I have zero idea who this is. What's an ELP?
If I was offered a million to guess, I would
lose.


Emerson, Lake, and Palmer is my guess. Though I have no idea who they are.

Brains are funny.
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

One of the greats
Brain Salad Surgery was one of my all time favorite albums
They were huge Copeland fans
Nobody covered Fanfare and hoedown as well as ELP
Emerson Lake and Palmer, wow, I saw them in a theater just before Tarkus was released. $3.50 general admission sat in third row, watching him stabbing his Hammond with those huge daggers, playing the soundboard of his grand piano with a pick, awesome stuff. The guy was in a class by Himself. He was a child prodigy playing piano at 3 years old or so. The Nice which preceded ELP was also very good. You tube has Fanfare for the common man performed in an empty Montreal winter Olympic stadium in like 10 degree weather. Check it out it's great. I heard somewhere that he had bad arthritis and couldn't play professionally any more. If he did wack himself maybe that's why. R.I.P. Man I'm gettin' old.

My brother-in-law complains that he is often going to friend's funerals more often than any other social function. That's when you know you're really getting up there.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

My parents said that for the last few years they have been going to a funeral almost every week or two. That has scaled back now because they don't have many friends left.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

Sad, but true.

Would the world be better if younger men married older women instead of the other way round? It supposedly would shorten the supply of widows since both partners would pass closer together.

Huh
There was a JR ?
Is Nancy still alive?
I just know her because of the boots song
Was Jr a singer also?

You. Must. Be. Joking.

There is no way in HELL you could be that
out of the loop.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

I'm a Deadhead
Is Jr a singer?
What's his best song?
Top 40 hit?
Did his own thing or copycat of his Dad?
Not so out of the loop that I don't appreciate the chairman of the Board
I actually have a few Sinatra bootleg recordings which I really like.
He talks between songs which I like. Will often give credit to the writer and arranger before singing a song.
