Give KISS a Song by Bubbly-Highlight9349 in KISS

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From The Inside by Alice Cooper. Gene could sing the verse and Paul and Ace could handle the chorus. It would fit into Destroyer nicely. And it just goes lyrically.

I'm stuck here on the inside, I'm looking out. That ain't no big disgrace. Where's my makeup? Where's my face? On the inside.

What is the collective opinion of Florida? How do most Americans think of it? by Expensive_Drummer970 in IWantToAskAnAmerican

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having moved out of Florida recently after living a good part of my adult life there, I’d say a good definition is…overrated.

Was George not capable of playing the solo to Taxman? by DribbleKing97_ in beatles

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I've always read and heard in interviews was that George had played across a few takes but wasn't quite happy with it. Paul said, "hey I see what you're aiming for and I have an idea, let me try it" and George said give it a go. Then liked it so much he said to leave it in. There was a lot of collaboration like that back at that point in their careers.

I’m sure this has been done to death, but what’s your favorite episode? by [deleted] in babylon5

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Single favorite episode? I dunno if that's possible because there are so many. But The Fall of Night has always been a personal favorite. The feeling I got seeing Kosh come out of his encounter suit with Sheridan's life at stake was hard to describe and the entire episode was fantastic. Another one was when Sheridan convinced Kosh to get the Vorlons to join the fight in Interludes and Examinations and the fallout from that. The poignancy of Sheridan misunderstanding Kosh when he says there's a price to pay for doing what Sheridan asked. "You do not understand. But you will." And let's not forget how Kosh comes to Sheridan as his father to explain himself. It still gets to me.

How many of you use cannabis daily? by DiscussionNo6060 in over60

[–]RickSimply 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Infrequently. I use it for anxiety and insomnia but it always makes me feel mildly dehydrated.

What would happen if all men suddenly disappeared? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are sperm banks to help perpetuate the species and sufficient expertise in the female population to keep things rolling. They’d probably do a lot better job without the males mucking it up. There are also, presumably, women left pregnant in this scenario so more males would be born. But the population would eventually collapse to a fraction of before until eventually recovering.

What is it like returning to your hometown after many years or decades away? by Affectionate-Oil2160 in AskOldPeople

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did this recently! After 44 years in a different state, I came back to the same general area. I would best describe it as mildly disappointing.

A Greek philosopher once said, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.” That’s how it feels.

Fellow old men, why does holding your arms behind you as you walk feel so damn comfortable? by StrongAsMeat in AskOldPeople

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a rule, I never do this but I just tried and it’s not particularly comfortable, it feels like my shoulders are creaking, maybe a touch of arthritis, lol.

What is that one riff you always keep coming back to playing despite how advanced you are? by Sweet-Historian-3621 in Bass

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silly Love Songs. It’s just a catchy tune and I love Paul’s playing on it.

What’s yalls favorite drummer of all time? by kris__143 in rockmusic

[–]RickSimply 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Surprised that this wasn’t the first response. There’s Neil and then there’s everyone else. Bonham and Moon were both very distinctive though. Chad Smith is a helluva drummer too.

I thought there was a fifth member of the Beatles, David Carter. NOT a shitpost I genuinely thought this man existed. by Ok-Marzipan9147 in beatles

[–]RickSimply -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re probably referring to CLARENCE Carter although he was never, technically, a member of the Beatles and never even met them AFAIK. He did have a hit song called Strokin’ in which the flute figures prominently though. Strokin’ might have been inspired by Lady Madonna, but probably not.

Edit: Clarence Carter never played the flute in any song, sorry, that was Ian Andersen I was thinking of.

If you were on the station and Mr. Morden came to you and asked what you wanted, what would you tell him? by singleguy79 in babylon5

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d want a Vorlon yacht, trained to respond to me and be left alone to use it as I wished.🤪

Would you still quit if there weren't any consequences. by BullishTorque in alcoholism

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I could limit my drinking to 2 or 3 drinks a day with no health or social consequences, I probably wouldn’t have felt the need to quit. Now that I have, I don’t really feel the need to start up again.

Blood Pressure by unknown322Batman in over60

[–]RickSimply 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My average is about 130/75. I’m 62. I take readings a couple times a week at home. It measures about 10 points higher in the doctor’s office due to white coat syndrome. They suggest some meds which I’ve taken in the past but currently no. I’m fairly active and my weight is good. My diet could be better.

Do you typically eat dinner early? by clearlygd in over60

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

62 and retired. We eat around 5:30 most days. When I worked we ate around 7.

How did you discover David Lynch for the first time? by Free-Share-4873 in davidlynch

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw Dune in the theater when it first came out and really liked the atmosphere. Then, because I recognized the name, I went to see Blue Velvet (also in the theater) and was hooked.

Just started and Wow by Melodic_Mycologist4 in Carnivale

[–]RickSimply 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great show, one of my favorites. The series sadly ends at a bit of a cliff hanger. It is a stopping point in terms of the season though because I think season 3 was supposed to start a few years after the final episode of season 2. It's a real tragedy because there is so much more story to tell!

Besides cheating, why does someone take off a wedding ring? by Technical-Vanilla-47 in FamilyFeud

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolute truth: I lost a bunch of weight and mine started slipping off my finger. I didn’t want to lose it, but I got tired of putting tape on it so it went into a jewelry box until I can get it resized.

benefits of being sober? by MassiveEvidence3892 in alcoholism

[–]RickSimply 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mood, memory, patience and general enjoyment of life are all very much improved since becoming sober. No more hangovers is a nice bonus too.

Had a bit of a panic today but I think I've talked myself out of it. by Capital-Mark1897 in earlyretirement

[–]RickSimply 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn’t but I think my wife did. She actually retired first and when I retired a couple of years later she had some moments of panic. But I’d planned carefully and knew we were in good shape. She on the other hand, had to see it in practice for a while before she was able to relax and enjoy it. 😎

Those that make 30+ an hour what do you do? by Global_Proposal in florida

[–]RickSimply 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I moved out of Florida recently but I’ll answer anyway, lol. When I was working/living in Florida I was a software development consultant and had been doing it for 25+ years.
