[quote=cat_sidhe][quote=Austruck][quote=cat_sidhe]It gets a bad rap because it's ****! 

Honestly. Sit in a pub/bar that plays pop because the bar staff have no imagination. It's soul destroying and probably leads to more fights.[/quote]
I agree. I've been in venues/places where it's piped in and after 10 minutes or so I have a throbbing headache. 

Pop music in the '70s and even '80s at least seemed like different songs with different voices. Today's pop just seems to run together as one long annoying, shrill *thing* instead of actual music.

But perhaps I am just old. :D[/quote]

It's not an age thing really as I've heard people in their 20's say the same thing. So 60s to 80s and early to mid 90s gets its weirdly cult following in a sea of generic beats and autotune vox. 

Punk was a revolt against prog, grunge a revolt against hair metal...I'm expecting another revolution. 

Soon, please.[/quote]

Well, I have pictures of me inside the center, and I took a train to Houston, sooo… no, on two counts.

Nice try, though. :D[/quote]

Glad you had a great day - out of interest did you get to see the bit where they filmed the 'moon' shots??? ;)[/quote]

[quote=Austruck][quote=Chypmunk][quote=Austruck]Just got back from a trip to Houston, where I went on [b]a high-level tour[/b] of NASA Space Center. Quite an amazing day![/quote]

Pardon the probable ignorance but couldn't this simply mean you flew to Houston and back and your plane happened to fly over the facility??? :)[/quote]
Ha ha haaa!

[quote=Sedai]I am fine with them thinking they are right, just as long as they stay an inch or two out of kicking distance...A man needs to know his limitations, yea?  ;)[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Just nod and agree![/quote]

[quote=John McClane]I have also learned the all important: oh really? You don't say? That's interesting :yup: 

With the secret internal :rolleyes:[/quote]

[quote=John McClane][quote=Sedai]That wisdom starting to creep in in your old age!  ;)[/quote]You know it. As long as I know I am right then I have no problem with someone walking around being wrong. ;)[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Someone tried to argue with me about the legality of hemp in VA. They said it had never been illegal, but then they also said no one makes rope with hemp anymore. Well no shit, that's because it was illegal for half of the past century. :rolleyes:[/quote]
