Ahem, why not about the likes? :roll:
All of us have our likes and dislikes, and, as it seems, they're often being discussed on the board. "Hate" threads are not welcome, that's true, but i've never noticed simply saying "i don't like X" was ever considered to be a crime here. Or am i missing something? :roll:

Oh, and you're wrong guys saying that bassists are the most underrated artists. Cowbell players are. And on top of that, they have no strings at all. :twisted:

Now don't go getting too literal on us Sheena..................likes and dislikes are fair game of course so long as no one gets hurt or offended in the process. :D If you know what I mean :wink:

Cowbells are nice, but sometimes I dig the occasional xylophone solo...

Boy, I forgot about that one! So after their one hit, the band broke up and they started a coffee store chain, right? :mrgreen:

hah! and to think you scoffed at the awesomeness of Steve Miller's "Abra Cadabra" :lol: :lol:


I will say the Xylophone and Synthesizer solos are pretty hot.




oh yeah, I figured the lead singer of Starbuck out:

Ehm, i only wanted to clear things up, for myself perhaps. :oops:

Right, yeah. That's another question that has been discussed before, and another example of what one may call "it's clear that nothing is clear".

"It's clear that nothing is clear" would be a great line for a song Sheena :D

A popular local saying. :) More likely than not, deriving from a famous Socrates' line, "Scio mе nihil scire" (all i know is that i know nothing).

Too bad RRF isn't like Facebook where you can like and dislike stuff.
See, I only have a like option on FB and would sometimes need a dislike option... anyone got a spare :P

I think it's a miracle nobody has stated his/herself as most underrated artist so far :lol:

Some of us are so underrated that we can't even get on the list of underrated artists...

I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

Something like this:
It's clear that nothing is clear,
I fear there's nothing to fear,
I know there's no-one to know
When will it stop and where will it go.
(Verbs rhyming, aaaawful.)
