Frank Zappa quote

I'm a huge fan of Duke Ellington, Artie Shaw, Bennie Goodman, Sinatra, Billie Holliday, and so many more from the 30s and 40s. But I will listen to just about anything. High Point where I live is home to the John Coltrane Jazz and Blues Festival, each Labor Day Weekend. We'll be there again this year. And I'm an avid rock listener. At Davidson College in the early '70s, we had a student-run FM station. I was the operations manager. We played classical, jazz, blues, folk, funk, rock, hard rock, acid rock, punk, a smidge of country, trance, dance, disco, big band, soul, comedy, show tunes... pretty much whatever. If it was interesting and clean enough for airplay, we played it.

Lately, I'm a huge fan of three classically trained kids who've been playing rock since they were 7, 10, and 12. They just played to sold out crowds across Europe and the UK, and sold out 10,000 seats at a concert in Mexico City — to be held in February of 2025 — in one hour. The story of how three little bilingual Mexican Catholic school kids would revive rock music for Generation Z is an inspiration and a half. It's a deep rabbit hole of a story full of positivity and hope.

Minnesota Public Radio has a local station called The Current. No commercials (public radio) except their own promotional spots. They will play just about anything, and there are several different weekly programs focusing on local (Minnesota) music or different genres, etc.

YEP. Classic Zappa. It's along the lines of the Nike slogan, "Just Do It."

Really? You cannot come up with something original like your own thoughts?


Have you ever been inspired by another person?
Aside from being a fan of Frank Zappa, I like to take an interest in what moves or inspires others.

First I heard such a rumor. I'd sooner give up photography than have to twist my lenses the wrong way.

Canon A-1
Charles Whittier wrote:
I just was given a Canon A-1 very good condition and workable (after getting new battery from Amazon).
Looking for ideas of subject matter that would be worth shooting a roll of film and prosessing cost. I have a new roll of Fuji 200 to use.
Any ideas?

Great camera!! I used to have one and it was a lot of fun to shoot with. If you got the 50mm lens with it I would suggest a few people photos and a stroll through the nearest town.

A Hate Crime
jerryc41 wrote:
It does seem to be a stretch, but knocking down an 84-year-old woman vs doing the same to a 6' 5" 250 lb man probably figures into it. There should be an increased penalty for that.

A hate crime (also known as a bias-motivated crime or bias crime) is a prejudice-motivated crime, which occurs when a perpetrator targets a victim because of their physical appearance or perceived membership of a certain social group.


We could do away with hate crimes if, as a society, we actually started treating everyone the same.

Rant for all Eternity — Did you read it?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts (very sedate rant, if you ask me) about something many of us (mostly men) neglect to do before or after obtaining whatever new gadget we have decided is as necessary as food water and shelter!
I myself have tossed far more owners manuals than I have ever read.

I know the Iphone 12 I had did have the port. The Iphone 15 does have a port but I am not sure it's thunderbolt or USB C. Yes you can plug a cable into it. But all the Iphone only allow 1 way transfer that is out of the phone but not into the phone via cable.


Incorrect. Apple and aftermarket devices are available to transfer data to the iPhone from other devices. Memory cards with photos. I do it frequently.

Sirius XM Being Sued
therwol wrote:
I read about the lawsuit. In the past, every time I've tried to cancel, they've worked out a deal I could live with. I finally decided to ditch them, and it was actually easy. One week after the radio went silent, I got an email with an offer I couldn't refuse. 5 bucks a month plus the royalty fee for 2 years with a right to cancel at any time. It's the only game in town if you want to listen to 40s music, so I took it. We'll see what happens in 2 years.


This is the same deal I got about nine months ago. Since then I purchased a different vehicle with a free 90 day subscription. Sirius actually transferred my $5.00/month subscription to the new car, put it on hold and turned on the free subscription for the 90 day trial, then restarted the $5.00/ month subscription. All without my intervention. Maybe all of that happened because they know me already. I have cancelled many subscription plans with them in the past when listening patterns change.
Good luck and Happy New Year everyone!!!
