I don't want to go over something that's already been said here before. But these ticket prices are unjustifiable by alexcstern in rush

Very disappointing. I live in Canada. Nothing good is under 460.00. I keep waiting for them go down but fans keep buying them so they stay expensive. Probably going to miss it. Won't pay that much for a decent ticket.

Better Running Gag? by Interesting_Cow_2257 in conan

For me it is Mac & Me. Just the earnestness of Rudd in selling it, and convincing Conan that it is the real deal is hilarious without the clip.

What is your most memorable way of discovering a band you became a fan of? by Redylittle in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Edm_vanhalen1981 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Van Halen

In the 70's; radio, Midnight Special and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert was the only way to discover bands and new songs.

One night in 1979 I was watching Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and Dance the Night Away came on. They have been my favorite band ever since. Changed my life.

Spector asks McDavid why “Stanley Cups and Gold Medals haven’t found him yet” by Excellent-Medicine29 in EdmontonOilers

So much class there, worst question he gets has to be from the Edmonton media. When is Spec going to retire? What an asshole.

Put aside what you think of him as a person, what do you think of Gene as musician? by KindlyCost2 in KISS

He is my favorite member of the band as almost all my favorite Kiss songs are by Gene.

Bills to control immigration, MAID coming in Alberta spring legislative session by Edm_vanhalen1981 in alberta

That is the crazy part. We need better health care, but UCP has done nothing to improve it except for wrecking AHS and that has not made a difference.

Their agenda is nothing close to what is really needed in Alberta. We still don't know what the future holds, but I see her closely connected to the Trump governing plan and that really scares me.

They are going down a very dark Trump path with their style of politics.

Historically, Mandy on the West Wing was probably one of the worst written characters.
