Question of The Day - 12-2-11

[Question of The Day - 12-2-11]

The office party is tonight...I'm not fond of office parties, but I'm hoping the boss passes out a nice check.

[Question Of The Day 12/1/2011]

This weekend I filled up for $2.99 9/10 a gallon.

[Tom Petty in Rolling Stone (1145: 12-08-11)]

I loved when Tom was quoted as saying..."We just did some shows last weekend at a little place and most of the show, we did pretty deep album cuts. I wouldn't be surprised if that becomes more the rule than the exception"

I don't know about everyone else, but I would be happy if they would only play deep tracks from now on. I love when they pull out something and they are so surprised and happy that we love it. Surprises and varied sets really make going to a string of concerts so much more rewarding. I hope they get out there soon - with deep tracks, trying new ones, making mistakes once and awhile, and having a blast. When they are having alot of fun on stage, I think we feel it and it makes for a magical evening.

I love my shower, so I said the bathroom. I think best in the shower, maybe because I'm a Picses.

[Tom Petty mentioned in the book "Neon Metropolis"]

Oh this could be a really good paper about Tom and the boys....and maybe even the changing factors in the music scene 1990s versus now....

When you are done - I want to read it.

[Jeff Beck: 100 Greatest Guitarists of all Time]

Beautifully written...

[Question Of The Day 11/28/11]

No. I stink at trivia. But I love really good converstations that go somewhere.

[Question Of The Day 11/26/11]

I love the traditional classics, especially "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," "Silent Night," and "Oh! Come All Ye Faithful." I also love when kids sing the refrain of "Angels We Have Hear on High" - their chins raised, reaching for those notes, singing loudly.

[Happy Birthday, Marion!]

Happy Birthday - you are always so generous and kind on this forum....I hope you get at least 100 times back what you so generously give. Have a great year and a wonderful celebration.

[Question Of The Day 11/17/2011]

I would repeal the second amendment. I do not believe in the universal right to bear arms. Although I believe there are many responsible gun owners and there are reasons to own a gun, I don't believe everyone should have the right to own a gun.

[Campbell Garage Sale]

And Stevie Nick's tambourine is over $3k.....so great for those dogs.

[Poll of the day 11/16/11]

We hang ours on Christmas Eve - and every year the person who has had the "worst" year gets "The Boot" -- a potholder in the shape of a cowboy boot. It's fun to guess who is going to get it and why. We also include crazy things like an old watch (The wake up prize), deodorant (The you stink prize), candies (the you're the sweetest prize)...

I made the stockings back when I travelled all the time on business. It gave me something to do in the hotel rooms when I couldn't fall asleep.

[Question Of The Day 11/12/11]

I'm best under pressure.

[Happy Brithday SingsinFrench!]

Happy Birthday.

[Stevie Nicks’ New Single ‘For What It’s Worth’ Inspired by Tour With Tom Petty]

I wonder what happened on that tour?

[Question Of The Day 11/10/2011]

I would love a housekeeper...and if he is alive and willing that would be a welome bonus.

[Question Of The Day 11/09/2011]

I know the first and last verse...the last verse from choir (35 years ago) - that is my favorite one.

Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war's desolation!

Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

[Poll of the day 11/7/11]

That is an absolutely impossible questions. I adore them all.....especially Mike, and Benmont, and Ron.....and Tom.....

[TomPetty.com Shuts Down Their Message Boards]

Now that is a bummer and complete BS.

Oh well....I'm glad we have the farm. No one tells me I don't exist here.

[TomPetty.com Shuts Down Their Message Boards]

I can't remember my login name it's been so long since I used it...and although the site told me that it would email me a reset link, it didn't. I've always seemed to have technical problems when it comes to www.tompetty.com. Now, after hearing this, I'm glad for techical issues. And even more happy that this site is so friendly and filled with really nice and gentle people.

[Question Of The Day 11/05/2011]

"For What It's Worth" Buffalo Springfield and Stevie Nicks (I guess I am stretching this since Stevie Nicks isn't technically a band).

[Thank you, Ryan.]

Thanks Ryan.

[Jackson Browne Concert Nov 17]

Wow - it sounds so warm. Please make sure to tell us how it turns out. I hope it is magical.

[I Can't Believe...]

I can't believe David Arquette was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars, but Nancy Grace remains. :eek:

I know. That woman drives me nuts. At her age she should be more gracious, and thankful. I feel sorry for her partner.
