Conference 7.286::sports_90

    I just saw a p_name in heavy_metal that is worth mentioning.
    
    "On a beer day, you can pee forever"

     Hey Devil Dog.....
    
     That sounds like one you'd like, having to do with beer and all !!
    
    Big Game

    Al Cote deserves an award for his one-liners!
    
              REK

    I deserve NOTY for being the FIRST to travel 3,000 miles to break bread 
    with the elite SPORTS noters.
    
    My campaign speaks for itself.
    
    Mike

Brahma feces....

I traveled 3000+ to have beer with JD, and take in a Seahawks game,
AND watch the Giants kill the Gawks the nexted week.

Plus, I also knocked Kelly Stouffer on his butt.....

So there,
Chainsaw

    Chainsaw, you have to meet at least 12 noters to qualify.
    
    Mike

    Big Deal Mike.
    
    I relocated 3,000 miles so that I could travel 3,000 miles back
    in order to meet with the SPORTS noters!  Beat that!  
    
    I deserve it.
    
    JD

Mike, 12 noters?  What is it, the Last Supper????

Besides, I met Les and Bob.  Les can talk so loud they could
have heard him back in Maynard, and Bob has some wonderful scotch-induced
views on Sports.

In my SPORTS Noter Godhood, I endowed upon the the Legendary Sixfold Noter
award, thus I met 12 noters, and with JD that makes lucky 13...

So there....;^)

Chainsaw

Actually, I think we should give it to Samantha, since she notes with
that cute english accent....

I know Mike JN will back me up on this one, right???? ;^)


Chainsaw

    
    I don't want any award because I don't deserve one.
    
    So there.

    I agree with -Dick.

    I do too.  He's not deserving of any awards.

    Chainsaw, actually I met 16 while back east alone.  I was trying to
    make it easy for you.
    
    Mike

    But Mike, I hosted a Sox/Tigermania attended by 64! folks, then
    relocated and came back!!!!  Beat That!!!
    
    JD

Oh well, I guess if we're adding up miles it won't make me win...

But I did knock Kelly Stouffer on hit butt....you can even axe JD....

later,
chainsaw

    I interrupt this silly arguement to let all you folks know that I found
    GOD lasted night while watching the Stones concert on PPV, simulcasted
    at high volume, keeping the kiddies up..........
    
    And the real GOD is.........
    
    [technoweenie form feed goes here]
    
    			Eric Clapton!
    
    I don't care if this is sports- Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael
    Jordan, Joe Montana, Doug Flutie, Willie Shoemaker, Arnold
    Schwarzennegger, etc., etc. cannot even come close to filling-out
    Eric's G-string........  Oh, and Mick Jagger is his SON!
    
    This should end all the [name some false jock] is GOD hypocrisies!
    
    HTH.
    
    Hawk

    
    No way Hawk, psuedo-god maybe. Jimi is/was god. and Keith Richards
    didn't miss may notes last night either. Boy were they tight, the sound
    unbelievable definately the WORLD'S GREATEST ROCKIN AND ROLL BAND....
    
    
     mike

Hawk,

I think you'll find myself and a certain Ms. Derry in total 
agreement with ya.

EC plays licks in his sleep that the other guys couldn't do on 
the best day....

daryll

    
    Stones = trash = overrated = riding on their own image
    
    Clapton on Crossroads = awesome...
    

>                     -< Clapton too technical no emotion >-

What???!!  

Due to his strong closing on the year, my vote for NOTY will be cast for:

                             Frank `Chainsaw' Way

Who brings humor, objectivity, sexual updates, and a manly attitude to this
Notesfile.

                So let it be written...... So let it be done!

Mike JN

Clapton is superb.

A friend relates the thrill of getting tickets to see Clapton live
a Fillmore East.  The big night had arrived, he was in the audience.

The curtain rose.  Two roadies walked EC out to a stool on stage.
The music starts.  EC plays about two bars worth, and falls flat
on his face.  

The two roadies come out, pick up EC, dust him off, take him backstage.
Concert ends....

Don't know whether he got his money back or not.


Comparing guitarists is like trying to decide if Eddie Murphy is funnier
that Cosby.  Both are hilarious, both work with extremely different types
of comedic vehicles.

Same with Hendrix/Clapton.  Analyzing the situation using knowledge gained
as a music major, Hendrix was an innovator, perhaps the greatest innovator
of his time.  (Every major musical period had its innovators and 
its culmintors.  i.e.  the Classical period's innovator was Mozart,
while Beethoven was its culminator).  Hendrix was the greatest innovator
of his time.

Clapton is not an innovator, but he is superb....

