The zenith of Crowe's fame does sound a bit disturbing in other ways. For one thing, he found himself on the receiving end of repeated nuisance calls from, of all people, Michael Jackson. "For two or three fucking years," he says. "I never met him, never shook his hand, but he found out the name I stayed in hotels under, so it didn't matter where I was, he'd ring up do this kind of thing, like you did when you were 10, you know. 'Is Mr Wall there? Is Mrs Wall there? Are there any Walls there? Then what's holding the roof up? Ha ha.' You're supposed to grow out of doing that, right?"

Well. At least now I know not to listen to your opinion at least for music. Out of the ~200 songs Metallica has recorded over the years, about 30ish have actually seen significant radio time. And in present day, maybe 7-10 still appear from time to time.


I guess it depends on your radio station.

Mine will play the entire Master of Puppets album without commercials some nights. They play all of their stuff periodically throughout the day.

Honestly, my pallet when it comes to music is so encompassing that it is likely that I would like the majority of most people's music, not just wydz. About the only music I can't stand is country and that whiny R&B music. Autotune rap is also annoying.

Regardless, my point is that majority of their best songs never touched radio broadcasts and therefore cannot be overplayed by the radio. Most regular fans of any band know the best songs (typically) aren't radio-friendly or are not mainstream enough to be played. Hidden gems, big Rick. Just like the hokie pokie, that's what it's all about.

I'd watch Terps do the hokie pokie.

Also Terps this dude came into work today in a wheelchair. I've seen a lot if guys golf from a wheelchair but this guy was really small and his wrists were fucked up too. He had a decent swing just overall, great for being in the chair but when I helped him carry what he bought to his car, he hit one button and the entire side if his car just whipped open and he rolled his ass up in the ramp and the entire passenger side and back seat were flat. Locked in his chair, hopped in the driver seat and took off. Do you have one of those? If so I have questions.

I do not have one of those. It sounds expensive.

I just have a Subaru Outback with hand controls that look like this:



The car is otherwise normal. I just open the door, pull up next to the driver's seat, transfer in, and then break-down my manual wheelchair into pieces. I first tear off the seat cushion (which has a velcro strip to hold it in place), then take off the wheels (they snap on with little axels), and then fold the backrest forward and slide the entire frame across my body into the passenger's seat.

I've been meaning to make a how-to video one of these days, since I had to learn it all on my own, but it could really help a new wheelchair user, while also satisfying anyone's curiosity. The whole process takes less than a minute.

That sounds unnecessary


Sidenote, I might be making a crude youtube cartoon in the same style as Brad Neely's "Professor Brothers" youtube videos for a class final (Neely is the guy who does the China IL series on adult swim).

I need to know of a decent movie-making software where I can easily synch my audio up with the crude images I make.

Heres an example of what he does that I would kind of imitate.

Yeah you've talked about your setup before, I was mainly curious what the cost is for that kind of thing but I figured there's probably a lot of organizations out there and car manufacturers who help out with it.
