link & then left bracket symbol /url and then the right bracket after the link, it make them "hot" links.

i.e. [u r l] link [/u r l] without the spaces between the letters url.

You have me there. I'll have to check it out. Sounds like we need to get together with a 6 pack of either Guinness or Smithwick's & have a good old time listening to New Wave music.

Woo hoo!!! Holly's in the house.

Agreed about the multiple quotes. It does become a bit too much.

Agreed! I totally forgot about Flock of Seagull & Adam & the Ants. Don't forget Billy Idol's lead guitarist. He was over looked in my book. Remember when 2 of the guitar players from Duran Duran got together with Robert Palmer & the drummer from Chic, Tony Thompson, to form Power Station? "Some Like it Hot" is one of my all time favorites.

Let's include Yaz & although they're from the "land down under" I like to include them. The Fixx, The Clash, Big Audio Dynamite, Midnight Oil & INXS.

Yes I have & I found it to be unsettling. Not your average Sci-Fi movie. Parts were predictable but most were not. Also, there are some extremely graphic violent scenes, that may upset you. I had a difficult time trying to relate to it. I went into it totally knowing nothing about it. I would look for it a rental kiosk instead of paying $5 or more to watch it. There is a thread elsewhere in this forum where someone explains what the analogy is. Look under "What is the worst movie you've ever seen?" Hope this helps.

I forgot to mention Ultravox, Depeche Mode & Pet Shop Boys.

Count me in. You can find them on XM's 1st Wave & Pandora. Matter of fact they're still touring & are coming to the states later this year. As I'm writing this, "The Killing Moon" started playing on XM.

I'm a big fan of the music from the 2nd British invasion during the '80's. The Cure, The Cult, Thompson Twins, ABC, Duran Duran, Thomas Dolby, Spandau Ballet, Crowded House, Madness, Simply Red, Joe Jackson, Simple Minds, Howard Jones, New Order, The Smiths, Tears for Fears & on & on.

The Truth is Out There!

Holy crap!!! WOW!

And thought having a piece of shrapnel breaking my left femur was bad. Good thing you haven't had anyone say something trite like, "That which doesn't kill us makes us stronger".

As for my change, well, I wish my... I almost forgot myself, this is PG thread.

Am I Really That Bad!?

Yep, sure do. Agent Mulder of X Files did & that's good enough for me, lol.

Seriously, your ex is an idiot. He should have been involved in your children's lives from the outset. Unfortunately, it's guys like him that make men look bad. Maybe he's had an attack of conscience, who knows? Hopefully from here on out he'll want to be more involved. When he's not involved everyone suffers,especially the children.

I would pay good money to see that!!

My nomination is "Surveillance" by Jennifer Lynch, daughter of David of Twin Peaks fame. This absolute disaster of a movie must have gone straight to DVD. What drew me in, was Bill Pullman of Independence Day & Julia Ormond of Sabrina, were in this. Has anyone else endured this mess?
