Beatles/Stones/U2

When I was in high school, I this cactus in my room. I would water it every few days. I had it for years. It never did anything. Then when I started my Sr year in High school, I would get up and blast the Beatles:Back in the USSR and that catus grew, sprouted new chutes and even bloomed!

BEATLES: White Album "Back in the USSR"

Stones: "Gimme Shelter" (I'm not sure if they or Grand Funk did it first. I like both versions.)

U2: "I still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" (Kind of a metaphore for my life.)

This just isn't true. Songs from the same album may sound alike, but their sound has changed many times.

I'll admit the only songs I've heard by them are their more popular songs. And they are all VERY similar. The excessive guitar effects masking lackluster playing by The Edge combined with the vast overuse of reverb on Bono's vocals make for one heck of a diverse band. Not to mention the use of the same exact chord progression an infinite number of times.

    • Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.
    • So if one of the parents wants to buy the theatre group or the band lunch they should get banned?
    • OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
