QUOTE Stupidsurgeon,



You mention being familiar with the funky piece of music that was used as the intro to \"Dog Eat Dog.\"  Although I have a general familiarity to many Talking Heads tunes, I didn't realize that Al and the band were alluding to a specific song there.



I'm dying of curiosity....what Talking Heads song was that funky intro referencing?



I'm not sure which song it is. We were watching the Talking Heads DVD, Stop Making Sense, and while watching it you definitely notice the intro music to DED is from one of the songs. Sorry I can't tell you which one, this was a friend's DVD while I was in Chicago.

Well unless the treasurer has been feeding me incorrect numbers, we're not quite up to "almost $1500" yet.

Yeah, sorry about that, Dave. I thought we should have a separate post for reviews, since the initial posts were about meeting each other and are no longer really valid. I had also myself thought the initial topic should be locked and I appreciate you already doing so. Hope it didn't cause too much rancor.

Um ...



But the left column of your website says you have $1,333.35. And it was, as I recall, at that amount on Friday morning when i'd last checked before the concert.



And isn't $1,333.35 "almost $1500"??? ... I mean, I didn't say "almost $2000" or something. I hope you don't think I was trying to misrepresent the Star Project to Jon, Dave -- 'cause I wasn't trying to.



[And BTW, folks, I've scanned all my pics and am finishing up my concert review and temporary website for it. I'll post the info on it VERY soon.]



Anyway, sorry if there was any confusion, Dave. I mean, I would NEVER think of upsetting the man who could summarily banish my sorry keester from this forum forever ... right?? ... B-buddy?? ... Ch-ch-chum???????? :nervous:

This Compleat-Al-owning-mama-bear will run interference for you, Jim.

It does. And it did.

And isn't $1,333.35 "almost $1500"???

So Doc, it's okay if I pay you $1,333.35 for a procedure that costs $1500? It's almost $1500.



Maybe to you they're essentially the same. Or in the context of your talk with Bermuda it was obvious what you meant, but some people might think $1500 is a long way from $1333.35. It's all perspective. I just don't want to cause any confusion.



Saying "almost $1500" isn't necessarily accurate while saying "over $1300" is.
