I saw JJW in the late '70s at USM. He hadn't aged well then.

Emma, Invictus, and Stephen,


Pardon me for posting a non-Shelby Thames item.  I know that's never happened in the history of this message board.   I just returned from a local CD release extravaganza at Waterloo Records,  where I encountered the afore mentioned Jerry Jeff.  He looked even worse than usual.  Several years ago JJ made a big deal of his announcement that he was giving up tobacco, booze and drugs in favor of jogging and a healthy lifestyle.  As far as I know he's been true to his word, but those early years weren't kind to him.  Jerry Jeff was quite a character on and off stage but he was never much of a singer to begin with and now he can barely croak out a song. He has that rode hard and put away wet look. His son Django is a much better singer and a pretty fair songwriter.


AE

AE, why don't you do us all a favor and go find a country music message board. That goes for Invictus and Judd and Emma too. This junk is a waste of our time and has no place on the AAUP board.

Hall Monitor, you must be a newbie. Off-topic discussions are frequently interesting and enjoyable. AE, Emma, and Invictus are among our oldest and most beloved posters, although I thought I was gonna have to send AE & Dr. I to the (cold) showers while ago on a different thread.

But you probably hate Monique too.

I disagree. AE's post was appropriately noted as off-topic, and those who care to respond to it are building the kind of communicative context that Stephen Judd referenced on another thread. There's a feet-on-the-table-among-friends informality that's charming, plus a chance--for me, at least--to learn about a phenomenon I hadn't heard of.

Strictly speaking, OT posts should probably have their own labeled thread, but things are quiet AND the shift in tone represents to my mind a resolution of some of the earlier tension.

Just my 0.0110GBP.

I tend to skip the sports pages. If it doesn't interest you, you don't have to

Oops, sorry for the confusion. I meant to say--before I hit Send and noticed the rest of the text--that I tend to skip the sports threads because I'm pretty lost with sports. One doesn't have to read every thread. JL

There is the evidence! JJW was at USM in the late '70s!  He's a subject, albeit a bit off topic, but it makes a few of us smile (who do post about more serious matters) and confuses the trolls.


So, with this in mind, was Leon Russell ever at USM for anything. I saw him in 2000 at the Beau Rivage (or maybe Casino Magic), and he looked like a wreck as well, with a teleprompter showing him the words to sing at his piano. I remember him from his glory days of the 70's when he had a music studio in Tulsa OK. Now, if Leon Russell has NO USM connection - fuggetaboudit.

My dear sir, there are so many better things you could have said. Observe!

Lucid vividness, naturally.

Learned, vital, noble,

Legendary, virtuous naiad!

Leader very newly

Laughing�verbiage notwithstanding.

Luxuriously vociferous nightly--

Lovingly veracious, nevertheless.

Yours, CDB

Don't we have an emoticon for blushing and bowing?

Thanks CdB! However, don't forget:

Loses Voice Nagging

Leaves Vehement Notes

Learns Virtually Nothing

And I think that's probably enough.

An examination of the most recent five threads posted on the message board shows that 198 posts were made anonymously and 20 were made under the poster's real name (Judd posted 20, Lares posted 1, and Fose posted 1). An examination of the most recent five entire threads of posts shows that all threads but 2 were initiated by anonymous posters. This information might be of value when the merits of anonymous postings are being discussed. If I can find the time I'll go back to earlier threads and see if this pattern has changed over time. Meanwhile, draw your own conclusions.       


"There has been a tendency to denigrate gossip as sloppy and unreliable" and unworthy of serious study, said David Sloan Wilson, a professor of biology and anthropology at the State University of New York at Binghamton and the author of "Darwin's Cathedral," a book on evolution and group behavior. "But gossip appears to be a very sophisticated, multifunctional interaction which is important in policing behaviors in a group and defining group membership."


When two or more people huddle to share inside information about another person who is absent, they are often spreading important news, and enacting a mutually protective ritual that may have evolved from early grooming behaviors, some biologists argue.


Long-term studies of Pacific Islanders, American middle-school children and residents of rural Newfoundland and Mexico, among others, have confirmed that the content and frequency of gossip are universal: people devote anywhere from a fifth to two-thirds or more of their daily conversation to gossip, and men appear to be just as eager for the skinny as women.
