The band thinks it's their worst effort.

Surely you can't argue with Rolling Stone.

Jerry Garcia? The maitre 'd at Morton's in Reston, Virginia?

Psst......musical taste is a personal choice kind of thing. Who gives a sh it what anyone else says. It's all about who each person likes.

Except in the case of Jerry Garcia and Miles Davis.

Back in '62, did Herman's Hermits edge out Petula Clark? I can't seem to recall.

Lack of interest?

I saw a lot of good shows in the 90s. The run at the Garden in 1990 was epic.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure Coldplay has gotten critical acclaim as well, and they suck ass.

The sad truth is it's best to like bands that nobody else likes ( relatively speaking of course ). It makes it easier and more enjoyable to see them. Popularity brings people that are only there because they think it's the thing to do....and they end up talking through the entire show ( and, of course, sitting behind me ).

OK, I have nothing to add on the music disussion -- however, the trainer responsibility rule is a tough one. While I sympathize and empathize with the trainer, the trainer is the one who is "there", on-sight, everyday. Not at every division of course, but the respective assistant trainer, someone on their payroll, who they are in fact responsible for is there everyday.

There has to be some accountability there, some ultimate responsibility. Perhaps the trainer responsibility rule as it stands is not ideal, maybe it needs to be revised or amended. Years ago, in the standardbred business (in NJ, I don't know about elsewhere), many trainers used to take advantage of a "loophole" in the rule. The trainer would list themselves (in the program) as the head trainer and the assitant would be listed as the assistant trainer. If a positive test occured, or some other violation that resulted in days -- the assistant could take the days. I believe they did away with the "loophole" but I am not sure.

It is for these reasons that I have trouble with the implementation of the owner responsibility rule. I think in it's most strict form it is nothing more than a strong arm way of forcing owners into a limited universe of hiring a trainer. However, I see that being a problem as well. In a myopic view I am sure many people would say that's a good thing -- that's the desired result. In a more global setting I think this could have many negative ramifications. There has to be another answer or answers.

Bruce Levine commented the potential "sabotage" aspect or someone who might "spike" a horse (note -- he made these comments after his barn tested negative). That has to be a concern. How can someone deal with that? Contamination is always an issue. Split samples as well. Regardless, hold me ultimately responsible for everything that goes on, when I am not there everyday, that is a tough bullet to bite. Should I ask Levine to sign something? Tell him not to do anything "aggressive" or not treat my horses with such and such? And, what happens when a positive test occurs? How does this play out? I think this is a very complex issue and one that is not so easy to address.

Eric

The show, which I was fortunate enough to go to because of a very kind member of this board, ended an hour ago.

How much more do you want to brag about seeing Pearl Jam play a killer set in a tiny venue?

Enough already.


Should I start blabbing about how great it was tonight to see Motley Crue play a whole 1 hour and 20 minute set? The great thing though was all the chicks there were the same ones who went to see them in the 80's....and now these chicks are like 60. Nothing like seeing 60 yr old chicks wearing tight clothes in 85 degree humidity. I shoulda got DrugS a ticket...even he woulda had a shot of getting some a$$.
