- I think Cher will do a farewell to farewell tours next, her finalist farewell tour ever -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 25, 14:11
- So that's Elton John, Lynyrd Skynrd, Slayer, am I missing anyone else on a farewell tour? -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 08:37 19
  - Aren't the Eagles due for another one? -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 08:44 1
    - They're going on tour this year. 2 shows in Boston in July. -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 08:47

  - I know this Elton John's farewell tour, but is he going to give up the Vegas gigs after the tour as well? -- nm - pmb Jan 25, 08:39 14
    - That's be a different tour -- nm - prayformojo Jan 25, 08:43 6
      - the "I Really Mean It This Time" tour. -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 08:44 5
        
        What is he? The Who? -- nm - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 25, 08:48 1
        
        Starlord, man. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 08:49

        and Kiss does it every year, your point? -- nm - groiny Jan 25, 08:48 1
        
        41 years since he did. He might mean it this time? -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 08:49
    - He says it's "farewell" and he won't pull a Cher, but who truly knows. -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 08:41 5
      - He said he plans to keep doing Vegas shows. -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 08:42 4
        
        I figured. Touring is different than having the residency. It allows him to still perform and be there for his family. -- nm - pmb Jan 25, 08:43 1
        
        this - as well as everyone else in the company. It's what made working with and for Celine's show so wildly popular in Vegas. -- nm - Diva Jan 25, 08:48
        
        Oh okay, got it. Thanks! -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 08:42 1

- But he is -- (link) - ty97 Jan 25, 08:27 38
  - which one of his 14 houses did he announce this at? - Beaker Jan 25, 08:43
  - And he might be. -- (link) - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 08:38 12
    - Woohoo! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 25, 08:41
    - This is exactly why the Democrats are a mess. They have zero leader. No, just stop it folks, someone new, please. -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 08:39 8
      - Please define how you restrict someone from running that doesn't make them look worse. -- nm - Reagen Jan 25, 08:44 2
        
        You don't restrict him. You tell he he has to switch to Democrat and stop this independent BS. It hurt the vote and party. -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 08:48 1
        
        That's a restriction though. (And he did switch for 2016, didn't he?) -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 08:49
      - [deleted]
      - The only one of the old guard that I might support is Biden. Not because he's necessarily the best candidate, but I think he's one of the few that - pmb Jan 25, 08:42 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 08:47
      - Well, that is what started this thread. SHE SAID NO!!!! -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 08:40
    - Please no. -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 08:39 1
      - Romney vs Kerry - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 25, 08:40
  - god please no. -- nm - Remlik Jan 25, 08:37
  - For what party? I hope the Democrats don't let him near anything. -- nm - MDH Jan 25, 08:37 1
    - They don't really get a choice, anyone can run as Dem. - ty97 Jan 25, 08:38
  - whoa -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 08:28 20
    - least surprising thing ever -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 08:28 19
      - i am surprised actually. (not by Oprah, at all. But by Bernie running again.) I am happy about it though. -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 08:29 18
        
        I've always assumed he was running (and that she almost certain was not) -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 08:30 17
        
        [deleted]
        
        (note: I wish he would not. Leave 2016 in the past) -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 08:31 15
        
        I agree. I respect his conviction and he is right about some things, but he is wrong about just as many and would essentially be a reactionary - pmb Jan 25, 08:38 10
        
        [deleted] 5
        
        From an outsider's perspective - Strongbad Jan 25, 08:49
        
        I'm aware of turnout issues and maybe his base is big enough to be effective, but I still don't think it's the best thing for the country. -- nm - pmb Jan 25, 08:44 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        Could he get the nom though after 2016? -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 08:41 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        There's just so much bad blood from 2016 (and that's super mostly not on him) that it would immediately drag the race down. - ty97 Jan 25, 08:40 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        We just need a clean slate. That's not 'fair' to Hillary or Sanders, but it's necessary -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 08:42 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        I cannot get enthusiastic about anyone in their 70s or 80s as a candidate. -- nm - mara Jan 25, 08:35 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 25, 08:46
        
        i haven't read the link yet - is he running democrat or can he run as an independant? -- nm - Andie Jan 25, 08:34 1
        
        TBF the link says he hasn't made a decision and that this was a feasibility meeting but I expect he runs. He'd have to run Dem if he wants a shot. - ty97 Jan 25, 08:36
After ten to fifteen minutes of listening to K yell “I’m hungry!” from down stairs, I’d had it. He finally huffed upstairs. - Beryllium Jan 25, 08:20 3

Zero-fee crypto trading? -- (link) - David Jan 25, 08:18 2
- very interesting. the reason why people use coinbase is to the USD to BTC in order to buy crypto - do we know if Robinhood offers that feature? - Epiphany Jan 25, 08:34
- As an FYI, GDAX (owned by Coinbase) I think does this also. I've read many suggestions to load with Coinbase, transfer to GDAX, then to your exchange -- nm - just oblique Jan 25, 08:29

So someone thinks the answer to football losing viewership is more football with lower quality play? -- nm - GregW Jan 25, 08:10 3

- you should buy one -they'll probably be really cheap! -- nm - decline Jan 25, 08:06 2
  - Not sure anyone is buying them anymore. Dated gas-guzzling technology and an expensive FAR to be completed by 2020 - ty97 Jan 25, 08:23
  - That’s like the 100-200 foot yachts/cruise ships/research boats that I see that are like $400K. The yearly maintenance is at least that amount over. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 25, 08:10

    - *re-endorses your honorary gay card* -- nm - ty97 Jan 25, 07:55 1
      - Since Diva's card was embossed, laminated, and otherwise set in stone ages ago, you'd better break out the chisel. -- nm - Trans-SiBaron Orchestra Jan 25, 08:03
