Weirdness defined: sitting in the dentist's office getting my teeth cleaned when I Only Have Eyes for You comes on the radio. - David Oct 25, 09:17

20 years ago today: Evander Holyfield knocked out Buster Douglas to become heavyweight champ -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 09:04 4
- Huh, isn't Evander due another beating by a Russian not named Klitchko in a title fight? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:05
- 1 year from now, Holyfield fights Klitschko. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 09:05
- *eats a small continent* nm -- nm - Buster Douglas Oct 25, 09:04 1

Don't think I'll be getting much work done tomorrow. Elvis Costello, Neil Diamond and Paul McCartney are rehearsing during the day downstairs. -- nm - LMS Oct 25, 08:58 66
- I still think it's funny that I bought Paul a shot and he bought me one back. For the life of me, I can't remember what the shot was. Blackhaus? -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 25, 09:19 3
  - dude, you have no idea how jealous I am. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:19 2
    - have I told the whole Paul story here? about how we lived close to each other out here? -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 25, 09:22 1
      - not that it's much of a story, heh -- nm - The Legend of CQ Hollow Oct 25, 09:23
- Who? -- nm - MDH SI Oct 25, 09:08 4
  - Neil Diamond makes me think "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" -- nm - MDH Oct 25, 09:10 3

      - The rock opera...."it's like a darker Neil Diamond." "Exactly what I was going for." -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:12

- Wow. Are they all going to play together? -- nm - amoxy Oct 25, 08:59 50
  - They're all on Jools Holland tomorrow night. Technically the intro to the show is everyone jamming together but it usually sounds a mess. - LMS Oct 25, 09:02
  - The brawl for the microphone would be fun to watch. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 09:00 48
    - Not sure who would get top billing. -- nm - LMS Oct 25, 09:04 29
      - McCartney over probably anyone in music. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:09 26
        
        Bob Dylan. -- nm - TFox Oct 25, 09:15 10
        
        or Mumbles as he is otherwise known -- nm - Beaker Oct 25, 09:16 1
        
        overrated. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:17
        
        I think the only person equal to Sir Paul would have been Lennon. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:16 7
        
        among musicians, I think they'd all defer to Dylan. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 09:19 6
        
        As musicians maybe. But isn't billing about name recognition? (to me that's McCartney) -- nm - Roger More Oct 25, 09:30
        
        I dunno about that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:20 4
        
        age before beauty and all that. Like, if Johnny Cash were still around, he'd trump them. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 09:23 3
        
        isn't Dylan the same approx age as Paul? -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:24 2
        
        It's closer than I thought it was. But still I say Dylan. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 09:25 1
        
        Not to mention, Dylan was the one that introduced Paul to the wonders of drugs. - Jim Oct 25, 09:27
        
        He's plugging a re-issue of Band on the Run. -- nm - LMS Oct 25, 09:15
        
        I think he outranks Bowie and Jagger. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:10
        
        Mick is the only one that would have a shot. - Spawn Oct 25, 09:10 12
        
        Sir Elton? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 09:12 9
        
        Good one. Elton, Jagger, Bowie, Daltrey. Still Paul, though. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 09:13 5
        
        Clapton,' -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:14
        
        Where would you slot Madonna? - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:14 3
        
        Peek of the next gen. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 09:15 1
        
        Er, peak. -- nm - Spawn Oct 25, 09:20
        
        A few years ago I saw her present an award with Sir Paul. He threw his arm around her and she looked PISSED but couldn't do anything. - loosilu Oct 25, 09:15
        
        He'd maybe be on the podium. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 25, 09:13
        
        nope. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:12 1
        
        I would put him behind Paul but ahead of Mick -- nm - Strongbad Oct 25, 09:18
        
        And Gaga. nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:10 1
        
        And Avril. - Spawn Oct 25, 09:11
      - Sir Paul -- nm - Beaker Oct 25, 09:07 1
        
        no question. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:08
    - I bet no one takes a mic from McCartney. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:04 17
      - wanna bet? nm -- nm - Yoko Ono Oct 25, 09:05 3
        
        you know her vocal tracks were snuck in late at night. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:06 2
        
        (note: that is not a statement of fact, just how I envision it) -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:07 1
        
        "Hey George, something seems off on this track. have you checked the mics lately?" -- nm - Paul McCartney Oct 25, 09:08
      - Costello seems like he'd have enough of a chip on his shoulder to try. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 09:05 12
        
        hmmm, they worked together years ago. was there a falling out? -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:06 11
        
        I mean just in general. He seems feisty. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 09:06 10
        
        true, but since they did record together, I think he must have learned how to behave himself or Macca wouldn't agree to this. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:07 9
        
        "Macca", what the hell is that? -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:10 8
        
        The British tabloid nickname for him. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 09:10 7
        
        "Macca" was the nickname John and the others had for him well before the tabloids. -- nm - mara Oct 25, 09:16 2
        
        it's a common British nickname for anyone with a Mc surname. -- nm - loosilu Oct 25, 09:17 1
        
        Like Declan McManus? - Roger More Oct 25, 09:23
        
        Egads, that's horrible and no one should ever repeat it. -- nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:12 3
        
        In Australia, people go to Macca's (instead of, say, Mickey D's) -- nm - Roger More Oct 25, 09:24
        
        What's the problem? It's pretty common. It's like called a guy named "Smith" "Smitty." -- (link) - mara Oct 25, 09:18 1
        
        But he's not just "a guy". Further, at almost 70 years old, "Macca" sounds a bit ridiculous. nm - Jim Oct 25, 09:25
Italian mayor to outlaw short skirts, blasphemy and football... -- (link) - Don Homer Oct 25, 08:55 1
- he better be careful! Berlusconi will have him assasinated. -- nm - Jovian Oct 25, 08:56
Strange how how the only part of that Black Eyed Peas song that doesn't make your ears bleed is the part they "borrowed" from another song. -- nm - Ender Oct 25, 08:55
There's a 40% off coupon for Borders that expires today. You can use it on Legos. Given their inflated prices, it's a good 10% off the Amazon price. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Oct 25, 08:54 1

There's no way the Tomago looks edible in real life. -- nm - Reagen Oct 25, 08:54 1