Oh well,
Chainsaw

    
    Karen, he's too smooth for my taste. Just seems to me that he combines
    the best of all styles and play that way. No rough edges. No mistakes.
    He's arguable the best guitar player around but just doesn't strike
    any emotional response from me with his playing. It's great to listen
    too but I just don't feel anything when he plays. Now Jimi on the
    other hand, has me hanging on to every note feeling pain, enjoyment
    etc....
    
    mike

    
    Carl Palmer couldn't hold Mickey Dolenzs' jock strap.
                                              ^^^^^^^^^^

Ahem....


Elastic Filbert Carrier please...


Chainsaw, Supreme Kommandant, KGP    
    

    How many times has Carl Palmer won the big one?? What was the score in
    the last AFC Championship game when Palmer played Dolenz??  Who has
    been named MVP more times???  Who averages more ppg??
    
    Enquiring minds want to know..
    
    jab
    

Has Carl Palmer played this year?

    Bruce Springsteen = overrated stiff!
    

    HAHAHAHAHAHA! (tm)  I still gots my junk-noting touch, I see!
    
    Sorry Mikey, too late, but Eric won the GOD award already!  :-)
    
    And Steven, Mickey Dolenz makes Ringo Starr look real good!  :-)
    
    And, back to the topic- Sports' NOTY for '89.......
    
    	My final vote is cast.  The Night Before Christmas parody with
        Lufay putting antlers on the OURGNG computer and then BLAMming it
    	has made me vote unanimously for the that mountainman technoweenie 
    	sheep-scarer from lovely sub-urban Hebron, the Chainsaw himself!
    
    Hawk

    correction WATERboy
    
    Bruce Springsteen - the E-Street Band = overrated stiff
    
    Claybone

    
    Jimi Hendrix'''''''s style of playing can still be heard from Robin
    Trower, although it's been a while since he's done anything new, I
    think.  Clapton and Jeff Beck are my favorites.  And on a side note one
    of my favorite songs/guitar solos is played by Dickie "at the time",
    Richard "now" Betts (?), Blue Sky/Allman Brothers.  
    
    I birdie told me Santa will be dropping off a Clapton CD for me this year.
    
    					Steve

Bruce Springsteen   :=   The Larry Bird of Music
Prince              :=   The Michael Jordan of Music


Eric Clapton picking his G-String may get some people off, but the
Boss live is unapproachable.   

    I saw Springsteen in '77 or '78 at the Music Hall (Wang Center now).  
    He did three encores and had to be carried off on a stretcher.  Of
    course, this was when you could get tickets to see the guy at an indoor
    concert.

    	bird = springsteen?
    
    	That's why I can't stand Bird...  Thanks for clearing that up!
    :)
    

    Joe Satriani rooolz!  Van Halen, Jimi, Steve Vai, Beck, Clapton, and
    everyone else want to play like Satch when they grow up!
    
    Mike

    re .36
    
    Doug, for once you've said something taht I can agree with 1,000
    percent. 
    
    Even Gronowski hit it on the head - Springsteen is an overrated,
    hyped, stiff, promoted by the powers-that-be as an answer for Micheal
    Jackson.
    
    And Prince is a GENIUS - and the baddest you-know-what out there
    today.
    
    And that's a fact.

    VOTE FOR THE DOCTOR - THE PEOPLE'S NOTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prince is about as innovative as a toadstool.  He has taken overworked,
underated trite musical ideas and wrapped them up in a new paisley
cover.  He ain't a great culiminator either.

At least Hendrix was moving more and more toward the avant garde.  
(Had Hendrix lived I truly think that today he'd be involved with
composers like Cage, Stockhausen, Penderecki, Ligetti in pushing
the limits of music to new frontiers)

Satriani is way cool.


JMHO,
Chainsaw (who's done some pretty mean avant garde stuff himself)

    doc,
    
    just a question, if  springsteen  was a black musican , would be
    be good then??
    
    
    dinz
    

    Dinz and Doc,
    
    I suggest that you take that discussion to MAIL.  This is not the
    appropriate forum.

    Dinz, Springsteen isn't even a good white musician!  I can play what he
    plays (along with the rest of the mainstream artists)!
    
    Re: Prince
    
    If sex didn't sell, his popularity ranking would be up there with
    Zamfir and Slim Whitman (i.e., available through Ronco only).
    He's a very mediocre player.
    
    Mike
    

    re-.1 prince
    I wholeheartedly agree.  The only thing the shrimp sells is SEX.
    Anbd where I live, that's against the law...er, but that's slighlty
    different sales methods...

    That was Prince waiting our table at the Grotto lasted week weren't it?

'Saw

.46 earns you my vote.

Hell, the stiff did the music for Batman and most of the crap 
ended up on the floor. The stuff they did use was appropriately 
used in the Joker scenes.

Spud, Is this geek a living legend up in Minn. or what?

    Prince is no Tone Loc.... Tone's "got it goin' on..." does
    Prince?  "And he's on fire!"
