Jimi Hendrix
Robert Johnson
Duane Allman
Dicky Betts

Jimmy Page
Frank Zappa
Jeff Beck
Eric Clapton
Mark Knopfler
Neil Young

Damn, that list just kept gettin longer!”

“Johnny McLaughlin
Frank Marino
Carlos Santana
Al Dimeola
Any number of old Blues cats who just have never gotten the recognition they deserve.

These guys could all play the strings, but, I'd have to agree, Jimi could make sounds which were out of this world (or other-worldly!)”

“Do not suffer from loneliness.
Go outside.
Go away.
It's all the people making you lonely.
Pick a spot on the horizon and head straight for it.
Weave your way through a stand of Redwoods.
Kayak an island chain.
Peer over your toes at the edge of a canyon.
Go to your favorite place.
Again, and again.
This is what you need to do.
Not just because it fuels your independence,
But because it reminds you you're a part of something bigger.
And although it may not occur to the baffled onlookers who can't take their eyes off your smiling mud-covered wired-up insane self, it will occur to you.
You aren't the one who's lonely.

--Nike >ack!< commercial”

“There's a song in the canyon below me
And a song in the pines overhead,
As the sunlight crawls down from the snowline
And rustles the deer from his bed.
With mountains of green all around me
And mountains of white up above
And mountains of blue down the fall-line,
I follow the trail that I love.

--Charles Badger Clark (1883-1957)”

“INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbow'd.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley (1849-1903)”

Ask ten different scientists about the environment, population control, genetics and you'll get ten different answers, but there's one thing every scientist on the planet agrees on: Whether it happens in a hundred years or a thousand years or a million years, eventually our Sun will grow cold and go out. When that happens, it won't just take us. It'll take Marilyn Monroe and Lao-Tzu and Einstein and Morobuto and Buddy Holly and Aristophenes...and all of this...all of this was for nothing unless we go to the stars."
-- Jeffrey Sinclair, Babylon 5”

he was translating an old elvish book.”

“"The Americans seemed to confuse standard of living with quality of life, equal opportunity with institutionalized mediocrity, bravery with courage, machismo with manhood, liberty with freedom, wordiness with articulation, fun with pleasure - in short, all of the misconceptions common to those who assume that justice implies equality for all, rather than equality for equals."

“"I like big butts and I cannot lie" -- Sir Mix-a-lot”

“Rad, despite the obvious Shakespearean rip-off, Bilbo claimed to have written that verse. Perhaps he was translating it *into* Elvish (forgive my lack of fancy html italics).”

“Ken, who said that?”

“I said it, running girl. Do I have to go get the book and look up the page number? Bilbo said quite plainly that he wrote the entire poem.

Are you an LOR geek?”

What is an LOR geek?”
