How about a weekly or monthly event at the store where you give people 10 minutes each to strut their best stuff? -------------------------------------------- We pretty much do that already. Every Thursday night we host an Open Mic from 6pm to 10:30 or so. Some performers are very, very good. Some should never quit their day jobs. But, it's all for fun. We also have hosted some mini-concerts for performers who are trying to take a serious step towards major recording contracts, etc. One young lady has just about made it. Another is doing a concert November 19th. I don't charge people for this. I actually enjoy having them perform and I get a kick out of recording them live and running the sound system to try and make them sound as good as possible. I get help from others in the industry also who really have a passion for this this stuff. I enjoy it, but I really am not a very good musician so, I stick to the amps, mixers, PA systems, etc. I occasionally sit in with a band either strumming a guitar or trying to play the Hammond to add a little effect. If you go to the shop's website and click on the "YouTube" logo, it will take you to the shop's YouTube channel. There you can view over 140 videos of various people performing on the shop stage, most from Open Mic nights, but some from mini-concerts. The video and audio varies from so-so to halfway decent, depending on what equipment I was using at the time and when it was done. The shop website URL is: www.re-tunes.net |

CNN may be the most balanced, based on the fact that both sides are ****ed at them. ;-) CNN is corporate news. They're anything but in the middle. PBS and BBC are closer to real news. |

I bet you think Rachel is fair and balanced too. No, but she's a ****load more intellectually honest than her counterparts on the right. I got tired of the noise and cut them all off. Did you watch the Zbig interview from Morning Joe? |

Does that mean that a conservative minded individual of similar personal economic/financial status, but *not* a strong supporter of trade unionism may be subject to Wall Street protestors at their door? I know many "Social Democrats" who are very tight and protective of their personal wealth, whatever it may be. I also know of hard core Conservatives who routinely share what extra they may have without hesitation to help others. I don't think that political ideology dictates one's sense of responsibility to their fellow man, despite the current myriad attempts to convince otherwise. It's a personal, morality based choice .... not a politically derived directive. Eisboch Pelushi has been on the outs with 0bama ever since 0bama's eat the rich speech. So have a few other democrats, so much so 0bama couldn't get his legislation past the democrats, forget the GOP and Tea Party. -- Eat the rich, screw the companies and wonder why there are no jobs. But we have big huge government we can't afford... -- Obama and the lefty fleabagger attitude |

It's a personal, morality based choice .... not a politically derived directive. Eisboch I don't read or see much of "hard core Conservatives" engaging in discussions or activities aimed at fulfilling "one's sense of responsibility to their fellow man." I won't disagree that in times gone by, pre-Reagan, many Republicans were involved in activities to help the less fortunate. Nowadays, not so much. Responsibility to fellow man means a hand up, not a hand out. Fleabeggars want hand outs not hand ups. Simple, let the fleabeggars soften up and get some humility, when they are ready to fix their problems the problem will be solved. -- Eat the rich, screw the companies and wonder why there are no jobs.
