My favorite version of that song...
my mistake.... not Jutland, Dardenelles...
Astonishingly incompetent in WW1 (Gallipoli, Jutland...), but the right man at the right time in WW2: for all his faults, Britain needed someone who embodied his resolve, audacity & fearlessness to fight Hitler.
Course, he then fucked up the British withdrawal from the Middle East during '51-'55.
A fanbase that votes a rookie coming of the bench, & averaging 7.6 ppg & 1.3 apg, to start the all-star game cannot be taken seriously.
Couldn't beat Nash & his team of misfits without the upgrade to Metta World Peace & Pau Gasol
John 3:16
lol.... Kobe isn't even the 3rd best Laker of all time.
Jon Bon Jovi is the good Gene Simmonds: same approach to music production, marketing, etc... but more a decent human w. better songs.
Except the rest of Bon Jovi, aside from Richie, were in fact hired musicians & not actually part of the band, which let JBJ keep most of the royalties.
ABA-era Dr J.
C'mon, not remotely almost: Sixers stole the 1st game vs the Lakers & lost in 5...
But it's not like the rest of that Sixers squad was a bunch of scrubs, either: Mutumbo, McKie, Snow, Raja Bell, etc... A team good enough in the East, but not enough to go head-to-head against Shaq & the Lakers
What Tom Waits once called an "immaculate confection": Kobe's legend was cultivated by an LA sports media (JA Adande, etc...) desperate for their own Jordan figure.
But his contemporaries did consider him genuinely great.
Also, AI's defense in the pros was flashy wrt stats but not actually good.
“The bird that would soar above the plain of tradition and prejudice must have strong wings. ” -- Douglas Adams
At the same time, I can't think of a single Ellroy film adaptation that felt it necessary to remain as "intense with the language" as the original novel was.
"Keep your shoes on." -- Uma Thurman's advice to Maya Hawke, when the latter was approached about working with QT.
I'm torn between Samuel L Jackson saying he's completely ok with it, & the fact that Tarantino is possibly the most pretentious, douchebag egomaniac in the entire industry.
Brain fart... the album is called Another Green World...
This one played on Another Green Planet
And to be clear... I'm not talking about single campaigns with a 12% hit rate...
more about 12% of X's audience buying something based on what they've seen. Less spectacular, for sure, but probably way better than TV/Radio/print used to see.
that's true... my bad: I should be clearer that's really what I was talking about.
otoh, I still think the basic point holds, tho, for a push platform like X, unlike Google which people actively use to find things that they want to buy.
As platforms & the way they engage their audience TikTok & X are apples & oranges.
That said, even though my feeling is that the TikTok number's high, I'm not surprised it that would get far more traction.
Google Ads is far more targeted & it gets an overall hit rate of ~7.5%
Don't know what the muppet was expecting, but my understanding is that, from an advertsing POV, 11% is actually a pretty good hit rate.
"They don't even know what it is to be a fan. Y'know? To truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts."
3d desktop sw development for MCAD/FEA, etc... is why I originally moved to Mac, back in 2002. That & the fact I can get native MS Office on Mac.
But I do everything else on Linux (Rocky-10)
I have a pretty good idea: my ex-stepson's a habitual offender, who just got out from a 3 yr stretch in Nevada.
He did time in San Quentin, was in Corcoran same time as Charles Manson, & has the ink to prove it.
Truth is that US prisons are particularly brutal places, especially for the West.
I believe he meant the UK, not the US.
These incidents are not common in the UK.
