What do you think costs more, A high school Jr/Sr or an 8th grader? face to face meetings, watching games live for a year or two vs five.
I would love to have a beer with you someday and hear your stories!
I got to see The Who, well half The Who, back in October at the Hollywood Bowl. Daltrey has lost his voice but it was still great. Townsend could still play the guitar but when he jumped he only got about 2 inches off the ground.
They had a full orchestra backing them up and they finished with Baba O'Riley.
Speaking of sons of drummers, Zak Starkey played the part of Keith Moon. He actually was pretty good. Townsend talked a lot, which was great. He mentioned that Starkey was actually a student of Moon's, Moon's only student.
Edit: Zak not Richard!

Painter hasn't had face to face meetings or watched this 8th graders games live. He has at most called him on the phone maybe once. Even then it most likely one of the assistants that called. $0
Check out that Kennedy Center class picture. Led Zeppelin, Buddy Guy, David Letterman. Buddy Guy (with Gary Clark, Jr playing his songs) would have been a headliner anywhere else....
August 14, 1968, three days before Woodstock, Janis Joplin played Indiana Beach (with Big Brother and the Holding Co.). While the roadies were setting up the equipment, Janis casually strolled the midway through the games and rides and none of the park visitors bothered her. She later told friends that she “was just having a good old time.” No one hassled Janis, no one asked her for autographs, no one screamed or hollered or caused a scene. Half the people didn’t even know who she was. By the way, a ticket to see Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company sold for $3.10. I would guess there were less than 200 people there.

Jason Bonham was on drums
Of all the concerts, from Zappa, the Beach Boys, Jefferson Airplane, the one that stands out for me was The Yardbirds' show on Aug. 12, 1966. Jimmy Page on bass and Jeff Beck on guitar. I missed Clapton by about nine months as he left the band in 1965.
Did you catch Jason at the Murat about two years ago? I think it was called The Zeppelen Experience??? Loudest concert I've ever attended. Almost ruined it for me ... but not quite. They did a split-screen with Bonzo on one side and Jason live on the other ... it was amazing
Heart was bad as hell. Them chicks flat out rocked. And they did a damn good job with their Zeppelin covers.
Barracuda still gets me fired up.
Now you're really talkin.....and if you don't agree.....might have to go Crazy on You and Even it Up!
I missed that. Wasn't even aware. I saw a film of a concert, (Only time Zeppelin played after Bonzo's death?) where Jason was the drummer and they did show some split-screen with Jason and Bonzo drumming.
We should start a music forum so you guys can discuss that crap there
Come on man.....Did you watch Carsen Edwards play? When you're a badass on the court, it's OK to act like a badass on the court. You want your alpha dog to have some moxie.
moxie
[ mok-see ]
SEE SYNONYMS FOR moxie ON THESAURUS.COM
noun Slang.
vigor; verve; pep.
courage and aggressiveness; nerve.
skill; know-how.
I do not think that's what Emartin was seeing.
There have been plenty of "alpha dogs" that simply play the game, and play it extraordinarily well.
also as an example - Pioneer Moxie
- snaring wild game (such as a pheasant) with simply twigs and string
- starting a roaring blaze simply from rubbing sticks together - fire by constriction
- tracking back to camp using the call of the rare web-footed red- crested Lake Loon
I see your point. You don't see mine? There has to be some thought that goes into recruiting and the costs involved. In the past MP might of passed on a kid that is a long distance away and happens to be very young = a lot of recruiting resources. Now that the recruiting budget has improved some what maybe Coach has a little more money and can stay on on high level recruit even though the cost is going to be high.
To each their own. But I want me leader to make sure everyone, especially the opponent, to know who's running the show.
You hit on a great point: to each their own.
I never have responded to a ... "leader" ... who tried to act like a leader.
Let your work speak. Then, you're truly on the path to leadership.
We're talking about 18-22 year olds playing college basketball, not the CEO of a Fortune 500 company.
Also, your most productive player might not necessarily be the team leader. Often times he is, but not always.
You are correct about the age (actually, younger, I believe). The principles aren't any different.
And, no, the most productive might not necessarily be the leader, but that doesn't change the point.
Edit:
I love "leaders" like this:

"Who stole my Golden Arm? Who stole my Golden Arm?"
LOL...…..classic story"Who stole my Golden Arm? Who stole my Golden Arm?"
I was trying to find a pic of Barney and Gomer wide awake in their sleeping bags next to Andy......that was a damn funny scene!
Yeah, but he's a bit of a show boat for being 13. A little modesty would show maturity.
Thanks Tex!!!!! LOL...….it still makes me laugh knowing that this was the scene right after the ghost story finished, and the boys were assured that there was nothing to worry aboutHere you go, Pit. Enjoy.
another classic "scary" moment with these two.... "Ya Darn Fool!"
And then you have the ultimate classic......the old Rimshaw house

"That's probably just the light."
You and I have a lot in common with those Indiana Beach concerts. I went to the Janis and Big Brother concert with some fraternity brothers who had a band. She was so special. Never heard anyone "feel" the blues like Janis. After the show we hung out with the band in an old touring bus. She was drinking Southern Comfort from paper cups straight. She wasn't much to look at but man could she sing. I also had a special night in indy at the fairgrounds watching Chicago Transit Authority open for Jimi. Front row seats.
PIKE. I can't believe that concert was so cheap. I know there were not that many people there which was surprising.
but gas was a quarter and minimum wage $1.75 (I think). My first car was a new '68 Nova. $1,680.
LOL
True story: During that era, my grandfather kept two quarters in his truck glove box, in case he ran out of gas.
I would love to have that '68 Nova of yours...!
