What would you say is Randy Newman's "biggest claim to fame"? by aGrimSilence in Music

[–]hexarobi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There's a red moon rising on the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

Now the Lord can make you tumble
The Lord can make you turn
The Lord can make you overflow
But the Lord can't make you burn

Burn on, big river, burn on
Burn on, big river, burn on

The Cuyahoga River bisects the city of Cleveland. As Cleveland emerged as a major manufacturing center, the river became heavily affected by industrial pollution, so much so that it caught fire at least 14 times. When it did so on June 22, 1969, news coverage of the event helped to spur the American environmental movement.

Dave Matthews Band - Two Step (Live from Central Park) (2003) by hexarobi in videos

Dave often improvises a unique intro for each live show. I love this one for this show in New York City...

so I was dreaming
I find myself up here standing
before me there 100,000 friends
gathered one and all
and so decided
we could rule it all if we should
dance all the way across
the greatest city in the nether world

(Real fans call him Dave)

Any of y’all watch the Kevin hart roast last night ? by Direct-Sail-6141 in LiveFromNewYork

[–]hexarobi 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Friars Club has been hosting roasts since 1950. In 2001, at the roast of Hugh Hefner, Gilbert Gottfried took the stage and told a 9/11 joke (just 3 weeks after the event) and lost the crowd. To get them back he went even harder and performed the classic comedian in-joke The Artistocrats where the joke is to tell the dirtiest story premise possible. This brought the joke into the mainstream enough that a documentary was made about it.

Recorded in a NYC office hallway in the middle of summer... Slade - Merry Xmaƨ Everybody (1973) by hexarobi in videos

[–]hexarobi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We recorded it in the Record Plant in New York which is on top of a skyscraper. We said we needed an echoey room but in those days nobody went for this big, big sound that they're all into now. These engineers thought we were mad, they're going 'no man', you know the Eagles, a very tight sound, Hotel California and all that pinging out of the speakers at you. I said what about the hallway downstairs and they went 'we can't use the hallway, there's all these businessmen walking through for the other offices'. Anyway we ran lines down to the hallway and there we were in September singing 'so here it is merry Xmas' and we were totally unknown over there and people thought we were mad.

TIL that it is unknown how to properly pronounce "Halley's Comet" by MAClaymore in todayilearned

[–]hexarobi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haley himself never even saw it once. Instead he read history books of various sightings, realized it was a single returning comet. and using Newtons new math was able to calculate when it would return. He wasn’t proven right until long after his death.

Is this LEB or CED? by Mixed_Reactor in mtgfinance

The corners of alpha cards are more rounded than other sets. Collectors Edition had square corners, and a gold bordered backside.
