jbg Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 His use of English is not bad, since English is only a minor language in Canada, from what I understand from my trip to the Conservative convention in 2005. Reminds me of the time I went to New York. Seemed like everyone I met was Jewish lawyer. Bizarre, don't you think? How much in the way of English signage do you think I saw in Montreal outside the airport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Posted November 13, 2006 Report Share Posted November 13, 2006 I put my year of birth right in my screen name, but I have a feeling no one cares. I don't trust anyone born after the beatles disbanded....... Yah! Beatles Rock! I'm 19, but I wish I was 60, so I could have grown up in the 60's and witness all that amazing 60's stuff, like Beatles, Hippy's, free love...I thought I could find the 60's at a Bob Dylan concert I was at last week, but the world even modernized him! Modern times are depressing...I envy you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Alberta Progressive Conservatives going door to door. It was great, first year I was interested in politics too, got to meet Ralph Klein due to my involvement.

margrace Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I remember the start of the 2nd world war. I remember what it was like to have no health care. I remeber no hospitals except private ones. I remember taking years to pay off doctors bills and doing without other things. I remember working for $25 a week and a good suit cost $30. I remember good communities where people cared about others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you know how the rest of that goes I was never good in Math, but I'll give it a shot...If you were talking about the original Twist And Shout album released in Canada, you should be turning 60 sometime after this upcoming January.

Song goes (link): There are places I remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more In my life I love you more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngel_ Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Beatles are highly over-rated. Musical genius my butt. Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak.......this is music. i would tend to agree, but music has grown and evolved, im into the new musics of rock, metal, techno, new age, piano, celtic, and hell, i like some hip-hop too! but my fav. of beethoven was Moonlight Sonata, very epic, even sad, but most of all it tells a diffrent play to every listener. but if you want crazy go for: nine inch nails, blue october, perfect circle, tool, mudvaine, seether, korn, my chemical romance, and most of all, system of a down, very crazy! almost past insane! then again insanity is the closest point to reality a human can stand, who wants some, i got plenty!!!

Ladyjen Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 I love classical music and spend many hours listening to Dvorak, Beethoven and Mozart. But you can't underestimate the genius of the Beatles just because it's rock & roll. Or Queen, or Supertramp, or Abba or many, many others who were so incredibly talented.

No I dont dislike the Beatles because they are rock and roll. I think there are some really really talented rock musicians out there. Queen was a pretty good example, Supertramp as well, Rush. I like the Beatles too, I just think they are quite overrated as musical geniuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
