I had the 5 man version on a K-tel Record
Back then, it was da bomb. <img class="inlineimg" src="images/icons/icon4.gif" alt="Exclamation" border="0" />

Okay this is the final word on the photo (at least from me) there is NOTHING wrong. In fact it is clearly legal. Now if you want to see an illegal pitch look no farther than the copy of Balls and Strikes ASA sent me with my recent order of caps and shirts, in that magazine is a girl leaping tall buildings. So I will say that since nobody at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium called it illegal, I will take their lead and also not call it illegal. The jewelry thing, she is an adult and adults can make there own choices regarding jewelry. Now if she was playing anything lower than U18 it comes off, minors can not (by definition) make a binding decision about jewelry.

I never proclaimed them a great band, just preferred their version, and yes, I do remember Tesla's. Then again, I prefer the Guess Who's version of American Woman to the cover done by Lenny Kravitz.

IMO, the music (and movies, for that matter) of the past 25 years are mildly good, at best. Very little originality (BTW, patching samples is not "original") and staying power. Too many remakes and covers of more recent stories and songs.

I always tell the youngsters that if today's music is so great, why are 50/60 somethings still filling stadiums, dominate the TV specials (MTV shows are not "musical specials") and dominate the musical tags for many commercials?

I once ran into a couple of mid-20s "businessmen" who were elated they scored tix to the Dave Matthews Band at Veteran's Stadium in Philly. During the conversation, one asked the other, "Who is the other band, Santana?" The response damn near floored me. "That's just some party band that travels around opening for the big names." :eek:

Before I left, I told these guys not to miss the opening act. They couldn't believe that someone had actually heard of Santana.

Add me to the 5 Man Electrical Band camp, and I'm under 45. (Okay, I'm 40, but still....).

Carlos Santana is still frammin' frets
"Smooth" Featuring Rob Thomas is a great Classic/Current blend

I'm in the plus 45 crowd.......

Who is Tesla?

Wasn't that the guy that did all the electromagnetic/electrostatic stuff in Russia back in the day?

No, Nikola Tesla did most of his research and experiments here in the US while working for Thomas Edison. His invention of the radio was his biggest claim to fame but his studies and theories helped the inception of AC current. I need to quit watching the History Channel. :D Also, he wasn't Russian, he was Serbian.

This thread is beyond hijacking. What was the subject? Cat in ASA? Cat's picture re: ASA? Jewelry? Jewelry in NFHS v NCAA? Jewelry in ASA? ISF? The weather in Seattle? Whether record sales or popular recognition has anything whatsoever to do with musicianship? Music in general? Music DJ's at weddings being a good measure of popular music? :rolleyes:

We cannot end it yet!!! We haven't even touched on politics or religion ;)

This is an easy one
 

This is an easy one - she's not wearing uniform socks!

Hey, I was actually a music major in undergrad . . .

I sense another year-long thread coming!!!!!!

Well, since I heard about this thread from SRW last night, I thought I'd check it out. I'm impressed, you guys (and ladies) certainly have taken hijacking to new heights. The only thing that I want to know is, has anyone had a visit from Homeland Security? This thread mentiones both "bombs" and "hijacking", and we all know that in this political climate, everything is being watched. So, there's the political reference, I'll leave the mention of religion to those that do a bit more God-fearing than I.

BTW -I'm almost 36, and Tesla ROCKS!!!!!!!

You're the only one who's combined all those key words into one post - you'll be the first that DHS investigates! :)
