I’ve been riding Harley’s since 1976. Of the ten “musts” list I only sport a short white beard.
I thought this was interesting:
From the paper:
“On October 6, 2011, Cummins Power Generation inaugurated its Acoustical Technology Center (ATC) in Fridley, MN, USA. This state of the art facility was constructed by Industrial Acoustics Company and is one of the largest in the power generation industry in the world. The hemi-anechoic chamber is 105 feet long, 80 feet wide and 36.5 feet high, with cut-off frequency of 50 Hz and is both, ISO 3745:2003 and ISO 3744:2010 compliant.”

Britain in the 80s - 3 (count 'em) TV channels
BBC1 was still speaking in “received pronunciation” a kind of synthetic posh accent.
BBC2 had “The Open University” and programs about ballet and the like.
The only advantage was nature documentaries (stunning) and NO adverts.
ITV was, well, just a bit crap (and covered in adverts).
In the early 80s our 4th channel was commissioned.
It gave us “The Tube” - live music from excellent bands, interviews with all sorts of folks (I recall Miles Davis was one of them) and broadcast live. It also launched Jools Holland’s TV career, but we can forgive them that.
Then in the 90s - it gave us “The Word”.
Late night post-pub TV, with some really excellent live music (played live, hence no “pop” acts).
Many special moments - RATM promising to not sing the “F*** you I wont do what you tell me”
and then doing exactly that (live broadcast again).
Nirvanna.
L7 (famous for the guitarist whipping her clothes off mid set).
Members of the public “snogging a granny” or eating maggots so they could appear on TV.
Also see “Eurotrash”

In case you haven’t been following this story the last couple of days, this news comes after pre sales actually crashed Ticketmaster two days ago. Now there are not enough tickets for sale to the general public that was supposed to start tomorrow.
I’m working with a buddy who found out last night that his wife spent $2900 for four tickets for his daughter. $500 was in additional fees.
There are so many insane aspects to this story and while I’m not in Taylor Swift’s target audience this has solidified my stance on not spending money on concerts of this magnitude. I’m gonna stay home and listen to my stereo and go to the occasional small show.
Yet somehow The Village Vanguard’s New Years Eve show with Christian McBride is $60.

I saw somewhere that front row seats for TS were $30k a seat. Wow. Just Wow.
