Valentine
Hey all! I have to agree with Elo here. There is nothing good about Valentine's day. Here are a few reasons why: Singles feel HORRIBLE with everyone implying they are somehow inferior Couples (especially men) feel obligated to "prove" their love in materialistic ways It actually HURTS romance in a r...

Good and Great
What makes a good album is that it gets BETTER with repeated listenings, not whether or not it blows your socks off the first time you hear it. And what makes a great album is that it blows your socks off the first time you hear it, and then it gets better with repeated listenings. Good music isn't...

Sliding
I'm completely in agreement, monster machine. The sound for WUC didn't do it for me at all, and "Midnight Oil" was really the only song on there that came close to the "instant classic" style music Petra had been known for. It was like Petra was trying to go in a different direction but wasn't sure ...

Conversion
Well, the easiest and cheapest thing to do would be to go to Radio Shack and get an adapter that will allow you to plug the boom box into the mic in jack. Then you can record the cassette as a wave file (or more preferably, several wave files) and burn those onto CD. The main drawback there is that ...

Rock
The first 3 WERE rock at the time I respectfuly disagree. WWT was no more rock than disco was. Electric guitars do not a rock song make. Bob Hartman is on record (in the mid-90s he wrote out his thoughts on all the albums up to No Doubt ) as saying he didn't like WWT because it wasn't a rock album ...

Music
Some opinionated folks think rock is the only valid sort of music. I know you're just kidding, Shell, but I love many different types of music. In fact, I wouldn't complain if I couldn't listen to anything written after Mozart. But 70s power pop I cannot stand. It's not as bad as rap or modern coun...

Guitar
Wow! If he's still willing to make one in a year or so, I just might order one. It's $500 more than the Gibson I was looking at (and not as pretty), but this thing is sweet!

Goodness
what was it about that era that made Petra so good? I think Bob said it best in the Unseen Power video when he said that he and John and Dino knew each other so well they could communicate just by looking at each other. I think the whole band as well as the producers were simply on the same page, a...

First Albums
The first album has some neat guitar work but not much else (although some of the lyrics are quite funny). Come and Join Us also has some neat guitar work and is an all-around better album. It's their best pre-80s effort. Washes Whiter Than is IMHO putrid pop (with only two listenable songs), and I ...

Journey
I never saw the Journey game on Atari, but I played the arcade version. You had to guide each member to his instrument while avoiding various obstacles.

After Further Review
Upon further consideration, I could agree that Reagan should be in the top ten. Probably around 8 or so.

Reagan
Reagan was by far the best pres we have eveer had or will ever have. That depends on what factors you consider. He ended the Cold War, that's true, but when other factors are considered, I wouldn't place him nearly so high. Maybe top ten . . . maybe. Best is a virtual tie between Washington, Jeffer...

Dude, the Bible is God's word, not yours. Your interpretation of it is not more or less correct than mine is. Let me know when you can admit that, and I'll respect your views much more.
