I can handle idiot drivers when the weather is okay but when there is SNOW and ICE??

I had someone tailgating me and I had people continually pulling out in front of me (causing me to punch the breaks). They are lucky my breaks work well and that I didn't hit a patch of ice and hit them dumb butt.

Music. Seems many of todays vocalists dont have the talent like the old days where you use your real voice. I notice things, as a musician, and there are many songs on hip-hop, some easy listening, and even techno styles where the guy/girl is using a synthesizer to sing the song. Sadly, Cher is one of them. Listen closely, you can hear it. Parts where the person cant reach the note, or do multiple notes or sliding notes is done mechanically. WTH????! I think using a synth for parts of a song, or for entertainment was introduced back when Peter Frampton used one for fun, not for correction, on a couple of his songs. ("Do You Feel Like I Do') and Styx used one for the effects, not to correct themselves, in "Mr Roboto". Now I hear people doing it throughout the whole song. Heck if its that easy these days to become a singer, maybe I can get one of my grandkids to become a star. Whatever happened to real talent, before the synth came out???!
Now listen to Patsy Cline, Ann Wilson, Chrissy Steele and Darby Mills.

He used to be lead guitarist for Marilyn Manson then decided to go his own route and told Marilyn 'where to shove it'. Later he married a porn star.
His styles, though some is hard to describe, but he does a lot of bluegrass now.

I'm going to include the message you posted on the other thread, since we're talking about music.

It's strange to see somebody play a hard-rock guitar solo on a Fender Telecaster!

Yes, there is a lot of very good talent out there in music, but unfortunately the only people that get the most attention are those who do Rap and Hip Hop, which is ridiculous because record companies basically follow the trend of what is popular and what sells the most! Music is supposed to be a form of art, and I see no art in Rap or Hip Hop.

Maybe all of those employees could “walk” to work and bring a shovel? They could clear the streets and roads along the way as they head to work. It would help with the snow removal and also reduce traffic, save gas, and prevent cars being stuck in the snowdrifts.
