Former pitcher Ken Holtzman
Hello,

I remember him as being pretty good for the Cubs - I had his baseball card. RIP, Ken.
Won a couple of titles with the soon to be defunct Oakland Athletics.

Re: The Kaleb Horton Deceased Latvian Foreign Minister Thread, 2024 Edition

Credit for Live Aid and all that, but does anyone remember/respect Geldof as a musician? It's fine to like a few songs and whatever, but nobody is ever speaking about him and Joe in the same breath. I guess it was good to bring awareness to the famine and general awareness of a very overlooked cont...

Re: The grocery store (and gas station) music thread

Nice enough sweet but just a bit chewy for my liking and annoying tendency to get stuck in your teeth. Funnily enough, i was only remembering this ad very recently for some reason. https://youtu.be/qqCZe3WA-zE Wow. This commercial just screams mid-90's!? You’d think Hoy would reconsider his positio...

Re: The All Smiths/Morrissey Thread

Who's read Morrissey's Autobiography ? Is it worth my time, even as a hate-read? I love it... every other page had something that made me laugh out loud - usually, it was the bitterness and venom with which he described people (judges, teachers, politicians, royalty etc.) I can see how some don't l...

Re: The Kaleb Horton Deceased Latvian Foreign Minister Thread, 2024 Edition

And of course Bob Geldof famously prematurely announced the death of Ian Dury during his brief career as a radio host. According to his wiki page: The event caused music paper NME (who had been involved in a running feud with Geldof since his Boomtown Rats days—primarily due to his disparagement of...

Bringing it all together, I just came across this JDB quote: "I always wanted to be famous, like Napoleon. Then I discovered The Clash... and my destiny was pre-determined."

Re: The Manic Street Preachers Discussion MegaThread

https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/manic-street-preachers-lifeblood-20th-anniversary-reissue/ I'm on the fence about buying this one. The original was mastered well, so not sure what could be improved. I also already own the B-sides. That said, I'm glad this album is getting a reappraisal. It was a...

Re: Hey Flex (All Encompassing 90's Glorification)

Just curious where would I have heard them? Ive been married since 92 and raising kids since 96, so there wasnt any clubbing going on. During the 90s I actually listened to a fair amount of folk music as well as exploring punk and other rock music (Stooges, MC5 etc) that I wasnt exposed to pre-inte...
